ASSESSOR PLANS
INCREASE IN
VALUATION

On August 2, the County Assessors
office will mail to each property
holder in Gunnison County, a card
notice with the assessed valuation of
his property for 1921.
An attempt has been made by the
assessor, with the aid and council of
some of the best qualified help obtain-
able, to equalize the valuations in the
towns of Gunnison and Crested Butte.
The best agricultural land in the
county has been raised $3.50 per acre.
This is not in exact accord with the
instructions of the Colorado Tax
Commission, as they advised raise
of $500 on this land, but the assessor
feels that the amount is too much
for the ranchmen to stand for at this
! time. After the schedules were re-
ceived at the office and approved, q
representative of the Colorado Tax
Commission visited the office and in
sisted that raise be made on most
of the improvements on the ranches
in this county. He was positive that
the improvements were far too low
and that if this raise was not made,
the Assessment Roll would not be ac-
cepted by the Colorado Tax Commits
sion.
Accordingly, the Assessor has made
some changes in the schedules, some
of them carrying very much of an in
crease, in fact the effort has been ex-
tended to the county, as well as to the
town in trying to equalize valuation.
The County Commissioners viii
meet as an equalization board on the
first Tuesday in September and will
take up any and all differences the
assessor is not able tn adiust
Gunnison news-champion., 1921-07-29

ms amount was Immediately paid
by the representatives and the certi-
ficates delivered to them.
Since the final decision in the Radet-
sky case a few weeks ago, the n9w
company has gone energetically to
work toward recognizing the plant
and quarries at Marble and commenc-
ing operations. A detail of men was
sent from Denver on Monday to make
an examination of the property and
report on the work required to re-
habilitate the plant. Parts of the
mill will have to be rebuilt and prac-
tically all the machinery must be re-
paired. The Crystal River & San
Juan railroad, which, together with
the Crystal River railroad, connects
Marble with the main line Of the Rio
Grande at Carbondale, will have to be
repaired and put in operating condi-
tion by the marble company, after
which the railroad officials will take
charge. Much damage has been done
to both the railrosds by washouts
since they ceased operation in 1917.
The Colorado Yule Marble Company
operated quarries on commercial ba-
sis for about 10 years prior to 1917,
supplying marble for some Of the
greatest building projects in the U. 8.
This quarry supplied the marble for
the greatest marble structure in the
world, the Lincoln Memorial in Wash
ington, b. c., and has filed many
contracts for public buildings in New
York, Columbus, Cleveland, San Fran
cisco and other cities. The Postoffice
building and State Museum in Denver

when in 1917 the government classi-
fed marble quarrying as q non-essen-
tial industry. The plants then closed
down entirely and since that time the
city of Marble has been practically q
deserted village. Within few short
months, Marble will again be one OF
the three largest towns in the county.
From the spirit shown by the pres
ent owners of the property, it is ex-
pected that one Of the greatest in
dustries in the state will be built up.
The quarries at Marble are the biggest
and finest in the world, and there is
no reason for failure in their devel-

BEAUTY HINTS
BY NINE. MOREAU

OF course it's the face hal counts.
You've said 1t time and again.
Clothes are exceedingly important,
and ones manner and adj that, but
! after all it's the face that makes n
wonder what kind of person lives
within. Only a face can do that.
And there must be mental pofse
and beauty of thought to produce
the expressiveness which makes a
beautiful face. But e the loveli-
est of expressions must have set
tings.
And with this you must concern
yourself. First of all you must
have a clean skin. But don't scrub
to be clean. That is skin murder!
Nothing less. To get that glowing.
clean from the inside look-PAT!
Pat to get the circulation up. Pat
to keep it carrying away the impuri-
ties which cause the dark, dinSy
look. Pat every day with a little
wad of cotton wrapped in silk, until
the skin clears up. And then con-
tinue patting to keep it clear. Cool
ing the patter with ice water helps
it's effectiveness. But queeze 1t dry
before using.
And your nose. Mustn't have a
SHINY nose. II your nose sHiheS' po
sure. on the advice of your physi-
clan, that your liver is all right
and then pat to start the circulation
of that too neglected section of
skin.
Patting is wonderful, too, for the
eyes. Pat gently around them with
skin food and watch them brighten
up. Patting does away with the
puffs under them, the dark circles
and strengthens sagging muscles.
If you would give the patting a
really professional touch. buy a very
| pliable wire fly swatter. Cut it down
so it is about two inches in dame
ter. cover it with chamois skin and
then with absorbent cotton. Put a
rubber band around the handle of
the swatter to hold the cotton tight.
Then pat!

August II, 1921
During the active hours of this
day kindly stars dominate, according

benefc aspect later.
Under this kindly sway all ambi-
tious enterprises should benefit.
There Is an encouraging sign for
trade and commerce.
should be successful in the after
noon, but the morning may bring
encouragement.
Neptune is in a place supposed to
affect the mind, making for despond-
ency and causing suicides.
Sanitation should receive special
attention at this time, for there is a
forecast of epidemics in cities. The
digestive apparatus will be exceed
ingly sensitive and subject to disease.
Poisoning cases will be strangely
numerous from this time on, and
1000 contamination Will be pfeVa-
lent, the seers declare.
Astrologers foretold sweeping
changes in the domestic life of the
people and they now prophesy a re-
action toward old standards of con-
duct.
Increase of scandals, a prediction
that has been a~bundantly fulfilled,
will be even more apparent in the
autumn than previously. for sinister
forces are at work, astrologers de-
clare.
Those who foresee the spread of
moral corruption announce that a
crisis is approaching that will mark
q reversal of bad conditions.
Through many ~thwarting condi-
tions new associations of women will
reach success, it is prophesied.
According to ancient lore this
should be an unusually lucky day
for fishing.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
should be careful to avoid accident
in the coming year. They should
have no cause to worry about bust
ness.
Children born on this day may be
careless and inclined to be indolent.
These subjects of Leo usually are
very good-natured and have many
friends.
