The funeral of John t. Logic, who
met death in a tractor accident near
lola last week, was held Tuesday after
noon from the Community Church in
John Thomas Logic, only son of
Mary and the late Rev. Thos. Logic,
was born in Toronto, Canada thirty
one years ago. In 1913 he was marri-
ed to Miss Jessie Bowes in Detroit,
Michigan. Four children blessed the
union, three of whom survive, Rather
inc, aged four; June, two; and Charo-
lotte, eight months. His mother, Mrs.
Mary Logic, resides in Denver. Mr..
Logic was a member of the First
Presbyterian church of Boulder. He

Company in Denver, coming to Gunni-
son two years ago to take an interest
in the Gunnison Motor Company, To-
cal Ford Agency.
Immediately upon receipt of news

.ED|TORukE RE TURNS FROM
THREE Weeks VISIT
TO M|CA|GAh

H. +. Lake, Jr., arrived Saturday
morning from three weeks with old
home folks at Howell, Michigan, and
Is again on the job rs managing editor
OF the News-Champion establishment.
Mr.. Lake greatly enjoyed his trip
east, the first for nineteen years, and
took . great deal of interest in q
comparison Of business conditions Of
the East and Of Colorado. He found the
East suffering from the same business
slump that Colorado has experienced,
due to the buyers strike,S the cur
tailed buying power Of the farmers
thru the low prices for produce and
labor troubles due to factory shut
downs. The eastern states have had
4 long period Of prosperity. They have
the major manufacturing capital Of
the United States and there are more
factories and more permanent invest
ments which has enabled them TO with
stand the slump in good shape.
Michigan is the center Of the
automobile industry Of the world. The
automobile factories which shut down
after the holidays are gradually re-
suming their old-time normal activity.
The Ford plant at Detroit il now run
ming with about half its usual force.
Ford predicts that the world Is now
on wheels, and the recent slump will
not permanently affect the growth Of
the industry. A great many concerns
are resuming operations with wage
scale from 10 TO 20 per cent lower
than before the holidays, but not

Mr.. Lake says that the same prob
lem faces the farmer in the east rs in
the west. After paying $500 . day
for labor in planting and harvesting
their crops. the market prices went
to pieces, leaving the farmers, to stand
q tremendous loss or hold their pro-
duce for a rising market. In some in
stances the withholding Of the pro-
duce from market has built UP the
price, as in the case of wheat, but
stock and wool are still at the bottom
Of the chute. The farmers have en-
joyed four or five prosperous years
and the bulk of them have laid aside
something to enable them to sit tight

BASKETBALL TRIP
IS DISASTROUS

To put il rs gently as possible, Gun
nison Highs invasion Of the Western
Slope basketball field last weekend
was entirely barren Of pleasing re-
suits. Out Of three games played.
Gunnison lost three, altho circum-
stances lead to the belief that two Of
the defeats were by inferior teams.
The first game at Montrose Thurs
day night, resulted in final score Of
1920 in favor Of Montross. The game
was played before q record house and
was declared to be the best game Of
the season at Montrose. The first half
was an even battle, with slightly the
edge in Gunnison's favor in possession
Of the ball, but the same old falling
lack of basketball-shooting eye-pre-
vented much Gunnison scoring. The
half ended at 1915 in favor Of Mont
rose. In the second half, Anderson of
Montrose guarded Hall too closely
which was apparent in the final score.
C. Wright played good game, making
two field goals. He hid to retdrn TO
Gunnison Friday on account Of carry
ing a part in 'The Pennant." Gowdy
refereed the game in an entirely i'm
partial and efficient manner.
The team moved on to Hotchl<iss
Friday night, where they encountered
the famous Hotchkiss trick floor, or
more properly, ceiling. The ceiling Of
the room used for the game was just
ten feet from the floor. Regulations
prescribe that the basket shall be ten
feet from the floor, and as a compro-
mise. the basket was nailed on at nine
feet, leaving just one foot from the
ceiling to the rim of the basket. The
Hotchkiss players were accustomed to

LECTURE FOR
ATHLETIC FUND

School athletics never show a profit
of dollars and cents, which is only too
true of our own Gunnison High School
Athletics. To make an effort toward
this years deficit, the
teams have asked DR.. Davies to give
a lecture Saturday night, "Among the
Mormons," the proceeds Of which will
help a great deal toward meeting the
years expenses. This plan gives the
people who wish to show ther appre-
citation of the value of athletics q
chance to get their moneys worth, as
compared with last years subscription
campaign. The lecture is assured to
be good, as Mr.. Davies spent some
years in very close contact with the
Mormons and knows whereof he
speaks. The lecture is to be accom-
panied by q multitude Of good colored
slides. II you can't come, remember
that your fifty cents goes toward one

TOUR INTER
RUPTED BY SHERIFF HANLON

Two men, Jones and Mehaffey. ar
rived in Gunnison Sunday morning at
two o'clock via the celebrated Shank's
Mare route, from Crested Butte. They
were taken in charge later by SheriE
Hanlon when it developed that the
men had left board bill unpaid at
the Elk Mountain House amounting
to Sl05. The sheriff took them back
to the Buttes and made arrangements
for them TO go to work there and pay
the board bill, under penalty of six
months Jail sentence.
The two men walked the entire dis
tance from Crested Butte, clad in
ordinary street clothes and with light
street shoes.

D. &R. 6. PROPOSES NEW LINES
To CONNECT SOMERSET
AND GLEMWOOO

A move to lessen the rail distance
between the Western Slope and Den-
yer is being considered by the Denver
4 Rio Grande, according to announce
ments made last week. Two surveys
have been made with . view to build
ing . road over the mountains from
Somerset to Glenwood Springs, n dis
tance Of IS miles, and q camille stand
ard gauge line from Crested Butte 70
Join the Glenwood Springs branch.
Such q program would open up the
vast bodies Of anthracite in Gunnison
county, which are the only large
bodies Of high grade anthracite in the
United States outside Of Pennsylvania.
This coal is now being worked IN
small quantities Mt Crested Butte, but
due to exorbitant transfer charges. 4
Is not 10 commercially possible to ex.
plot this product. The proposed
branches would result in q coal min
ing boom in northern Gunnison Of
large proportions.
Assistant General Manager VIM. E.
Green Of the Rio Crande, in talking to
Senator Tobin Of Montrose last week,
declared that an examination Of the
practicability Of these two lines had
been made but was unable to state
whether they would be built or when.
In continuation, Mr.. Green said;
Eventually line will have to be
built which will shorten the distance
between Denver and the West Slope.
This line could 60 up Clear Greek,
thru a two-mile tunnel which would
have to be bored under Jones Pass,
and connect with the present line at
Dotsero. Or the Moffat road could be

ut would be the logical and the
proper thing to build this line, II fin
ancial conditions permitted. The ad-
vantage Of the Jones pass route ID
that the tunnel would be much shorter
than the proposed Moffat tunnel"
1t would then be proposed to route
all Western Slope business north thru
Glenwood Springs and Dotsero, then
directly east to Denver, and perhaps
abandon Marshall Pass. Montrose and
Delta people are much enthused over
the prospect.
While this would be an excellent de-
velopment for the north end Of the
county. It would be disastrous for the
other parts and IL closely examined
has absolutely nothing to recommend
It from the standpoint Of the entire
Gunnison valley from Marshall Pass
to Paonia, Grand Junction and south
Il is however, exactly what we might
expect after the people Of southern
and western Colorado turned down thu
opportunity to make the railroads tote
fair by the tri-tunnel bill. As mat.
ter Of fact, q route via the old South
Park TO Denver thru Gunnison Is 10(
MILES SHORTER THAN ANY
OTHER POSSIBLE OUTLET TO
DENVER for the entire western sec
tion. One has only to examine
a correct map to see this, but that
means nothing TO the new owners Of
the Rio Grande, who control the Bur
lington and Moffat roads. They sim
ply used the gullible people of Pueblo
Canon City, Salida and Southern Colo
to defeat a real railroad system in
Colorado.

CHAMBER Or COMMERCE
MAKES RECON- MEnOlTION
ON NEW STATUTES

The directors Of the Chamber Of
Commerce met Wednesday evening
to confer on various proposed changes
Of the statutes now up before the
General Assembly. They considered
Senate Bill $50. to repeal Chapter 90
Of the 1919 Session Laws, regarding
use Of Colorado materials and pro-
ducts. The Chamber recommended
that the statute stand, inasmuch a.
the Act gives q preference to Colorado
materials and products, which the
Chamber felt was no more than right.
In considering the proposed changes
in the Fish and Game Laws, the Cham
Der demurred against certain pro-
visions of H. B. 38l, which provides
for . three year closed season on deer.
The portions of this bill providing for
the state law to conform with the
federal law governing migratory birds,
the raising Of the game wardens' sal
aries and the reduction of the bag
limit are favored by the Chamber OF
Commerce, but they stand opposed to
n closed season on deer and sage
hens. They point out that deer are
very plentiful in this section, the
chief danger being from predatory
animals, on which the Chamber re-
quests tHe estaDilsunnent OI u DOunty.
Coyotes should be covered by n boun-
ty also, as they prey upon the sage
chickens. They recommended that the
sage chicken season be set about ten
days later in this particular section
was made.
In continuation, the recommended
tions Of the Chamber cite tho fact
that although portions of the Western
Slope are well suited for game pre-
serves, none have been located here.
Relative to game birds they recon-
mend a reduction of bag limit, rather
than a closed season.
They favor the reduction of shipping
privileges in the case of trout, recon-
mending five or a seven and O half
pound package, except in the case OF
q big fish weighing over this limit.
Appropriation of a reasonable amount
for fish hatcheries and extension Of
present hatchcries is favored by the
committee, also the establishment Of
nursery ponds, as favored by the pres
ent fish and game commissioner.

PA0MIA GAME

The Paonia game Wednesday night
at the High School gym resulted in q
victory for Gunnison, but at . great
nervous cost. The final score was
1924 in favor Of our team, and il
Paonia's basket-shooting eye hadn't
been as poor as our own, the game
would have been won by Paonia. In
the last half minute Of play, Paonia
had three clean shots at the basket,
one Of which would have won the
game, but they missed them all. The
score was practically even throughout
the game. both teams being tied at
Is at the end Of the first half. The
game was interesting because Of the
closeness of the score, but from q
scientific viewpoint, was more or less
of farce. Charley Wright did some
pretty floor work, and Hall did the
best basket shooting for the Gunni-
son team.
