nison folks and Kansas friends of the
promoters have been buying large
quantities of the stock and the COM
pany yesterday raised the price fifty
per cent. 400 feet of four inch casing
has been purchased Mt Florence and
was loaded for shipment Tuesday.
As soon as it arrives, the casing will
be put in its place, and oil rising in the
big bore will be pumped out into the
tanks, also ordered. Then the bit will
be sunk thru the first sand now barely
touched, at 1886 foot depth. This de-
termined the company expects to pump
steadily and find out the actual produc-
tion of the first we'll. Meanwhile q
cheap drilling rig is being secured
which will be put down a six inch hole
to the sand in week. This will be
used to prove the oil sand at num-
ber of points in the neighborhood of
the first well, which is II miles north
of this city. Following that the big
derrick will send the drill down to the
SECOND sand, which Geologist Swartz
believes is located between 14OO and
100 feet from the surface.
The first analysis of the oil secured
from Colorado Springs, is quite in
definite, and number of others are
being secured. This assay sheet
seems to indicate 12 per cent gasoline,
10 per cent kerosene and Is per cent
gas oil, what ever that may mean to
the initiated. The United Oil
expert is reported to have pronounced
it is ahigh grade of lubricatiug oil
In q few weeks, IL not days, This
field will be proven and if the opinion
of experts who have seen the layout is
worth anything, the whole Ohio creek
valley will shortly be dotted with oil
derricks.

Gross Currents" would be a good
title for the democratic county conven-
tion of Tuesday, because of the numer-
Gus conflicting elements and personal
prejudices and their shifting combin-
ations.
The delegates were prompt in gath
ering, and il was early seen that very
nearly a full convention would be on
deck. As matter of fact there were
40 votes on nearly all questions and
the court room was filled with interest
ed onlookers. The convention was
called to order by County Chairman
Hetherington. The two fightin'ist fac
tions in the convention were the forces
Of d. W. Davis for commissioner
against DIR. Sullivan. Yet both these
factions got together on Hetherington
as temporary chairman giving him 80
to for Judge C. H. Stone, the con-
vention evidently preferring an out
slider to . regularly elected delegate as
its presiding officer. NJ. j. Schmitz was
unopposed for his place as secretary.
AS committee on credentials, the
chair appointed c. H. Stone of Gun
nison, W. II. Whalen of Crested Butte,
and W. II. Tanney of Somerset. A.
Bashaw of Pitkin, Arthur Prosser of
Doyle and w. S. Ditto of Gunnison
became committee on permanent or
ganization; DIR. Hanson of Gunnison,
J. J. Walsh of Marble and John Chance
of Sapinero, the committee on resolu-
.tions. A. X. Stevens, of lola, A. G.
Delo of Gunnison and H. c. Lucas Of
Ohio City were appointed to select
delegates to the various state and dis
trict conventions.
The assembly then recessed till 80
at which time the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent and resolu-
tions were adopted as follows:

musical prelude followed by an educa-
tional lecture by George l.. Barker.
Mr.. Barker's topic was "Life's Oppor-
tunities."
On Saturday afternoon Uncle Sans
Nieces gave good program and the
same company gave fine musical
program that night after which the
evening closed with remarkably in
spirational lecture by Samuel Justin
Sparks president Of Mitchell College.
Due to the delay of the train Sunday
evening the Kenilworth Players were
unable to get here and the numbers to
which everyone had look forward to
with much anticipation had to be
omitted. Uncle Sans Nieces gave a
free program at the church Sunday
evening and Mr.. Sparks lectured again.
The Sunflower entertainers Monday
were very good. An especially pleas
ing part of this program was the re-
, markable talent which one of these
young ladies displayed on her violin.
The lecturer with the Sunfower COM
pany was Edgar S. Kindley who gave
two fine talks which were enjoyed by
the young as well as the older folks.
His lecture entitled "The Good Bad
Boy" was especially appreciated.
The Chautauqua was closed with
two entertainments consisting of real
hOnest-to- goodness jazz music. This
company consists of J. A. Rickett,
who plays the drum and sings very
well; his son Kenneth, fine on the sax
aphone, clarinet and accordian; Glen
Meneley who has an exceptionally fine
baritone voice and plays the piano, Hal
Smith who is very good on the saxa-
phone and clarinet and also sings.
One of the best numbers was the rem
dering Of the "Holy City" sung by
Mr.. Meneley who played his own ac-
compartment on the piano with the
obligato given on the clarinet and sax
aphones.
The program was varied enough to
suit everyone so that each person
found something on the program that
he enjoyed. The company will probab-
ly play in Gmnison next year and
everyone is loud in praise of every
entertainment on the weeks program.
The financial committee reports that
it came out little ahead after all bills

THE GUNN|S0N
CHAUTAUQUA

The Cadmean Chautauqua Com
pany's program held here this week
was a complete success. This is the
first year that Gunnison has attempt
ed having a Chmtauqua, and on ac-
count of Cattlemen's days being just
over, many We're in doubt about the
shows turning out well financially;
but Gunnison folks. appreciate good
music and educational lectures as
much as any ole and full attendance
was had every after noon and evening.
The entertainment were held in large
tent and comfortable seats were pro-
.ided. The program opened with, a
fine entertainment by the Kellam
Company. Thomas j. Kellam, pianist,
song writer and baritone singer; and
Miss Leila Lowery who is gifted with
very sweet and pleasing soprano
voice. The selections chosen by Miss
Lowery were especially good, all the
very highest class of music. In the
evening, the Kellam company gave the

BETTER STOCK TRANS
PORTATION TO DENVER

NJ. o. hampton, assistant general
freight agent of the Rio Grande met
with our local stockmen Tuesday after
noon, taking up many problems of
the transportation question. Amonp
other things Mr.. hampton suggested
that in any 25 car shipment Of stock
this fall he could guarantee 36 hour
run to Denver. Arrangements would
be made to rush such shipments thru.
Also, small shipments of two or three
cars, If sent out Mondays or Fridays,
would connect up with thru trains on
the broad gage at Salida and go thru,
by not feeding on the road.

fighting for honest Americanism and
true democracy all the time.
Mr.. Rawalt Immediately took the
floor and with great energy defended
his position. Said, he meant il when
he said he would no longer vote a
party ticket unless il pleased him and
asserted that his doctrine was good
citizenship. He explained that the in
tention of the League was to put the
best men on all the tickets and then
elect them by bolting on all they didn't
like. To the charge of n class move
ment he said, II do represent a class"
and then accused Judge Stone of rep
resenting the vicious, moneyed, prof.
.teering. labor-grinding, farner-ex-
plotting class, and asked which was the
worst
He denied that he was sent to Gun
nison county by the non-partisan lea
que, but said nothing about whether
he had been paid by that organization
for the services of himself or his pa
per at any time. Rawalt declared
he came back to Gunnison because of
an Infamous slander" published
about him, tho he failed to furnish
the details OF this terrible SANDER al
legged. He then explained two planks
CT the non-partisan program asked
If they were wrong. He spoke of the
recent election results in North
Dakota, the hotbed of non-parti-
san league activity and explained the
majorities of the Townley regime
which were recently reduced according
to figures read, from 1900 to 5000.
In this connection, perhaps inad-
yertantly he stated that the demo-
cratic party Of that state had all but
disappeared, and would be obliged to
file its presidential ticket by petition.
Mr.. Rawait closed by an eloquent
peroration against the un-Godly prof.
teers and capitalists, the oppressors
of the downtrodden farmers and labor
ing men.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot on II names presented as del
egates to the state and district con-
ventions to be held in Denver the goth.
Each delegate wrote the names of
IL. which he selected from list writ
ten on the blackboard. The following
names were chosen:
Pat Hanlon, A. G. Delo. Geo. Heth-
erington, c. T. Rawalt, II. F. Lake Jr.,
Madaline Mahoney, C. w. Balm, C. C.
McWilliams, A. X. Stevens, F. P. Han
son, Geo. Sullivan and L. H. Easterly.
Judge McDougal and A. X. Stevens
were named as delegates to the ju-
dicial convention to be held at Mont
rose on the 7th of August, with in
structions to cast to cast the entire IL
ballots allotted to this count.
The usual motion instructing dele
gates to cast the entire vote Of the del
egation in case of absentees was made,
but no unit rule was adopted.

 Shipping to be in full usefulness to our people must face no risk of the checking of industrial activity and the excess profit tax menaces our manufac- turing interests.
 We must realize that, if we are to be ship-owning nation, we must be a shipbuilding nation. So the immigration problem must ba mediator arriving must represent the elements of useful citizenship and must be so regulated that distribution of needed factors will be secured and congestion avoided.
 We must cease being so niggardly that an American consular agent of for eign allegiance can send to his own gov ernment trade secrets, costs, consumers and business opportunities obtained from the papers used by Americans.
 There is a national desire for an American merchant marine, as it would benefit every calling, profession and trade in every section of our country. We have ships, we have competent ship builders and able ship managers; we have traders. artisans and farmers; we have the money.

Famous Shipbuilder Says Americans Ships Will Pay Under Intelligent

New York, March 2O.-(speciai.)- '-There is way that the merchant marine of the United States can be made a permanent paying success, and that without any subsidies or gov ernment operation. It is merely neces- sary to turn over the vast fleet of American merchantmen, acquired dur ing and since the war. to, pRsvate oper- ators and secure for these vessels a gainful trade These regulations for such profitable trade under the American flag are amply provided for in the constitution.
 Foreign governments for years have systematically opposed American trade expansion on the oceans, dating back from the war of 1872, when the price of peace virtually was the abro- gation by the United States of its direct trades restrictions on foreign vessels plying to American ports"
 So declared Lewis Nixon, who for thirty-five years has been one of the greatest and most persistent advocates of an American merchant marine, in an interview for the Evening Telegram made public today, on the present status and the future of the country part in sea trade.
 "Do not let us start out with the mistaken idea that a merchant marine cannot pay in competition with the sea carriers of other nations" said MT Nixon. "But let us also not lose sight of the fact that to be of genuine use-

From Haiti To-Day" by Horace D.
 Ashton, in the Scribner.
 Lying between Cuba and Porto Rico directly in the path of steamers plying between New York and the Canal Zone, Haiti it at our very doors; so close, in fact, that in March, 1919, three sea planes a1ighted in the harbor of Port au Prince, having left Charleston, S. C., the same day. A Moderately fast steamer can make the run between New York and Port au Prince in less than four days.
 Although for a hundred years The country torn by civil strife and bloody revolution, has gradually crumbled to financial ruin, it was former known as one of the richest colonial possess K sions on the globe.
 To quote from the report of an expert recently sent there to look into it's agricultural and industrial possibilities:
 "A conservative estimate of the total value, at the present market prices, of the products of Haiti in the year of 1791 would be not less than $30, GOO, 900, as compared with s12,000, 900. the value of the exports of Haiti for the fiscal year 1913-14"
 While in 1914 there were only three or four plantations in Haiti worthy of the name, employing only handful of negroes under any semblance of intei- gent supervision, the exports of the french colony in the year 1791 were produced from over 1000 plantations under sceintific management, and over

Laughing With Bairnsfather

Montrose J. Mosos, in Leslte'S
 How would you like to be the man who. during the great war, did more than any other to tonic up an entire army? You may talk about war deco- rations for bravery, but there clings to Captain Bruce Bairnsfather a phrase which is more coveted than any medal he might have-a phrase bestowed upon him by civilian and soldier alike-"One touch of Bairnsfather made the whole front laugh" It islnot an easy matter to see the humorous side of a Jack Johnson; it's not an ideal way to sketch in the light of exploding star shells; it's difficult to put warmth to one's humor with one's feet for hours in oozing mud. In other words, there are better 'oles for studios than trenches Yet, under every imaginable condition of danger, Captain Bairnsfather, reach ing the Front, to stir the tagging spirit of the Tommies with his pencil.
 From what I hear, Bairnsfathers may pathy for people and his interest in human nature are almost entirely pledged to the ''underdog," so to speak Bairnsfather gives us the average type found at home or in the trenches; he pictures the mental decorations of the poor soldier-d devils who found them selves suddenly in new surroundings of ullCOIliHOH uduBCI IIC l1fCQ bAlC @iiC with them, and officer though he was, his sympathy was with them, rather than with the man higher up.
 Now there were some serious minded dull-humored members of the British War office who thought that perhaps Bairnsfathers pictures were too full of levity; they hinted that a wrong inn precision might be created in the other Allied armies that the Tommie was not taking his work seriously. So they wrote to the London weekly to which the artist one day sent his first draw ing. But on top of this official doubt came request from the French that they be allowed, from time, to time to reproduce Bairnsfather picture in some of their official communiques Which pointed to the undoubted fact that Bairnsfather's laughter tonic was as valuable as bullets.

Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone some where is going into drug store to buy it, for Dr~Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is selling st the rate of over 6 million bottles year.
 Its great success is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never with out bottle of Syrup Pepsin, and the formulator of that prescrip- ton is fortunately living to see it's wonderful success.
 Women, children and elderly people are especially benefited by Dr. CaIdwelrs Syrup Pepsin. While it is promptly effective on the most robust constitution and in the most obstinates cases, it is mild and gentle in its action and does not cause gripping and strain. Containing neither opiates nor narcotics, it is safe for the tiniest baby and children like it and take it willingly.
 Every drug store sells Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Keep a bottle in your home. Where many live someone is sure to need it quickly.
