Freighted Big Press
To Gunnison Co.

Among the pioneers Of our county
who were greeting old frinds ct t1e
celebration, . News-C Champion report
er talked With H. b. Hirdman who
settled on Razor creek in 1872. making
his homestead fling the 18th day q
March of that year. Mr.. Hiriman
had been q freighter into tie Cunniasn
country and beyond for sevMal yoaSp;
and with tie rssh Of .settlars Nsnd
valley in 1880. was very busy hanhng
In supplies for the new city.
One of the first large Jobs was to
bring in the big cylinder press which
Is still doing duty at the News-C Cham
pion Office, the very press on which
the paper you are now reading is
printed.
The nearest railroad terminal in
1880 was at Alamosa, and Col Hall,
editor Of the Gunnison Democrat
which started that year in May, con-
cluded to have one of the best presses
going for his new paper in the "fu-
ture metropolis of Western Colora-
do" This is a Campbell press, two
revolution, made by A. Campbell &
Sons Of New York City. It was de-
livered at Alamosa and Mr.. Hirdman
had the job Of freighting 1t over the
old government road via Cochetopa
pass. His team Of tours had a trail
err SO that the complete press was brot
in at one trip, altho It was some
load, in the condition Of mountain
roads at that time. He had to drop
the trailer on the steep grades and
take the four horses back to pick il
up. This Campbell press is really
high grade piece Of machinery, one
Of the best newspaper presses manu-
featured. When the present editor
Of the News-Champion, (successor to
the Democrat, the News Democrat,
the Peoples Champion, and Review
Press) came into possession OF it in
December, 1900, an alleged printer
advised him that it was no good and
should be traded in on modern press.
II had been sadly abused, but by get
ting real mechanics hold of it, this
old machine, freighted over the Coch-
.etopa pass two years before the
railroad came, was repaired and is
still capable Of doing finer printing
than any press between Salida and
Montrose. The News-C Champion fire.

gentleman from some little country
town in the northern part Of the
State. He was 72 years old, and
had left his wife at home while he
visited relatives in the city.
AS judge 1 heard the rest of the
case.
The old man somehow proposed

Truth, they say, is stranger than
Notion. The musty old annals of
the courts contain tales that writers
OF widest fiction could not equal.
There once lived a typical old
spinster up on the north side. She
was about As, 1 guess. Kept
q cat and canary bird, and every
chair in the house sat in its accus-
toned spot year in and year out.
Thwarted in her natural desire to
get a husband, she professed hatred
of all men, though subsequent
events proved the attitude one Of
pretence.
AS is often the case with old
maids, she developed an eccentri-
ctty-she liked drink! Much to the
horror of her married sisters, every
so often the good woman would OBJ
tain some liquor and get "all tanked
up''-always in the deep privacy of
her maiden quarters.

Masardis Village
Threatened by Fire
Situation Desperate

With the shifting Of the winds to
the south and the southwest, the for
est fire conditions in Aroostook county
became more alarming Wednesday and
the village Of Masardts was threatened
with destruction. according to reports
received by State Forest Commission
er Samuel T. Dana. The fire which
practically destroyed the little village
of Griswold Tuesday night was work.
ing its way towards Masardis. about
seven miles away, and at last report
was within a mile Of the village.
Reports Of several new forest fires
in the county were received yesterday
by Commissioner Dana and altogether
the situation appeared much more des-
perate than on Tuesday. fire was
reported in the northwest corner of
Township 9, Range Z, and a crew OF
men was sent to fight the flames. This
place is rather inaccessible and 1t was
thought that the fire must have been
started by campers or fishermen there.
Fire was said to be under control at
Township c, Range 2, and a new one
was reported at Township II, Range I.
The fire at Township II. Range s,
near Dicky Brook, was said to be q
big one and $50 men were working to
bring it under control. The blaze at
Township 20. Ranges IL and II, was
under partial control Wednesday morn
ing, but later assumed larger proper
tions. This fire apparently came across
from Canada. An indirect report was
received by Commissioner Dana that
there was big fire at st. Camille in
Quebec. just across the Maine line.
Deputy Forest Commissioner Neil Vio-
lette is now investigating the situa-
ton in that vicinity.
These reports were all Of the larger
fires, and in addition to these there
were many small fires over the county.
Word was received by Mr.. Dana that
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad had
stopped running all freight trains on
the Ashland and Washburn branches
except at night because Of fire condi-
tons.
