WIN DOUBLE
VICTORY

The High School baseball and tennis
teams went to Salida by automobile
last Friday, returning Sunday. The
tennis games with Salida High School
were played Saturday morning, re-
suiting in victory for the boys from
our side. but defeat for the girls. Neil
son played the first match with Carson
Of Salida, losing il two To one, Everett
Miller played the second mstch and
won easily. In the boys doubles Mil
Ter and Nelson won ON q walk. The
girls team, Misses Margaret and Min
ME Beals. were not SO fortunate, and
lost in both singles and doubles.
Gunnison won the ball game in the
afternoon after one Of the tiRhtcst
high school games the spectators had
ever seen. Salida was reinforced BY
three new men and their pitcher, K.
Smith, was at his very best. He made
10 stnkeouts to Gunnison's Z, but all
the breaks were in favor Of Gunnison,
hence the victory. The teams were
very evenly matched. Gunnison got
two runs in the first inning and re-
tanned the lead thruout the game. In
the last half Of the ninth the score was
80 in favor Of Gunnison, and when
Salida came up to bat a regular story
book situation took place, with Harvey
Nelson as the hero. Salida had two
outs with two strikes, three balls and
three men on bases. On the last ball
pitched, the Salida batter pounded out
. high line drive over second that
would easily have brot in the two men
on second and third. Nelson backed
up and caught the fly barehsnded, re-
firing Salida and winning the game.
O'Neill pitched good game for our
team and received absolutely gilt-edg-
ed support all the way. The game
was notable for the few errors on both
sides. DIR. Shaffer officiated as UNI
pire, showing splendid knowledge Of
the game and an equally remarkable
spirit of fairness and lack Of prejudice.
Salida people gave a reception and
dance in honor Of the Gunnison crowd,
and showed them a royal good time.

FISHING LICENSE NOT PERMIT
TO FISH ON POSTED PROPERTY

A fishing license does not entitle the
holder thereof to fish in streams which
are legally posted. Many ranchers thru
whose places the streams meander
object to persons coming onto the
property to fish, but some Of the fish,
erInen have held that il they STAYED
in the middle Of the stream bed or
within three feet of the bank. they
would not be regarded Is trespassers
by the Law.
Roland G. Paryin, State Game and
Fish Warden, has written regarding
this question Mr.. Parvin states:
"The question raised rs to trespass-
ing is answered in the decision OF the
Colorado supreme'court in the case Of
Hartman vs. Tresixe. Colo. The court
held that going on private. property
in the bed Of the stream or on the
bank constitutes trespass- II goes
even further and states that the fish-
ing rights on the part of the stream on
the property belongs to the proprietor
OF the land. He may exclude the
public ut any time and all times. This
does not give the proprietor, however.
any fishing privileges beyond those
provided by the game and fish laws. "
Another interesting item in the war
den's letter was the statement that
boys under is years Of age need no
license to fish, but that any person,
boy. or man. must have q license to
hunt.

Rarely beautiful colored evening and
night skies Friday and particularly
Saturday night led those who knew to
appreciate and call their friends to
witness the Northern Light display.
II is riot of color so unusual In
these latitudes that many either did
not appreciate or missed the Aurora
Borealis. Hundreds here did note the
lights, which were especially pretty
Saturday night. The whole north
west was full Of roseate glow, which
reflected on the clouds around the
horizon. London reports that thru
out Northern Europe q great magnet
ic storm paralyzed electrical wires
and apparatus. The daily papers are
full of accounts Of the electrical dis
turbance, which is attributed to sun
spots, and seems to have been so in
tense thruout the country as to inter-
fere seriously with telegraph and tel
ephone circuits.
The next big natural phenomena is
a collision with the tail of comet in
June. Astronomers assert we may
look for showers Of shooting stars.

AN HONEST MAN

There once lived in the world an
honest man. He paid his debts and
refrained from stealing, as do other
decent men; but he was honest IN
other particulars also.
When he sat among men who dis
cussed automobiles and heard their
heated declarations that this or that
car is the best on earth for the money,
and listened to each individuals boast
concerning the hill-climbing ability
and the little gasoline consumption
of his own car, he held his peace and
said no word at all until called upon
for his opinion, and then he said: i
am not competent to discuss cars
with you. 1t is clear that you gentle
men are thoroughly familiar with
the mechanism and performance OF
all cars, while my experience is

which l must change gears, and

! So when urged to express an opln-
ion concerning tariff legislation OF
international affairs, he said: "

headlines. | have not studied the sub
iect, and my opinion is therefore
worthless"
He did not fill his shelves with un
read books, and when he read bool
y that seemed worthless he said a
much, though all the world applaude'
