FORMER NEWSPAPER MAN
RECALLS EARLY DAYS HERE

Among the visitors in Gunnis0n
during this week was an old time, and
well known in mining states, news
paper man, w. A. Root, who in the
eighties was resident of Aspen and
of Gunnison city.
Resigning from the reportorial staff
on Leadville daily in November,
1879, he with others came to the
Roaring Fork valley, crossing the
Continental Divide at the head Of
Lake Greek, above Twin Lakes. In
the spring Of 1880, Mr.. Root was
made a justice Of the peace for the
Roaring Fork valley, and after the
town Of Aspen was incorporated in
1881, he was made Police Judge. In
the summer Of 1882 he came to Gum
nison and worked as reporter on the
Gunnison News-Democrat and was
also clerk in the County Clerks office
under Captain Bean, and while there,
he Transcribed the records of Pitkin
CoulfY which had been made by act
o1 leEislatune from on . portion Of
Cunni1on county, In the fall he re-
turned 70 Aspen. -

ances, Judge McDougal, Major Lake
and Senator d. T. Sapp had great
pleasure In recalling with Mr.. Root
Incidents Of the politics Of those early
days in the eighties, and stories Of
many citizens who were prominent
then in Gunnison county, and later be-
came much more 30 IN Denver and
elsewhere. =.
M. Root. during his stay here,
stated that few days before he was
,at the top Of Carbonate hill, back Of
Leadville, and he enjoyed panoramic
view, seemingly Of Q thousand miles in
. sort Of d circle with . magnificent
view Of old Mt. Massive and other
portions Of the Rockies, including the
city Of Leadville. In his vision, his
mind returned to the days Of 1876
when the pioneersA those men and
women who climbed up the gulches
and canyons over the mountains in
search Of gold-were leaders in the
land.
Truly, they were warriors bold and
from their efforts come . portion Of
the wealth which enables the United
States to find the means to send the
sinews Of war ACROSS the ocean to
crush out Imperilism and provide q
big worldwide democracy. And 90
could we still look upon . composite
picture Of those men and women who
led the way TO Leadville and over the
Continental Divide to the Roaring
Fork and other portions Of the Gunni-
son, and helped make 30 much possi-
BILE, silently we might bow our heads
and exc1Aim: eve thank you"

tative Of the Mining and Scientific
Press, Of. San Francisco. one Of the

Of the United States, and whose editor
and manager, T. A. Richards, was

With the track at the state fair grounds oiled and prepared for the breaking of records, the automobile classic of the season will be staged this afternoon, when Arizona drivers, in Arizona cars, will compete for hon. ors in a series of big prize events on the oval.
 One thousand dollars, to be split three ways, has been hung up as the prize money in the principal events of the day. This is the Arizona race, in which stripped racing cars will spin about the track, in an endeaVor to break all previous records. A number of the fastest cars ever seen in ac ton in Arizona, together with several surprises, will take part in this extra ordinary event. Many an old score between local drivers, each of whom holds that his car is the fastest. will be settled in this crucial test.
 The state fair commission has spent considerable money in having repaired the north corner of the track. where the serious accident during the state fair took place. In addition to th-S the entire track has been oiled. Entries

word of the new institution.

Mir. Bennett believes that strictly storage garage. conducted in conjunc- tion with an accessories business Will fill a long felt need of local motorists. No other similar business has been at tempted in Phoenix, but Mir. Bennett is of the opinion that patrons will be glad to know that there is q place where they may leave their cars with all safety and with the knowledge that they will receive proper care and will be placed where they may be easily obtained when the owners wisl 10 call for the-h.
 Located in the heart of the autom, bile business sections and equipped with all up to date conveniences, the garage should prove a mecca for mo torists who have occasion 10 avail themselves of this kind of service. The building is of cement and the automo- bile owner runs no risk of damage to his car by fire when it is left there over night.
 Mir Bennett enjoys the reputation or being one of the city's most progressive business men, and this effort on his part to meet a demand which has long been in evidence should receive the hearty support of all who are interested in the development of the automobile business and the serving of patrons.
