few years, will this year no doubt be
plentifully supplied with young trout,
according TO George Price, secretary
Of the old Montrose Fish and Game
club, which has been communicating
with State Game Warden Parvin re-
lsting to having the streams stocked
this year.
Big Blue il one Of the most beauti-
full and picturesque creeks in the
mountains Of this stafe, being Is or
20 niles long, and emptying into tie
Gunnison river 1t Currecanti. The
stream runs thru q rough, rugged
country and forms an ideal home for
trout. For ten years no new supplies
have been placed in this stream, ex-
cept small stock each year by the
United States Forest Service, which
has been inadequate to keep up the
fish. Mr.. Price has arranged for the
transportation of the fish from Cim-
arron to the end Of the auto road and
from there by horseback to the upper
parts Of the stream where the Ash
should be placed. Chester Gates, of
Cnnarron, will handle this. Mr.. Price
Is also arranging for g stock to be
ploced in the two Cimarron streams
and in Spring creek. F. J. Squirrel,
Of Spring Greek mesa, will handle the

mill md quarfied marble at the mill

centage Of the taxes due. They Of
fered $2720 in lieu of $3.50 taxes due
onthe railroad, or about 80 per cent.
This stored marble is considered
quite valuable, and can be held as se-
curity for the back taxes all along

while anxious to see operations start

OF
mrs GETCHELL

Word was received in Gunnisoa on
Thursday Of the death Of Mrs. Jose
phene Getchell, which occurred at her
home in Tidioute, Pennsylvania We'd
nesdny. No details have been learned
as yet, but it is known that she has
not been in very good health the past
year or two.
Mrs. Getchell formerly resided in
Cunnison, when her husband, the late
Marshall P. Getchell was in business
here for some twenty-five years
The residence in West Gunnison, now
owned by Herman EHebrecht, was the
Getchell place Of residence, but after
the death Of Mr.. Getchell, his widow
disposed Of her home and spent most
Of her time with eastern relatives and
travelling. A few years ago she made
IN extended trip around the world.
Almost every sun1ner, ahe spent at
least two months IN our city, looking
after business interests and renewing
acquaintances with former friends.
Nrs. Getchell was . woman Of edu-
cation and refinement, possessing .
charming personality which won for
her friends where ever she went. She
took . keen interest in the affairs Of
every day life and her husband was
often heard to remark that much Of
his success in business was due to
his wifes tact and diplomacy in help
ing him to meet what would have oft
en- been an embarrassing situation.
The death Of her children in infancy
and the loss Of her husband were q
cause of great sorrow to her.
Mrs. Getchell was still young In
years and her death comes rs . great
shock to those who knew her 80 well
and in whose homes she WAS ever Z
welcome guest. Her last visit to oul
city was two years ago, and 1t that
tipie she complained Of not being IN
her usual good health.

,W|LL TAKE 100000 MORE
: FOR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
New Bond Election Set For May 3. High
: Building Costs Knock Out Plans lmper-
= ative Need For New Building

The Gunnison County High School
eommlttee met in session yesterday
and after considerable discussion de-
cided that the only possible way for
Che people Of this county to secure o
modern High School building and
equipment. such as is needed and de-
manded for our boys and girls, is to
noat another hundred thousand dol
lars in high school bonds for the coun-
ty.
Two years ago, in the spring Of
1918, the taxpayers Of the county,
~ q very large majority, voted $780,
$1,000 in bonds for the purpose Of
erecting building. At that time the
required structure could perhaps have
,eeen built for the money, but in 1918
the government requested all building
operations to cease in order that the
entire power Of the nation should be
used to crush the Hun. In 1919, diff
6culties in connection with the title to
the land, and other matters beyond
control prevented the high school
committee from starting until the
season was so far advanced that the
Foundation only could be excavated.
During this time building costs Of
material and labor have so enormously
Increased, that the very best estimate
that can be secured places the cost Of
the structure we should have at $14S,-
10000. This, however, includes con-
Siderable equipment that was not pro-
vided for in the original bond issue.
Now, It is up to the taxpayers Of
Gunnison county to decide this ques-
tion and decide il Immediately. Shall
we 60 ahead, erecting only one story
" high school building, and cover It
with q temporary roof. or shall we
vote additional bonds and put up .
Seal building at greater expense than
anticipated! e.
The eommittee consisting Of
- w. Gray. yerna Waterman,
4. A. Miller, w. L. Curtis,
and Bruce Blackstock, backed
by a petition from rs leading citizens
md taxpayers Of the town, have de-
eided that Gunnison county is big
enough and rich enough financially to
10 this now; that building costs are
not going to drop materially in a num-
ber Of years; and that as the county
has no high school building, and the

NEW DORMlTORY LOCATED.
WORK 10 nEGlN IMMEDIATELY
Large Fsrees Of Men Here 70 Meve
FsSvard Csastruetisn Planned for
1874.

At the meeting Of the trustees Of
the Normal School from which Presi-
dent Quigley returned Sunday from
Denver, it was decided that the girls
d0rmitory would be built on the cam
pus. II will be large enough to accom-
modate 100 girls with girls to room.
A small study room will be built be-
tween every two bedrooms, thus hav-
s.u.h room for every four girls.
The building is to have every modern
convenience, and It will certainly in
crease the attendance at the Normal
College. The scarcity Of houses and
rooms in Gunnison is very marked and
by getting the Normal students prac-
ticaliy all in one place, II will leave
other rooms and houses for outdders.
Work will be begun at once on the
buildings. just as soon n the ground
is sufficiently thawed out work will
be resumed on the new High School
building. II Is the aim Of the board
to have this building partly ready for
use at the beginning Of the fall term
Of school in September.
The dormit0ry IL 70 be built in the
south east corner Of the campus near
est the town and will be an L shaped
building. The old high school build
ing in West Gunnison viii be furnish-
ed with all modern equipment and will
accommodate about forty boys. The
school is anticipating . record At
tendance the next fall term. The
beard has secured one Of the fore
most teachers Of chemistry and phys
les in the United States. DR.. Quig-
ley states that such teacher cannot
be equaled in any high school and
cannot be excclled in, any college. A
new teacher in language will Be en-
ploycd, and Miss Howard, the present
language teacher. will devote her time
to the teaching Of Spaniah only. The
new high school hpilding viii 69Dnube
ly ready for use It the 6eginnlng Of
the next fall term, and altogether we
expect to have one Of the best schools
in the state.
J. A. Wolvin of Denver, who il sup

building the new High School build
ing and the Normal addition, came In
Thursday and expects to start work
Immediately. About twenty Mexicans
will come over from Somerset some
time this week to work here. Large

State Highway Beard viii Aid Rail-

the Big Bend Issue which Will Be
Submitted Next Fall

The State Highway Department will
cooperate with the State Railroad
Commission in its efforts to obtain
the sanction Of the people of the state
for bond issue for the boring Of tun-
nels under James peak and Marshall
and Cumbres passes.
At its next meeting the highway
commission will take up . proposition
,by the terms Of which the commission
will defrAy part Of the expense of
making the necessary surveys and Sc
,1ecting tunnel sites. II has been pro-
posed, and the proposition has met
With favor on the part Of the higA-
way commission, that in turn for de-
Sfr1ying these expenses, the highway
commission be given . voice Ia. tie
tunnel sites and that the tunneIB viii
lbe made available for motor traffic.
Members Of the highway commits
sion regard the right to have voise
IN the selection Of the tunnel portals
OF great value becnnse II the tunnels
are 80 constructed that vehicular traf-
hc may pass thru them. tie location
sof the portals becomes Important
They point out that the roads to ths
portals must be built from the exist
sing main highways, and If the port
ais are located ut almost inaccessible
points, construction Of these new
,Ioads might become too expensive.
1t is also likely that members Of
the highway commission and other
good road enthusiasts will drop the
nagitation for q SIS 900 900 bond issue
for good roads il the tunnels are
made available for auto traffic. Such
W bond issue has been agitated for
some time because it was felt that the
5000 900 bond issue which the state
legislature voted to submit to the
people was too small TO enable the
highway commission to accomplish
.much.
" Aanhers Of the commission are en-
Enthusiastically in favor Of making the
tunnels available for automobiles and
yother vehicles because such use Of the
big bores will greatly shorten the
distances between points east Of the
,continental Divide and points on the
Western Slope. For instance, It ID
