Usually, nowadays, the treatment Of
eczema, Pimples, rash and most stub
horn skin affections merely amounts to
the necessary applications Of Poslaus,
the healing remedy, and the use OF
Posiam Soap the pure, luxurious soap
medicated with Poslam. Distressing
surface troubles are healed through
this treatment and their recurrence
prevented.

weeks ago last "Wednesday night vhsn
ths Isedsss of ths Rspuh,iean party in
this county gathered togsther IN Roy
Lobdsll's ofIses at ths Court Houss, in
star-chambsr session. for the purpose
Of inducing Cemmissionss Gillaspey to
withdrsw = . candidate for rs-slsction.
in favor Of oos whom they thought would
be . more desirable CANDIDATE; and .
similar performance occurred subss-
quent 70 this time at another star
chamber session, which was, also. called
for the purpose Of further prevailing
upon Gillaspey to withdraw. but the
results Of both meetings were the same
-Gillaspey steadfastly refused to give
his assent to any such proposition and
insisted upon running.
The events which lead up to this star
chamber session are not at all unknown
to the good citizens Of Gunnison county.
and were not unknown to the leaders
Of the party at the time the Republican
assembly was held; but thinking that
the people could be hood winked all the
time, tried to put GiIlaspey across in
hopes that their game would not be dis
covered until it was too late.
OF course. they had other desirable
candidates and good men for the same
Office, but fearing the roar which Gillas-
pey would send up, in case he was not
re-nominated. they preferred to attempt
to bamboozle the citizens Of this county
and let Bill ride for another term.

per understanding Of financial s6airs;

GEORGE |. MILLER WILL
BUILD eO0O ROIDs
IT REASONABLE COST

Undoubtedly . county commissioner
finds it necessary to buy road graders.
steel pipe. and many other articles which
are necessary in rosd building. The
purchasing Of such articles are incident
to his profession. So the long recital
in the Gunnison Republican Of how
many things Commissioner W. A. Gil
lsspey has purchased, such recital ap-
parently being for the purpose Of con-
vincing the voters of how many good
things Commissioner Gillaspey has done
while in Office is of no particular con-
cen to the people who vote on Novem-
Der seventh. The important question Is
has this purchasing brought results?
Have the things thus purchased accom-
plished the most for the amount Of
money expended? This question can be
best decided by the. people who have
watched Commissioner Gillaspey's con-
duct in public affairs. and the argument
presented by last weeks Gunnison Re-
publican has offered no aid in reaching
such decision. II the Republican was
to follow its argument for GiIlaspey's
election to logical conclusion. it would
be necessary for it to use all Of its
columns from now on to election time,
naming the things this particular COM
missioner has bought for the county, and
the particular terms under which the
things were purchased.
It 10 business ability which counts in
accomplishing things. and things pur-
chased are only material for results. In
this respect George L. Miller. the Dem
ocrstic candidate for commissioner from

ful business man, and would spare no

News Champion readers will rec0llect
that last June at the annual meeting Of
the stock growers. L. H. Rouviere
brought in . report Of . special COM
mittse to investigate county Affairs.
In this report We rsad. q given in the
press reports:
.'The proposed Crested Butte. Som
erset, Marble road was frowned upon,
the argument being that it iWas un-
necessary, could only be used . few
months Of the year and that SOmerset
and Marble people could just - yell
be given roads ont into Delta and Pit
kin counties at less expense"
Since that time the road to develop
this entire north vest part Of Gunnison
county has been insistently demanded
BY the great communities Of Crested
Butte. Marble and Somerset Ithas re-
ceived the cordial endorsement Of the
,State Highway Commission and Forest
Service, who offer to put up . large
proportion Of The money. Delta and
Pitkin county people are 20 anxious to
connect up with the rest Of Gunnison
county thru this route that citizens
over there make trips to Denver in
favor Of II and offer to put up part Of
the construction money. Gunnison
citizens generally have come to almost
unanimous eonciusion that it 10 the
greatest internal Improvement We can
make in thi near future.
Was Mr.. Rouviere mistaken in his
ideas on road building. or il he still sat
isfied, having the Rainbow Route pass
his own door. to quit building roads and
let this vast territory with fully ore
third Of the county population suffer Is
it has for thirty-iive years with roads
that could hardly be called decent horse
trails? Does he still wish to build
roads '.out Of the county" instead Of
into the county, toward the county
seat?
