Repeal of Excess Profits Tax


One of the most urgent reforms in present

The Forest Supervisor At Gunnison
has been authorized to build . trail
that will connect the city Of Gunni-
son with points along the Fossil Ridge
Fairview Peak, and other mountains
north Of Pitkin and Ohio City. The
allotment for this project is 100000.
The western terminus is Beaver creek
and the Lost Canon country, and the
eastern terminus is Fairview Peak,
some seven miles north of Pitkin.
This project is approximately 35
miles in length. It will affird the
closest packing trips to Gunnison and
open to the public one of the most in
teresting regions Of the west, the Fos-
sill Ridge, SO called by its fossil forma-
ton. This region will be more fire.
quently visited by geologists, as well
as those who are seeking some of the
wonders Of the Great Rocky Mountain
system. The trail, when completed,
will be Of material value to the stock
men Of the county, both cattlsmen and
sheepmen, as it will open o direct
route from upper Gold, Boulder, and
point. II will be Of considerable inn
portance to the Forest Service, rs it
will enable the Forest officers to reach
remote parts Of the Pitkin district Of
the Gunnison National Forest direct
from Gunnison and Pitkin that have
been hitherto more or less inaccessible
to travel from these points with pack
outfits. II will afford greater Sc
curity in forest fire prevention and
suppression and greater dispatch in
grazing administration.
While in conference with the Sup
ervisor ut Gunnison, 1t learned that
it is the plan to commence the survey
of this trail within the next Two or
three weeks and that actual construc-
tion work will begin bv June !, and
that the project will be completed
early this summer.
The allotment for this project was
made from the EmeFBenc-- Road and
Trail Appropriation recently passed
by Congress.
Mr.. Kreutzer advises that he is
organizing his trail crew from return
ed soldiers. Therefore, those who
have served Uncle Sam in the war,
will be interested in this work, and
If they desire employment on this pro-
ject, should register their names with
the Forest Supervisors office at Gun
nison, Colorado. The job will pay
about $500 day and board, and al
ready number Of the returned soldi-
ers have signified their intentions OF
considering the matter, among them,
Earl Warburton, Patsy O'Neill, An
drew Zeigler, Corp. Doyle, Chas. Good
man, and VIM. Studhalter.
The nearest point to Gunnison on
this trail will be the forest boundary
near the head of Lost Canon, from
which the old calrie trail leads to
Signal Peak, formerly known as
Stewards Peak, two miles north of
Gunnison. As this is also the east ter
minus of our project "Sky Line drive''
which has already been built half that
distance, and the worst part overcome,
there is reason to hope that the two
can be joined at Signal Peak. Super
| visor kreutzer assures us that il the
amount appropriated will allow, the
trail will be built this way even out
side of the forest boundary.
