WALKER BURNETT

The Gunnison Empire.
Thursdays train brought the re-
mains of Walker Burnett to Gunnison
for burial. He passed away Monday
night after long and lingering ill
nesn of three years from paralysis.
The body was accompanied by his
wife and Mrs. Hoffsmith, an old time
Gunnison friend of the family.
The Masons met the train and the
body was at once taken to the ceme-
terry for interment, with only the
regular Masonic service at the grave.
Mr.. Burnett was we'll known to all
old time Gunnison citizens, but for
number of years had'made his home
in Denver
The sympathy of large number OF
our people will be with the bereaved
wife and other relatives.
One by one the old timers pass on
to the other side and very soon all
those who helped make Gunnison ia
nous in her early days will be at rest.
A notable number, even if long re-
moved, insist on returning to rest
amid the scenes of their earlier days.

satisfactory scores that they have
concluded to enter team in the Ma

along about February 1st. In 1917

the thirtieth position, but this time
they confidently expect to be we'll

future the club will try and get some
moving pictures of wild game for ex-

CHILD LABOR PRAISED BY sMooT
Utah Senator Halls rs Heaven Sent
The BOdy-Breaking Toll Of Mere
Babes


Defending before the Senate FL
nance Committee the practices of the
Sugar Trust Senator Smoot declared
that the use of child labor in the beet
fields of Colorado is "a Godsend to
the children. as it gives them some
thing to do instead of running the
streets"
The "Godsend to the children" was
detailed more at length by witnesses
who offered the results of an investi-
CATION made by the Children's Bureau
of the United States Department of
Labor of labor conditions in Colora-
dos beet fields Investigators found
employed 661 children under IA. 215
under 10 and some not 8 years of age.
Nearly half of the children were
from one to seven years behind in
schools" said Horatio S. Reubens, who
protested against child labor. "Con-
tinual STOPPING and lifting heavy
weights have caused postural deform-
tiles and malpositions in 20 per cent.
of these children, but the bureaus
examining physicians consider that
their work hours, frequently II hours
a day, had been even more injurious"
Public sentiment, Mr.. Reubens
added, would not tolerate the condi-
tion imposed upon children, and
which were described by Senator
Smoot as Godsend, once the facts
were known.
Witnesses stated that the Sugar
Trust is now making tremendous
profits, and is now before Congress
with a demand for tariff schedules
that will bring many millions into
their treasury.

Northern Co-operators Sell Wheat Dl.
ront fo Eurnnn

L
rect to Europe.
For the first time in the history of
American agriculture, farmers have
sold their wheat crop direct to Eu-
rope without the aid of brokers, com
mission agents, or other middlemen.
Without once losing control, they
have followed their product from the
field to its ultimate destination for
consumption across the sea.
The steamer Texan has left Port
land, Oregon, with 10000 bushels of
wheat for London and Antwerp,
shipped by the Northwest Wheat
Growers, Associated, the farmers CO.
operative marketing agency of the
four northwestern states. While this
is the first cooperative shipment of
wheat to the center of the worlds
grain market, the northwestern farm
ers have already shipped nearly mil
lion bushels of wheat to the Orient
under special contracts. The valuable
connections thus established will en-
able them to save hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for the farmers in
commission agents fees and specula-
tive profits, and at the same time re-
duce the cost of wheat flour to the
consumer by eliminating the specula-
tive element. A further result of the
shipment is to open the eyes of the
farmers to the costly inefficiency of
our railway system. The freight on
this shipment of wheat to London and
Antwerp was 15c bushel, which is
the same amount charged by the rail-
roads for carrying bushel of wheat
from Eastern Oregon or Washington
to Portland for shipment. Farmers
at more distant points actually have
to pay higher rate to get their
wheat to market in this country than
to send it across to Europe.

Salt in the Ocean

The best-supported theory is
that the ocean has been salt from
the very beginning of time. The
old idea has been that the salt
in the sea was not there origi-
nally, but was brought to it, little
by little, throughout the ages, by
rivers which washed it out of the
land. In the process Of evapora-
ton the moisture was drawn up,
leaving the salt behind and thus
gradually concentrating it in the
ocean. However, the old idea is
discredited by the fact that there
is a great similarity between the
salts found in the ocean and those
present in the gaseous matter
elected from the interior of the
earth during a volcanic eruption,
and the great difference between
the salt of ocean water and that
of inland salt lakes formed by the
evaporation of river water.
