Lots of Beaver in
the GunnisOn Hills

Forestry officers estimate that there
are 4,975 beavers on the million acres
Of the Gunnison Forest. Perhaps; We
know they are pretty numerous Oh
upper reaches of the streams, but
5000 beaver Is . lot. They also esti-
mate nearly 5000 on both Cochtopa
and Battlement forests. and $1,000
in the state ut large.
OF the local fur bearers, it il as
serted that u colonies are doing
some damage to crops, irrigation
bitches, ETC., but most Of the cases re-
ported have been relieved.
The beaver are getting almost rs
numerous as in early days, because
Of protection by game laws. The
pelts vary greatly in value, running
from So to $50 or more on the mar
ket. Just think what 5000 beavers
would be worth for their skins. Al
only s25 each, they would run into
real money. However, an open sea
son would undoubtedly exterminatc
them in year.
Beaver do some damage, but also
are beneficial in many ways, by reg
ulating stream flow, checking silt, fur
nishing ready-made retaining ponds
for young trout, attract water birds,
etc. IL they could be systematically
raised for their fur and flesh, they
might become Of still more economic
value.

BANK TURMOIL

Montrose is In the throes of an
other bank turmoil, not failure, rs
has been reported, for the shortage
was promptly replaced by government
bonds from private funds Of the di-
rectors, but It appears a fiat $4,000
was stolen from the bank and has been
missing for some time.
D. X. Grant, for fifteen years q
leading citizen of Montrose, ex-mayor.
city booster, prominent business man
and for some years assistant cashier
of First National Bank there, is the
man on whom suspicion has fallen,
and who is in the tolls of the law.
Grant was discharged two weeks ago
and left for Kansas City, but furnish
ed the bank officials with an itinerary
of his travels and promised to return
at call, il he could help to straighten
out the tangle. The shortage occur
red in the school warrants held by
the bank, records showing $4,000 il.
cash as having been paid for them,
but only $4,000 appearing in the
vaults. Several corps of experts
were unable to locate hair nor hide
Of the missing $4,000 warrants.
After Grant left, tailor with whom
he had left coat for cleaning, is al
iCkCu W nave ulbCONcISu bOInG W8I-
rants in the pocket. There were $16,-
600 Of them and they were phony,
that is drawn on districts 4 and IL
which no longer existed. The names
signed were fictitious, and people TO
whom drawn claim to have no record
of selling the goods for which they
bore receipt on their face. They were
stamped mo funds" by q county
treasurers stamp that had apparent
| ly been stolen. Without telling Mr..
Grant of the discovery he was wired
by friends to return and promptly
started from Kansas City. He claims
| to have driven nearly 400 miles the
first day and passed thru Gunnison
Monday evening. BY this time the
Montrose officials were worried and
wired Sheriff Hanlon to apprehend
him. Under Sheriff Lehan and Ham
lon arrested him promptly, but he
was met here by H. C. Getty who
agreed to be personally responsible
for his appearance at Montruse. The
sheriff turned him over to Mr.. Getty
and they drove on to Montr0se. arriy-
ing there late that night. Shortly
after midnight Grant was arrested by
Sheriff Galloway of Montrose while
in consultation with his attorney, f.
d. Catlin. Both in Gunnison and
Montrose Grant denied his guilt and
assrts that other parties are entirely
to blame for the shortage. His bond
has been placed at SIC, 200, which was
raised in half an hour by friends who
believe in his innocence.
Coming SO soon after the failure of
the Home State Bank and Nucla
banks, it has of course, worried the
people of the city tremendously. The
bank funds are unimpaired, since The
directors have made up the sAortake
from their own personal funds.
Nevertheless the outcome = beng
watched with intense interest thruouf

LOCAL R. c.
HELPS JAPAN
appalling Catastrophe
Greatest In History.
Millions Fl o m eless
and Destitute

President Coolidge has sent mes
sage broadcast, urging the people of
the United States to help Japan in
her hour Of deep distress. Red Cross
Chapters will lead the campaign To
help the stricken Japanese people, over
a million, it is estimated, are homeless
and starving as q result of terrific
earthquake early in the week, which
laid waste great cities and killed
hundreds Of thousands of its people.
Judge c. H. Stone, president of the
local American Red Cross, received q
telegram this week, saying that the
quota for Gunnison was $500. After
holding a meeting of the executive
board of the local chapter, it was de-
cided to send $3.50 out of the Red
Cross fund now and the rest later on,
when we learn more definitely the
demands and conditions Of the situa-
ton. 1t was thought best to draw on
the fund that was here in the bank
which is not being used just now, be-
cause it would be a quicker method
than campaign.
This is one Of the most terrible dis.
asters the world has ever known, re-
sulting in more loss of lives and de-
struction Of property. People in the
stricken country are starving and the
suffering is untold. The United
States will answer the call of human
ity.
Those desiring to contribute to this
cause of suffering humanity can send
their money direct to Judge Stone, oil
if desired, the News-Champion will
take care of such contributions and
see that the donors receive credit, as
it did in the Pueblo disaster.

During the spring the government
set aside $500 for this preliminary

completed, an all-winter route to the
rest of Western Colorado. This sur
vey will be used as a basis to deter
