The New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad announce that the war revenue tax, which has been col lected on communication and trip tickets (when issued for 30 miles or Inore), or where the regular rate for transportation Ia 43 eanta or more. will not be collected on tickets sold on and after January l. 1922. This includes excess baggage. express, milk or Pullman and stateroom tickets.
 The elimination of the war tax reduces the cost of transportation practically 8 per cent. on all tickets and other passenger features where thet aX has heretofore been assessed
 No tax wdll be collected on tickets that are sold in December for use on or after January 1, 1929.
 Communication, scrip or trip tickets, not wholly used prior to January 1, are subject to a refund by the Inter- nal Revenue Department of 8 per cent. of the value of the unused DOT lions. It will be necessary for the passenger to obtain from the agent at point where ticket was purchased q form of certificate which will give the character of information required by the Internal Revenue Department, The law provides that refund of the war tax can only be made through the Internal Revenue Department, Where tax has been included in the cost of transportation, the company will, therefore, furnish passenger a certificate, as above mentioned, show ing the amount of tax collected on the unused portion,

Dead Animals Victims Of
 Automobiles

One hundred and fourteen dead sats and % dead dogs were picked ,rp by the Sanitary division of the Health Department during the las wear. Pra ctica5Iy all of these ami 'mals were the victims of motor ve- hie1es.
 The Sn;tary Division is striving now to reduce the number 0E gar bage complaints to a miniElum. Be . sides these 13S complaints about dead animals, there have been so far ? other complaints, which is less tlaI, half the number customary under the old method of collecting garbage or this number, 96 had been collected when the emergency truck sen out to- pick them up, arrived. Many tCf the complaints are from places wheIe the garbage has been thrown in with tls ashes with the result that neither the ash collectors nor the garbage collectors will take it up until they have been separated
 Many of the other complaints re ceived during the year were from corner houses where the men work ing ca o9le street expected t1laS those on she other would pick up the col lection.

OVERCOME BY SMOKE IN EARLY
 MORNING FIRE

Damage estimated at approximately 1,560 was created early this morn ing, by a fire at the wholesale grocery firm of Bernstein X Kursman, 80 Union square. A short circuit of electric wires is thought to have started the flames, which, through ex- CelIent work on the part of the Bridgeport Fire Department were confined almost entirely to the third floor of the building. where they started.
 The blaze was first discovered by
 Patrolman Patrick Riley, who heard the crackIe of flames. The policeman turned in an alarm at 12:59 o'clock arrived, the blaze was found to be making headway near the elevator well on the third floor of the build 1ng. The fire worked it's way up through the floor near the wall, and burned a very small portion of the fourth floor near the elevator. This floor is occupied by the Knapp Pa per Box Co.
 Eleven tarpauiins were spread over the stock on the third flood, and these prevented any great amount ot damage by water. About 20 square feet of flooring was burned away or | the third floor. Damage to the l building is estimated at about ST0O and stock $500. The blazewas eX- tinguished in about 20 minutes. 1 opening into the room. in which the ] fire was raging, Lieut..

Many Good Jobs To Be Filled In
 Health Bureau

There is great need for trained nurses, physicians and surgeons as- sistants ,in the Public Health Bureau according to an announcement sent to the local post office by the Civil Service Commission and it is impor- tant that these vacancies be filled al. once because the rehabilitation work now being carried on among the eN- service men is being retarded.

The work carried on by the health bureau is noble one and there should be no lack of appiiants. The work consists of the rehabilita- ton of men suffering from disability incurred in the world war.

EXPECTED VISITOR TO CRESTED
BUTTE THOUGHT TO HAVE
NET WITH FOUL PLAY

The Denver dailies have been de-
voting considerable space Of late to
the mysterious case Of the young
lady, who some weeks ago walked In
to the Denver police station and then
without any apparent cause tainted
Since that time her mind appears to
be clouded and seemingly she is unable
to remember who she is or where her
home or relatives are and all efforts
of the Denver medical authorities to
relieve the strange illness have so
far failed. The young lady to all
appearance, is we'll educated and
attractive ami the wide publicity
given the case has led many who
have missing relations or friends to
appeal to the Denver police in the
belief that the mystery girl' may
be the one sought, only to be disap-
pointed. 1t was not until Thursday
of this week that any definite clew as
to who the girl is was obtained, when
Mrs. Lulu Hester of Rosston, Texas,
identified the strange young woman as
disappeared on July 9Th.
AHons TIC many WIN nave Httue
inquiries is Jacob Starr Of Crested
Butte. 1t seems that Mr.. Starr was
expecting friend, Mrs. Laura
Mayne, who started June 20 from
New York City, expecting to ar
rive here in a few days. Mr.. Starr
heard nothing further, until early
this week when he received sheets Of
letter, evidently hastily scribbled
and postmarked Milton, Oregon,
stating that Mrs. Mayne had been
drugged and Kidnapped by u man
and woman who had her somewhere
in the West, she thot Oregon. This
letter was dated July 7th. It ap-
pealed for help and Mr.. Starr is
frantic in the belief that his friend
has been cruelty dealt with. He has
not sufficient funds to make an ex-
tended trip west, but appealed to
Attorney George Hetherington Of

Mr.. Hetherington phoned the Denver
Post, thinking this mystery girl
might be the one, as their descrip-

BOULEVARD TO Be CONSTRUCTED
ON THE RAINBOW ROUTE FROM
GUNM|sON TO MONTR0sE

A boulevard from Gunnison to
Montrose over the Rainbow Route is
the next big road job in Western
Colorado, according to various road
experts who have been investigating
the situation and confering with the
state highway commission authorities
who have the improvements in hand.
In Montrose county a gang Of IS
convicts from the state penitentoary
with the most modern road equipment
are remaking the grade over Cerro
hill and around Cedar creek. The
whole will be gravelled to Montrose.
In Gunnison county a section of
81 miles near Sapinero is the first
TO be fully surfaced this fall, but il is
the plan to- regrade and gravel the
entire distance from Gunnison west
to Blue mesa and across the mesa to
the Montrose county line. The Sap
inero section is just preliminary
step.
Many inquiries have been made as
to why the rock work west from Sap
inero was not first rebuilt, but we
understand this has been due to a
conflict between state and government
surveys. Government surveys have
insisted on eliminating the switchback
at the Peterson ranch, and continuing
up the rim of the Black Canon, max
ing wide, even grade to the eros
sing of Pine creek. This has won out
and If construction does not begin
this fall, it will early in the spring.
With Monarch pass now q boule-
ward and Cochetopa pass an alter
nate route for early spring and late
fall travel, the Rainbow Route thru
Gunnison is to be the finest state road
in Colorado.
Tom lyman, warden of the state
penitentiary, was at Montrose Tues
day and Wednesday to look over the
convict camp work and plan further.
Major Blauvlt, state highway en-
gineer. was also present to confer
with officials. The Montrose Press
says regarding the improvements
planned for the Rainbow Route:
"Major Blauvelt, since his apoint-
ment has manifested q great interest
in the convict work on state roads with
the result that Montrose county is to
the result that ontrose county is to
get the benefit of his desire to CO.
operate.
Major Blauvelt is very enthusiastic
in this matter and will do everything
in his power to carry on the work with
the cooperation Of the state peni-
tentiary.
The forces will be added to and the
conference held Wednesday will de-
eide upon the matter Of further equip
ment, machinery, etc, that can be used
expeditiously in order to hasten the
work.
1t is the plan to increase the force
and equipment and continue the work
