! friends that she recently met Fred C.

I'VE came, we saw, we conquered,
was about the way the wireless mes
sage read that the local high school
basket mama ascment sent in from Lead

der to keep up the fine athletic record
of their school, defeated the LeadvilIe

Through the courtesy of our old Col
orado friend, A. r. Powman, the Post
is in receipt of a copy of the San
| Diego Union, containing l40 pages. The
paper thoroughly exploits the southern
| California country and, coming at
time when we We're having real solid
winter weather, made us almost wish
we were fighting feas in the sands of
the coast country instead of wading
snow in Colorado, but when we thought
of the everlasting sameness that covers
that country like a blanket we con
cluded that Colorado which gives us
winter in the winter time and the most
delightful summers and good health
the year around was good enough.

Last Sunday when the snow was
disappearing so rapidly under the rays
of warm sun many feared that the
backbone of winter had actually been
broken. We use the word cleared
advisedly for our people have learned
from the past that an abundant snow
fall in the winter is an almost certa Il
guarantee of abundant crops the fol
lowing summer. Up to this week, while
the weather has been unusually cold
the snowfall has been discouragingly ly
light But the splendid fall of snow
this week, which it is said is very
heavy in the hills, will give courage to
the farmers throughout the valley who
will now rest easy as to next summers
water supply.
AS an interested spectator at the
land Office hearing in Glenwood this
week the Post man noticed w j. Fine,
a civil engineer well known in the early
days in Gunnison, Garfield and Pitkin
counties. Mr.. Fine had much to do
with the early development of this
western section, especially in the way
of locating some of the marble depos-
its that have now become the property
of the Colorado-Yule Marble company,
of which Mr.. Fine is the Denver rep
rcsentative. 1t seems good to see oc-
casionally in our midst the old pio-
neers of Mr.. Fines stamp who are
scarcely recognized by any of our citi-
zens except those who located here in
very early day.
