Two big cars came into Gunnison
Monday, one from each direction, and
both attracted considerable attention.
The Pilot machine, driven by John
Hodges Of Montrose, hes been Makiag .
a six weeks tour of eastern Colorado
and Wyoming, and WAS returning to
Montrose. where Mr.. Hodges and his
family reside. He wss enthusiastic
over Monarch pass. Which stthOaah hut
recently opened, 10 10 the surprise of
every one proving almost, if not quite
as good an auto road rs Cochet0pa. To
be sure the road over Cochetopa proper,
is the finest in Colorado, bSt the ap-
proach mesa roads each side are still
rough. However, it is source of sat
isfaction to learn that Monarch pass has
improved so much. 1t seems that
Chaffee county did lots of work there
last fall, and this has had time to settle
and pack. When we get the through
route by Waunita springs, il will cut of
another seven miles, and carry this sec
ton of the Rainbow Route to one of the
finest attractions, possible is the
hotels and baths of great natural hot
spring.
Speaking of the air of prosperity in
the Gunnison section Mr.. Hodges de
clared we had the liveliest little city he
had seen on his travels. More building
going on, and a general air Of hopeful
ness and go that he liked. He was the
man who caught the first big fish of the
season early in June, and was intending
to stop down the river and try his luck
on capturing another Denver Post prize.
Dewitt C. Webber, well known Den
yer politician and at present owner OF
the Isis theatre there, came in from
Montrose Monday afternoon, having
been west via Cochetopa pass and Gun
nison a few days before. He stated
that no crossing of the continental
divide in the west was comparable with
Cochetopa. 1t was joy to come ovei
the divide on such fine road. He was
headed for Twin lakes on the big Pierce
/ Arrow, and intended 10 try Monarcf
pass.
That is one of the beauties of these
two passes. Cochetopa is open Sin
weeks earlier than any other in Colo
RADIO and will probably remain open thai
much longer in the fall. Indeed, some
winters we may expect to see it used
every month in the year. 1t Is also the
direct road to Durango, and the grea'
southwest. Monarch pass attracts
| autoists as an alternative route, elthel
coming or going, saves sixty miles II
distance and three hours in time during
the summer seasion and passes the add
1 tional attraction of Waunita Hot
! Springs. No other cross country road
can boast these advantages.

1t is surprising the regard in which
old Gunnisonites hold the memory Of
early days here. There is unquestion-
ably an unusual attachment which our
departed citizens still retain for the
home town. This WAS especially noted
in the united effort which we were able
to obtain in the many battles for the
establishment and success of our normal
school.
My husband told me to be sure and
get for him copies of the Gunnison
papers and full account of the town
and it's prosperity" So declared Mrs.
Nathaniel p. Babcock, who stopped for
twenty-four hours yesterday, on her
way to the exposition cities. Mrs.
Babcock, was herself here but few
months of 1882, and with her husband
left our town thirty-three years ago.
Yet, though absent for that time, and
during these last twenty years on the
editorial staff of Hearst's New York
American, Mr.. Babcock has never for
gotten his experiences as editor of the
News Democrat in the boom days OF
Gunnison
The lady was much interested in our
recent growth, the new normal. and
other evidences of how her home as q
young matron has taken on a new lease
of life.
When Mr.. Babcock ran the News
Democrat for Z. A. Buck, it was pub
hshed in what is now the Masonic
Temple and was then daily,

I Muskogees March Isl. II. Bod
l'die' a negro, living at Sixth street

ed and patented an improved cotton
press. The device is built entirely
Of steel and Is absolutely fireproof
It can be operated by one man
where the prgent contrivance for
baling cotton takes two and some
times more workers.
The machine is also capable Of use
in one story building; whereas. al

worked on the plan for more than
three years before patenting it. de-
'clares THAT it can be constructed
from one third to one-half 3 -.aper
thanN any press at present and will
save that much in cost of operation.
II is fed from the floor, which the in
ventor says; will be the means of
preventing many accidents.

has lived in Muskogee ten years. A

CAS- RATE
FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS

The state corporation commission
In an opinion by Henshaw. has order
ed the Guthrie Gas, Light, Fuel q I'M
Iprovement company to effect an ad
|iustment OF its gas rates to the public
schools Of Guthrie.
The complaint, which was made by
the board OF education Of Guthrie
against the above named company ant
the Oklahoma Natural Gas company
stated that in 1909 the service com
pany had made rate of 20 cents, and
that in 1911 the domestic rate of 80
cents was installed, with sliding
scale for large amounts down to 10
cents for 100000 feet or over. These
rates treated all the gas used by the
different schools as one installation
The Guthrie company then protested
against the sliding scale saying that
lit was discriminatory and the Okla
homa Natural Gas company protested
against treating all the schools as one
AS the Guthrie Gas company had
volunteered in 1909 the 20 cent rate
and also in 1911 granted the sliding
scale and the one meter basis for all
the schools, the aid of the corporation
commission was invoked by the board,
which resulted in the following
order:
1t is. therefore, ordered that the
defendants, the Guthrie Gas, Light,
Fuel & Improvement company and
the Oklahoma Natural Gas company,
shall establish a rate of 20 cents per
thousand cubic feet FOR each separate
school building III the city of Guthrie
for the first 100000 cubic feet; for the
next 100000 cubic feet, 16 cents net;
for the next 100000 cubic feet. IL
cents net; and all in excess of 1,500,-
900 cubic feet, 10 cents net 1t is fur
ther ordered that the defendants shall
refund to the commission, to be paid
by it to the complainant all amounts
in excess of the rates above establish
ed since the first day of January, 1914.
This order shall take effect and
bills be rendered hereunder on and
after April I, 1915"
