1t is grievous to US TO see turnout the
country the burning of stalls, sedge
grass, and other vegetable matter on
the fields. These things are valuable
as plant food and the burning year after
year has played an important part in
reducing the fertility of the fields of
the country. These things should be
cut up with stalk cutter or disk har-
row and plowed under to decay and
return their plant foed to the soil.

Somerville Methodists are planning
entertainment for next week for the
District Missionary Conference which
will be attended by some 200 delegates
and visitors who will hold sessions here
from Tuesday till Friday. The enter
tainment of this gathering of missionary
women and visitors is quite an under
taking for town of Somerville's size,
but local church workers are going at
the plans in a way that insures taking
care Of the visitors in first class shape.
Somerville is to have a new grocery
store and produce house within the
present month. j. F. Wright of the
fifteenth district has rented the store
on the west side of the square which
was occupied last year by ]. B. Burnett
& Brother, and will open a grocery
house and will give particular attention
to the buying of country produce of
every kind offered, MIR. Wright has
had several years experience with this
line of business in the fifteenth d s
triet and will come to his venture here
with this successful experience behind
him.
We note with much interest in Mem
phis papers that movement is on foot
to detach districts 9, 10, II and IL from
Fayette county and attach them to
Shelby county We hardly take the
matter seriously. because every one
knows that Shelby county would not
care to take on this extra burden of
road building and other improvement
when her treasury is already depleted
and her revenues Insufficient for present
needs. So far as we are concerned, we
would hate very much to see these dis
tricts cut from this county for the pur-
pose of adding to Shelby or for any
other purpose, AMI we hope that the
movement will not assume any serious
proportions.
County Tax Assessor S, P. Crawford
was in town Saturday and when asked
about the new assessment of property
he is to make this year told US he
would get busy with this work at
very early date, Ordinarily he would
place valuations this year only upon
the personal property, leaving last
years valuations on real estate to
stand for the present year. But the
legislature last month passed bill
authorizing a new assessment on real
estate for this year too, and Assessor
Crawford will soon be busy with the
work. AS The Falcon understands the
measure, tho we have not seen COM
plete copy. the the same routine of
statisticians, district committees of
valuation, etc. etc. are to operate in
fixing values this year as did last year,
for which we are deeply sorry. If the
assessor were allowed to 60 ahead and
perform the duties he was elected for,
we believe it would be made a much
better job.

Capt. Jack" prospected in almost
every mining camp in Colorado of
any note. 1t was during the early
boom days of Gunnison county that
she located the famous Black Queen
mine in the vicinity of Marble, which
she later sold for $4,000. Several
other valuable mining claims were dis
covered by Mrs. Jack in Leadville,
Cripple Creek, Creede and other min

A book dealing with the early days

After leaving Gunnison county,

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ELLEN
JACK OCCURS LAST WEEK

Announcement of the death of Mrs.
Ellen E. Jack, better known through
out Colorado as Capt. Jack" were re-
ceived in Gunnison this week. Capt
Jack" died at her mountain home near
Colorado Springs last week at the
age of 70. Her death brings to q close
o life that was full of adventure, hard
ship and courage. The history of this
remarkable woman reads like page
from some thrilling romance, and all
the more interesting because it was
true-a story of early pioneer days
In Gunnison county.
Mrs. Jack, who, according to the oft
told story, was related to Cen
army leader, was born in Nottingham,
England ON November 3, 1842 and
came to this country as girl. In
doubtedly she came Of q good family
and received good education. In

one Of whom Is supposed to be living.
Her husband died in "a. Shortly after

And face it she did, coming out West
in the early '70's when the Red Man
held sway, taking her share Of the
hardships and toll Of the early pio-
neers. Mrs. Jack, on her arrival in
western Colorado, adopted the nick
name Of captain" the rank held by
her husband in the army. Her little
daughter was left with wealthy
friends in Brooklyn and It was thirty
years before mother and daughter met
again. Even though able financially
and urged by relatives, Capt Jack
positively refused to go east to live
when old age began to creep upon her.
Her home was the mountains she
loved and knew 50 wen and her declin-
ing years were spent IN picturesque
cabin in the Pixies Peak region neal
Colorado Springs, where she died.
