dier General William L. Marshall, re-
tired discoverer of Marshall Pass
across the Rocky Mountains, and con-
stIuctor of the Ambrose Channel in

Marshall Pass and his name was also
given Marshall Basin, near Telluride.

on government business inspecting
the reclamation projects. General
Marshall was born in 1848 in Mason

BOND VOTE
UNANIMOUS

When the county high school eIee--
tion was held in Nay, the weather
prevented any notice Of the HiRk
School bond matter reaching Marble,
in that far-away portion Of the coup-
~. This might have invalidated the
bonds then voted by an overwhelmine
majority.
After some consultation among
county officials il was decided that
circumstances might arise BY which
the election could not be called legal,
80 the election was held again last
Tuesday, July 6. The small towns
in the county have not yet been heard
rom, but the election undoubtedly car
ried and work will continue on the
building. In Gunnison, 249 people
voted in favor of the building and not
one person voted against It. 1t is
certainly some credit to our city that
in a matter Of this kind, these figure.
are the result. There is no need to
comment upon the urgent necessity
Of q high school building for the
county, but now the school board feels
that the community is behind il and
wishes to express its thanks to the
people of Gunnison.

CITY SHOULD DESTROY
COTTON BEARING TREES

A very good suggestion has been
made by one Of our citizens in order
to exterminate the cotton bearing
trees in our city, following the action
Of other towns In this state.
The city council BY resolution de-
nuisance, have an officer take q buck
ct Of paint and brush and spot the
cotton-bearing trees at this time. In
August they could be easily ringed
with an AK, causing quick death be-
fore the sap goes down. Then in the
winter and spring people desiring
the trees for kindling wood would
gladly remove them. at their own ex-
pense for the wood.
Other towns have successfully fol-
lowed this plan and why not Gunni-
SON? The shedding cotton is q
breeder Of hay fever besides . nuis-
ance in otlssr ways.
