Crested Butte. Colo. March ~, lsl4
Last Friday night the Community
Guild Hail was formally opened with a
band concert and basket ball game.
after which the ladies of the U. O.
church served delightful supper.
This being the initial performance Of
the Crested Butte Band in public rs
well as the FIRST basket ball game
played by the local teams. q large crowd
was in attendance. The band. which is
directed by l.. L. Gsvette and consists
Of twenty -four members, has had only
about two months practice, but their
work Friday night displayed marked
ability and unusual talent. They played
five or six selections during the evening,
keeping splendid time under the able
leadership Of Mr.. Gsvette, and the or
ganizstion is truly deserving of great
praise.
The basket ball game was interesting
from start to finish. The teams have
had about three weeks practice, and
only two members of the teams have
ever had any experience in basket ball
before. The line up was as follows;
John Yoklavich center James Arnott
Mike Bear guard Pete Campbell
r. McAllister- -rguard- A. H. Barnes
p Heuchemer r forward Tony RozmsR
Joe Ferro II forward Doe YoklavicA
John and Doe Yoklavich were captains
of their respective teams.
Substitutes Leonard Gladstone and
John Campbell.
In the first half Pete Campbell made
three baskets, fixing the score at six to
two in favor of Joe Yoklavich's team
ut the end of the first half
In the second half, John Yoklavich,
Robert McAlhster and Mike Bear made
a number of baskets, bringing the score
up to nineteen to eleven at the close of
the game in favor of John Yoklavich' S
side.
Considering the amount of practice
they have had, the boys played fast
game and should be able to hold their
own with outside teams in few weeks.

The fourth annual meeting OF the
Western Colorado Teachers Association
held at Montrose, March 5, 8, and z,
created much interest among local
teachers. many of whom were in atten-
dance.
Miss Lucy Spicer Of the Normal fac
ulty, gave a most interesting tslk on
Practical Arithmetic and Miss Kath-
crime Hale, head of the kindergarten
department of the Normal, discussed
primary ethics.
A solo, by james Herbert Kelley,
principal Of the State Normal Scheol,
a she Thursday morning session, was
thoroughly appreciated and was the
subject of much fiattering comment.
One of the best addresses of the ses-
sion was that of Mr.. Kelley's, entitled
''Optimism in Education" He spoke
of the bill now pending in Congress for
the creation of national university at
Washington, ID. c., of the movement
which is now on foot for the federal
support of common schools, and of the
keen interest which is being taken in
health conditions, forcing many quack
medical schools out of existence and
improving the standard of others. He
spoke of the improvements which are
constantly being made in rural schools
and of many other changes which lead
one to hold an optimistic view of educa-
tion in general
The weather at Montrose was ideal,
an unusually large crowd attended AND
the program was excellent. The visi-
tors from Gunnison speak highly of the
cordiality of the Montrose citizens.
The next meeting will be held al
Delta.
The following resolutions were drawn
by the teachers.

alton has proved the most successful in

COUNT Cattle
Appo;ai Two Mca To Ca
Nunbes d CaltIe la tiae
County fod the P~pose q
Tax Adlustmeat

shS county, the county commissioners
IN the regular meeting this week ap-
pointed two men. both Of whom were
recommended by the csttlemen. to count
ali of the cattle found in the county and
make report to the county officials.
The two men appointed are Tom
Stevens and Louis Rosviere These
men, it is said, viii be depgtized by
County Treasurer Annie NJ. Downey to
make this count. 1t Is thought that
they can make the count in about TWEEN
ty days, thus completing the work be-
fore the cattle are turned onto the
range.
Ii is said by the county officials that
the amount paid by each cattle owner
will be changed in accordance with the
findings of these two men. The count
will also furnish basis for the assess
ment next year According to the law
the assessor cannot commence his work
of making the assessment before the
time when the cattle are placed on the
range. Consequently, this action for
getting q count on the cattle is taken
at this time.
There has been great deal Of agita-
tion to the effect that the number of
cattle allotted to the various taxpayers
on the assessment rolls does not come
near to conforming with the actusl
number owned by them in a number of
cases. In some cases there are more
snd sometimes less. For that reason,
in the interests of just taxation, the
commissioners have determined to make
fair count
The commissioners are anxious that
all rightful adjustments should be made
further steps to provide adjustments.
The adoption of the new principal of
full valuation has brought out a num-
Der of conditions which must be ad-
justed. The commissioners lowered
the levy this year and made it in strict
confos nifty with the change in the sys-
tenn and the amount of money which it
was thought would be needed for coun-
ty purposes. If there has been an over
assessment in number of cases, this
undoubtedly will be re-adjusted.
Besides the regular line of business,
the commissioners also took up the
question of the county buying the va
cant school house, located in West Gun
nison. for county hospital. But no
definite action was taken. There is
some agitation for the purchase of this
building by the county, it being the
plan that a small part would be used for
the county patients and the remainder
used for a Gunnison hospital for all
cases. 1t was also suggested by Com
missioner Gillaspey that the county sell
the present poor farm and buy the
Willis ranch which lies a short distance
from the city and near this school build
ing. 1t was pointed out, however, that
there are certain preliminary steps TAX
en- before this action of buying a school
building could be taken, and, as Com
missioner Whalen urged, the county is
not in financial condition at present to
make such purchase. There are other
demands on the county funds which are
more urgent.
The commissioners took up the regu-
lar business, allowing the bills and pass.
ing upon the reports of the county Off
GERS. Chairman Elmer Wiley and Com.
missioners W. H. Whalen and W. A.
Gillaspey were present.

Market Reports
Los Angeles Produce Market.

Los Angeles, April 4.-There was
an advance in the price of eggs yes
terday on the Los Angeles produce
exchange, making the new exchange
rate 22c dozen for the case count.
Although normal supplies came into
the city, several houses seemed to
be suffering from shortage and it
was the bidding of these houses that
forced the price up. Butter remained
unchanged although, as has been the
case for almost every day for week,
bids were made over the prevailing
quotation. There was a bid of 24c a
pound yesterday, but even this failed
to bring out any offerings.
The scarcity of strawberry rhubarb,
together with the large demand, sent
the price of the evtra choice to as
high as So box yesterday on the
market. The choice is more plenti-
full, but it moves well at around $3.50
a box. There has been very little
fancy stock shipped in so far their
year. AS has been expected for about
week, onions have started on a de-
cline in price with increased receipts.
Bermudas sold yesterday for as low
as So a crate and the best stock on
the market brought only $2.40. Crys-
tai wav were also affected, dropping
to SO a.crate. There was little thange
in asparagus as the demand rapidly
cleans up all that is shipped here from
Athe north.
Strawberries sold all the way from
