Grand junction News-Governor
Shafroth has signed the Gunnison
normal school bill after cutting
down the maintenance and build
ing appropriations. She has fought
for that normal school for % wears
ever since Archie Stevenson intro
duced the initial Gunnison Normal
school bill back in 1886. The juno
ton holds no grudge against Gun
nison for It's success in the normal
school matter. The Western Slope
undoubtedly needed the normal
school and if the junction was not
to be the fortunate city Gunnison
certainly has the best claim to the
plum.
