D|Es IT cRAn JUNCTION
Funeral from Catholic Church
At Csunnison Occurred
Thursday.

Although expected for some days
since her illness of over year had left
little or no hope in the hearts of friends,
yet the death of Mrs. Nora Mahoney
Trevarthen which occurred at Grand
junction Sunday evening. has been a
source of much grief to friends of the
family here.
Mrs. Trevarthen had been sick with
heart trouble, and her mother, Mrs.
Kathryn Mahoney, left last week to be
at her bedside The remains were
brought to Gunnison Tuesday and funer-
al services took place Thursday at ten
O'Clock from the Catholic church here,
Rev. FIR Jos. Oldenburg of Grand juno
ton conducting the services.
She was born at Cherokee, Iowa, on
May 3, 1856. Seven years ago she was
married to Irwin Trevarthen in Gunni-
m, and soon after removed to Grand
junction, Mr.. Trevarthen's run on the
Rio Grande being out of that city. The
death of this young matron is especially
ad, because of the family of three lit
tie girls left with the husband and
father to mourn her loss. Her mother
and father live in Gunnison, also her
sister. Miss Kathryn Mahoney. and
three brothers, Ed, jean and Jack Ma
honey. A sister, Mrs. Smith, of Ora
gon, Utah, arrived to attend the funeral
services.

treasurer
Arriving from Grand junction aad
Montrose where roasing meeting had
been held. these gentlemen we're met at
the train by large delegation from the
Young Mems Democratic Club. At
seven o'clock the club with the Assist
snce of loyal democratic ladies held
reception at the headquarters on Main
street, and hundreds came in q re-
new acquaintance with the candidates,
or to greet the future governor 1t
was a striking commentary on their
acquaintance with Colorado public life
to note the number of citizens that both
Senator Patterson and Roady kenehan
recollected and could call by name.
Punch and waters we're served BY the
ladies and the headquarters looked ex-
ceedingly fancy. decorations he wing
been added during the day by the demo
cratic club members.
Promptly at eight the crowd adjourn
ed to Unique Theatre, where Chair nan
c. II. Stone of the county central com
mittee introduced the speakers.
senator Patterson first paid a few
sincere compliments to the growth and
solidity of Gunnison from the front tier
town he used to visit SO often in early
days, speaking especially of the newer
buildings, the pavements, the subs an
tisl improvements of the stock and min
ing interests. He described it o. the
frutiou of the dreams and hopes of the
early settlers.
Taking up national issues he out
lined the accomplishments of Woodrow
Wilson and Democracy in power at
Washington, and defied the opposition
to criticize or in any way hope to APP
proach the results of the two years Of
Wilson, the greatest president since
Lincoln.
The senator ably discussed the wet
and dry proposition, showing that it
was in no way a political question, yet
pledging himself as governor to not only
enforce the present law for local option
or the new law for prohibition, should
that carry, but to also give his exocu-
tive approval to such new legislations
regulating the liquor traffic as a legis-
lature might find desirable to pass.
Plunging into state issues, Patterson
then discussed for an hour the recent
war caused by the present coal strike
and handled the situation without gloves.
That both sides had committed excesses
which finally required the state troops
and then the federal troops was true,
but he scored the uncompromising atti-
tude of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr. and
other coal operators and thought their
recent action in refusing to even con-
slider the good Offices of President VII
son was sad mistake. He took the
position of attorney for the great third
party in this strike, the plain citiz ms
who pays the taxes, and declared that
there were many things yet to try IN
the effort to peaceably settle the coal
strike, as mutual compromise and
pacific spirit had settled the threatened
great railroad strikes. Carlson, Repuo-
lican candidate for governor, came IN

Through all Of the strike trouble
which has involved many Of the counties
of the state IN violence and financial and
industrial loss. Gsnnison county Is the
one large coal mining county which has
come out of this trouble with the least
violence and with the least expense to
the taxpayers The strike in this
county has cost the taxpayers practic-
ally nothing. We have had no militia,
no federal troops, no great armies Of
mine guards and no outrages which are
appalling.
The one man who undoubtedly has
done most to handle the strike situation
IN Gunnison county is Sheriff Pat Han
lon. He has set an example which has
won praise from every part Of the state,
and he is now receiving from the citi-
zens of Gunnison county merited com
mendstion for his official acts during
the strike trouble. In his efforts to be
fair and to see that justice is done on
both sides he has received the support
of the entire county administration.
There have been many trying moments
for the sheriff and other administra
county officers, and out of these trying
times comes the situation in Gunnison
county which is the best of any other
county in the state where similar con-
ditions have existed 1t would have
been easy to involve the taxpayers in
endless expense, and to have had any
amount of violence

lieves in upholding the law. He has
been fair and honest in his dealing with
men who have dri fted into trouble.
In his management of the jail, he has
won the approval and commendation of
the greatest prison authority in the
state. In the recent examination of the
county institution, the state Inspector
said that Gunnison county had one of
the best kept jails in the country, and
remarked that Sheriff Hanlon's deal
ings with and care of prisoners during
his term as sheriff had been worthy of
the highest commentator. His record
is such as to entitle him to reelection.

ing them, the Progressive Farmer
says:
Summarizing bit, let us see how
much the two-horse farmer. for in.

each OF cotton and corn, loses when
he burns the stalks and trash of his
entire forty acres. We will assume
that he makes 200 pounds Of lint and
twenty bushels OF corn to the acre
fine average for the stalk-burning
type OF farmer. Burning his cotton
stalks, leaves and burrs, he would lose
a fraction more than $50 from his
twenty acres. while from his twenty
acres OF corn, burning the stalks and
fodder, the loss would amount to 1872.
To this 1872 loss OF nitrogen must be
added the loss OF vegetable matter
humus-so much needed, and which.
II plowed under, would be as valuable
in increasing yields as the nitrogen
destroyed. In other words, such a
farmer loses almost 5000 a year by
such practices; but, to be conserva-
tive, let us cut II in two, and say
$780,"

A GRAVE SITUATION.

The law respecting the issuance of
deficiency warrants by the Governor
stipulates that the warrant, to be le-
gal, must be to supply a deficiency
that occurred before the converting OF
the next succeeding Legislature. No
deficiency has yet occurred in the
funds OF the university. nor will one
occur until next March, two months
after the Legislature shall have con.
vened In view OF this fact, could
Governor Colquitt issue a legal de-
ficiency warrant for the use of the
university? We venture to say, with
out wishing to profess any skill in re-
solving legal questions. that he could
not. and that II the university regents
had relied on his promise to issue a
deficiency warrant they would have
found themselves with warrant
which they could not cash. Certainly,
the authority Of the Governor to issue
a deficiency warrant in these circum.
stances is at least questionable, and
, the regents did well not to stake the
chance of having to close that insti-
tuition on an uncertainty of that kind.
II may be remarked, furthermore,
that since 1t is at least questionable
whether there is anything Governor
Colquitt can do to relieve the uni
versity of the embarrassment he has
brought on it, he can hardly complain
with reason when President Mezes
presents the facts of the case in a
way to bring them to the attention of
the only men who can certainly give
relief.-Galveston News.
