Last week there appeared in the
political dope columns of the Ganni-
son Republican an article concern
ing Assessments. signed BY "A
Subscriber Concerning this ar

ment which Is signed by the county
assessor, A. NJ. Thomas.
''Under the caption Of ''Unfsir As
sessments. in the campaign sheet of
the Gannison Republican of Sept. oath.
1914. appears an article signed by "A
Subscriber" that is SO false in every
particular that it could not fool any one
bat the unwsry. BY the signature at
tsched 10 the article, we can only at
tribute it to one of the parties that the
assessor has raised ON the number Of
stock returned on his schedule, and whe
was notified to appear before the com
missioners and show cause why he had
not made a true return over his affidavit
on his schedule.
''Mr.. Subscriber, the Board of Equal
izstion was in session for twenty days,
and you did not appear. We admit Mr..
Subscriber, that we raised you and
whenever you return a schedule that we
have absolute proof is false, if we re-
main in the office, it will be raised
''All land valuations have been gone
over by able and competent judges, and
admitted by owners themselves, to be
fair cash valuations.
All mining lodes, except where there
are known mineral reserves, have a uni
form price per acre.
With the exception of coal land ane
StAer corporate property, there wa,
only one objection to the assessed valu
: etion on lands made before the equal
zation board in tie county mis- .-..l,
and that was on &C cunt of no water fol
the land in question.
''Now Mr.. Subscriber of the Cam
psign Sheet that is given away, when
you come again, please have manhood
enough to sign your name; you can moi
expect people to believe you unless you
do, and after this attempt to deceive
you may expect the people to regaro
you with suspicion, even if you should
happen to tell the truth

This driving Is pure guess work.
These were the words Of d. l. White
man spoken few minutes before the
auto which he was driving left the road
at point aboat twenty three miles west
Of this city. and planged down the
mountain SIXTY feet THIS auto scci-
dent happened about five o siock Thurs

teen year odd daughter, died a. a result
of 1T. The wife. two daughters and =
friend were the other members Of the
party
II is sad. In this day of SO many
pleasure auto trips, it is more than sad
to think of 1t. And yet, too many auto
mobile drivers depend upon pure guess
work on these mountain roads. When
all of the cases Of careless driving which
are evidenced every day are taken into
consideration, II seems a wonder that
there are not more serious accidents of

seriousness Of their duty when they are

Whiteman, undoubtedly tender and
thoughtful in his care of the members
of his family who rode with him, drove

of ''pure guess work" things went
wrong.

day. Shortly after leaving Gunniso0
they met with . minor accident on the
Cooper grade which Jost them consider
able time. This accident came near to
being serious one. In seems that they
ran up on a wagon in narrow place and
in an attempt to avoid colliding with the
wagon, the machine was run partly off
of the high grade. They were COM
team to get back on the road.
Mr.. Whiteman told someone that this
first accident made him nervous, and
this was his condition when he struck
the rather dangerous road below Cebolla.
1t seems that at this time the sun Was
low and his wind shield muddy, the gen.
eral result being, he explained, that he
was blinded at times, and it was then
that he said ''this driving is pure guess
work The sun shining on the wind
shield undoubtedly blinded his view and
at this moment his big Stoddard- Dayton
car struck bad rock at the side of the
road, the front wheels were turned to
one side, and the car went over the en-
/ bankment, going down the mountain
side for sixty feet before il came to
stop. II is explained by some that at
this particular point there are two bad
rocks, and in turning out for one, an
auto driver, if not well acquainted with
the road, and especially if blinded by
the sun, is apt to strike the second one.

Grand Junction Sentinel:
The Automobile Blue Book for the
coming year will carry complete log
of the Midland Trail and a revised and
re-checked log of the Rainbow Route
according to j. X. Edwards and l.. |.
Brown, who were here the forepart Of
the week after having completed a re-
checking of the Rainbow Route.
While here Mr. Edwards gave out the
following official distances as they will
appear in the coming Blue Book:
Grand Junction to Delta. AZ 3 miles;
Delta to Montrose, 21.5 miles; Montrose
70 Cimarron, 212 miles: Cimarron to
Sapinero, 22.4 miles; Sapinero to Gunni-
son, 25s miles; Gunnison to Salida Il 8
miles, thus making the total distance
from here TO Salida, 2O3.s miles.
In speaking of the Rainbow Route.
Mr.. Edwards said: The grades are
splendid already and of course, Grand
junction being intensely interested in
seeing this road largely Travelled it will
have more money spent upon il and
will be made better each year, and al
ready it is in excellent condition Twas
really surprised at what had been ac-
complished in so short a time, as this is
the first year the Rainbow Route had in
reality been opened to tourist travel.

Judge Discovers Old Statute and

KALAMAZOO. Mich, Dec. 23.-The
general belief that the supreme court
decision, last week, which knocked
out the 1909 law relative to the sale
or giving OF cigarettes 10 minors, re-
moved all responsibility for such acts,
was upset when Judge Glen B. Fal-
ing. In municipal court, sent to jail
for IL hours. Harold Kersten, IL years
old. for giving and selling cigarettes
to boys under IL. The lad admitted
that he had furnished cigarettes TO a
number OF his playmates when ar
raigned In municipal court
Desiring TO give some kind of pun
ishment TO the boy for what he had
done, the Judge looked over the laws
of the state and found that under sec
ton 1884 OF the compiled laws OF
1897, that ony one who furnished a
boy under IL years of age tobacco in
any form, mentioning cigarettes, was
liable to jail sentence OF from 10 to
80 days
