ence over controversies arising in the
Pacific.
An amendment for that purpose by
Senator Pittman. Democrat. Nevada,
similar to two on the same subject re-
jected yesterday was defeated fifty to
twenty eight. The treaty opponents
indicated, however, that they would
bring the proposal forward again later
in the form of a reservation in the
hope that they might secure the sup
port of a number of senators who OBJ
ject to all amendments as a matter
of principle.
Ratification Seems Sure.
The party alignment on the amend
ments was virtually the same as that
which yesterday defeated similar
amendments. Except for a temporary
absentee the same few Republicans
and Democrats left the majority of
the respective parties.
Ratification of the treaty by the end
of next week appeared assured today
when leaders of both sides reached
an agreement TO limit debate, starting
next Tuesday.
The attempt to amend the four

FIFTY YEARS
Il. GUNN|sON

Christmas Day, 1872. The MONDAY
sun was glitering from the snowy
ranges Of the West Elks, and the Gum
nison valley lay white and inviting,
but not thing stirred in the wide
expanse, except as a herd of deer
browsed along the river bank, or a
cottontail sped across the drifted snow.
Over the Cochetopa hills came a
lone horsemnn, and passing down the
Tomichi swept the plain with his eye.
The lone rider was Alonzo Hart
man, Oldest of our Gunnison settlers,
and he was viewing for the first time
his future abode for half a century.
Little did Mr.. Hartman dream of
the changes which history would make
of the landscape before his eyes, Of
the magic growth Of Gunnison and
its early dream Of greatness, of the
decay of the boom and the growth Of
the ranch industry, in which he was
q leader and pioneer, of finding the
girl who wSAld be his helpmate thru
life, of the family he would rear in
its bosom, of the college on Normal
Heights, and of the citizens who were
to labor with him in building COM
monwealth.
On that Christmas day fifty years
ago next Monday, young Mr.. Hartman
was furnishing beef supplies for the
government Ute Indian agency at Los
Pinos, and was riding north and west
across an unknown country on scout
ing expedition.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman are
along in years now, but their hearts
are still young, and we bespeak many
more Christmases for them to enjoy in
the valley they have SO long called
their home.
