The Forest Service Is interested IN

short new road 10 be constructs
thru Taylor canon proper from the
mouth Of LottIs creek to the park,
about four miles. This is the more
favored, not only because il is the
shortest route, and the only possible
true water grade, but because it is 4
direct road to the proposed Taylor
park reservoir, which the reclamation
bureau has outlined for the Gunnison
tunnel water supply.
Undoubtedly one reason for the ac-
ton Of the Aspen people at this time
Is not only the desire TO open direct
communication with Gunnison, but
because Of the newly revived mining
under way at the Enterprise mine
near Dorchester, the bulk of which
trade has always gone to Aspen.

An organization Of stockmcn here in

the big idea Of transferring the re-

Il Is doubtful, however, whether the
average ~csteDeF has clear in h.s

arid states are heavily loaded with
federal nOn-taN- paying lands. The
problem presented to the Western
states Is making both ends meet By
taxing the lands that are free and un-
der private ownership. Other state,

interests. Each Of the Rocky Mount
ain public land states has voted to re
quest the government TO adopt n sim
liar course with them. The added
inducement of rclinqui shing any fur

eys is made.
Meanwhile, q movement calling for
extension Of forest service control Of
all government lands inevitably puts
il beyond the reach of the states, for
what government bureau once sur
rounds, It never gives up. Under
this plan, grazing fees on the forest
reserves to match commercial pastur-
age rates are possible in another two
years. An increase of fees in one
branch would mean similar increase
in another.
II behooves the West. therefore, to
read well the signs and get together

Now that we have a $4,000 fire

so THE PEOPLE MAY
CONTEMPLATE

So much is being said through the
public press about this and that can
didate for the various State and Ma
tional offices, that it occurred to me
that We might begin to look around
nearer home for fit persons for our
county offices. For be il known that
all our county offices must be filled the
next ensuing election, except one COM
missioner. Now while all our county
offices concern every taxpayer and
property owner, yet the office Of
County Judge appears to be the most
important, when we consider that
about nine-tenths of the court busi-
ness of our people is transacted in
that court; that when we contemplate
it is estimated that on an average
of every thirty years all real estate
passes through the county court in
some method; that titles for ages to
come can be affected by some proceed
ure had in our County Court.
l understand that Judge Stone will
not be a candidate for the Office Of
! County Judge; then who should be
our County Judge? have made
some inquiries among our people here
in town, and so far as my efforts have
gone, it appears ]. NJ. McDougal is
their preference. He has had about
six years experience on the bench,
has been an active practitioner for
forty years among us, has borne .
good reputation as a citizen, and in
all his efforts as lawyer, Judge and
adviser, has urged that only justice
be done. When asked il he would ac-
cept the nomination and the office, he
answers: THAT is Up to our people.
II am nominated and elected, I will
serve them to the best Of my ability"
Now, what do our people say?

WHY THE MARSHALL PASS
TUNNEL Is DESIRABLE

Il is estimated that there 10000
people on the western slope who would
benefit directly or indirectly from the
quicker route between the eastern and
western slopes whose work at present
Is retarded because of poor transporta-
ton. IL is conceded that the western
slope can grow wonderful crops, but
the transportation facilities prevent
this section from getting these to mar
kct under the best circumstances. The
improvements will also mean won
derful increase in the tourist business
for this section.

GUNNlSON is VICTORIOUS
IN DEBATE WITH OURAY

Friday evening, March 5, Gunnison
won the first debate of the year from
ouray. Those coming up from Ouray
High School were Miss Mary Porter,
Miss Fanny Summerville, John Flor,
and Mrs. Steele, the coach. The
question was: Resolved that the Gov
eminent should adopt the Plum plan
as solution to the railroad problem" !"
Although the visitors were very good
debators, they could not equal our
boys in delivery OF argument. This
fact is due to the untiring work of
Miss Schmitt, the public speaking
teacher at the Normal and Miss Lois
Borland of the English department.
The judges were; Professor Kesner,
of Salida, Superintendent Schommer,
of Crested Butte, and Attorney VIM.
Weiser, of Grand Junction. The de-
cision was two votes for the negative
and one for the affirmative.
The Gunnison debators were Law
Hugh Palmer. All three of these
Palmer gave brilliant rebuttal.
During the evening, the girls quar-
tet composed of Miss Vivian Trip,
Miss Ethel Trip, Miss Hatch, and
Mrs. Zelma Andrews, sang. The
orchestra played several selections
which were enjoyed by all.
1t is hoped that Gnnison can have
debates with Montrose and other
towns of the Western Slope during the
year.
At the close of the contest the High
School and Normal students and their
guests adjourned to l. o. o. F. hall
where an hours dancing was enjoyed.
