recommendation was taken as indicat-
ing lively debate on the question
when 1t comes up for a vote. A motion
declaring that the rule always had
been a source of constant irritation
and unrest in the church." and asking
that it be referred to a committee, was
voted down promptly, arguments be-
ing presented that the full confer
ence was "going to settle that ques-
ton and no one else"
Arguments against continuing the
enhancement as presented were:
That the majority of church-goers
never have refrained from dancing
and theater-going because of the
church, and the violation Of this rule
has tended to bring all church discip-
line into contempt; that many people
regard Shakespeare on the stage as
being as good as Shakespeare in a
book; that many people refuse to con-
denim all plays because Of some of
them, just as much as they would re-
fuse to condemn all novels because
some novels are not proper; that
gambling is fundamentally wrong, and
does not need rule to prohibit it,

THE MILK PROBLEM SOLVED.

More than 10000 quarts of milk are
handled daily by the Erie county milk
association, which began business in
December, 1899. The association now
owns a three-story brick building that
cost $4,000, and is equipped with
$4,000 worth of apparatus for han
ding all classes of dairy products.
Business has grown from about $780,
900 the first year to $250,000, says
Farm and Home, and the company
now distributes about half the milk
used in the city Great economy in
distributing milk has been brought
about because the city Of Erie, Pa, Is
divided into districts and the one
driver serves all patrons along his
route. The producers have taken
stock in the company on the basis of
SO for each quart of milk produced.
For the last five years the company
paid producers "a cents per quart
for the contract milk and cents for
the surplus.

THE JUNE BRIDE.

June brides will be much different
this year from the June brides of other
years. says an exchange mo bride
ever look the same as another bride,
but this year fashion has decreed I'M
usual varieties in the way of colors
for the bride. Instead Of unrelieved
white the bride wearsea bit of pink.
She may select for her wedding gown,
instead of white satin, wedding
gown of crepe de chine, crepe meteor,
charmeuse, or any silken fabric that
either is white or has a tinge of pink.
Another innovation is the use of heath
er, laurel leaves, or a filet of silver
instead of the time honored orange
blossoms. If the bride wishes to be
daring she may carry bouquet of gor-
geous red roses"

E IMPROVEMENTS

1tis n source of great qualification,
to the people OF Crested Butte to learn
from excellent authority that the.
Colorado Fuel e. Iron Company,
with the coming of the standard
gauge, contemplate considerably
enlarged operation of their great
anthracite coal mine at Florcsta,
wlich will undoubtly include the
erection of great storage bins at this
point for the purpose of holding their
surplus production during the early
spring season and during the car
shortage period.
1t is generally understood that
the Floresta branch will not be wild
cncd at present, and consequently
transfer depot and storage
facilities must be provided hcre.
ThcrciiM such a growing demand
for anthracite coal, which, even at
the prcscnttimc cannot be supplied
and the mining Of this character of
coal is attended by such satisfactory
profits to the operators, that extend
cd operations will necessaily ,ensuc,
and in as much as there are several
opportunities in this field for the
of anthracite mining
the PILoT feels sanguinc
that the coming spring witness
the starting of the old Smith -Anth-
,racitc property among Others, for
the especial reason that its merits
are not unkown;quantity.

the representative-elect from Gun
nison county, is the local manager
of Robinson Lumber Company, and
is widely experienced mining eng
ineer.
W. H. Whalcn is county commits
sioner, president of the Crested
Butte Light and Water company,
and moreover, is recognized through
out the county as a live wire in all
matters pertaining to public and in
dustrial progress.
Martin Nerzuh conducts one Of
the largest mercantile concerns in
the county and is one OF the original
owners OF the company's coal prop
erty.
Every director named for the
company is heavily interested in the
proposition himself, all were selected
for their respective value to the COM
pany's affairs, all have direct and
intimate knowledge of the company's
holdings, together with full appre-
ciation Of its very promising pros
poets; and to crown these favorable
conditions is the fact that all arc inn
bucd with the desire to Immediately
get the matter under way to sue
cessful conclusion, which result will
mean much to the town ard county.
Gunnison county has been richly
endowed by nature, and her re.our-
ces--- more especially COAL have for
thirty years poured golden stream
of profits into the Golfers of the op-
orators, who have wisely recognized
the opportunity for investment safe
and sure.
The property of the company is
situated in the famous Crested Butte
coal fields, the production from
which il the acknowledged superior
of any coalin the west, and is located
Immediately upon the line OF thelD.
& X. G. RR :, .Rbout.thEec miles south
of town, the location being admir-
able for mining purposes. The prop
erty consists Of 200 acres of- the high
est quality steam and coking coal,
with clear title and secured by Z S.
patent. Development work already
performed shows three veins nggre-
eating about 25feet in thickness and
containing nearly 100000 tons
of coal.
With the coming of the standard
gauge, and the consequent enlarge
ment of the outside coal market, to
say nothing of the expansion of local
interests, and backed by its present
strong board of directors, this comp
any faces very promising outlook
for becoming one of the principal
producers of coal in the county.

best AID most extensive deposits OF

prove to be of value as u vein in
Wyoming has proved to be Of value
and has been extensively developed
at an immense expenditure, maps
of Which and n report will he found
in Government Mineral Resources
of 1911.
In come places it is safe ito say
that the content would ,be ,95 per-
cent graphite, while in Others it lis
mixed with probably % percent rock
Numerous difficulties have, been met
with in the mining of graphitc'm
this country, by far the larger numb
er being due to difficulty in eoucen-
tration. Such difficulty will not

tes-uf the impure graphite 'is did,
fcrent from that where trouble hns
been had, in that it occurs in a dif-
ferent sort of rock. This instead
of having the graphite disseminated
through shale has calcite dissemin-
ated through il which is OF sufficient

ofrthe easy separation Of thetwo into

1t is proposed to erect small

send out over the Cement Greek road
only.the product from this and that
which is taken out of the mine

Miss sisne siequist Delivered Excel
lent Address on The Prog
ress Of Mexico.

The first of the senior o~rations was
delivered at the high school this morn
ing by Signe Sjoquist. She chose for
her subject matter very good,
The most striking part of the speech
was the comparison Of the rise of all
great nations to the motion OF a pen-
dulum. Miss S1oquist declared that the
pendulum Of Mexico was at it's zenith
just before the Invasion of Cortez.
After explaining the glory Of the king
dom under Montezuma, she told of its
falling away. She ended by showing
that Mexico was again coming to the
front and If given a square deal would
develop into an important country.
Every senior is required to give an
Grafton before the school. Three Of
these o~rations will be given each
week until the close of school. Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday having
been chosen as the days on which they
will come.
