SCHOOLS TO RUN
SATURDAYS HEREAFTER
Children viii Be Speeded Up to War
Time Activity at Once According
to Vote Taken.


It was decided on Monday that the
Normal and County High schools
should have six days Of school q week,
beginning tomorrow. By adding one
day q week, until in May, will gain
three weeks on the calendar and have
commencement arrive May 18th, in
stead Of June 9Th. This will let the
Normal and High School students out
earlier to assist with the spring work.
1t was decided this week that all
grades in the training schools should
have six days Of school to until five
weeks Of commencement. After that
they will have only five days until
school is out. The public schools be-
gan . week early in the fall and 20
It will not be necessary for them to
make mp 20 much time.
All this Of course Is . war meas

There are many parents who object
to crowding the primary pupils, and

TWO PITKIN BOYS EN-
LIST IN FLYING CORPS

Carl Hefftner, George Klump, Al
bert Smith and 81 Nesbit motored in
from Pitkin Tuesday, the two former
intending to enlist in the army, but
the officers who advertised that they
would be here went straight thru to
Denver. Sheriff Hanlon says he met
them on the train and they were in
tending to be here three days, but had
just received . wire to go through.
However, we wish the department
would not send us notices that they
fail to back up. Il is quite serious
loss Of time for young men to come to
the county seat expecting to find re-
cruiting officers.
We understand, however, that the
young men got in communication with
the navy officials by phone and went
over that night to Denver to enlist.

TERRIBLE STORMS BLOCKADE
ALL EASTERN STATES

v. G. Brewer has a letter from an
old time Gunnisonite, M. N. Jones, in
which he says that snow is 66 inches
deep in Chicago.
On the main streets it is four feet
from curb to curb.
John Steele tells US that his brother
writes before the last storm of four
teen below and q gale blowing, which
is worse than any cold we ever saw
in Gunnison.
No one who not experienced the
northern blixzards in the central states
can even imagine the suffering that
must result with this amount Of snow,
the temperature around twenty below,
q gale blowing and shortage Of coal.

HOW THE FLYING
CORPS IS GROWING


By many II is believed this war will
be won in the air, and that here is
where America will first strike her
hammer blow. In this connection it is
interesting to note the growth of the
aviation department. Secretary Bak-
er says:
"The aviation section of the Signal
Corps ON the first day Of April, 1917,
consisted Of IS officers and 1,120 men.
On the first day Of January, 1918, it
consisted Of $500 officers and 81, ,l20
men.
This division Of the war depart
ment was charged by Congress with
the expenditure Of an appropriation
aggregating, for 1918, $74l, 900 900, or
five times the 1915 appropriation for
the entire War Department.
"The Engineer Department for
which in 1917 5000, 900 was ap-
propriated, was charged by the 1918
appropriation with expenditure Of
$390, ,000, 900, or about TOO per cent. in
crease.
There have been organized, trained
and equipped technical troops of for
esters, stevedores and railroad con-
struction and operation men aggre-
eating about 10000, many Of whom
have been operating in France for
some months"
It Ii among the engineers that Gun
nison county already has q number Of
her boys in France.

Asked about the war situation, Mr..
Sapp stated that they are in the thick

ing in the centers of population. Ap-
provsl Of the war and its aims is well

mostly at night, and nothing is heard
or printed of them. The shipbuilding
program ut the Gulf ports is going on
rapidly. Even wooden ships are be-
ing constructed there in large num-
bers.
At one Texas city where there is
q cantonment and two aviation camps
they are receiving large numbers Of
aeroplanes Of our own manufacture

BLAZING MOVIE FILM ENDAN-
GERS MONTR0SE AUDIENCE

That the precautions Of keeping the
operator at q moving picture show in q
metal box is not all useless was de-
monstrated in Montrose the other
night, when film caught fire at the
Empress theatre, from the friction
caused by the loose end of broken
film fiapping against the machine.
The films are celluloid and this burnt
like tender. The operator had pres
ence Of mind and tore Of the burning
end in an instant and threw It behind
him. However, ON the floor were five
other Aims that caught fire in Sec
ond, and he had just time to bolt
and lock the door. The crowd escap-
ed without panic, and the films burnt
out inside the operators box with q
loss Of only $3.50.

WEST TOWN !
SEWER COSTLY
ENGINEER.s ESTIMATE RUNB
HIGHER THAN FOR DISTRICT
NO. I.
This II SPITE sf Appareatly Inexpsp-
sive Ceastruetisa. ls Il Goo1 -.
iness Policy ct this Tlne.

In sewer district No. 2 proposed 1er
West Gunnison the estimated cost pr
lot is around $37. The engineer,
Peter O'Brien figures $Sl.25 without
the six per cent for contingent ez-
penses.
This is considerably higher than
anticipated. Indeed most people thot
with a shallow ditch for nine-tenths Of
the distance, only one pipe instead Of
two and the ditch digger making ~
high as block q day, the cost would
come down between SIS and SIS. The
cost in District No. is about $36 .
lot.
The council at its meeting Wednes-
day night, ordered publication Of the
required ordinances, leading up 10
proposals for bids. It is claimed the
increased cost Of pipe, the higher price
Of labor and the comparatively long
er outlet is responsible for the higher
estimate. II the contractor bids up
to the estimate it will be pretty ex-
pensive. II he plans on taking his
pay in district bonds as in No. l, the
fact that these six per cent bonds may
be at heavy discount and difficult
to dispose Of may figure in the esti-
HlAte anu the Dlus DeblOeb tne III
lots already provided for in this No.
2 district, nine lots in block 81, owned
by w. L. Richardson were ordered In
cluded.
II Sewer District No. 2 goes thru,
and the l26 lots are assessed at this
figure, which with interest on deferred
payments will make around $40 . lot,
any lots whose owners do not pay up
must in the final wind up be purchased
by the town at that figure. In other
words, the town must pay the sewer
tax II the owners won't and take TIE
lots .as security. There are lot u
people who figdre that this means tie
town win eventually buy zoo lots q
el0rn .lot. but On the eflier h11sd fhe
people Of West Gunnison ara very
anxious for the sewer, and insist wen
nigh unanimously that the 426 lots
will all pay out.
The council also ordered further
legal steps in the proposed extensions
to Sewer District No. 1. Estimated
cost Of these extensions is $31.45 . lot,
plus interest and contingent expenses.

demonstrated by experience in
hundreds Of agricultural counties
in all sections Of the United States
that the employment Of County
Agricultural Agent is one of the
most effective means Of assisting
in production, conservation and
marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts.
NOW BE 1T RESOLVED by
the Colorado State Council of De-
fense that all County Councils Of
Defense in Colorado be and here
by are urged to do everything in
their power to encourage the en-
ployment of County Agricultural
Agents in their respective coun-
ties and to give their unqualified
support to County Agents who are
already employed"
There never has been any strong
demand for an agricultural agent in
Gunnison county, and the members
of the county council hesitate to make
recommendation until the matter is
given some thought by our people.
There is federal appropriation to
pay half the salary and expenses of
such IN agent, while the county pays
the other half.
It is fact that the value Of these
county agents, men Of ability and ex-
pert experience who will devote all
Of their time to furthering the cause
Of agriculture in . county, il coming
more and more to be recognized. A
few years ago there were only half
. dozen in Colorado, and these in the
big agricultural counties. Now near
ly half the state is covered, and sal
aries are paid depending on the cal
iber of the man secured, from $500
to $1,000 . year, often with the use
of an automobile. He works under
direction Of the State Agricultural
College.
But what could such q man do, es-
pecially in q mountain county like
Gunnison? We learn that among his
duties would be to visit every farm
and ranch during the year, giving all
information asked for free Of charge,
to carry knowledge Of the experiences
and successes or failures Of one ranch
man to others who wanted to know,
to give his assistance in breeding and
feeding experiments, to investigate
stock losses, their causes and RENE
dies, to study new varieties Of grains,
potatoes and grasses, to work out
storage and shipping problems and to
help carry on fairs and stock exhibits.
Also he would make war on preda-
tory wild animals and the ubiquitous
prairie dog, and work out the ques-
tion Of uure seed. Probably there are
other rays in which his time could
be made valuable.
Routt county, under similar climatic
conditions to ours has Just secured n
agricultural agent thru the college
ct Eoft Collins, and Prof. Jameson
writes e Roatt county:
