CoIoGsdo Sa-kins a.d Nh
iag Company Loose Pro
prty By Failsse to Pay
Taxes on Same.

A decision of the Federal court whicA
will be of mach Importance to the
revenue department Of the state gov
ernment was made last week when
Judge Lewis sustained the tax titles
of certain mining property in Gunnison
county formerly owned by the Colorado
Smelling and Mining Company Of which
A. +. Reynolds is active president.
These tax titles are owned by Mrs.
Rsssie Wiley and John l.spold who were
the defendants in the actions by which
Reynolds and his company attempted to
dissolve the title. Attorney Dexter T..
Sspp of this city, who is the attorney
for Mrs. Wiley and Lupold received
word that the titles had been sustained
by the court on June 80. The cases
were tried before the court in Denver
on June and y.
The state courts for years have been
reluctant in sustaining tax titles and it
seems that the supreme court by its
decisions have made il generally known
that tax titles were not good. This
attitude on the part of the Supreme
court has crippled, in way, the reve-
nue. department of the state. In many
cases mining companies have absolutely
refused to pay their taxes, and it is
said that they have taken this action on
the belief that if their property was
sold for the taxes, they would fight the
title. But now comes this ascisioa -
the federal court which seems to denote
an attitude to support the revenue de-
partment of the government. 1t is
considered to be great victory for the
state.
The case was started early in the
year 1918 by Carl Sigfred and Hughes
and Dorsey, attorneys for the mining
company. 1t is shown that the mining
company had not paid its taxes Of 1904
in the Quartz Creek and Gold Brick
mining districts and had not paid any
taxes in these districts since that time.
In November and December of 1912
Mrs. Rassie Wiley bought one claim
the New Dollar in the Quartz Creek
district and John Lupold bought twenty
five in the Quartz Creek district A. Z.
Reynolds and his company than com.
menced action in the federal court tc
have these tax titles Cancelled, with the
result that the titles were sustained by
the decision of June 80.

HOUSE BURNED TO GROUND

A small house located south of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad tracks in
West Gunnison was burned to the

who was in Denver at time. Although
the fire alarm was sounded, it was i'm

BIC SIS ROBBERY

This robbery took place at Crested
Butte on July 4th, between 2 p. m. and
p. m, when the Gunnison base ball
team mixed with the Crested Butte
team.
THE Crested Butte umpire, Tom Me-
Neil by name is beyond doubt the rot
tenest umpire that ever graced a base
ball field. His decisions were so rank
that even the most staunch supporters
of the Buttes team agreed that the
Gunnison boys were robbed.
The battery that played for Crested
Butte was secured from Denver and
cost them so much money that they
absolutely had TO have the purse, no
matter how they got it. Well they got
it and along with the purse they made
such enemies of the Gunnison base ball
team and fans that under no circum-
stances will Crested Butte and Gunnison
meet N another baseball contest.
The game was all in Gunnison' s
favor until the last inning. The score
stood 10 to 3 in our favor. Ii was
then that the umpire saw chance to
show himself in his true colors, which
he did with a vengence. The two boys
from Denver said that in all their base
ball experience they had never seen
such rotten officiating.
The team that represents Gunnison
this year is the best that the town has
had for many years, but there is one
thing that they cannot do. and that is
beat a team that has an umpire in their
line up"

EUROPE TURNS TO THE
LIGHT SIX MOTOR CAR
Foreign Makers Following the Lead
Of American Manufacturers,
Says |. W. Dill

1t is claimed that Europe gave up
the building and use of six-cylinder
cars This is entirely incorrect Europe
in Europe are so radically different
from those in America that there
seemed no call for skies there. Yet as
matter of fact SKIES are growing in
favor. Small experimental skies were
entered at the last Grand Prix races
and made remarkable showing, so
much so that the Autocar, a leading
London motor car journal, commented
on the rapid rise to favor of the six
and stated it unquestionably would
increase in favor both in England and
on the continent. Two of the highest
grade English makers build skies
the Rolls-Royce and the Napier.
The roads of Europe are like a bill
lard table. 1t has been said the
worst European road is better than
the best American roads. They are
hard, level, dry.
Only the smallest amount of power
is needed to drive even a large car.
The car runs so smoothly that the
Vibration, so Objectionable and costly
on American roads, is almost entirely
lacking.
Then, too, the car owner in Europe
is taxed according to horse power and
cylinder contests. The aim is to keep
the engine rating as low as possible.
They have not yet learned to make
the small six cylinder. That is COM
ing. The Sunbeam car, a small cylin-
dered six, made wonderful record in
the Grand PriX and attracted a great
deal of attention. This promises to
result in much interest in the small
Enrnna iC IN i'm
provements. Until this year they
scorned the self-starter.
G. G. Behn. chief engineer of the
Hudson Motor Car Company, who re-
turned from Europe last month, tells
how in conversation with English en-
eineers they acknowledged that the
Americans had slipped one over on
them"
The foreign makers admitted that
they were forced to put on self-start-
ers and electric lights in order to COM
pete with American cars. The same
falling into line promises to be the
result of the American light six. AL
ready France and England are buying
many of these light skies. Mr.. Behn
found intense interest at the Paris
and London shows in the Hudson
6-40, the Hudson light six. 1t really
was one of the features of the show.
Just as soon as European owners
learn they can have all the advant-
ages and pleasures of the six with a
lesser fuel consumption, lower tirs
cost, and Seduced repair bills they
will demand six cylinder motors. Then
Europe will be forced to do just as
they have done in the case of the
self-starter and electric light build
six cylinder cars or see their trade
taken from them by American MAX
ers.

''SIXES''

Whenever tight shoe pinches, the wearer
makes wry face. And high-priced four-cylinder
shoes are pinching number of feet pretty hard
this season.
Let us examine the real situation of six" vs.
-four"
Three years ago there were eleven builders of
"Sixes" in the United States Last year twenty
five companies produced Skies" In 1914
thirty-seven OF the forty-two leading manufac-
turers of motor cars build "Sixes," and fourteen
build "Sixes' exclusively
Can such development be due to fad or
whim, as the builders of high-priced "fours" say?
High Priced Car Builders Found the
six" Superior
Seven years ago the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car
Company built tours" only = "fours" that were
above reproach. Six years ago they added 'Sixes"
because the six" was demanded by those who
wanted the utmost in motor car. For five years
the Pierce-Arrow has been building Skies only.
Not because the Perce-Arrow ''four' was not
good, but because the "Six" was proved bette.
For years the Packard Motor Car Company
built only "fours." To-day Packard cars are
built in Skies exclusively Not because the
Packard -four was not good; for there were no
better fours" But because Packard engineers
and Packard owners found the six" mechanical
ly superior to the ''four'-and the Packard Com
pany had the courage to build the car which was
proved best.
The Peerless Company abandoned "fours' for
Skies exclusively, because those who paid Peer
less prices demanded the superior smoothness,
fleXibility, and silence of the "Six."
Seven years ago the Winton Company pre-
dicted the growth and popularity Of the "Six"
Since 1908 Winton cars have been built in
"Sxes" only, because Winton found the Six
superior to the -four
Public Demand Forced the DEVELOPMENT
of the "Six''
The admitted mechanical superiority of the
six" over the -four" and the demand for this
superiority on the part of those who are willing
to pay any price for motor car luxury, forced
these builders of high-prced cars into the six
cylinder field.
So, too, were other successful builders of
"fours," such as Oakland, Oldsmobie. Stevens
Duryea, Jeffery, Mitchell, Studebaker, Marmon,
white, Hudson and Buick, forced into the six
cylinder field.
None of these companies changed their designs
or spent thousands and thousands of dollars for
new machinery and to market new types of cars
just to satisfy whim.
Through sheer merit the "Six" has CONQUERED
Practically every we'll known company this year
building car Of $3.50 or over, except one,
builds "Sxes.''
Is it possible that all of these admittedly Sue
cesstul companies are wrong? Isn't it logical to
suppose that the ma jority is right?

The high priced -four grows season to be more

more economical.
