The two first hunting licenses fol
1918 were issued this week, one Ia
NJ. A. Jencks and one to E. G. Palmer.
Your usual fish and small game
hunting license will cost the usual
dollar. However, County Clerk Bar
rett has a "big game license" that
will cost you 81. This covers the
deer season, and is supposed to apply
to bear, etc. Then there is $25 nom
resident hunting license, 81 nom
resident fishing license, and a SIS nom
resident birdhunting license.
Women, and children under sixteen
do not require fishing license.
The deer season in 1918 is for four
days only, October to 4.
The present duck season closes Dec
ember 81, which is next Monday.
County Clerk r. o. Barrett has is
sued q number of explosive licenses
this week, and is ready to issue more
any time they are called for. This
powder license is quite q nuisance,
but necessary war measure.
People owning automobiles are de-
lighted to hear that the new 1918 auto
licenses have arrived, however, they
cannot be given out yet because the
accompanying tags are not here. Rob
Cooper has spoken for the first license
at the county clerks office.

plant is to be installed for eliminating
the impurities in the graphite mineral,
and making a pure carbon product
Molybdenum ore will be treated by
his machines, and also nearly every
other ore that needs concentrating to
render it marketable.
Manager Bottsford of the Forest
Queen has finished opening the drain
age tunnel. The air compressor and
hoisting plant at King shaft house
will begin operating, sinking the shift
two hundred feet. Two shifts will be
put on doing this work during this
winter, and all the old drifts and
slopes of both the King and Queen
mines will be thoroly sampled in the
meantime. The old shaft will be wild
ened to three compartments, two of
which will be used by the cages and
the other for manways. An ore samp-
ling plant will be employed to test
every ore sample taken from the
mines.
The Gem mine, adjoining the Forest
Queen properties, which lies east of
this mine and on the same vein, is to
be operated by Attorney Day, Of New
Yory City, its present owner, who was
here a short time since with his ex-
pert,E. f. Rowe, examining the mine.
This property has a plant of machin-
cry on 1t which was operated for many
years under the management of p. r.
Ropell, recently deceased in Denver,
The mine plant is to be put in repairs,
shaft retimbered, the mine operated,
and ore production commenced as soon
as possible the coming year.
The Star mine was closed down last
week by manager Larson because Of
his not being able to secure teams to
deliver ore to the railroad. He will
put on motor trucks the coming season
to handle the large bodies of ore now
blocked out in the mine, ready for
shipment.
R. E. Mckee, of Boston, was here
last week for the purpose Of starting
work on his Irwin property, which IS
located short distance above the
Ruby Chief mines in that district. On
account Of the lateness Of the season
and depth of snow there, he decided
to defer work until next spring.
q. M. Haymaker and family, who
have fine lead-zinc property near the
Doctor mine, came here last week to
remain for the balance of the winter.
Mr.. Haymaker has gone to work for
the c. F. & l. Co.
JAS. Burns returned from Cripple
Greek last week and went up to his
property in Irwin, which he expects to
work during the rest of the winter il
possible to get supplies to the mine.

Unless you file, with County Clerk
Clerk r. o. Barrett, your "Notice Of
Intention to Hold Mining Claim'by the
LIST of January, 1913, you cannot take
advantage of the suspension Of the law
on claim assessments.
Don't overlook this matter, if you
have a claim on which assessment
work is not done for 1917. OF course,
it does not apply to new locations any

Yours very truly,
THOS. B. STEARNS,
Fed. Food Administrator for Colorado


We notice in the papers this week
that many of the merchants in the
cities are now having wheatless and
meatless days, that is, they are not
selling meat on Tuesdays after jan
uary 9th, nor anything made from
wheat on Wednesdays, after January
9th. This. has been suggested by the
local food administration at Washing
ton and the retailers have decided it is
the most patriotic policy they can fol-
low.
Our merchants have not yet decided
upon anything like this, but it is prob
able they will before long. They are.
however, thinking of having a one
delivery system. E. M. Collins is
planning on having one solicit and one
delivery during the winter months,
probably beginning next week. The
Gunnison Grocery will cut to two de-
liveries q week and go on cash basis.
Our merchants have, however, been
ordered to conserve on -four by SELL
ing not more than fifty pounds to any
one person living in the city and not
more than one hundred pounds to per-
sons living IN the country.
The price now varies from $6 to
$3.50.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
GIVES WARNING
Notice Sent to County Food
Controller that Hoardins
is Unlawful and Unpat-
riiotic.
FLOUR SALES RESTRICTED
Fifty Pounds to Town Families At One
Time and One Hundred to Country
Folks Is Limit for Present. No
Restriction of Meat Buying Yet.

To All County Food Administrators:
This office is just in receipt of most
definite instructions yet issued in re-
gard to the proper method of pro-
cedure when facts arise constituting
case of boarding of food products.
Whenever information reaches you
that boarding has occurred especial
ly of flour, sugar, salt or canned goods
investigate at once the whole matter
carefully and assemble the facts pro-
viding definite answers as far as pos
sible to the following questions:
l. Name and address of purchas-
err?
2. Name and address of seller?
3. Is purchaser regular customer
of seller?
4. Has purchaser bought smaller
commodities from other dealers?
5. What are requirements of pur-
chaser for a reasonable period (say
80 days.?
6. In what quantities has purchas-
er been accustomed to buy heretofore?
Z. Will the quantities purchased
give the buyer larger quantity than
would seem normal in your opinion? :?
&. What is the reputation Of pur-
chaser in the community as support
er of the government?
9. Is the case aggravated or dcyou
think that explanation and warning
will Be Effective to prevent repetition
of the oifense?
10. Can you secure return of the
Surpins goods improperly delivered? :?
As the inYestigeki9l Nrocels e
the case ssems st6 6i5SeHE fk19ufgS
that make it worthy Of discipline in
some form, secure affidavits covering
all the various questions.
1t is the earnest intention of fhe
Food Administration to put stop to
boarding especially in exported COM
modities. If boarding is permitted to
continue not only will the supply of
food necessary for the support of our
soldiers and Allies be disastrously re-
duced but the control of prices will
become increasingly difficult. 1t is
the policy of the Administration to
overcome the tendency to boarding If
possible by personal explanation and
persuasion through appeals to pat
riotism and common sensce. Publicity
and an enlightened public opinion will
in most instances bring about the de-
sired result, but if these milder meas
ures do not suffice rest assured that
vigorous steps will be taken and pros
ecutions through the federal courts
will follow.
Hoarding would be diminished if it
will generally be understood that there
is no actual shortage to justify it and
that the practice of it tends to bring
about the very conditions against
which it is directed. Please do your
utmost to. remedy every situation Of
this sort that arises in your county.
There is no present cause for alarm
in the existing food supply, and ap-
prehension if it exists can be allayed
by diligent use of the enrolment
workers in the card campaign with
constant emphasis upon the remarks
under "Hoarding" contained in the
new home card.
Yours very truly,
THOS. B. STEARNS,
Fed. Food Administrator for Colorado.

A Fatal Accident

Last SATURDAY, OCTOBER IND, at A.
NJ, q fatal accident occurred at the
Ry. yards in ,Gunnison, when H. G.
Rachel met his death. Young Rachel
who was fireman, stepped off his en-
gine to get drink of water, when he
slipped and fell, the engine running
over him, and severing his left leg.
Medical aid was summoned immedi-
ately, and it was decided to take him
to Salida. While on the way, the wound
opened and bled so profusely that the
young man only lived half an hour af-
ter reaching Salida. The death is Z
particularly sad one, Is Mr.. Rachel
was only ~ years Of age.
However, this account, says Mr..
Rachel, was like the story Of Mark
Twain's death, greatly exaggerated" !"
He recovered at the hospital, and is
good for many years yet.
Mr.. Rachel expects to bring his wife
and seven children over ii ! few days
and win occupy the Lehrritter house
ii West town.

FASHION CUES.
Points About the Very Lat
est Spring Toss Are Here.

Despite all the rumors to the oppo-
site effect there Is a strong directoire
influence In some Of the spring suits
and frocks. Especially is this true of
the Paris collection. In the suits this
effect is obtained in the placing Of the
belt and In the size Of the revers. As
for the materials used, there Is a guam
dty Of satin and charmeuse besides fig
ured and striped foulard and striped
mousseline. Embroidered chiffon Is
used to drape over satin or charmeuse.
There are seen both the barrel and the
draped skirts, while the skirt for the
suit Is narrower and occasionally
plated. Jackets for the two pieced
suits are short, for they reach to the
waist, not even the conservative finger
tip length that had been predicted for
the early spring. These short jackets
frequently show panels Of accordion
plaits and combination of materials,
but In different order from that which
we have been accustomed to-for in
stance, the skirts will be checked ma
terial and the jackets Of plain.
At the southern resorts, for cycling,
which is eminently southern sport, the
suits are most attractive, the skirts
short and the boomers Of the fitted
riding type, and these of a striped.
checked or blocked material, and the
jacket Of the predominating tone of
the figured material. The material
used for these sports clothes is home
spun. and this, by the way Of q change.
Is quite acceptable and very attrac-
tive. The skirts as often as not are d.
vided, and the knickers are, Of course.
Of the same material
On all sides we hear Of the slip-over
effect of suits and blouses and even
wraps. Organdie and linen make q
southern wear frock on this order.
Top coats come in all the bright new
colors and are most attractive in de-
sign. Some have quite a directoire
effect, while others show belts at the
natural waist line. Velvet ribbon en-
tiers into the trimming of these as well
as the dressier suit.

Traqedy of BEING Dull.

In the Woman's, Home Companion
Arnold Bennett describes the tragedy
Of being dull:
THE man lacking Imagination is the
utterly matter Of fact man. He Is nee
essarily the man who never has and
cannot have any point Of view except
his own. He Is the Wordsworthian
man to whom primrose by the rivers
brim was strictly a yellow primrose
instead Of being a miracle. He is i'm
prisoned In what to him Is the actual.
and he Is always the exact center Of
the prison, which Is Of thickest iron.
His tragedy is that he does not sus-
pect and Is incapable of suspecting
that he is in prison at all and that the
prison walls and floor and roof entirely
prevent him from really getting at
any other human being whatsoever.
He Is always in his own place. This
Is the deep meaning of dullness. and
this Is the dull mans door,

How a Bullet Falls.

In order to solve the problem a spe-
cial stand was erected in Germany.
and experiments were carried Oh along
the shores of a lake the surface of
which was frozen. The ice was COW
cred with strong planks. 1t was shown
that an infantry bullet shot upward in
a vertical direction passes downward
in the same position in which it pass
ed upward. In other words. It came
back to the earth with its bottom first.
Why was it not upset at its culmina-
ton point? The answer is that the
propelling force ceases to act at the
elimination point. but the twist has as
yet not stopped. and therefore it starts
its fall with a twist. Even ON impact
the twist has not stopped, as was in
dicated by the warping Of the wood
