Yesterday morning at about II

in favor Of structures for practical use.
Bridges are suggested in some cities,

q duly inscribed arch at its entrance,

Regarding Alfalfa Weevil Quarantine

Because Of the fact that the alfalfa
weevil has become established in a
few fields in Gunnison County, ship
ments from the county to California
are subject to restrictions imposed by
that state. These restrictions are re-
vised from time to time and are 50
long as to be passed over IL published,
as . whole, in the county papers. It is
Of the utmost Importance that persons
who plan shipping farm produce,
household goods or anything whatever
into California become familiar with
phases Of the quarantine laws, 9TH
erwjse they are almost certain to vio-
late the law and make themselves liza
BILE to heavy penalties and to the prob
ability that their shipment will be
destroyed at its point Of destination
or be sent out Of the state. There are
certain products Of Gunnison County
that will not be permitted to enter
Califonia under any conditions and
others that must be handled In &C
cordance with certain provisions. The
only safe way for shippers to do il tc

Large Circle Of Friends Mourn Death
Of Charley Hazelhsrst, Mrs.. Chas.
Burnett, w. 8. Rainbow, and Others
on Long List.

The whole town of Gunnison was
never more shocked than when the
news came late last week Of the death
of Charlie Hazelhurst at Greeley, on
Thursday night, November %. Being
III but week, all reports Of his con-
dition gave US great hopes for his re-
covery, making the end seem harder.
The body ofthe young manwas shipped
home to Gunnison for burial, the fun
eral being held from the train Sunday
morning, Rev. p. C. Bissell, of the
Episcopal church, officiating. Pail
bearers were: Earl Mullin, Ralph
Stone, George Eastman, Lauren Cur
tbs, Arthur Hards, and Lloyd Ruck.
Music was furnished, according to the
expressed wishes of the deceased, by
the Misses Elizabeth Nourse and Eel
ma Mckee. Many beautiful floral Of
ferings gave mute tribute to the
young lad from his numerous friends
here and in Greeley.
Charles Lewis Hazelhurst was q
Gunnison County boy, born in Crested
Butte Jan. 2, 1900; therefore he would
have been nineteen years old within a
few weeks. He was the oldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Hazelhurst Of
this city, and is survived by his pa
rents and one brother, Gerald.
Charlie was q bright, likeable boy
who made many friends wherever he
went, nor will he soon be forgotten by
those who knew him. The whole COM
munity feels its loss, and extends
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
relative9.

MRS. CHAS. BURNETT DIES
AT FRUITA OF EPIDEMIC

It was q cause Of much grief to
friends Of Mrs. Chas. Burnett to lesrn
this week that she had succumbed to
the Flu in Fruita last Thurpday, Nov.
%, ct the age Of "a years. Mr.. and
Mrs. Burnett had been visiting In Salt
Lake City recently, then went to
Fruita to visit Mr.. Mastin, the uncle
of Mrs. Burnett, As Mr.. Burnett writes
TO get away from the Flu" It in
thot that she contracted the disease
while in the City Of the Saints, and
that It developed only after her ar
rival in the Colorado town. Mrs. Bur
nett was rushed to the Fruita hospi-
tai, but all that medical aid and low
ing hands could do was Of no avail.
The funeral took place in Fruita last
Tuesday.
Mrs. Burnett's girlhood home was
in Kansas. About six years ago she
came to our city, where she conducted
a dress-making establishment, and
was well liked among the young folks.
Her marriage to Mr.. Burnett occurred
in Gunnison about three years ago,
and they had made their home here
until this last summer when they re-
moved to the State of Washington, but
did not remain there long. Mrs. Bur
nett was q very pleasant and friendly
lady, and her death was q great blow
to the multitude of friends she had
made, who extend their utmost sym
pathy to the bereaved husband.
Mr.. Burnett was i'll with the Flu
at the same time as was his wife, but
is now about over it. He will probably
return to Gunnison in the near future.

HOW ABOUT The BROAD GAGE,

Montrose Enterprise:
Our friend, Carbalosa, hands US
an article in which he refers to the
broad gaging Of the railroad from
Montrose to Salida as the greatest
need Of Montrose and the Uncom-
pahgre valley at this time.
Most Of us have long since realized
that Nontrose and the Uncompahgre
valley could not expect to realize IN
expansion to its fullest capacity until
we have secured better railroad faci-
lities, and that the broad Gaging Of
the Narshall Pass route would be the
most feasible means for fncreaSing
those transportation facilities.
Just what, II anything we could do
at this time toward bringing to pass
the broadgaging Of Aarshall Pass d
about it is that the railroad officials

ing the pass i've or six years ago.

had for less than seven per cent. It
was considered at the time that they
could not afford to make the improve
ment ON the basis Of seven per cent
money-especially in view Of the
other financial difficulties Of the road.
Then came the war when everything
which did not just have to be done
was laid on the shelf. The govern
ment took charge of the railroads and
had its hands SO full in readjusting
the transportation system of the coun-
try to the winning of the war stand
point that it had no time to give to
matters like that.
Now that the war is over, it looks
as though attention could be given
to the Improvement and expansion Of
the railroad system Of the country.
However, it is possible that the ques-
ton as to whether the government is
to continue to run the railroads, or
whether they win be returned to the
former owners, will have to be settled
before improvements and extensions
Fof this kind viii be given considsra-
|don.
Notwithstanding, II would be well
