1t has been said that person or o
community never stands still, but that
we are either going forward or back
ward. This maxim is only too true,
and belize that the citizens Of Gun
nison county are well aware Of this
fact.
Well, let us analyze the industrial
situation and make an effort to dis
cover whether or not Gunnison county
is progressing or is in the ranks of
those bound for oblivion.
Let US do little reconnaissance as
to the progressive spirit in the county
and ascertain what is being done in
way of progress and improvements.
In the first place, farmers in the
county will raise at least 200 acres Of
head lettuce, which under ordinary
conditions, will bring in lot Of
money. When this business is estab-
lished on . firmer basis, there is every
reason to believe that this acreage will
be greatly increased in the succeeding
Year,, and become q great asset 70

|A[L LINING UP IN FAVOR
OF SANTA FE RAILROAD
Western and Southern Colorado Unit. Cum
nison Representatives are Enthused Over
Prospects Of Linking D. & r. C. w. with
Great Transcontinental System.

Gunnison will go down with her
sister counties of the Western Slope
and all Southern Colorado in advocat-
ing the merger of the d. & r. G. w.
lines with the Santa Ee railroad in
stead Of with the Burlington.
This is pretty well settled by de-
velopments of the week, in which the
representative of our Chamber Of
Commerce, Mr.. c. NJ. Long, attended
the Slope convention ut Montrose and
at the great gathering Monday at
Pueblo, in which J. S. Ferris, presi-
dent of the Chamber, acted as a dele
gate.
Our group of counties In the Gun
nison and Uncompahgre valleys were
already pretty well united on the idea
that only by linking the Rio Grande
with a strong, ably managed railroad
system could We hope to get adequate
transportation, and the convention at
Montr0se cinched the sentiment. The
meeting at Pueblo was an outpouring
of delegates, who seemed to come
together spontaneously with the idea
of self preservation by the securing of
real railroad which would enable
Colorado to take her proper industrial
place, thru development Of the whole
state, instead of being tied to Denver's
kite. From Colorado Springs, south
and west the representatives seemed
unanimous in believing that the Santa
Fee was the thing to advocate before
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which holds meeting in Denver for
a week from the 18th to the 23rd of
April, to learn the preferences of the
people and facts concerning the rail
roads.
DIR. Ferris gives the News-C Champion
much information about the meeting
at Pueblo, at which he was represent
alive from our city by request of the
directors Of the Chamber Of Commerce.
The facts brought out were strongly
in favor Of the Santa Fe, principally,
because that road is run by broad
minded men who not only operate
their lines scientifically and economic
ally, but lay far-reaching plans to de-
velop the region they penetrate. In
stance after instance was cited to show
how the Santa Fe would build side
tracks and switches to coal mines and
