LABOR DAY CELEBRATION ON
BLACK MESA ATTRACTS MANY

Monday the Crawford State Bank
of Crawford, with Leslie J. Savage,
cashier, in charge Of proving q good
fellow to all the guests Of the bank,
entertained nearly 200 guests from
the counties Of Delta, Aontrose, Mesa
and Gunnison, on the summit of the
Black Mesa, It what is known n
Corral Gulch, 37.7 miles out from
Hotchkiss or 25.7 miles from Crsw-
ford.
The affair was in the nature Of an
all-day picnic Of the Delta County
Bankers Association, at which were
present the newspaper men OF Delta
and Montrose counties, county COM
missioners and highway men from
both state and district.
The attendance from Gunnison was
limited however to Commissioner
Sullivan and Theo. Kreuger, forest
supervisor.
The primary object Of the picnic
on Black Mesa was to direct particu-
lar attention to the condition Of the
Black mesa road, and to work up some
enthusiasm and sentiment for an APP
preparation for putting it in better
order and making it . real highway.
The Crawford and Hotchkiss folks
being on the line Of the Black mesa
road, are Of course deeply interested
IN seeing this scenic road put in bet
ter shape than it Is ut the present
time, and it was hoped that when the
eondition of It was seen, some action
might 1ssult to get IN appropxiattcn
that would put the road in bstter
condition.

The town council Of Gunnison has
decided to buy an auto truck for use
in its business, which has become
many sided, with street repairs, light
and water construction, refuse dis
posal, snow plowing, etc. At the
meeting Tuesday night, Councilman
Zugeider brought up the matter and
showed that the cost Of hauling now
approaches $500 year for the differ
ent departments. A Sampson one-ton
truck costing $770, delivered, was de-
cided upon, and is ordered thru the
Rainbow Route Garage.
Mr.. Zugelder is chairman Of the
street and alley committee, which will
pay one-half Of the cost of the truck
out of the road fund. The balance
of the fund will be used this fall to
do certain very desirable work on
our streets. Marshal Andrews has
applied for the job Of driving the new.
bus in times when the marshal buA-
ness is slack.
At the meeting Health Officer DR..
Hanson called attention to the seri-
Gus condition which the overfowing
sewer is making at the foot Of Main
street. Owing to contract with
Adam Bros. ranch for the use of the
sewage for irrigation, Is acres have
been seeded on which the sewage is
used. However, to raise the water to
the level Of the land Il Is necessary
to close headgate Just south Of the
Rio Grande track, which in turn
backs up the sewer water until 1t
flows from the manholes lflke foun-
tain and overhows quite . section Of
country, besides seeping into cellars
in that vicinity. Something must BE-
done about this or the ho1lth cf the
town WI be endangered.
Marshal Andrew1 called attention
to tie fact that hundred a hoad ck

RETURN FROM TRIP TO
NEW MEXICO-FINE OUTING

Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Kroll and son,
Lawrence and Pat Hanlon returned
late Tuesday from motor trip to
Deming, New Mexico where they
went to take Miss Jennie Hanlon,
who will teach there the coming year.
They report it as being very dry all
thru New Mexico. At one place where
they stopped they were told there
had been no rain for a year. All
thru the southern part of Colorado,
however, they were bothered with
heavy rain and mud. At one place
the mud was so bad, about twenty
cars were stalled, awaiting to 90 third
and many of them had tried to get
through but failed. The tourists were
much surprised when Lawrence drove
the big Buick thru without q mo-
ment's hesitation. They all enioyed
the trip. Lawrence left Wednesday
for Fort Collins to attend the Agri-
cultural college.

Margaret Worth of Salida. The cer-
cmony took place at st. Joseph's
Catolic Church in Salida, Rev. j. B.
White officiating. The groom was at
tended by his brother, Frank p. Nc
Donough, while Miss Webbe of Sail
da acted as bridesmaid. Following
the ceremony, the happy couple left

returning to their future home in our
city.
DR.. McDonough has been in Gum

the south side of the road is to be

as two feet under the surface is bot
fomless wet muck It is difficult
TO secure men to labor under such
conditions. However, q large part
of the improvement will consist in
hauling the gravelly hills both ways
TO fill the center. The whole will
then be surfaced with disintegrated
granite. 1t will make a splendid road
but for six weeks now travel will be
much inconvenienced out of town

The Forest Service win not only
build road into Taylor park at once,
appropriations for $4,000 to apply
on this project being now ready for
expenditure, but from the fifteen mil
lion fund which congress has just
given the national forest for use in
road building in l923-24 and 25, the
share of the Gunnison forest will be
used for a number of splendid high
ways connecting with the Rainbow
Route, the great federal interstate
primary road extending thru our
county.
This matter has been under consid-
GRAFTON by the local forest officers
and the county commissioners for
some time, the latter at their meet

attended altogether. The picnic was
held near the Briggs ranch on the
middle Of the mesa.
After q sumptuous banquet from
a platform draped in bunting and
flags, the speaking took place. G. ].
Moynihan talked on the "American
Boy;n T. W. Mcneil talked ON roads;
Thos. Blackwell Of Hotchkiss talked
on everything; Bob Higgins talked on
roads and Mortimer Stone said It
was too late to talk. Miss Donna
Hartman, Miss Rice and John Kraal
gave vocal solos, while the Crawford
orchestra furnished instrumental mu-
sic during the serving Of the eats.
On the western side of the mesa
some one had placed signs over a
number Of pole culverts that were
broken, the s signs .NE .sading: Danger" pg,
Why!"
Montrose papers attempt to locate
these signs in Gunnison county, but
as matter of fact, the entire west
ern approach is in Montrose county,
the line crossing the rim on diagon-
al and taking in the head Of Crystal
Creek, but not the new road here.

NEW BUSINESS
EMPLOYING LABOR

A crate mill to run steadily the
year around making lettuce crates
for the growers is said to be under
consideration by Buena Vista resi-
dents.
With the experience the Endner
Lumber company and the Mauer
Lumber company have had making
crates for the local product this year,
there is no reason why they should
not continue to produce all the crates
needed for the surrounding territory.
There is plenty of suitable lumber In
the hills and in fact these companies
can utilize considerable lumber in
their mills.
1t will certainly beat shipping them
in from the Pacific coast states and
having delayed freights cause a dis
aster in delivery, as almost occurred
this year. The fact that our local
mills stepped into the breach and
made thousand crates each, saved
the day for great deal of lettuce
that would otherwise have gone to
seed before it could be marketed.
It is business that can give stea-
dy employment to probably dozen
or 30 Of people the year around, and
is wei worth looking into.
Before the folks at Buena Vista go
too far 1t would pay to have our Gun
nison mills endeavor to cover this
market, for something that can just
as well be produced at home, and
perhaps supply considerable outlying
territory.

FAILURE OF TRANSPORTATION
MAKES FRUIT SELL CHEAPER

Montrose Press:-
Word comes from Dolores that
the fruit shippers there have failed
TO receive single inquiry regarding
fruit so far this season. With one
of the heaviest crops ever grown in
that section being harvested, the sit
uation is Becoming critical. Persons
coming from the lower country say
that fruit can be purchased Of the
growers at practically your own
price By going after it. Many fami-

country during the coming week to

One of the important new courses
at the County High School this next
year, will be course in agriculture.
There has been great demand for
this for several years, but the way
did not open until under the proyi-
sions Of the Smith-Hughes bill, il is
possible to secure the Services of an
instructor, considerable portion of
whose salary will be paid by the gov
eminent. Mr.. H. D. EldEidge, a re-
cent graduate of the Agricultural
College at Fort Collins, has been en-
gagged to give this course, and arrived
this week to take up his duties. With
%. S. Causey, principal of the Gunni-
son County High School, he has been
interviewing our ranchmen and farm
ers as to their problems and lining up
such students as may desire to speci-
alize in agricultural work adapted to
the high mountain area
This is very fine addition to the
county high school and will undoubt-
edly be a popular course. Mr.. Ed
ridge is here to study the problems of
ranching in the high attitudes and to
cooperate in the different branches
as well as to give instruction in the
school proper. He gives the News
Champion a preliminary outline Of
his work which appears herewith.
A survey of the county is being
made to interest ranchers in the new
course WHICH is being added to the
curriculum of the Gunnison County
High School. The need of such a
course has long been felt and from
the reception it has received among
the ranchmen who have been inter-
viewed and whose support has been
solicited, we have every reason to be-
lieye that the work will prove both
intereting and profitable to parents
and pupils alike. The new course is
in Agriculture-not in the raising
Of beets and turnips, but that Of pure
bred stock, improvement Of herds,
both in the dairy and beef breeds
thru the proper selection Of sires in
the herd, thru balancing Of, rations
and thru the general care and man.
