Scrg't F B. Smith. who is recruit
ing for the Colorado Cavalry in this
vicinity. reports that he has had word
from Captain II. C. Washburn. OF Boul-
der, desiring him TO secure as many
men Hs possible during the next week.
The men from the Western Slope will
be placed in the new squadron Of caval-
~, which is being organized. with
Boulder as headquarters.
1t il especially desired that large
number of men in this squadron be men
who are already familiar with horses.
As the cavalry service consists in large
part Of advance guard duty. scout work,
and patrol work, IT is branch of the
service which should especially appeal
TO the red blood young man who desires
an opportunity for active service of the
most stirring sort
An added inducernent is found in the
fact that this squadron will be compos-
ed entirely ofCoorado men. The squad
ron. as soon rs it is formed. will be

for the war. During the past week the
War Department has issued Il ruling by
which all men who enlist now, will be
discharged at the close of the war. This
places the men who sign now for the
Colorado Cavalry upon basis similar
to the volunteers.
Serg't Smith will probably be unable
to visit Gunnson. and requests that all
who are willing to go, write him at
Montrose, giving him their names and
