By w. S. Whinnerv:
1t is with qualification that note the
interest taken in roads and road matters
by the News-Champion. That means
the awakening and arousing of the
general public as to the best routes for,
and best and cheapest mode of con-
structing roads.
When few of us first commenced
talking Good Roads" people in general
were rather Indifferent. County com
missioners had little or no support in
their efforts to improve road conditions.
Very little attention was given by the
Taxpayers to the expenditure Of county
road money, provided same did not in
crease taxation.
1t is different now. People are inter
ested and are watching with jealous
care and the county commissioner who
does not insist on getting value in work
or material for each dollar of public
money expended-wili soon be out of a
job himself.
In reference to the road from Lake
City via Powderhorn, we almost have it
now, in fact one can drive a machine
over it with comparative ease.
That part of the road from Gunnison
to the PowderhOrn is fine and too much
credit can not be given the men who
have made this road what il now is.
am personally. and in my belief
the people Of Lake City are generally in
hearty accord with Messrs. Sammons
and Foster in their views as to the com
pletion of the road from Powderhorn
west up the Lake Fork valley to Lake
City, before other work is commenced
and with such road builders as these
gentlemen on the job it will not require
any great amount of money or time to
complete work now commenced.
Then the old Mo1trose road from
Gate View west TO connect with the
Rainbow Route, on Pine creek. should
be put in passable condition for ma
chimes. This is a very necessary connec-
ton for Western Slope people and not
a very expensive one to make.
After these roads are built, and not
before, why not build the Sapinero road?
There are great many reasons why
it should be built. 1t viii not be an ex-
pensive road to keep up when proper
drainage is put in. The old road mas
not had any work done on it for more
than twenty years yet it Is still pass
able: machine was run over it last
summer.

Four new county officials took the
oath of office this week. Roy S. Lob
dell became county clerk and recorder,
taking the place of p. J. Hurley. w.
T. Hartman succeeded A. M. Thomas as
county assessor Luella Johnson took the
office of county superintendent of schools
which has been held by Sara b. Easter
ly. and Geo. l.. Miller becomes county
coroner in place of DR. Walker. Edgar
Wilson, of Crested Butte, is the new
and Martha c. Brown has been named
as the assistant in the assessors s office.
The assistants in the clerk and re-
corder's office who retired this week are
NJ. j. Schmitz and John Roman.
Changes in the county treasurer's
Office which occurred January End, were
commented upon last week.
/ W. H. Whalen succeeds himself on
the board of county commissioners, the
two holdover members being Elmer
Wiley and W. A. Gillaspey Mr.. Whalen
has proven his worth on the board, as
conservative business man and road
builder. He has the experience and the
ability to do great work for the county
in these coming four years of office and
it is generally predicted that he will
rise TO the opportunity.
The incumbents in office enter upon
their duties with an apparent determin-
alton to make good and conduct the
affairs Of their office in a creditable
manner, ard the people will watch their
public conduct with interest. Without
single exception the retiring officers
drop their public duties with a record
which is known to be efficient and
economical They have all accepted
public trust and they are releasing that
trust having served in a way which can
bring nothing but praise.
P. j. Hurley has a ways maintained
reputation for competency and courtesy
in public Office. He has been alive to
the best interests of the taxpayers. and
the public records in his care have re-
manned in the best condition. Hurley
is one Of the most popular men in Gun
nison county and is sure of success in
whatever business he may undertake
The assessors job is not an easy one,
and an assessor is subject to all sorts of
misunderstanding He is not free to
make assessments which will please the
people and yet the people are always of
the opinion that the assessor can make
assessments as low as be pleases To-
day there is a state tax commission
which raises the assessments if they do
not measure up to the prescribed stand

The board of county commissioners
in their regular semi-annual meeting
last Tuesday made request to the state
auditor that the books of the county
clerk be thoroughly audited
This step was taken by Messrs Wiley
and Whalen so the new incumbent would
know at once the exact condition of the
records, and because it is fact that the
board desires to have all these records
in the best possible shape Other books
at the court house may be audited. and
it is the belief that they will all be
found to be in good condition.
In their meeting Tuesday the board
reorganized, Commissioner Elmer Wiley
being elected chairman Roy Lobdell,
0y virtue Of his election as county clerk
and recorder, became the new clerk of
the board and on motion Of Commis-
sioners Giliaspey was made purchasing
agent and aJstra Z clerk.
Few changes were made in the sp-
pointive positions James b. Nash was
retained as county attorney, DIR. j. ID.
Walker was appointed county physician,
and Mrs. Marion Bates matron of the
county hospital. Albert Munich was
re-employed as janitor of the court
house.
The board allowed few bills which
had been presented since the first Of the
month, among them were those for the
payment of the right of way for the
county road in the Lower Gunnison val
ley. The width Of the right of way wa.
increased some time ago and the pro-
perty owners required TO move their

Post CAN.

That the year Just closed WAS the
banner industrial season Of this county
and this county seat community is indi-
Gated by figures available at the local
postoffice. From Martin Wenger. as
sistant postmaster, the News Champion
learns the money-order business has in
creased twenty per cent. especially of
domestic, while the parcel post business
has grown astonishingly. Here are the
figures:
MONEY ORDER BUSINESS:
7415 domestic orders issued s46332 80
Fees collected on dom. orders 420 "a
81 international orders issued l240 II
Fees on international orders 1910
2s79 domestic orders paid --- 2O40s. 90
10 international orders paid - 3ls.O
This is an increase in the money order
business oyer last year of about 20 per
cent in the domestic issues and 10 per
cent in domestic payments. There was
a decrease of about 80 per cent in the
International business due to the war in
Europe
PARCEL POST BUSINESS:
There is no accurate means of deter
mining the actual number of parcels
handled during the year just past but
the following estimates are almost ac-
curate because they are based upon an
actual count made for six weeks during
the year 1914, a substantial increase be
ing allowed for the holiday rush.
Number of ordinary parcels post re-
ceived --------------- 41605
Number of ordinary parcels post
