The psrest water God ever gave

to Gunnison city and there Joins in
the noble Gunnison. Colorado's
most beautiful river. Gunnison
has the most healthful climate
imaginable and they have boast
over there that people die only from
old age None are ever sick
In our judgment the Gunnison
normal school will in very few
years be the best patronized school
in the list of the state institutions,
Gannison, we congratulate te YOU
Ii is a great pleasure to have aided
to some extent in securing, not
alone for you, but for all western
Colorado this splendid school.
Rocky Ford Tribune. -Gunnison
has shown what good, hard, con-
sistent plugging will do. 1t took
twenty-four years that was a fight
every minute, but Gunnison got the
Western Slope state normal school.
1t is that sort of spirit among bust
ness men that does things
Crawford Chronicle Hurrah for
Gunnison and its boosters. BY hard
work and perslstancy she has gained
the Normal School and is now work
ing with all her might and main for
the broad gaging of the Colorado a
Southern and extension toDelta. The
moral is obvious Let every town
in Delta county take up the fight for
this extension through its CONNER
cial association and we are sure to
win out There is nothing to he
lost and world to gain. We take
of our hats to you, Gunnison.
North Fork Times. is
hilarious over the fact that thev will
now have the new Western Slope
Normal Governor Shafroth signed
the bill passed by the Legislature,
appropriating $4,000 for the school.
There is also being organized in the
county Co-opera tive Telephone
company, that already has 100 sub
scribers at $50 each, and thev ex-
pect to increase the number to 800
or more in a short time With the
fishing season almost on Gunnison
will be going some this summer.
Delta Tribune. The Gunnison
Normal school is now an assured
thing, and as it is the only state insti-
tuition on the Western Slope the peo-
pie will take pride in it and give it
hearty support. There are no better
or more hospitable people in the
world than those at Gunn;son, and
when the school is built and ready
for business the students who go
there will be treated with that cor
diality characteristic of the people,
and be made to feel at home.
Lake City Times. a fight
lasting twenty three years Gunnison
has finally landed the Western Slope
stale normal school. When the
Legislature and the governor saw
that ''twenty-three" they knew it
was time to take the siding and let
Gunnisc1 have the right of way.
The Times extends its congratuia-
tions While we are certain that
Lake City would have been a better
location for the school, we do not
know Of a town more deserving OF it
than GuRnison 1t will greatly
benefit the whole western slope.
