MATT DEER|NG
DIES IN DENVER

Gunnison friends Of the family were
genuinely surprised TO learn early in
the week Of the death Of Matthew c.
Deering, which had occurred at Denver
on the 18th.
Thus death has removed another
pioneers of the state, one who was very
closely identified with the early days
Of Gunnison county.
Matthew c. Deering was born in
Kentucky March 20, 1874. In 1S47
he moved with his parents to Davis
Co., No., where they lived on q farm
until 1861. When the Civil WAR
broke out, he joined Co. A LIST Mo.
Volunteers and served through the en-
tire confiict-four years. Following
the war. he was married to Malinda E
Owen, November %, 1867. Four chill
dren were born to the union, all Of
them living and well known former
residents Of Gunnison. They are
Elmer E. and Melvin A., who were
born in Missouri; Mrs. Leona Duncan,
born in Wyoming, and Mrs Laura
VanOrman, who was born at the Los
Pinos Agency, on the Upper Cocheto-
pa. Mrs. Dee,ing died at the ranch
home at DOyieville when the children
were small.
In 1873, Mr.. Deering and his wife
came to Cheyenne, Wyoming, crossing
the plains with q team. They entered
the stock raising business until 1877,
when they moved to the Los Pinos
Agency, and from there they came in
1879 to Gunnison county, taking up .
homestead and residing on il until
1891.
With his four motherless children
he moved to Gunnison SO that they
might have better school advantages.
Matt, as he was familarly known, be-
came interested in the affairs of the
county and in 1891, he was elected
sheriff, serving four years. He also
served as postmaster here from 1898
to 1901. Some twenty years ago, he
moved to Routt County and became
Interested in stock raising, business
he knew well and took keen interest
in.
Matt Deering was q man whom all
respected. once they knew him, and
he had a happy faculty of making
acquaintances easily. His family, like
himself, were active in the upbuilding
Of the community, holding many re-
sponsible positions at different times.
Mel, now conducts the store and post
office at Pariin, the two daughters
reside in Denver and Elmer also re-
sides in Colorado.
Mr.. Deeling's advanced years soon
began to tell on him, and last Decem-
Der he went to Denver, where he re-
mained at the home Of daughter un-
til death claimed him. Burial was
made at Crown Hill cemetery, Denver,
on Saturday, the 18th.
One by one our old-timers and fami-
lar figures drop out, but the memory
Of their deeds and hardships under
gone to make Of the wilderness Of
early days . prosperous land for The
coming generations, will live with us
to the end Of our days. And to those
who are left to mourn the passing Of
their father, we extend sincere sym
pathy.

While in the State Auditors office,
he showed me some figures which he
said had never been compiled before,
making it apparent that the Normal
at Cunnison was the most economical
ly run institution in the state, and
when the new High School building is
completed, will be an institution to
which the whole Western Slope may
point with pride. Below l give the
figures rs ! took them OF his records.

stitutions within the state.

TO BUILD
HATCHERY

Plans are on foot to begin construc-
ton very shortly upon the new State
Fishery which the last legislature
provided for in Representative Thomp-
sons bill. This is to be built at Sil-
yer Springs ranch, just across the
Gunnison river, north.
On Monday. S. E. Land, supt. of the
state hatcheries, together with T. j.
Thompson, H. H. Fogg and George
Hetherington and others, drove out
to the proposed site, and interviewed
w. l.. Curtis, owner of the land. He
expressed great pleasure in donating
an acre of ground to the left of the
road, just before reaching the spring
run, specifying only that the land
abandoned by the state as hatchery.
This acre will give ample room for
the buildings and three retaining
dams, which can be used for keeping
the young trout until they get to be
fingerlings. Water will be piped
from the springs ON the side Of the
road owned by Geo. Anderson, who
has also granted permission for use.
The temperature Of the springs va
ries from 48 to so degrees, which is
ideal for Matching trout eggs.
The full appropriation Of $500 Is
now available and Mr.. Land stated
that he would recommend immediate
construction. The matter will be at
once laid before r. G. Parvin, state
game and fish commissioner, who will
be asked to come over and make final
decision. It is believed that 5000 900
eggs can be hatched and cared for
here twice a wear.

CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
Conditions, Especially in the Holy
Land, Have Been Much Improved
in Recent Years

Whoever has journeyed to Cairo and
from there desires to go on TO Jerusa-
lem may now buy his ticket in the
Cairo railway station and look out of
the windows of the train at the seen
cry of the plain of Sharon as he makes
his trip. The rail connection has been
completed by new line from Judd
to Haifa. passing the ruins of Athlit,
where the Templars long ago had
their last stronghold In Palestine. The
Journey from Egypt to the Holy land
Is greatly simplified one need no
longer land at Jaffa. nor wonder how
much ones plans will be interferet
with by uncertain conditions of wind
and sea. More than that, Jerusalem
is much less dubious place for the
tourist to visit. and Its points of In
terest may be much more conveniently
Inspected than they used TO be. Good
order is maintained. the city is under
British discipline. the chance of fall.
Ing among thieves" more or less an
accepted risk under the Turkish
regime. need hardly be considered.
One may visit the mosque of Omar
without the undesired companionshlp
of Turkish soldier. A good deal of
regret has been heard that .'Europc
would never be the same again" for
tourists to look at. but in some re
spects at least it will be much changed
for the better.
