The town Of Gunnison has ap-
proximately I 800 inhabitants.
Once upon q time it had Close to
30, 600. But that was in boom
days when there were but few
houses and almost everybody
slept In tents. A great future
ssemed certain for Gunnison un-
til an unfortunate contest be-
tween the railroad and some Of
the towns foremost citizens de-
veloped and the Knockers began
to get busy. The town is beauti-
fully situated between hills, with
the Gunnison river to the west
aud Tomichi river to the south.
1t h a. level as a plane and the
townsite stretches over vast
territory, giving ample room for
growth. There are two banking
houses, splendid schools, includ-
ing a Normal school, four ch urches
an array Of business houses, two
newspaperr, and a number ot
pretty homes. The splendid La
veta hotel, a three-story brick
structure of 7O-odd rooms, elec-
tric lighted and steam heated il
known by travesers far and wide.
There IN no poverty and very few
poor people. Pro~perity has
been Gunnison's lot, in spite a
inhuesces working against her.
A beautiful surrounding country,
with ideal summers makes ths
Gunnieon country popular sum-
meSing place. The finest fishing
is found here and in the fallevery

surd Upon It's Face"

Chicago. April 25.-Edward Hines said
tonight that the testimony given by W.
c. Cook before the Helm committee was
untrue.
THE assertions are not based upon
facts and are utterly untrue" he de-
olared Mr.. Cook may have heard that l
had talked with Governor Deneen over
the Ions distance telephone on the day he
specified. but Governor Deneen has stated
no conversation such Is alleged, took
place: and. Il the Governors denial and
mine are not sufficient. the absurdity OF
the story upon its face ought to dispose
o. IT,
AS 10 Cooks tale about my alleged
connection with the election of United
States Senator stephenson, of Wisconsin,
it is absolutely untrue. I have not been in
Madison since several years before the
election OF Senator Stephenson. The re-
liability OF Mr.. Cooks statement in the
case of Senator Stephenson may be Judged
by the character Of his statement Of the
alleged telephone communication with Gov
ernOr Deneen.
This man FOR some time mas been trying
