DELTA PARTY DRIVES THROUGH
FAMOUS GUNNISCN TUNNEL

experience of driving through the Gun
nison tunnel, going the entire six
miles with the exception of the last
$50 feet. At this point there is drop
and side tunnel has been driven for
the purpose Of excavating and it is
impossible to go the rest of the dis
tance.
The men drove in the Hollands car,
Willys Six and Mr.. Hollands says
there was a leeway of about two feet
on either side of the car. 1t was pitch
dark and owing to the atmospheric
conditions, the lights on the car were
of very little assistance. At times
the reflection was such that were it
not for the fact that they knew there
was no dropoff into oblivion, they
would have feared to proceed. The
tunnel is as straight as die for five
miles and the entrance at the west
portal can plainly be seen for this
distance, which at five miles looks
about the size of a cats eye, after
which there is slight turn which
shuts off the view to the entrance.
There IS from 6 to inches of water
all the way through the tunnel due to
constant seepage The men wore ex-
ira wraps expecting to find the air
cold but were surprised to find it un-
usually warm and had no use for the
extra clothing. Mr.. Hollands says that
owing to the inky darkness or some
other influence, one feels that he is
driving extremely recklessly when, in
fact. he is not making 10 miles per
hour. The trip was made out in an
hour and return in three quarters OF
an hour. He says had his car been a
foot longer he would have been unable
to turn it in the passage, and as it
was, he experienced some difficulty in
getting the car rightabout However,
it was delightful experience for all
the men.

Haughenberry Visits office.

A pleasant caller at the Indepen-
dent office Saturday was W.. G..
Haughenberry. one of our good sub
scribers on Rural route 3. He came
into the Valley about four years ago
and says he has no complaint to
register whatever under conditions as
they exist here. He informed us that
he has raised chickens: milks some
cows; raises some sugar beets each
year as well as other crops. Mr..
Haughenberry is of the firm belief
that native grass of some kind can be
successfully grown here. He antici-
pates experimenting somewhat along
this line. It is his belief that many
hillsides and low places will ultimate.
ly be seeded down to some grass
which will thrive in this locality. His
experiments will be watched with
keen interest.

Scarcity of Quail Blamed on
Cats and Hawks.

Today marked opening of the hunt
-; season in Indiana when quail
may be shot and fur-bearing animals
trapped.
George n. Manifold, chief of the
fish and game division, called atten-
ton that hunters should not only pos

fore entering upon a farm.

teen a day and not more than forty
FIVE birds at any time for three con-
secutive days.
There Is no bag limit on fur-bearing
animals, but it is unlawful to trap on
another's land without the written
consent of owner or manager.
Quail are growing more scarce in
Indiana, according to State officials.
-Four principal causes are given: The
cat, the two bird killers, the cooper
and shark-skinned hawks, and the
great horned owl.
It is said that these four take a
heavier toll of quail than any other
