The United States government
that is the administration at Wash.
ington- APPARENTLY has plenty of mon.
ey for everybody except its soldiers
and its wounded soldiers, at that.
In the past few days in Denver the
government has appealed for more
stenographers to go to Washington
Reports have been read here, COM

health service, who spent government
money looking for "vice in Denver u
They had good time.
"Vice crusaders" say that another
government agent" is to come here
BUT-For three months the gov
ernment has owed the city of Denver
bill of more than $500 for treat
ment given soldiers at the county
hospital. These men are not resi-
dents of Denver and were taken into
the hospital at the request of the
health bureau.
The situation has become SO acute
in Denver that every hospital in the
city will issue orders accepting no
more soldiers unless some other agen-
cy besides the public health bureau
will be responsible for bills con-
tracted
The bills owed Denver hospitals run
into thousands of dollars for physi-
clans and nurses services, and for

back that says because of incorrect
wording of the bill, the account will
not be paid.
Because the letter is printed, Den
yer hospital authorities are OF the
opinion that the health bureau never
pays any legitimate bills on first, sec
ond or even third request.
But when any "vice investigation
is to be done, when wine bills are to
be paid, for hire of women as "evi-
dence" are to be expended, the bureau
seems to have no trouble in paying
cash.
On the face of it the order of Dem
yer hospitals to accept no more SOL
dier patients may seem ,inhuman, but
the government pays big salaries to
"do-nothing" officials, drugs cost
money, physicians and nurses must
live and all are taxed, so, unless the
government pays its debts due every
Denver hospital, the pending order
will be put into effect.-Denver Ex-

Once more our boys proved their
superiority, by taking the Salida High
School team down the line to the
tune of 761a points to 471a points.
Coach Krause is getting pretty we'll
toward the bursting point over his
boys, and well he may be, for the
earnest and hard work he has given
toward bringing the boys to the
front. If he don't come homo from
Montrose with flying colors, it won't
be any fault of his.
A strong wind that swept across
the field at Salida last Saturday, and
the poor condition of the track, kept
the records down below par.

HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
ALMOST UNANIMOUS

The School election in this county
passed off very quietly, only few
votes being cast against the bonds for
the High School. Building. While
there were doubtless many persons
who opposed the bonds, as a rule they
remained away from the polls. The
total vote so far as reported for the
bonds was 419 and against 81.
In this district DIR. Sullivan was
elected President without opposition.
The heaviest vote in years was
polled in the town, largely caused by
the desire to have tho High School
Building completed at once
We feel that the result is step
in the right direction and that Gun
nison will now take its rightful place
among the progressive counties OF
the state in educational matters.
The building program for this sea
son will be most ambitious one and
should reflect additional prosperity
on all lines.

Firemen'. Benefit

On the 18th and 10Th of this month.
at the Unique theatre benefit will
be given for the city firemen, and
should be well attended.
The management of tho theatre has
procured one of the very best pictures
of William Farnum in "The Jungle
Trail" Not because of this great
actors popularity should the house
be filled to capacity both nights, but
for another reason, and that is, the
proceeds are to be used toward pur-
chasing uniforms for the firemen,
which will cost, for the thirty boys,
in the neighborhood of $500. Every
one in the city should help, by pur-
chasing ticket whether they are able
to attend the show or not. Tickets
will be on sale shortly at Soc and 25c.
The boys wish to have the uniforms
by Cattlemen's Day, at which time
all Gunnison will be able to see what
great improvement the new equip
ment has made and see them in action.
All push together, and let's get them
those uniforms.

Our Ind. Boy, Wore Ihere

Thursday morning about 3 o'clock
the town was awakened by the fire
whistle. which was Immediately an
swered by the fire boys making a
dash for their new fire truck, this
being the first real alarm to call
them out. Fire Chief Brewer was
already there ahead of the first one,
had the truck out and on his way to
the fire which proved to be Robt.
Hards, Jr.'s coal shed. The fire had
started in the south side of the shed
from some unknown cause, as Mr..
Hards had not been in the shed since
5 o'clock in the evening. The loss
will amount to very little, except the
shed, which was totally destroyed.
This is the first time tho truck has
really been used and plainly shows
the advantage in having it, as with
out it there is no doubt this fire
would have been very disastrous to
adjoining property, but the quick re-
sponse made and the advantage OF
being able to get there almost i'm
mediately, should easily dispell all
critics who thought the council wrong
in this purchase.

How. This. "PedestrI.n.?.

1t was an inky black night and we
were riding along country road,
when we saw a railroad crossing
ahead. We stopped about hundred
feet from the tracks and peered
through the brush and trees that lined
the ro1:. There M the track we saw
a light moving toward us. The driv-
er wished to move on, but /, being
very nervous, objected loudly. SO we
waited at least five minutes. The
light kept drawing nearer, but the
driver in disgust insisted upon cross
ing, saying 1t was probably slow
freight. But again 1 shrieked loudly,
for I knew train lights were SO de-
ceiving at night and 1t must be nearly
upon us by now. We continued wait
ing in the darkness for the train to
pass, and as the light drew nearer
we discovered our locomotive to be
nothing more than a man coming
down the track with lantern.-Chl-

The "LIon p'Arras."

A Paris dispatch announces the dis
appearance of one of the last of the
war Irresponsible Lion d'Arras.
These war area sheets, which did so
much to cheer and encourage the in
habitants Of the stricken towns and
countryside, will be looked upon in
the future as one of the most inter-
esting products Of the war years. The
Lion d'Arras appeared in the city at a
time when the enemy was within a
few hundred yards from the walls.
The founder of the paper was the
Able Guerrin, who continued its ed
itor during the ITO weeks of Its ex-
istence. t
