EPIDEMIC SITUATION IMPROVES
FEW NEW CASES REPORTED

Altho there are q number Of very
sick folks about town and ut county
points the general outlook for the
abatement of the Flu epidemic is
good. Very few new cases are re-
ported this week.
The four trained nurses from Sa-
Ida who have been helning out dur
ing the epidemic are Misses Bunday,
Smith, Berry, and Perry. The latter
has returned to Salida, but the other
three with Mrs. Moffatt are very busy
under the direction Of the Red Cross
committee. Miss Julia Clock has been
released from Red Cross direction as
q nurse.
These Red Cross nurses will be
shifted to any part of the county to
call on the sick, where the situation
becomes serious. Where families are
able to pay the nurse directly they
are asked to do so, but otherwise there
is no charge.
The situation in both Crested Butte
and Pitkin is reported clearing, altho
there is still much sickness, and we
must recollect that it is the relapse
from the disease which is to be fear
ed. Exposure, over-exertiOn, and ov-
creating while the Flu poison still
fingers in the system are liable for
some time to cause a dangerous re-
lapse infinitely worse than the origi-
nal attack, and one Of these three
things has indeed caused nearly ev-
cry death SO far.
In this crisis, the loyalty of the
ranch people to the stricken families
in their different neighborhoods is to
be greatly commended. On Ohio creek
up the Gunnison, at lola, and from
other points come stories Of how the
neighbors have dropped their own
work to help, only in turn to receive
the same assistance.

ROY RUcK

Roy Ruck is dead! The news shock
ed Gunnison Thursday morning. We
could hardly believe that this young
lad of twenty, the picture Of bound
ing health and activity. . favorite
wherever he was known could have
succumbed to the grim destroyer 50
suddenly. IN
Roy had been sick but few lays,
and the influenza seemed to attack
chiefly his heart which has been weak
since babyhood. Wednesday, the doc
|tor gave the family no hope and Roy
<died at $40 that evening.
The funeral services are this after
Enoon at 2:30 from The family
<home. Rev. Ferris will preach, and
<ehe body will be inferred in Masons'
land Odd Fellows cemetery, by the
side of sister who died in infancy.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Ruck is thus made desolate by the
passing of their second son who was
born on the 18th of December in 1897.
Roy was brought up here, attended
our schools, and early took up active
work in the telephone office. Last
summer, when not twenty years Of
ager of the telephone Office at that
point. Last Octocer, he resigned his
place to answer his country's call to
arms, and came up for brief visit
with home folks, barely reaching here
before the armistice was signed. He
then took position in the car shops
rs clerk TO the car foreman of the Rio
Grande, and was making good splen-
didly in this place.
His brother George is in France,
and two younger brothers, Lloyd and
William are at home with the par
ents. We all extend to them our sin
cere sympathy in the loss of this
brave boy.

PAY MORE AND RIDE
LESS IS RAILROAD MOTTO

In its earnest search for more rev.
enue, the United States Railroad ad-
mihistration has just gotten around to
revise passenger rates for the West
ern Slope Of Colorado. The immediate
effect is . sixeable rise in cost Of
travelling. 1t was bad enough before
when . ticket TO Denver cost 1896,
plus the war tax. Now It is $lO.lO
plus 03c war tax or . total Of $1l.23
one way and no round trip reduction.
The reason alleged is the raise to uni
form three cents Q mile from Sslida
east. No raise from here TO. Salida,
or west Of Gunnison.
Now the fare to Pueblo ID slightly
lowered. Very slightly, indeed, the
rate being $3.50 instead Of $685. plus
eight per cent war tax. To Colorado
Springs e II . total Of $3.50. S
However, the narTow gage gets Z
little edge by this change, the fare
from Saiida TO Grand Junction being
$1O.15, plus war tax, via Tennessee
pass and only $S.75 plus war tax by
way Of Aarshall pass.
Now these railroad rates increases
were all right IN war time, when the
government didn't want folks to travel
unnecessarily, and openly said 30, but
what about peace times? The effect
Of excessive fares il always to de-
crease travel and make the gross rev.
enue less than with lower passenger
rates. But who could convince IN

GRIM HAND Of DEATH
CLUTCHES OUR COMMUNITY
RAMONA ourcALr

Ramona Outcalt, eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs.. J. B. Outcalt, died last
Monday night at 1880 Of influenza
This splendid young lady, so strong,
hardy and well-poised, was \ victim
none dreamed that the grim reaper
would garner now. She had been suf-
fering with q light cold for a week,
never thinking II could be the Flu.
Almost over it, by using different
home remedies, some emergency arose
which led to little exposure and be-
fore the doctor could be summoned
she was attacked by double pneumonia
and nothing could save her.
Funeral services are expected to-
morrow afternoon, but as We go to
press the hour is not yet Set Services
will be at the grave with Rev. Ferris
in charge.
Ramona Outcalt was born in Gun
nison at the ranch home Of the Out
calf family on New Years day, 1890.
She grew up and was educated in the
district school, later completing the
high school course in Gunison and
later spending five years in finishing
her education at the University Of
Denver. She then taught four years
first at Castleton. then two terms
near Denver. and last year was prin-
cipal Of schools at Dolores. Accus-
toned all her life to outdoor life
and handling Of stock and ranch work,
she decided to remain at home this
year and take the management Of the
large Outcalt ranches In part from
the shoulder Of her father, whose age
now prevented his former active d.
rection of the ranch.
Ramona was q splendid woman,
finely educated, of unusual talent as
an executive, and with great possi-
bilities opening before her. The shock
is no less TO the community than to the
grief stricken parents and the three
sisters, Fernzelle, Dulce and Veverelle,
left to mourn her untimely passing.
