LABOR AND Cars SHY FOR
LOWER VALLEY CROPS

Farm work in the lower valleys is
proceeding at high pressure and the
producers are fearful that they viii
have neither the cars nor the help to
save their abundant crops. At Delta,
Olathe. and Montrose, which towns the
editor visited this week, everybody
down to the women and children were
busy in the field from morning till
night. Schools are dismissed and the
wagons loaded with perishable pro-
duce like potatoes, onions, apples and
sugar beets are making the streets
hum. At Delta we were told that
from Is to 100 railroad cars go out
loaded every day, each carrying food
stuffs, which at present high prices
make them worth $500 car at least,
on the average. Still the cry is for
more cars, while the potatoes are on
ly third to half out, the apples
just nicely started and the sugar beets
barely begun. The peaches were near
ly all saved, and the onion crop is
well along. II has been a tremendous
year in farm production for Western
Colorado and one hates to see good
food stuffs wasted because there is
neither labor nor adequate transpor-
tation available.

NORMAL HAS 100000
) FOR new BUILDINGS
School Campus Viewed By
Expert Who Will Outline
Plans to Use Millage Of
$4,000 a Year

The State Normal School at Gun
nison is getting ready to spend two
hundred thousand dollars in new
buildings during the next ten years.
The growth of the school has been so
marked that our last Colorado legisla-
ture appropriated a special millage for
construction of needed new buildings
on the campus, which amounts to Sl9,
500 this year. AS the assessed val
uation of the state Increases this a.
mount will be exceeded, SO that during
the ten years for which the special
millage tax will run it is safe to figure
more than 100000 as available.
William B. lttnor of st. Louis, Mo.
dwell known landscape gardener and
architect, has been secured by the
state to lay out the plan of the new
buildings and outline the general
scheme of construction so that the
completed campus will form one har-
monious whole. The erection of the
buildings may start next year altho
under war conditions nothing definite
as to the date of constructing the diff
ferent buildings proposed can be Civ
en- at the time. However, it is good
to know we are going to get the mon
ey and that plans under way to give
US the necessary buildings which will
make the Colorado State Normal a
great teachers training school of the
west. Mr.. lttnor spent Thursday at
the Normal school here making pre-
liminary survey of the buildings and
campus.

derstand have been unable to arrive
ut any fair and just way Of settling
the ownership of the car, supposing
there is any car when the thing is
over. 1t was testified that the bal
lots in the box were turned over on
October 9Th to judges, consisting of
]. A. Steele, H. C. Bartlett and DIR.
Geo. Sullivan, but the ballots in the
box are SO confused with ballots which
are not in the box and should have
been counted, with ballots for money
not turned in, with million votes"
for this and "million votes" for that
entirely unexpected and perplexing
stunt, that it is believed no human be-
ing can make fair count.
Judge McDougal, as prosecuting
attorney, did his utmost to win the
case for the state, and made good
speech, but Jim Nash, who has been
playing in steady streak of winning
with lawsuits of late had his rabbits
foot right with him in this case.
After extended remarks from the
council the Justice dismissed the case
at plaintiffs cost, rather drastic act
not usual in cases of this nature.
And, now after all is said the ques-
ton of who if anyone wins the car is
still in the air. He is brave man
who will hazard guess as to which
fair rustler will pick the plum or
whether there will be any plum to
pluck after the Vons get through
litigating, while Mr.. Mcdowell still
holds the sack and hopes the snipe will
come his way pretty soon.
Since the above was in type it de-
velops that at noon during the conduct
Of the trial the car in question was
sold by Mr.. Won Mueller, who evident
" felt himself slipping, to his partner.
Whether this will enable him to evade
court costs Of several hundred dollars
and sundry judgments is another ques-
ton.
In fact it develops this morning
that Gunnison county owns the car,
it having been attached for the court
costs.

and the buffalo grass is high. The
the rabbits are thick. If l have my
choice of place to live when get
home again, l will choose some place
like this at Camp Funston. anything
you put in the ground grows fine. The
hogs look better than they do in Colo
rado, as they are corn fed.
The eastern part of Kansas is the
best. l noticed as l came east that
the crops are better the farther one
goes.
Will send you some money when
get my pay, but l don't get much this
month, as the month was nearly gone
before got here.
They treat US fine here. We get
everything in the line of clothes that
we need and have to buy nothing but
tobacco.

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

The University Of Colorado Club had
quite fortunate accident, if it can be
20 described, last Sunday evening on
their return from Camp Cascadilla.
The car containing Miss Mary Hughes,
Miss Margaret Collins, Mrs. F. A.
Martin, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hethering-
ton and son, Robert, was COM
ing along nicely when in turning the
curve just above the Neiderhut ranch
the car ran into the side of the hill
and was tipped about half way over.
Mr.. Hetherington was driving in the
dark and had struck a rock.
All were thrown clear of the car ex-
cept Judge Hetherington and he was
able to crawl out without assistance.
Miss Hughes and Mrs. Martin have
scratches and bruises. The car en-
joyed broken wind shield and badly
crippled front wheel, hence they were
unable to bring it home that night.
We are certainly :. very glad
the accident was no worse than it was
and we wish the Club better luck on
their next outing.

to travel in the 75O class.
If the Empire can evade putting
these names on the list they will be
able to cut Won No. out of all COM
missions except the $50 per week
which he has already drawn and the
amounts he has been able to soak
away in the field. always assuming
that the evidence in the trial is re-
liable and Trustworthy.
This evidence brought out the inter-
esting fact that Kaiser No. I was the
actual owner Of the car, he asserting
that he paid $500 cash, $500 in Sc
cured note and $3.50 to be paid in ad-
vertising. This affirmation was sup
ported by his ~co-owner" E. H. NC
Dowell. The establishing of this fact
of course Immediately laid the prize
car liable to certain judgments al
ready secured by creditors and other
action which can be brought against
him personally. Won No. also nd
mitted that he gave permission to
take the car at different times, and ex-
planned fully the system of vote get
ting, which seems to have been as
complicated n Chinese puzzle and
at no time understood either by the
contestants or the public. It provided
at the start that all rules were to be
made by the Vampire management,
which was also to be judge and jury
on all differences of opinion.
No. appears to have had unad-
ulterated and undiluted confidence in
No. 2 until the latter made his trip
to Pueblo, which he-von Helgast-
explains was due to the fact that the
car was 80 badly bunged up that he
wanted to get new one for the young
ladies. II is generally understood
that he had trade all cooked up by
which the damaged article was to be
exchanged for a beautiful new ma
chine by the simple process of pay
ing $500 to boot, (some say $875) but
for this the "Co-owners" would not
stand hitched. However, this inter-
esting matter was not touched at the
trial, wherein indeed a vast amount
of rumor and alleged fact concerning
the devious ways Of the contest were
not touched upon. Possibly this was
because they were not germane to
the trial and possibly their introduc-
ton would have disturbed the sleep
ing Senegambian in the kindling
Particularly is this true regarding
some $500 in cash which is in dispute
and has never appeared on the table
before the "co-owners."
The contestants all testified, but
rather more in favor Of Keelgas thar
Of Kaiser No. /. It seems they paid
money regularly to No. 2, alleging
that they were told to do so by No

that fact was mot brought out at the
