Mills said that on Thursday night
shortly after 7 o'clock his wife re-
ceived telephone call, which she
told him came from "Henry's," the

RADIO HIGH
.LY SUCCESSFUL

Right out of the starry sky seemed
to come the wonderful radio concert
which Gunnison people were treated
to Saturday night when DIR. Wightman
finally got his loud speaker at the
college in working order and turned
the horn out window on the hill.
1t was the most marvellous exhibi-
tion of radio our people ever heard,
and from what News-Champion can
learn is superior demonstration to
anything yet recorded in the United
States. About 1890 when tuned with
a concert being broadcasted by the
Times ut Los Angeles, the band and
full orchestra and the singing could
be heard plainly at La Veta and the
ID. d X. q. round house over mile
away. We have heard of ampliiiers
catching the radio waves and magni-
flying them until they filled hall, or
could be heard in the open for half
block, but this was tremendous. The
voices and the music from Los Angeles
1900 miles west, were caught on the
aerial, carried thru wire across the
hall and class room, and there ampli-
fed into a concert which doomed and
burst into full cadence half mile
down the street. 1t brot the people
out of their houses, and on main street,
eight blocks from the college, folks
We're inquiring where the music came
from? Who was singing? Where
was the band playing? You simply
could not believe such u wonder pos
sible.
The writer took pains to go up on
the Normal hill, where under the horn
in the window, the concert was at
times too loud for comfort. But pro-
jected over the town, it seemed TO
hover and fill every crevice of the air
with sound.
Shortly after eleven that evening,
the Los Angeles Times concert was
closed, and the radio turned in with
Ames college, Iowa. Blocks away
you could plainly hear the announcer
detailing the selection played and the
beautiful strains of the concert violin
playing cavalleria Rusticana, swelled
into the limpid air and one listened
with delight to the concert violin
played almost 1000 miles to the east.
Tuesday night again the amplifier
was tuned in and such concert num-
bers as La Cinquantaine, alpine
Echoes" with addresses on the popular
subjects of the day were enjoyed by
Gunnison folks upon the streets and
on their door steps and many came
out to listen. This concert came from
Fort Worth, Texas.
1t is expected that many concerts
will be enjoyed during the winter. One
Of the features DR.. Wightman plans
for this month is that of picking up
the Christmas carols to be sung on the
eve of the 25th and amplifing them
for townspeople.
OF course one result has been huge
boom in the radio business, and lots Of
folks are talking of putting in sets.

NEW STATE FOR THE
SOUTHWEST Is URGED BY
EDITOR OF DOVE CREEK

The Inland Empire of Dove Creek
says. In n recent issue OF the Duran
30 Democrat, a six-line item hits
the nail on the head when il suggests
that the next step to be taken alter
We get the southern outlet railroad is
that OF organizing the whole San
Juan basin into a new state.
This is move that we have always
favored. And we are not at all sure
but that the whole Western Slope of
Colorado. as well as the whole San
Juan basin would heartily favor such
a move. This part of the west owes
nothing to porcine Denver; owes no.
thing to the snobs OF Colorado Springs;
owes nothing to the foreign city of
Pueblo; has nothing in common with
the labor agitators and trouble makers
of the eastern slope coal camps, has
nothing in common with the bought
wind-s&ept sections of the eastern
slope in short, the interests of the
eastern and western slopes are identi-
cal in not a single particular.
We have let that part of Colorado
dictate to US long enough. They love
us only for the money we can put into
their Golfers.
In fact the whole western slope of
Colorado, also taking in parts of Utah
and New Mexico, is an empire wonder
full in climate, healthfulness AMI ;atur-
al resources.
A new state-'tis . consumma.ion
devotedly to be wished.
Let's Go!

COUNTY BUYS
OUT GARAGE

Gunnison county will purchase the
west part of the Eastman garage to
house its road machinery, instead of
building next year. This arrangement
was made with Mrs. Eastman at the
commissioners meeting on Tuesday,
when, after investigating all angles OF
the situation, the board decided il was
cheaper to pay Sl1 10000 for an ex-
cellenty constructed garage ready for
immediate use, than to build another
in these days of high construction ex-
pense. A tax levy of approximately
S15.000.00 had been made to cover
this contemplated outlay, rs the coun-
ty machinery is now very extensive
and valuable and must be housed and
cared for. Rental would be at least
500 n month and unsatisfactory at
the best. The west so feet of the ga
rage is complete In itself, this being
the portion first constructed by Mr..
Eastman. 1t is SO 100 feet, with
furnace and 800 gallon gas tank. The
Gunnison Motor Co. Is making arrange
ments to condcnse its business into the
east portion of the building, where a
furnace will be installed as soon as
possible.
All matters are agreed upon con-
corning the purchase, but deeds and
checks will not pass until the next
meeting of the county commissioners
on January 9th.
At the meeting the commissioners
transacted considerable. business relat-
ing to tax matters and allowed current
bills of the month.
w. Porter Nelson of Denver was at
the commissioners meeting here on
Wednesday, and argued for lowering
of taxes on his mining properties on
the Crystal river, but no affirmative
action was taken.

LAKE CITY
NINE STRIKE
LAKE CITY MINE SHOWING
PROMISE OF BIG THINGS

About two weeks ago it was given
out that big strike of high grade
ore was made ut the old Sulphuret
mine at Lake City. and upon examina-
ton it was found to be of greater i'm
portance than was ut first suspected.
The ore was struck by the day shift on
November 26, and runs 81 ,000s ton.
This is undoubtedly the highest grade
OF ore which has been opened up in
paying quantities in that district for
many years.
Owing to the small amount of de-
velopment done on this vein, it is
impossible to state at this time just
how large il is. Mr.. Simms, the gen.
eral superintendent, is much elated
over the showing and very optimistic
concerning future developments.
The ore opened us measured sixteen
inchs in width, with gray copper, sui
phuret. ruby silver, bromide and chlo-
ride thoroly mixed all thru it, and it
is the same high grade which formerly
was mined in the old shaft years ago.

Denver, Mr.. Lynch conferred with the
d. & r. G.. w. officials in regard to
the ice crop that will be put up at
Buena Vista this season and at Bright
on he settled with the Colorado Cab
bage Exchange for twelve cars of
lettuce shipped to that organization by
the lettuce association last season.
We are informed that Mr.. Lynch
will visit Chicago in the near future
to find what became of and to procure
payment for q cars of lettuce shipped
to that place.
The affairs of the association are
coming to head, and it is expected
that the carbuncle that has been ir-
ritating the organization will be lane
ed in the near future and when the
pus, which affected the organization
in the past, is drawn, it will be placed
on healthy, sound footing for the
coming season.

travel and return safely from the holi-

DIR. Hanson informs US that he has
reliable information that there are 244
