OLD PICTURE SUR
PRlSES GENE BRADBURY

A pictorial post card was sent to
Eugene Bradbury the other day from
Gunnison, Colo. 1t was the picture
of four fine looking fishermen, with
full paraphernalia for camping and
fishing. 1t looked as If it had been
taken about twenty years ago. From
the looks of the card it had been in
stock about that long. anyway.
Mr.. Bradbury was about to throw
the card away when something about
the men looked familiar to him. Close
examination disclosed the fact that it
was a group picture of himself,
Charles Schaeffer. Judge Kent Eldred
and Luther Dobson.
Mr.. Bradbury never knew that the
card had been put in post card form.
although the date of issue on the card
showed it had been made about 1900.
Kent Eldred looks as young ss he
does today. Charlie Schaeffer resem-
bles a Kentucky judge. Bradbury looks
like preacher.

WAAI 90 WE eET

According TO press dispatch from
Washington congress. the state gov
ernments. counties and townships will
spent 25O.0o0.00O year for the next
five years on the Improvement and
maintenance Of the roads of the coun-
try.
That statement in itself Is OF absorb.
ing interest to every citizen of the
United States.
But a question OF still more vital in
terest to US locally and personally is.
How much do we get?"
The people OF our community OF
course can decide what we ourselves
are to expend in good roads. but when
1t comes to the expenditure by the fed
eral and state governments we are
much of the opinion that the early
bird gets the biggest worm.
In other and palmer words. the fed.
eral government allots a certain
amount OF money TO each state for Inn
proving its roads. Then comes the
question of where and how that money
is to be spent.
We do not know Just what policy
will be pursued in this state but we
do know that IT will be clearly to our
interest for road Improvement in our
own territory.
The Lord knows we need road i'm.
provement. but He will not aid US in
the getting II we are not alive to our
own opportunities.
What we need in this section is a
man Of the type Of G. R. McIaIn who
did more to start the road movement
around this part Of the country than
most all the rest Of us put together.
II he were here now We would feel
reasonably sure Of getting . good
share Of thAt appropriation.

ANOTHER CANON CITY
BOY HAS MADE 6OOO

Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Kutxleb OF 1914
Harrison avenue Monday received a
letter from their son Charles at Ann
Arbor. Mich. stating that he had been
appointed by the government to the
superintendency OF the Arapahoe for
estry reservation with headquarters at
Frazer. Colo. The position carries
with II n nice salary and the friends
OF the fortunate young man will be
pleased to learn of the recognition
of his fitness for the place by the fed
eral authorities.
Charles Kutzieb IL a Canon City
boy and wss graduated from the high
school three years ago with honors.
He was awarded a scholarship at Colo
RADIO college for his class standingi
and took a two years course in the
latter Institution. specializing In for
estry work. From Colorado college
he went to the University Of Michigan
to continue his investigations in that
line OF research. and by pursuing his
work during the vacation months has
been able 20 complete a two years.
course at Ann Arbor.
In writing TO his parents about his
appointment Mr.. Kutxleb said that his
nomination for the place was entirely
unexpected and was the result OF re-
commendations filed with the forestry
service by the university authorities.
Mr.. Kutzieb is now in Denver and

of the Black Sea. 1t was imported in
to Europe by the Greeks under Alexan-
der the Great. Its propagation was
continued under cover during the Ro-
man empire and eventually found its
way to England, Ireland and Scot
land.
The first attempt to bring the pleas
ant to America was made by Richard
Bache. an Englishman, who married a
daughter of Benjamin Franklin. He
gave the birds their freedom in New
Jersey. near the Delaware river. but
they did not survive the winter. This
was more than hundred years ago.
Another attempt was made early in
the Nineteenth century in the same
locality. the birds being liberated with
NO success after the first winter.
About eighty years ago a man
brought one hundred pheasants from
England and raised them in an aviary.
They increased rapidly and when they
reached a goodly number were set
free. A few survived for a few years,
but soon died out.
1t was in 1880 that Hon. o. N. Denny,
then U. S. consul general at Shang-
hal, China, shipped a number of Ring
Necks to Oregon. All but twelve died
on the way over. These were liber-
ated and the next year more were
brought over. Most of these survived
and soon Oregon became stocked to
quite an extent.
The success in Oregon lead other
states to want to try their luck. Colo
RADIO made her first attempt in 1899.
when seventy-three birds were shipped
in. These were only partially success
full.
1t was not until three or four years
ago that pheasant breeding was start
ed in earnest and that was when War
den lyman of the penitentiary took
up the proposition. Trained men
among the prisoners took up the work
with the result that the original pen
has increased many fold and liberia
tions are made each year.
It is a singular fact. and one worth
while, that really the pioneer work in
breeding both the Ring Neck and the
Golden pheasants in Colorado is TAX
ing place in Canon iCty.

back and were just mounting Cotton
wood hill from the west approach
when they noticed ahead a Ford COM

going mp was driven by young lady
about seventeen and she thought the
two cars could not pass on the road

a little for suddenly they turned or
the embankment and rolled against a
fence below. Fortunately all were un-
scathed.

HURD PLUMMER CATCHES
A WH0PPlNG BIG TROUT

After years of persistent effort, Hurd
Plummer has at last realized his am
bition of catching the largest trout.
Recently near the Elkhorn resort he
got raise that was to be a history
maker for him. He followed the lead
and after a surprisingly short time.
because Hurd knows all the fine points
of the art, he landed Rainbow trout
weighing 3-4 pounds. 1t was 29H
inches long and inches wide.
That this is not fish story is at
tested by the fact that Hurd sent the
fish to Denver to have 1t mounted SO
that all could see It in the years to
come.
This fish is the biggest that has been
caught on the Gunnison in many years.
