Leadville Herald:-A son of the late
Grover Cleveland is a private in the
marines. \ year ago son of former
President Taft enlisted in the army
and is now in France, where the four
sons Of Roosevelt are fighting. This
makes six sons of former presidents
on the job to match the six sons of
the Kaiser.
MontrUse MISUNDERSTANDING of
hay hands has caused the price of
labor to increase to $500 per day and
board for single men in the hay fields,
and $500 per day with team. Some
laborers demanded higher wages but
farmers refused to pay higher price.
The work is now progressing quite
well and large amount of the crop
Is already in the :tack.
Among visitors from northwest
Gunnison County to the celebration
were George S. Craig and George,
who brought over some running
horses as well. Both gentlemen have
ranches on the west Muddy and are
vastly interested in those roads that
the county and state are building in
to what was, until recently, a track
less wilderness. 1t is fairly trackless
yet, but no wilderness, for something
like 800 homesteads are now filed on
in this region, and good roads are the
crying need of the settlers.
Montrose Press-Gunnison county
is looking to Montrose for help in the
hay harvest, even more than in for
mer years. The crop is heavy and in
excellent shape. In view of the fact
that at present there is comparative
ly little demand for labor in the Mont
rose section, every effort should be
made to send all possible help to
Gunnison to relieve the prospective
pressure in the hay fields. The Gun
nison season will be over before the
heavy demand in Montrose harvest
fields is on, and the help that goes up
the river can be returned in time for
beets, potatoes, and fruit.
