Cause for Fear.

Peggy was pupil in a school
where an epidemic of measles was
raging and she finally succumbed to
he disease
All went we'll, however, and at the
end of fortnight she was quite able
10 return to school. But the mere
uggestion of going back to school
was received with CONSERVATION.
Peggy didn't want to return; in fact
she was panicky over the thought.
"Whv is it, Peggy, that you don't
want to go back to school?" ques-
toned her mother.
Peggy answered: Because the
eacher is going to burn me up in the
furnace"
"What do you mean, Peggy dear?
Tell me-" demanded the puzzled par
ent. And Peggy said:
"Well, she said that after any one
had been absent three days she
would drop them from the register"

MORE WAN ~vELvEr"

Governor Arthur Capper Of Kansas,
in Capper's Weekly.
Closely following the Senate's rev.
elations that the Government is to
paw an inventor IN million dollars
for his gun, and an arms company,
% which he sold the patent right,
another million for the patent, comes
the further disclosure that New
York navigation company received
more than a million dollars "velvet"
for simply turning over its contracts
TO the Government for ships being
built for the company by a shipbuild-
ing concern.
The navigation company was paid
not only a profit of $743,OOO on the
um called for in the contracts, it is
disclosed, but was further handed
$685. 900 as a Commission"
When, as in time of war, the Ma
tion's needs become paramount, it is
it's right and duty to take the prop
ertv of any citizen, returning him its
exact value BY SO doing it is de-
Tending this mans life and property
from utter loss and confiscation.
Should it also pay him million dol
ars to boot for the privilege Of pro-
tecting him?
The Government was honorably
obliged to do no more than reimburse
this navigation company for the pay
ments made on it's contracts. 1t was
not called upon to make it a Christ
mas present of a million dollars.
We cannot conduct peoples war
by conscripting men and not con-
scripting dollars. We cannot con-
duct any war for long by paying mil
lion-dollar premiums to everyone
having something in his possession
which the government Of the United
States needs to conduct the war.
No one should make money out of
this war. 1t should be crime, as it
already is disgrace, for anyone to
enrich himself in this national calam-
ity affecting the fate and future of
the American people.
Already our early investigation of
war preparations has amply justified
itself by these disclosures. Perhaps
they were to be expected where bill
lions are being spent. The Senate in
vestigation committee is. doing the
people and the Nation most patri-
otic service. 1t should not cease its
labors until it has gone to the very
bottom. We have seen the danger.
In future let all war contracts be
made public and every detail be kept
open to public inspection.

A old Timer oo.s.

The Gunnison Empire.
Mrs. A. M. R Crooks received a
letter stating that her cousin, Hiram
Van Tassel of Craig, Moffat county,
Colorado, had died very suddenlv
about two weeks ago, of heart fail
ure.
Mr.. Van Jassel was former res
ident of the Cochetopa country, hav-
ing owned a ranch there in 1880,
where he resided until twelve years
ago when he. moved to Craig.
At the time of his death his
daughter Blanch was the only per-
son with him, as he died within five
minutes after complaining Of being
tired. She called her brother Earl
over the phone but notwithstanding
he only lived short distance away
Mr.. Van Tassel was dead before his
son got to the house. Mrs. Van Tas-
sci was visiting in Illinois and on ac-
count of railroads being blocked was
unable to reach home for the funeral
which took place at Craig.

MEN WANTED FOR RESERVE.
Gunnison, Colo, Feb. 5, 19l

Gunnison, Colo, Feb. 8, 1918.
To the Members of the Gunnison
County Council of Defense:
There are inclosed certain pamph-
let's which deal with the U. S. Public
Service Reserve and the U. S. Ship
yard Volunteers Of the Public Service
Reserve.
The u. S. Public Service Reserve
is at the present time enrolling men
for various wartime industries and
particularly for the building of ships
The government needs men in these
industries and will need them in an
increasing number as the war goes
on. Artisans, mechanics, engineers
and other skilled laborers are needed
above all others, but men able to do
any kind of work will find an oppor-
tunity to serve the Government in
these industries.
The purpose of this enrolment is
to put on record the names and their
capacities for service of those who
express readiness to serve. 1t care
fully indexes men according to their
qualifications, so that they may be To-
Gated at once when men of their abil-
tiles are needed. 1t notifies men
promptly when their country needs
them to undertake employment in
civilian capacity either for the gov
ernment or for employers working on
government war contracts. No OBJ
legation is imposed upon a person
who enrolls to enter such service

little time to telling of the comforts
and discomforts of camp life, as we
have it and see it here in our city of

Our greatest comfort and discom-
fort is water. 1t is comfort in
knowing we have a large supply of
it and a discomfort because we have
only seen the sun six days since Oct
1st. The rest of the time ft has
rained everyday up to last Friday
when it has changed to snow. The
snow was a welcome visitor to the
boys here from California who have
never had the pleasure of seeing it
before. There was lots of battling
done with snow balls, also few
cases for the hospital as conse-
quence.
All the boys have improved rs pei

more erect, are snappier in move.

We have our daily drills to &C

our turn we dig trenches and have
long hikes. We have gotten so USED

more.
We have the healthiest camp in tho
U. S. A., and it is situated in the fiji
forests of Washington, only an hour;
ride from Tacoma, three hours from
Seattle and six hours from Portland
We have holiday from Saturday moor
till Monday morning and it doesn't
take the boys long to be leaving fol-

All the boys, including myself. arc
anxious for the day when we get or.

A bad accident occurred Monday
night at the Horace mine when two
coal miners were caught by a pre-
mature explosion of powder they
were tamping. The men, Tony Teak
and Matt Plut, were injured chiefly
about the face and hands, the former
havepg very serious cuts in both
eyes which may mean the loss of
sight in one or both. The men were
sent to the Salida Red Cross hospital
Tuesday where they will receive
treatment. Mr.. Teak has a wife
and several small children.
