MISS MAMIE MATTHEWS SIMMS;

'AA@@ 'AAA 'AA@ NAhA AAAA " - @AfAfA@f
The lairesl thing that ever touched
the sad old earlh-the sweet pure soul
Of blossoming womanhood-wenl out
Of our earthly lives, in the death Of
Miss Mamie Simms, daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. NJ b. SimmS which occurred
at The home on last Friday night A
sweet and beautiful girl, gentle and
good, loving and lovable, when Gods
soothing whisper came aud she slept,
numberless hearts we're saddened, and
the kindly light in The lives Of her
loved ones was dlmmed; the darkness
Of inexpicable the inconsolabe hovers
over them Deeply do we sympathize
with them. But our lament is for the
living rather than for the dead Her
life so pure, so true, so fair, has
but reached its own beautiful aud fit
ting environment in Gods luminous
valleys. True, cropping as we are
blindly in sorrows dim and dense twi-
light, we cannot always see the star
nor hear the angels gladstone music
in the great and beautiful beyond
But she has heard and joined this
choir Of all the blessed dead
When death came, the grim monster
was merciiul. Her travail was short
the sulferings Of transition from earth
into iairer land covered only a few
hours. Stricken in the morning, God
took her before the day had closed
Her life was that most beautiful thing
that God aud nature know-a life ot
service for friends and loved ones
Devoted to her home and home. life
her every thought was for The deai
homefolk, both in the old sweet home
OF her fathers house, and the new
home OF her hopes, in which, in only ;
few short weeks, she would have reign
ed-a queen.
Her lie was sweet and pure an,
beautiful. The world is better because
she was briefly Of it May God tn
good, and wise, and merciful cOmior
the ericl-saddened hearts Of those VIII
loved her and bring them peace!

Farris Creek Reservoir

The work OF completing the big
reservoir on Farris creek by Sam
and Elmer Bottcnfield and Matt
Stobs, who together are interested
in the enterprise, started this week
under the supervision Of Sam Bot
tenficld. AS heretofore mentioned
in the Pilot, this is among the fin
est reservoir sites TO bc found in the
state and the expense of conslruc-
ton is normal. A lake will be
formed, something like half Of n
mile long and n quatcr of mile in
width, with depths of from ten to
thirty feet, by the damming of II
narrow channel.
The completion of this dam will
not only mean the combining of u
large ipdy of reserve water for irri-
gation purposes, but it will mean a
fine lake for trout raising and boat
ing and the founding of a beautiful
fishing aud outing resort that will
become an attraction to the tourists
and sporting fraternity coming over
into this section of the country.
The lake can be stocIed in two
seasons and good fishing is even now
had in the Farris creek stream that
will furnish large supply of water
running into and out of the reser-
voir ut all times of the year. Good
hunting IS had in. the vicinity dur
ing the open seasons for grouse,
bear. deer, mountain lion, fox,
coyote, snowshoc rabbit, Etc. Ptar-
migan are rs frequently found here
as elsewhere in the state as it is
their natural habitat summer and
winter.
Beautiful groves of white and red
spruce and aspcns skirt the stream
above the reservoir, scattered in
many little parks along the creek
banks. The mountain sides east OF
the stream have tn, finest growth
OF Wild rasplerries known i'll this
section and during August dozens cf
berry pickcrs frequent these berry
patches and hundreds of quarts OF
the most delicious berries are annu-
ally gathered.

Crested Butte, Colorado, Thursday June S, 1913.

{ Apropos the recent complaint of
the wantonly mislsed authority Of
the umpire at the game of Crested
Butte vs.. Gunnison, the Pilot does
not intend To lend space for mud
Singing contest, where lot is said
and very little argument is brought
put, such as the article that ap-
pcarcd in the Ncws-Champion by
one of the ball team. Suffice it to
cay, that according to all reports,
the article published in the Pilot
Seemed to have the desired results
and much more harmonious game
resulted last Sunday.
Concerning the questioned dccis-
Inns, etc, it matters little whether
the umpire was not posted on all
points (for which he should not be
excused, if that were the case) or
whether, as the article admits, he
was acting under the wrong i'm
preston that the Buttes nine was
too ignorant on rules to know
whether the decisions were right,
etc, etc.
We think, however, that it is
now understood that the teams are
on an equal footing in these respects
ard that hereafter good harmony
will predominant all county games.

A Much Needed
County Road

Mr.. John Rush came over from
his r;lnch on the Muddy last Fri
day, accompanied Iy number of
parties who went with him down to
Gunnison from here to take out
their naturalization papers, he act
ing as a witness in their cases. MIR.
Rush reports Il very severe winter
on the Muddy by which many Of
his fine fruit trees were killed. He
states that the most urgent need OF
the Muddy creek settlers is a wagon
road up the creek above his place,
which is at the forks of the Muddy
and the North Fork some five miles
above Somerset. Tie wagon road
would have to be built up the creek
for fifteen miles, all of which dis
tance is thru u fine ranch section
that will eventually he settled up
after the road is finished so that
settlers can get to the railroad with
teams to market their produce.
There is probably not another
piece of road more badly wanted or
Justly called for in the county than
this and our commissioners should
see that they have it.
We have been trying for years to
get the wagon road thru from
Crested Butte to Somerset, bu. its
reality appears to be further off at
this time than it was five years ago.
With the present craze for good
automobile roads, the needs and
hopes of settlers and homc-makers
seem to have gone glimmcring, But
a good automobile cutoff road from
Crested Butte to Paonia would be-
come one Of the most popular tra-
versed routes in the county on ac-
count of its being thru the finest
fishing and hunting section in the
state, and it would be but two hours
drive between here and Paonia; all
down grade after leaving Irwin,
along Anthracite creek to the Muddy,
where forms the Moth Fork Of the
Gunnison from the union Of these
+ two streams.
