Jos. Blackstock Of Gunnison, was mar
ried at Los Angeles, California, Sat
urday, April 18th, to Miss Ruth Hol-
comb, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. o.
Holt omb. News of the wedding veri-
fies the many rumors to that effect
which have been floating around for
the past several weeks.
Mr.. Blackstock, who is the local
agent for the Continental Oil company
left five weeks ago for a vacation in
California. He returned Tuesday eve
ming. Mrs. Blackstock, who is teach
ing in the Los Angeles public schools,
will finish her term and join her hus-
band here in July. The couple will
reside in the .Blackstock house on Vir-
ginia avenue, now occupied by B. H.
Jorgensen.
The wedding is the outcome Of q
romance Of several years. standing, be-
ginning in Gunnison when the two
were students together in the County
High School. Miss Holcomb will be
remembered as sister of Mrs. A. G.
Hoel, Mr.. Hoel being Mt that time the
principal of the Grammar chool here.
Miss Holcomb graduated from the
high school in 1908 and left for Cali
fornia shortly thereafter where she
has since resided.

INSURANCE RATES GIVEN
GREAT BIG DROP

Insurance rates in Gunnison are due
for another decided drop about May
first according to word received by +.
G. Palmer, agent, from the Rocky
Mountain Fire Inspection bureau
this week.
Due to better fire protection for
the town, including the new equipment
and active fire companies, and clean
up campaign Of certain fire traps, etc,
this city has received the four and .
half classification, instead Of being
fifth class. Just how much the actual
saving in insurance premiums will be
is not known until the various agents
receive the new rate books, but Mr..
Palmer thinks it will probably vary
from seven or eight per cent on red-
dences to as high as thirty Per cent
on some business buildings.
The movement for better fre protec-
ton has thus resulted in very substan-
tial benefits, and those have led the
fight, as well as the members Of Gun
nison Volunteer Fire Department No.
1, are entitled to the thanks Of every
body who pays fire insurance, some
thing that most everyone does, either
directly or Indirectly.

ago for bond issues Indeed, xix
weeks ago when the bond issue was
first discussed. several Denver houses
sent representative here and tried
70 buy the bonds in advance, but the
best offer received was slightly over
par for six per cent bond. The coun-
Gil turned down any such offers and
has rewarded by noating the issue
at what figures out TO be 5k per
cent, on par basis
As matter Of fact interest rates
on this class Of securities have been
weakened for some time. When Lib
erty bonds 60 to par, and the govern
ment can borrow ut 3is, il Is time
good municipals came down to around
five per cent.
Nevertheless the other Denver bond
houses, which usually work in collus-
sion, sent three representatives here
to bid on the $45y 600 issue, and q num-
Der Of other firms sent written bids.
None Of them were within two points
Of this bid. Boetcher, Porter 4 Co.
presented a bid Of $4,000 per thous-
and. on five per cent interest rate.
All others were less favorable, and the
bid Of Antonides 4 Co. means that
Gunnison receives nearly thousand
dollars more for the bonds than other
wise offered.
This speaks well for the reputation
Of stability which Gunnison enjoys,
since very few cities in the country
have been able to float bonds on q
five per cent basis for a number of
years. The bonds will be dated May
first and will be optional in ten years
and due in fifteen years. 1t is not
known whether the firm that bought
them will offer any for sale here or
not.
The town council transacted this
business at their meeting Tuesday
night. The council also approved the
plans Of Supt- keenan, for improve
ments and extension on the light and
water plant, to be begun May 9th.

ATTENDING SPECIAL SESSION

and listened to the call by Governor
Shoup detailing the need Of Noffat
tunnel bill and the Pueblo Flood Con-
troll bill. Special committees from
house and senate are wrestling with
these questions, trying to get them in
to shape for presentation on the floor
of the two chambers.
SO far there seems little opposition
to the tunnel bill, 1t seeming to be
the opinion that II the counties in
terested want to bond themselves to
build II, the rest of the state should
stand aside. The original bill, as
presented. would appear to provide
that assessment for the purpose Of
bonding and taxation to pay interest
was to be on an acreage basis. As
Denver, one of the counties interested,
has no acreage to speak of, this would
be a joker in the bill, but it will un-
doubtedly be ironed out before such
a bill could pass.
In the proposition to include Pueblo
and large portions of the Arkansas
valley in an expensive food control
district, opinion is by no means un-
animous. There are influential peo-
pie from Pueblo and vicinity who do
not like the proposed bill and have in
troduced another. Today much evi-
dence is being presented for and
against the two bills before commit
tees of the house and senate.
Yesterday the Legislature adjourned
for time in honor of the memory Of.
the late Thos. H. Kelley, deceased. Mr..
Kelley was Democratic floor leader at
the regular session, and there are only
q few Of US left to hold the bridge
against the Republicans. However, it
is not probable that there will be
much politics in this special session.

Mr.. Link. who goes to Gunnison to-
night to speak, will probably have q

solution. l am much in hopes that

in part at least, by mutual
