To Secure Mcclure
Pass Highway.

Broad men and county commission
en- of the Second Highway District
Of Colorado held their annual meeting
4 Delta Monday and Tuesday of this
EEK and were very pleasantly enter
med by the commissioners and citi-
rs of Delta.
Qgne very fine speeches were listen
q -. especially addresses by Con-
\ nAsa Tsyisfs whos was q delegate
from Glenwood, by VIM. Weiser,
chairman of the commission and by
Tony Mcneil of Montrose. A ban
quet was given the members Monday
night. Commissioners Sullivan ana
Mergelman of Gunnison county were
in attendance.
The matter of state highway over
Mcclure pass was strongly advocated,
but Chairman Weiser only has $4,000
of state money for 1924 in the eleven
counties of his district, and could not
see the money for much state aid on
that project at this time. However,
the information contained exclusively
in the News-Champion last week con-
corning the decision of the Nationa!
Forest Highway Bureau to build this
road was matter of much interest
and committee of six, one from each
of the counties of Garfield, Eagle, Pit

was later appointed by Chairman,
H. ]. Holmes of the Mcclure pass
association to interview the gov
eminent Bureau of Good Roads in
Denver on November 18th, when the
State Highway meeting will be held
and Chairman Weiser will assist them
in presenting arguments for quick ac-

just as good a road, and only 60 miles
longer to Salida, the need is not so
pressing, and the scenery of Monarch
pass is perhaps closed TO the public
for six months. Cars continue to come
over Coehetopa where storms are
never SO heavy, and where the altitude
is 1900 feet less This pass could be
kept open all winter if there was sufri-
cient pressure of travel to justify it.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
LOCAL POST OFFICE

Postmaster Boyles and his clerical
force have varied their occupation be-
tween trains and Of nights this week,
by rearranging the interior of Uncle
Sans mail depository, securing much
more floor space for working the mail
and added comforts and conveniences
in the way of additional large boxes,
a window for the postmaster himself
to attend to Government Savings mat
tiers and other official business, sepa-
ration of the stamp window from par
eel post and money order business, etc.
It is problem to handle the in
creasing business at the Gunnison Of
flee with the limited space available.
One reason Of the expanding business
is that Gunnison is fortunately situat-
ed at the extreme limit Of the parcel
post second zone from THE large job
bing center Of Denver. The parcel post
rate is actually lower than first class
freight from that city, so that not only
does the local postofice handle fndj-
vidual parcel post, but most merchants
import . large proportion Of their
Wholesale stock by the same route.
The fruit shipments by mail from low
er valleys Is also large and growing
every year. II ~ secure free city

pected still another psubaem viii pre-

SKATING RINK
IS PLANNED
Boy Scouts Have In
Mind a Real Ice Rink.
Will be Backed by
Older Heads of Town

A skating rink Is on the boards fol.
this winter. The Boy Scouts, under
leadership of Prof. II. ID. E.ldridge,
have it in charge and are backed by
number of older boys, notably
Ranger H. L. Spencer, who will be in
town this winter, and Postmaster, l..
G. Boyies. Dir. Spencer, has mad ex-
perience with skating rink at paonia
some years ago, aad Nh. Bo,,es -l.asssx
just how to build and conduct one in
the Gunnison climate, SO that their
experience will be valuable to the
Boy Scouts.
The site now planned for is the half
block behind the cottonwoods, south
west of the college dormitory. The
town council was interviewed at their
special meeting Monday night, and
was very glad to assist the public
enterprise with the necessary wate,
when it comes time to food the rink
in late November, perhaps in time foi
Thanksgiving, If the weather Is right.
City Marshal Andrews, who is Just
now engaged in smoothing up the
town streets, has agreed to lie, ell of
the tract of ground for the boys witt,
the big grader
OF course, the plan is largely as a
contribution to winter sports. but the
boys will make reasonable charge
for skating, and If they make profit.
will use the surplus for starting a
summer camp in the hills, project
they have had in mind for seine time.
There is no reason why Gunnison
should not have one of the finest skat-
ing Kinks in the world. With this
to start the winter, and skiing and
t0bogganing for the later snow
months, we should look forward to lots
Of outdoor sport during the season of
1924.

bee full OF bumps and chuck holes,

to take this heavy machinery to do
effective work. The town has u fair

streets, and II II can be handled in this
economical manner, we shall have

LETTUCE RE-
TURNS FAIR
o. S. Causey Has Good
Success at G o t h ic,
Others Complain of
Bad Market. No Snap
to Raise It

In the firm belief that the head let
tuce industry has come to stay, o. s.
Causey is fall blowing so acres Of
land on his Gothic ranch and getting
ready to plant that acreage in the
spring of 1924.
From 40 acres planted this year he
shipped 10 cars, running something
like 280 field crates to the car. These
are repacked ut Salida into standard
shipping crates to go in refrigerator
cars to the eastern market. Returns
for this season are very incomplete,
but SO far have run from as low as
SO cents net the crate to above $500,
and will average fairly well. If the
money comes thru, this is, of course,
good return for the summers work,
a fine wage, considering the short sea-
son of work required and the reason
able task of planting, cultivating and
harvesting the lettuce.
This return can be largely increased
per acre thru higher production, since
Is narrow gage cars from 40 acres
is not high standard. The season
of 1923 was unfavorable, five snow
storms in October checking the growth
and crop movement. and several cars
were left unharvested in the field. No
doubt there is plenty of work about it,
for as Mr.. Causey suggests, one cannot
plant lettuce and go off and leave it
grow without attention like hay crop.
Beides, to make the highest yield, the
ground must be in good shape, and
fresh ground. either raw land or newly
turned sod is not in the best condition.
When you consider that the altitude
of Gothic is well above 5000 feet, and
that there are perhaps one hundred
thousand acres Of this sort of soil in
our mountains still unoccupied, oHe
gets a new angle on the possibilities
Of the business If it works out
