Crested Butte

You twist around the mountains
Just as far as you can go
Until all you see is scenery
Scenery, slopes, and smoke, and snow.
When you reach the end of railroads
And little farther still,
When there's naught 'twixt you and
Heaven
But smokestack and hill
When you've ridden till you're
train sick
And walked a ways to boot,
And you reach the jumping off place
Then you know it's-Crested Butte.
The country's wild and savage;
So are half the people too,
And the other half are busy;
It's the Lonesome Trail for you.
1t is lively like graveyard
Whence all the ghosts have fled.
Half the jolly folks have left here
And the other half are dead
There are movies" on Sunday
Never more than five years old.
Or you can bust your head a-skating
If you fail to die of cold.
If one tries to make life merry,
If but one joke he cracks,
He will get his pains rewarded
Where the chicken got the axe.
If you're still, they'll say you're
stupid,
If you talk too much, you're mad.
One smile at the savage maidens
And you're bound to get "in bad"
Their fun is reputation wrecking;
It's the only sport they know.
Their choicest food is scandal;
If it's naughty-then it's so.
I'm afraid their hearts are frozen
Like the mud upon their streets,
Like the glances that they give you,
Like your toes between their sheets.
In the week since l have been here
I've forgotten how to laugh.
It's to learn again Pm leaving;
l could never "stand the gap.
In the morning, I'll be going
Down the snowy, corkscrew route. ,
And my wisest act since coming
Is my leaving g-CRESTED BUTTE.

NEW ANAESTHETIc FOUND
IN BOLsHEVIk HOSPITAL
(By Associated Pressl


Paris, Dec. 3.-An anaesthetic with
relatively no danger and pleasant to
take" is said to have been produced
and used in the hospitals of Soviet
Russia. DR.. Marcou, once an inferno
of the Paris hospitals, describes the
process in an article written for LIN
formation. He asserted that he
watched the new method used in Pet
rograd hospitals. He attributes its
experimental use on animals to Pro-
fessor Kravkoff and its application
to operations on persons to Professor
Fedovoff, formerly surgeon to the
Emperor.
DIR. Marcou says the patient awakes
from the sleep produced by it lit
tie heavy in the head but without
nassau or i'll effects.
It is methylproplcarbinol in the
proportion of one to 100 parts of
warm, salty water that does the busi-
ness, he says. This is injected direct
ly into large vein in the elbow and
the hollow tube is left in the vein so
more may be pumped in as needed.
When from 100 to 200 grams of the
liquid have been put in the blood the
patient sleeps but there still remains
reflex action in the eyes, which is
taken as the standard of anaesthet-
ization.
AS more of the sleep-producer is
used, sensitiveness leaves the eyes
and the surgeon operates, testing the
eyes from time to time so as to keep
the blood-system supplied with the
fluid. The patient sleeps several
hours after the completion of the op-
Grafton.
Hundreds of operations says DR..
Marcou, ''were performed in Russia
during my stay. watched some of
them. Not one case of death has yet
been reported"
The anaesthetic is said to be par
ticularly valuable for head and neck
operations where the use of ether or
cloroform mask interferes with the
surgeons work. In such diseases as
make the introduction of salty solu-
tions into the blood undesirable or
dangerous says DIR. Marcou, salt may
be replaced by glucose or bi-carbo-
nate of soda.

Can't Dent 'Em

A bricklayer was laying bricks on
the third story of an unfinished house.
and unfortunately dropped brick on
the head of a colored man who was
mixing mortar down below. The
bricklayer, his heart in his mouth,
leaned over the parapet. He thought
he had killed the poor colored man.
But the latter looked up at him with
a good-natIred and forgiving grin.
"Hey. wat you doin', white man?''
he shouted. "You done made me bite
my tongue"

Last Day of Grace

December 18th is the last day for
the payment of the fourth INSTALL
ment of the income tax and excess
profit taxs due this year. To avoid
penalty, the tax must be in the offices
of Collectors of Internal Revenue or
branch offices by midnight of that
date.
Inquiries reaching the Commits
osioner of Internal Revenue indicate
belief that taxpayers have ten days
grace on this installment. Such a
provision was contained in the 1917
Revenue Act. but was removed by the
Revenue Act of 1918.
Payment of the fourth installment
may be made in cash or by money or
der or check. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue urges that whenever posi-
BILE payment be made by check or
money order This method helps the
taxpayer by saving him trip to the
Collectors office and avoids conges-
tion at the Cashiers window. Check
or money order should be made pay
able to Collector of Internal Reve-
nue."
"Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but
failure to receive bill does not re-
lieve the taxpayer of his obligation
to pay on time"
Respectfully,
MARK A. SKINNER Collector.

and was obliged to respond to en-
core after encore. She is a most

light musicale given by Miss Edwyl
Redding, assisted by Mrs. Ralph B.
Vote, Miss Helen Hatch. Miss Signe
Holsten, Mrs. A. R. McCrimmon and

Meath Elk Mountains lofty SUBMITS,
Lies Village calm and still.
In the summer, lovely streamlets
All around their waters spill.
But in winter, Holy Moses!
You should see her piled up deep,
Snow all over street and sidewalk,
Every where the cold winds sweep.
Drifts are piling deep and deeper,
How we wish for sunshine clear,
But the wintry wind howls louder,
And that's all that we can hear.
All we do is sit and wonder
When the snow plow will get thru,
And we know the damn things busted
But there's nothing else to do.
Twenty feet of snow to wade thru,
Snow shoes neevr graced our feet;
Airships haven't been perfected
And our wings are not complete.
Lord, how will we ever leave here?
Crested Butte may be all right,
But the Landlord says our board bill
Can't be jumped without a fight.
Oh the land where trains are running
Calls to us with might and main,
And we want daily paper,
Gee! we'd like to see that train
Maybe fate will smile upon US,
Send snow pillow pushing through,
And train with news and papers,
Any kind, good Lord, will do.
Then we'll come back here next sum-

When the fishes jump and play.
But from Crested Butte in winter,
Evermore we'll stay away.
