Unprecedented floods continue to
tear down the swollen Gunnison and
its tributaries, the highest water
known on all streams in the history
of the white man. The famous floods
of 1884 came the nearest to this high
mark, but at that time there was little
attempt to confine the stream and
comparatively few ranches or bridges
to be damaged. Now the country is

STOCkMEN HOLD ANNUAL

nation Proposed to Reduce Produc-

in The Prices of Beef.

Louis Rouviere heads the Gunnison
County Stockgrowers' Association for
next year as the newly elected
president. Bruce Blackstock is
secretary Joe Eilebrecht, vice-presi-
dent and w. w. Mckee, treasurer.
These officers were elected at the
annual meeting last Saturday, when
a large number of representative
stockmen gathered to discuss import
ant matters connected with the well
fare of the association. The retiring
officers u. F. Anderson, as president;
W. L. Curtis, secretary, and F. d. Nc
kee, vice-president, were highly
praised for their efficient work, and all
three are kept on the new executive
board, in addition to II. N. DeYarman,
J: r: Spann, Geo. Andrews and
Frank Andrews. The present Gun
nison and Cochetopa Forest Reserve
Boards were continued without change.
The meeting was called to order by
Nr. Anderson at the county court
house at 2:30 p. m. w. S. Whinnery,
a member of the county organization
and also vicc-president Of the state
association was present and spoke in
terestingly on number of topics.
He detailed some of the trouble in
the Colorado Cattlegrowers Associa-
ton resulting from the action of
President Klug of Greeley in using
the associations name to float loan
company which resulted disasterly.
President klug has been asked to re-
sign but refused to do so, alleging
that the loan company, altho unsuc-
cessful, was entirely legitimate. Mr..
Whinnery discussed the packer ques-
ton, appearing to favor the leaving
of matters for time as compromised
between the US. attorney-ge general and
the offending packers, until it be de-
termined how the new scheme works
out. He predicted an 8 cent market
for cattle next fall unless conditions
change, but declared that the Gunni-
son country was in better shape to
weather the storm of changing con-
ditions than any other in the West
There is a great deal of opinion now
in favor of turning over all public
land to the states, but he did not be-
lieve it could be put through Con-
gress. Mr.. Whinnery was a delegate
from Colorado to the recent meeting
of the League of the Southwest at
Los Angeles, and warned US that while
this body had an immense power and
was going to do things, it might Sc
cure laws appropriating our flood
waters in Arizona, Nevada and Cali
fornia, to our great detriment. The
next meeting should be well attended
from Colorado. This aggregation has
all sorts of money and great infiu-
ence.

MEMORIAL
DAY ADDRESS
By Emma Aren't

1t is with reverence that we unite
here today to pay tribute to our heroes,
living and dead, who fought for us,
that we might live better, truer, and
freer lives. AS nation, we have not
been particularly aggrssive-ag-
gressive in the sense that we stood
ready to shed blood at the slightest
provocation. The people have NOT
existed for the state, but the state
has existed for the people. But from.
the very beginning of our existence,
we formulated principles of action.
principles that to us seemed right,
and just, principles for which we have
ever since been proud to live and
willing to die. The history of the
ideals of our country and the attain
ment of those ideals should give us
food for reflection, should make us
mindful of those who made possible
their realization.
The Revolutionary War established
our right to representative govern
ment, q right we have cherished ever
since, Q right that endows men with
sacred responsibilities and brings ont
the best that is in them. This rieht
was attained only thru untold su6er-,
ing, thru the sacrifice Of human lne.
That Is one reason why the Stars ~

TWO R. R.
men DROWNED

A terrible accident occrred last
Sunday night near Dominguez, Colo,
when a d. & r. G. freight train,
bound to Montrose from Grand juno
tion, plunged into the Gunnison river.
Due to the high water, the railroad
track along that way had been very
soft for some time and the trains
proceeded very slowly over the dan
gerous parts, but as they were near
ing Dominguez, without bit of
warning, the engine and two cars
plunged into the river.
The engineer, L. D. Ray, of Grand
Junction, and Fireman Clupe were
drowned. One of the bodies has
ben recovered but no trace Of the other
has been found. This in only one of
the many terrible accidents which
are occurring from. the high water.
The body of Fireman Clupe is still
missing but the body of the ill-fated
engineer is pinned under the engine
with one hand extending above the
raging torrent. A rope has been
fastened to it so that if the flood
sweeps the body loose, it can be recov-
cred.
Lonnie Ray is well known in Gunni-
son railroad circles, having worked on
the Rio Grande out Of here for many
