COLLECTING
), CATTLE TAXES

Eighty head Of fine steers and COWS
and Is head Of saddle horses, belong
ing to the Bar X outfit on the West
Muddy are to be sold Monday, the
29th, by Sheriff Hanlon for County
Treasurer NJ. B. Herrick, under dis,
traint warrant. This stock belongs to
James +. Hutchinson, large stockman
Of Saiida and Alanosa, who for years
has been running a section Of his big
herds in the Muddy region, wintering
the cattle in Delta and Glenwood For
over five years, Mr.. Hutchinson has
failed to pay his taxes to this county
on these cattle, nearly a thousand head,
and under the statute, Mr.. Herrick is
empowered and directed to issue the
distraint warrant to secure taxes, net
ting some 100000.
All the other stockmen in this sec
tion have paid their taxes and hey feel
aggrieved that this big outfit should
year after year, eat up the range and
ignore demands of the county. Ac-
cordingly Sheriff Hanlon and Mr. Her
rick went over last week, rode up into
the range where these cattle are Tun-
ming, served the warrants on the fore
man of the outfit, and picking out 55
of the finest three to five-year old
Stetis, 81 Hcdu VI COWS anu 10 Ss100l6
horses, took possession in the name Of
the law and placed the stock in charge
of Bill Birtie and Clarence Bellmire.
Next Monday morning at ten o'clock
at the Hutchinson ranches, this stock
will be sold by the sheriff, to cover
taxes, costs and fees. The big steers
ought to bring $50 head, even under
the present depressed market. They
are in fine shape. There are some
dandy saddle horses in the outfit.
Hutchinson is apparently making no
move to fight the case, which is brot
under a well proved statute Of Colo
Mr.. Herrick's action will meet with
the approval Of the other taxpayers Of
the county.
Later-As we go to press notice Of
an injunction suit to be heard at Mont
rose tomorrow, is served, and the
county officials will go down to pres
ent their case.

Judge Shackleford hands US como

RADIO. Montrose is making big out
cry because her rate from Somerset
and Bowie, distance Of 63.77 miles,
is $2.12h, while to Grand Junction, a
distance Of 1886, il is only S1.85
This inequity is being brought to the
attention Of the State Public Utility
Commission, and general revision Of
coal freight rates is likely to be secured
IL pressure enough is brot to bear.
Investigating the rate from Crested
Butte to Gunnison, distance of rs
miles, all down hill, News Champios
finds it to be $2.12a. In other words
we pay the same as Montrose, with
almost three times as long q haul
and more coal freight than Grand Jun.

length Of haul.

There are great many other in

In fact the reduction seems to be to
the unprecedented fiat rate of $1.20

Monarch Pass is the motor gateway

at cost of S204 900 .00'is now the direct
entrance to the most populous and
productive part of the Western Slope

over the pass to and from Salida and
found it exceeded his expectations
which had been aroused to high pitch
by reports of enthusiastic travellers
who called it the finest motor road in
Colorado, If not the best crossing Of
the continental divide in America
Certainly one could not wish for 4
better graded or surfaced road than
the 20 miles from Garfield on the
eastern side to Sargents on the west,
this part being the section on which
state aud government road crews have
been busy for three years. Portions
Of the new highway, where it crossed
the former Monarch pass road, have
been available for use since the sum-
mer Of 1920, but the formal opening
of the road occurred on July 1st Of
this year. Ever since that date fina!

These last touches will be placed by

Motorists from Colorado and many
eastern states are just beginning to

vistas Of scenery and the delightful
outing points made available by the
new road. While the old Monarch
pass road built thru the counties OF
Gunnison, Saguache and Chaffee in
1912 and 1913 was recognized as the
shortest route into the Gunnison coun-

A new mineral strikes on White

pectors are focking in from Aspen

Only meagre reports are available,

Much good ore has been found in this
vicinity before. Louis ldzenton, w.

1t is a very likely mineral country.

sides a car working well can make it
in high, with intermediate gear almost
too fast. Even the flivver owners
make much of it in high. There
are streams a-plenty running along
side the road on both slopes, with
many beautiful camping sites at every
turn. The trunk line of the Mountain
States Telephone company also paral-
lels the road most of the distance
from Salida to Gunnison, making an
additional safeguard against Acci-
dents.
This monarch of all mountain passes

source of pride to the citizens of Colo

highly by the public interested in
boosting the good things Of our
Western Slope.
Government surveyors discovered q

a mile south of the former pass, and
400 feet lower. so that 1000 is very
nearly the exact altitude. Cochetopa
pass, that branch of the Rainbow
Route which circles south thru Sa-
guache, is but 10000 feet high, the
lowest pass in Colorado, and Of course,
highly desirable as an alternative
road and for late fall and early spring
riding when the higher passes are
often banked with snowdrifts, but this
direct road, almost on an air line be-
tween Gunnison and Salida will be
the favorite for the bulk Of tourist
travel which rarely begins before late
June and slows down in September.
The distance, Gunnison to Salida,
seems to be 73 miles as measured By
number Of cars, perhaps "A miles
between railroad stations. This is
very nearly the same distance as west
from Gunnison to Montrose. It has
already been covered in three hours
and twenty minutes, while the railroad
running time via Marshall pass, which
parallels 1t, is four hours and twenty
Ave minutes. Nevertheless, the aver
age car will take four or five hours
that the passengers may enjoy the
marvellous and matchless views, for
this is beyond question the scenic road
across the state.
Besides the 28 miles Of government
road, the rest of the distance is in
very good repair. This side Of Sar-

of mud. In fact, work on the North
Fork road was entirely suspended uh-
til the rain stops. Mr.. Whalen de-
clares one can fix the road in the
finest shape ever, and by the time ten
heavy cars have wallowed thru the
nire, they will be ruined. SurfacinS
with gravel or granite is the only
solution for dirt roads in heavy
weather.
1t is reported that during the worst
of the storm 80 cars were stranded
at Cimarron, unable to get over the
slippery mud on Cerro hill.
