1t would seem as though there
were certain parties in this commu-
nifty that were not very conversant
with the state game and fish laws.
First of the week the glitter OF
jointed rods was seen flashing along
the banks of the stream below town
and it may probably be well foi
those concerned to take warning,
lest they be called upon to pay q
heavy fine or serve n term in Jail.
Better wait until May 25th to go
fishing.

Twenty and Thirty
Years Ago.

Twenty Years Ago! That is q
long space of time over which to
look back. Old settlers have for
gotten many OF the important incl
dents that occurred 3 decades ago in
framing the history and develop
ment and progress of Gunnison
county, and especially of the Elk
Mountain district. The Pilot, hav-
ing the distinction of being the old
est paper of continuous publication
in the county, will this week COM
mence to publish Twenty Years
Ago. column and annex thereto
"reminiscences OF Thirty years ago.
This we believe will not only be in
teresting to old-timers who still read
the Pilot, but will impart at time
valuable information to later resi-
dents of this section.

Which Go Into Effect
Today

Mr. William MendIin, of the Mend
lin Tire and Supply CO., 905 Shipley

been reduced by the Firestone Tire
and Rubber Co. to that Of Standard
list.
This, Mr.. Mendlin claims. will give
the public one OF the best inner tubes

tofore has been quite a serious one.

RECEIVER FOR BREAkWATER co.
  Has a Branch Plant at Navy Yard Internal Dissension Probable.

A hearing on the application of cred itors for the appointment of a receiver for the BreakWater Co. of Philadelphia, which has a branch plant at the Navy Yard, was held in Philadelphia Monday at 10 o'clock. The bankruptcy proceed ings have been started in the United States court for the district of east ern Pennsylvania. Notices of the hear ing on the appointment of a receiver were received by local creditors Satur- day.
 While there was a rumor last week that the company was in financial straits, it was not generally given ere dence and the proceedings in insol- Vency were more or less of a surprise.
 The company established it's branch plant at the Navy Yard about two years ago and the concern has been apparently doing a good business at that plant which is only one of sev- eral distributed in this section of the country The plant is equipped with modern appliances and from it has been furnished much of the stone used heFeabouts for government breakWa- ters which was the class of work in which the company specialized.
 Little is known about the circum- stances which led some of the credit ors to seek the appointment of a re- ceiver, but it is supposed that it is due to internal dissenSion in the com pany.
