already given. The figures for the
Gunnison Valley, of course, include
the North Fork branch, , part of
which tonnage undoubtedly would
move over the present standard gage
line east from Grand Junction, even
tho the line between Montrose and Sa-
Ida were standardized. There is no
way of determining just how this
movement would be divided.
Fruits and vegetables originating
on the Denver 4 Rio Grande in the
Gunnison Valley aggregated 5,469
cars IN 1914, and %,633 cars in 1918.
An average of only 10000 pounds per
car would give an aggregate tonnage
OF 69,495 for 1918. On account Of
heavy loading requirements however,
it is likely that the 1918 tonnage ex-
ceeded the foregoing figure.
The coal in the Crested Butte field
aggregated 315,691 tons in 1917 and
3l6, ,311 tons in 1918. How much of
this coal moved to destinations which
required transfer at Salida or at
Montrose would be very difficult to de-
termine. The figures, however, are
valuable in showing the amount of
coal originating in that territory. 1t
iAA6he nc sAadS4 biis4l litC dCllt
coal from Crested Butte field in 1917
amounted to 67,715 tons and in 1918
to 1877 tons. The Somerset mines
on the North Fork branch produced
337 SAP tons in 1917 and 3s3,6S4 tons
in 1918. :
The table referred to in the first
paragraph indicates that owing to in
ferior equipment and lack Of motive
power there were 1015 cars Of apples
ard 205 ears of vegetables, q loss in
tie autumn Of 1917.
All this information is Of course
desirable, but now that congress ad-

down the requirements Of the railroad

The influenza situation remains

Most of the afflicted ones are doing
nicely and we have no deaths to report

One of the unfortunate features of
the disease is that since it takes but
80 to As hours from time of exposure
to develop and from a week to a
month to recover, the first one attack
ed cannot take care of the others, and
so in many homes the entire family is
down at one time. Nurses are scarce
