The Denver Post has long had a

The post office of Cebolla is in the
hotel office and has two daily mails.
A telephone line connects the office
with the Western Union telegraph at
Sapinero. One train each way passes
the hotel every day and drops pas
sengers almost at the very door. You
can hardly imagine a place more

CARPENTERS AT CEBOLLA A
MOST ATTRACTIVE RESORT
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily.
One of the most delightful places
along the Gunnison to spend a few
days is at the Sportsman Hotel at
Cebolla. The place is run by ]. j.
Carpenter, one of the famous hunters
of Colorado.
Cebolla. (Which by the way is pro-
nounced as if spelled Sevoia) is on
the narrow gauge Denver & Rio
Grande about twenty miles below the
city of Gunnison. The town con-
tains one house. The house is the
home of ]. ]. Carpenter. He has a
fine log cabin annex containing twen-
ty bg double rooms. These rooms are
log cabin effect of course, but the
beds and accommodations are as COM
Portable, clean and as we'll kept as
the rooms in the Brown Palace.
The annex is built along the banks
of the Gunnison river and the gentle
murmur of the river lulls the weary
fisherman to peaceful slumber. But
what is really more to the point one
can step on the back porch and cast
fly right in fine fishing hole. and
the chances are, catch trout.
The table is good. A chef prepares
as good meals as you get at a city
hotel and the home made butter,
plenty of fresh buttermilk and sweet
milk, and lots of fresh vegetables
grown on the placc makes even an
enthusiastic fisherman think twice
before he skips a meal.

SMALL FRUITS BRING
BIG BUNCH Of MONEY
Shipping A Car Every Day To City
Markets. Small Stnff Will Bring
Growers Nearly Two Hundred Thous-
and Dollars This Year.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Canon City people have always un-
derestimated the output OF small
fruits and vegetables.
And fruit growers have always over
looked this most profitable OF crops.
The product this year may sur
pass that Of all former years. though
we have had a pretty good shipment
every year.
The strawberry crop was not as
heavy as some years ago while some
crops are heavier.
There Is good money in strawber-
ries and 1t is strange more people do
not plant them out This year the
growers got an average OF $500 a
crate for their berries. which is 4
good price. Local dealers could have
marketed ten times as many as we're
raised. Take strawberries alone, this
community has shipped as much as
$4,000 worth. II is not an unus-
ual crop to pick 500 crates from an
acre. which would be 81 900. and there
II little labor or cost necessary ex-
cept at picking time.
A dealer estimates that Canon City
Is now shipping an average OF over a
car day. In fact. he thinks this ay-
erage win be maintained over the
