TROOP No. 81. BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA.

Scouting is worth while. 1t makes
real boys and then turns them into
real men. A good scout makes a good
American. A good American makes
good citizen, and good American
citizens make America the first Ma
ton in the world.
Scouting is good fun, but is a lot
more than that. 1t is the best kind
of preparation for whatever life is
to bring in the days ahead. A good
scout is seldom or never caught un-
prepared and a scout is always ready
to meet the present and the future
with head up, eyes front, and should
ers back.
There is a lot in the United States
than can be seen from street car.
1t is the land, and the boys and men.
girls and women who know the land.
who makes the strength Of this and
any other country. Not the least
valuable thing about scouting is that
it teaches the city boy to know the
country, and the country boy to know
the country better than he otherwise
would.
The forest is not only the mother
of the fountain but the mother of
men as we'll Our ancestors lived in
the forest. He lived upon it. Wood
is still the most useful of all materi-
ais, and will continue to be for many
years after you and | have passed to
our reward.
Scouts render services of great val
ue to their Nation and State by un-
derstanding the forest and taking
part in its protection. 1t is just as
important for people to think rightly
about preventing forest fires as ii is
for them to think rightly about pre-
venting fires in a town or any other
similar calamity. When you help to
make people respect and appreciate
the forest you help in it's protection.

]. J. Miller has this week moved
into his own house on Iowa street and
College Avenue, which for several
months has been undergoing COM
plete changes. The interior Of the
original dwelling has been made over.
two rooms added west, with an enclos-
ed kitchen porch between. also Sleep
ing porch and cellar. Mr.. Miller has
been living in the Zoellner house on
Main street, which was this week oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Glad
stone.
The Cover house. which was pur-
chased this spring by I. J. Thompson,
has been completely made over, with
new siding, floors, interior decoration,
paint and paper. II looks like a new
house, and is new for all practical pur-
poses. Mr.. Thompson intends to
rent this place on South Iowa street.
Last year Andrew Bray built new
home in this part of town, but did
not finish it. He has now added
another room, porches, etc. This is
located across from the Sanford Zcig-
Ter residence.
While Prof Causey's new house,
erected within six weeks is only four
rooms, basement and bath, it is quite
modern and comfortable and makes
a pretty addition to the homes on
north Taylor street. o. r. Clark
finished up the place in record time.
c. w. Winslow and John April have
each built garage in the rear of
their residences of recent date, adding
to comfort and convenieDces of their
places.
Mrs. Clara NJ. Herrick has thoroly
rebuilt her rental property in the
same block as her residence on Colo
RADIO street. A room and bath has
been added, connection made with the
sewer, and water taken into the
house, which is now five rooms and a
bath, making it very desirable as a
rented home.
While the modern six room house
which o. II. Clark. the contractor,
built for himself on North Pine street
was mostly erected in 1920, the finish
ing work was completed early in 1921,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Clark occupied their
new home in February, so that at
least part of it should be credited to

HUNTING RABBITS FROM
AUTOMOBILES AT NIGHT

A news item in a recent issue Of
the Denver Post, relates that six men
were arrested and fined $25 each and
costs for shooting rabbiss at night
in Adams county with the use OF
automobile searchlights.
This practice Of going out n cars
at night and shooting rabbits has not
been confined to Adams county, how
ever, as last winter a number Of Cum
nison people took quite an interest in
this form Of sport" Groups would
start out on a moonlight night with
shotguns and kill large numbers Of
rabbits, which blinded by the auto
headlights had no chance for their
"white alley" The occupants Of the
cars would not even stop to pick up
the rabbits after shooting them, but
leave them lying alongside the road:
It is hard to get the viewpoint Of
such "sportsmen," and the Gunnison
Rifle Club and several Of the many
real sportsmen Of the town have COM
planned of this practice.
A heavy penalty attaches to the
killing Of any kind Of game with the
aid Of searchlight.

6U|[O|NG BOOM IN GUNNISON IS
BIGGEST IN HISTORY; GREAT
INCREASE IN PAST YEAR

1891 construction period.
The purchase by the county Of the
West Town school building for 5000,
is the start toward q modern hospital
for our town and county. No con-
struction work has yet actually be-
gun. but II is q move which means q
great deal in building Gunnison. Be-
fore such hospital is properly equip
ped, it will take at least $4,000 in
additional material and labor.
Another move toward the better
ment of Gunnison is contemplated by
the Masonic lodge of the City, who re-
Gently purchased the Main street cor
ner, once occupied by the Palisades
hotel, which burned down many years
ago, and the basement remains which
are an eyesore and disgrace. Early
in the spring. the Masons will clean
up this spot and prepare for erecting
n fine Masonic temple on the site.
Last winter X. II. Miller purchased
from the Henry +. Lake estate the
residence in West Gunnison, which old
timers remember as belonging to the
Williams family. Besides interior
changes, cellar cemented and general
repairs, he has added kitchen and
bath to the rear, making a very COM
Portable home.
The pretty home of C. l.. Braswell
on this street, but facing Virginia Ave-,
has been completed in 1921. With q
fine lawn, and the decorations of paint
and new fences, it is one of the finest
homes in this part of Gunnison.

GUNNISON HIGH BEATS
EASTERN RECORD BY SCOR-
ING $40 POINTS IN 6 GAMES

Denver POST
Everything is bigger in Colorado
even football scores.
The Post Thursday published q
brief dispatch from Glen Falls. N. Y,
stating that the high school team there
considers il has established q record
by making 200 points ip six games
against opponents without being scor-
ed upon.
This is n good record for Glen
Falls, but the Gunnison High School
team over in Western Colorado can
beat that figure by 20 points
Gunnison has played six games this
season and rolled up $40 points. Their
opponents did not score against them.
This team won the title last season
without losing a game, and has clinch-
ed the flag this year.
A.. c. krause, Gunnison coach, has
developed n great football scoring
machine, and western slope enthusi-
astics would like to see it matched
against the best high school eleven in
Colorado.
II leading teams in Colorado are
seeking a real game. they need look

least to this figure, especially in view
of largely increased assessment values
placed, but the members considered ar
increase necessary. Crested Butte
town levy is l2.5 mills as against l3
last year, and Pitkin is S as against 5
in 1920. Ohio City has none. and
rejuvenated Marble provides a gener-
al fund Of mills and street and al
ley fund of mills. None last year
in Marble.
When 1t comes to school districts,
the variations are considerable and so
confused with the new law forcing a
large general school levy on the coun-
ty that il is difficult to compare. How
ever, in District No. 1, in spite of the
county school levy, the school district
officers jump il from mills to SIS,
giving 2.3 more school money than
last year. an increase of 42 per cent.
Quite jolt.
The county levy complete is 1895
as compared with 81 last year, an
apparent increase Of 2.S5 mills, or 35
per cent. This is distributed as fol-
lows, comparison being made with
1920 levy.

STRIKE IS AGAIN
THREATENED
IN MINES

The state industrial commission
has terminated its jurisdiction over
coal miners and operators which it
had assumed on September LIST, at the
time the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany announced its wage cut of thirty
per cent thruout the state. The COM
mission ordered that the old scale Of
wages prevail until the commission
could more fully investigate condi-
tions.
With the termination of official
jurisdiction comes the announcement
from official sources in the C. F. 4 ].
that wage cut will 60 into eMect
very shortly, possibly on Monday. the
18th. This wage cut will not be as
large as that announced on Septem-
ber /, which was about thirty per
cent.
John McLennan, president OF Dist
net No. is, United Mine Workers,
presided at a meeting November 8 at
Trinidad of all district union officials
for the purpose of drafting a plan Of
action for strike in case the wage
cut is put into effect.
Mr.. McLennan says that any at
tempt to reduce wages on the proper
ties of the Colorado Company Will BE
a direct violation of the award made
nv the bituminous coal commission ap-
pointed by President WILSON.
So the stage is set for q coal strike
next week, one that may be very
serious. The mines have been running
. few days a week, to give the men q
choice of working full time on reduc-
ed pay, or half the time on higher
Wages.
Gunnison news-champion., 1921-11-11
Mills 1920

In analyzing this the taxpayer will
note that the total decrease of levy on
five funds was 2.10 mills, while on six
others it increased sos. or net in
crease as stated above of 2.S5. There
is a slight increase in the ordinary
county revenue, about what might be
expected under the increased cost Of
doing business. The election next
year will require $4,000 more than
expenses this year, and some little
start must be fhade on tie county
hospital. The apparent saving
on road and bridge fund is Offset by
the Outstanding warrants 1921" this
being forced by the extensive road
work undertaken upon promise Of
the state to reimburse the county. So
far, not dollar Of state money has
been received, altho something like
$500 is agreed to and promised.
The bonds are sold. supposedly, but
the money is coming in 50 slowly that
it was thot best to pay up these debts
to the workmen and reduce the levy
available for next year, which it will
be noted has been cut in more than
half. Unforeseen contingencies are
cut out. Interest on county bonds,
high school bonds and county high
school bonds are pared TO the lowest
possible notch, a considerable reduc-
tion in what formerly have been coun-
ty expenses.
Now look at the other side, the in
creases. Here is the general school
levy raised from 6 to "a mills. This
is because q law passed by the last
legislature compelled the county as q
whole to raise enough to pay the
teachers in each district at least $75
month. The district is supposed to
pay the rest, but it makes difference
Of almost 2 mills in the rise of the
county levy. Each district levy should
be lowered to correspond; making no
net increase in taxes. The blind bene-
fit and mothers' compensation are two
new laws, forcing . levy, and the
year has arrived when the law COM
PEELED us to commence to pay the
county bonded indebtedness Of $27O,-
600 refunded five years ago.
As q matter Of fact, then. the sums
for actual county business are little,
if any higher than in 1920, and If we
take out the levy to pay outstanding
warrants, debts which the State High
way Commission authorized and is
supposed eventually to pay, it is ac-
tuaily considerably lower. The increase
comes in new forced levies for general
school. blind benefit, mothers compen-
sation and bond sinking fund.
Anyway we have to pay the taxes,
and the remedy for such new laws, II
we do not like them, is to elect legis-
lature that win practice as well as
preach economy.
