ucHIn|ne CLEANS STOVE
PIPE BUT sCATIERs
SCOT AL OVER house

To have your stove pipe cleaned by
tightening, or rather by electricity
which comes from the clouds, is an ex-
perience which many do not appreciate,
even though IL may save much work Of
the nature which tries the good will of
man and woman alike. Last Monday
afternoon when the thunder roared and
the rain came down in such volume, the
Tightening struck the chimney of the
John Cuthbert home in the west part of
the city, followed the pipe to the stove
below, turned over the stove and knock
ed downsMrs. Cuthbert who was stand
ing near the stove.
Mrs. Cuthbert was not injured and
the two children who We're in the house
Were unharmed. Mrs. Cuthbert says
that although the tightening cleaned
the pipe and the stove, it left sot all
over the house, and so she is not so
friendly to this method of stove pipe
cleaning.
The lightning last Monday was gen
orally severe. Near Doyleville it struck
a large tree and split it clear to the
ground.

HISTORIC COURT HOUSE
FENCE sA|o 70 HAVE COST
sli,ln.n Torn OoWl

The historic court house fence which
surrounded the county court house and
jail was torn down this week. 1t is
this fence which was said to have cost
the taxpayers more money than the
court house itself. In 1883, when the
fence was built, there was much turmoil
over this famous fence. 1t was built
by man named John McCormic, and
it is said that although he was supposed
to have gotten lots of coin out of its
construction, he actually got very little
for the reason that he was paid in war
rants which were only good for about
thirty-three cents on the dollar.
c. r. Bourdette, of this city, who had
the contract for painting the fence,
said this week that although the re-
ported cost of the fence was great, he
never got cent for his work He said
that he had sued the contractor and had
judgment against him but never col
lected on it.
And so, this most hideous fence which
has hid the court house for so many
years, and which in the common talk Of
the early days, cost $4,000, it seems,
paid no one very much money But il
is now gone and no doubt the man who
bought it refused to pay sl5, 900 for it.

There is only one thing that keeps
Gunnison from being an absolutely ideal
place in which to live, and to which we
can unhesitatingly invite students and
tourists. Gunnison is far ahead of al
most every other place in Colorado now
but why not make it more nearly per
feet. This one thing is the mosquito.
believe that can be almost entirely
overcome here as well as il has been in
many other places much worse than
Gunnison from this standpoint. The
following does not apply to ranches
where continuous irrigation is neeessa-
rily practised, but rather to the town
itself.
'The mosquito begins its life in an
egg deposited in the water by the adult
mosquito which lays its eggs only in
stagnant or still water. These in a few
days develop into larvae or wigglers
then into adult mosquitoes in a few days
more; totalling in all about eight days.
If we should remove their breeding
grounds we could almost exterminate
the mosquitoes, because according to
government investigations it has been
found that they seldom travel farther
than three hundred feet, unless blown
by wind or carried upon the back Of an
animal The few thus brought would
hardly be noticeable.
"'If every one would see to il that tin
cans, old pals, broken jars, crockery,
barrels and anything capable sf holding
water was hauled to the dump heap or
at least turned upside down, and that
all the main bitches Of the town were
cleaned each year, especially Of the
long grass along the sides, which affords
nearly as quiet place as swamp IN
which they breed; then in less than two
weeks time the town would be quite
free from the pest. In cases of swan
py places near a residence, few fish.
even suckers or carp would devour the
young wiggler mosquito while stlll
IN the water. or a very small amount of
Kerosene sprayed over the water or
even put into the water would kill
them. Care should be taken not to let
irrigation water stand in any one place
90 long as it takes the egg to hatch the
adult mosquito, which is about eight
days.
Il recognize that il is expensive to
keep the bitches clean in which water
runs oil the time, yet as long as condi-
tons are afforded mosquitoes will be
present in Just as large numbers as
breeding places are afforded. No doubt
the riddance of the mosquito would be
desirable as any Improvement that
could be made at the present time.

A special meeting Of the Chamber Of
Commerce was held last Wednesday
evening to consider primarily the gaes-
ti0n Of financing the cost Of the plans
and specifications which we're secured
for the proposed dormitory of the Nor
NAL, and to enter protest against ths
proposed dredging company IN Taylor
Park on Account Of the pollution Of the
water BY the company. Several other
minor matters came up and we're acted
upon. The meeting was called by the
President John A. Steele.
II was decided that the plans and
specifications Of the dormitory should he
paid for out Of the funds q the Chsm-
ber Of Commerce. Mhen this propDs-
ed dormiJory was first talked about, il
was found necessary to secure these
specifications before sufficient fgSres
could be furnished in order to call FOR
bids. The architect was paid one M,n-
dred dollars on condition that he would
be paid no more unless the building IVES
constructed.
Relative to the matter Of the pollution
Of the Taylor river by the dredging
company, it was shown that the com
pany was running waste into the river
which had already killed some Of the
fish in the head waters of the stream
and that if this practice was continued
it would be very injurious to the Ash
1t was decided that the Chamber of
Commerce would enter protest against
this practice of the placer company end
place the protest in the hands Of the
game and fish commission. A comlymit-
tee consisting sf SohAA .Stssls "a T.
c. Bartlett was appointed to look into,
draw up and enter the protest. This
committee WAS instructed to send a
Telegram the same evening asking the
fish and game commission TO take i'm
mediate action.
The question of rural route between
Gunnison and Cochetopa came up before
Chamber and it was stated by some of
the members that the postofiice depart
ment had indicated willingness to
establish such a route, providing the
people would agree to keep up the road
along the route This route has been
needed badly for some time, and it was
the sense of those present that every
thing possible should be done to estab-
lish such route. The president agreed
To look over the question of the road
and to see that such action would be
taken as was possible at this time.
1t was stated at the meeting that
there was some indication that Gunni-
son county building stone would be con
sidered for the Grand junction post
office. The information of the mem
bers relative to this matter was SO
meager that little could be done or con
sidered regarding this matter, but a
committee consisting of VIM. Fisher,
John A. Lehrriter and Clifford II. Stone
was appointed to secure further infor-
nation.
1t was decided that an effort would be
made to have regular meeting here
after.
