There Is just One Thing
that helps to keep me popped up
this summer weather and that Is
the thought that Peggy Ann can
do great things with her dollars at
the Pettis Dry Goods Company s
July Sale-the place and the time
are absolutely right. 1t really
doesn't make very much difference
whether you want a French srock,
a sport coat, pair Of dancing
pumps or a pair of tennis shoes. a
set of hickory furniture for your
porch or an lea cream freezer. you
will find it at reduced prices. There
= are sales and sales, every season
seems to bring one of its very own,
but for actual value there is none
that surpasses the July Sale at Pet
tis, so let the mercury climb high

lected. yea even gleeful at the bar
gains she is finding.

Mother, Let Me Have A Glass
OF milk" This is the cry that
greets the busy mother at differ
ent times during the whole day
and evening-and there is none
that the mother is better pleased
to hear, for she realizes that milk
Is the one perfect drink for her
growing youngsters. A cool drink
of milk is not only refreshing, but
1t Is also nourishing and furnishes
the food elements necessary for
proper growth and development.
The Fourth of July Is Past
1t won't be long until the tenth.
have you made your savings
deposit so it will draw interest
from the first? Have you followed
Peggy AIMS suggestion about de-
posting so much out of each pay
check and then managing on the
balance-that's the way to do it
for If you wait to see what you
will have left at the end of the
week-so often there is nothing
left.
But go to Miss Fischer of the
Meyer-Kiser Bank and she can give
you more helpful advice in a very
few minutes that any one Peggy
Ann has ever met-don't delay,
see her today.

Dancing Has Continued Without
abatement during this summer.
for there have been very few eve
nings when the weather has been
too hot to enjoy tripping the light
fantastic. In the average home
the music for dancing Is furnished
by a phonograph, for they have
been SO perfected as to furnish
very good dance music-the very
newest dance tunes are soon avail
able on the phonograph. Superior
for dancing as well as for all other
purposes, the music provided by
a Brunswick phonograph is all
that could be desired.
Peggy Ann is so sold on the
Brunswick phonograph that she
purchased one similar to the one
shown above for her own use. sew
eral months ago and since that
time it has been an increasing
source Of enjoyment.
Visit the Brunswick department
Of the Baldwin Piano Company,
Is North Penn. ST., and ask to
have them show you the wonder
fully attractive period models;
they are always glad to demon

new records for you.

SENATOR TOBlN MAKES
SENSATIONAL CHARGES
AGAINST ID. Z. r. G. w.

Senator Tobin Of Montrose made q
sensational charge against the D. 4
II. G. w. railroad in conjunction with
Wall Street manipulators on the floor
OF the state senate q week ago. The
senator charges that the railroad
combination is endeayoring to wreck
the Colorado system, thereby forcing
out small stockholders. The charges
were made by Tobin in a speech sup
porting the resolution introduced last
Wednesday, calling on the governor
to relieve the transportation Difficult
ties and car shortage resulting from
the shopmen's strike.
To quote the senator: ruin and loss
OF our properties are staring us in
the face, our sons are leaving for the
cities in order that they may obtain
livelihood. Advertised sales of land
for delinquent taxes have never been
larger. In the Uncompahgre valley
alone, more than 1900 settlers will
desert their lands and move away if
they do not have relief shortly. This
condition is brot about by the fact
that we have to pay exorbitant freight
tariffs and we have no cars to move
our produce"

NOT IN ;;0N
ROAD FUND

County Commissioners Knowles
and Mergelman met last Tuesday and
transacted much business, such as pass
ing bills, etc. Commissioner Sullivan
being absent in Grand junction.
A number of other important mat
ters came before the commissioners,
some of which were widely discussed,
but no action taken. A committee
from the Rotary Club, consisting of
B. H. Jorgensen, John A. Steele and
Carlton Sills, presented the matter of
Gunnison county's participation in the
twelve million dollar state and govern
ment good road fund voted BY the
taxpayers last fall. 1t appears that
no effort had been made Of late to
see mat this county and it's section of
the Rainbow Route got anything out
Of the divy. Even the old appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the Blue Mesa
seemed in danger, and the .$2500 for
gravelling the cemetery lane east of
town had been withdrawn, due to pro-
tests sent in to the State Highway
commission by certain parties at or
near 0unnison, who were opposed to
any road work at all. As long as the
ss..::.tte and government funds are going
to be spent anyway, and some other
county will get the benefit, without
reducing our taxes particle, the
committee desired to ask the commits
sioners if there was not some way the
Rotary Club could help secure our
fair share Of this outside money. They
were confident the Chamber Of Com
merce would assist, and believed there
was no reason why the Gunnison Stock
Growers Association, as composed of
public spirited citizens, would not as
sist and make it united community
movement.
Commissioners Knowles and Mergel-
man took no action, but Mr.. Know
les stated that he understood this divi-
sion of funds would come up for final
decision in Denver within few days
and he would try to attend. County
Attorney E. NJ. Nourse expects to bt
in Denver early next week, and will
do what he can to assist.

Of Doleville, was appointed justice o!

Death Rate Still
Low In GunnisOr

DR.. J. d. Walker, statistician for
Cunnieon County has compiled the
following data on births and deaths
IN the county, not including the towns
Of Crested Butte and Pitkin, which
have registrars Of their own. Births
during 1922 were 80; death, 80. II
will therefore be seen that the birth
rate ID 128 per cent greater than the
death rate for last year.
In other words, the rate Of births
based on the population, was two pei
cent and the rate Of deaths on the
same basis was 39.45 Of one per cent,
assuming a population of 5000, includ-
ed, that would mean death rate OF
only eight to the thousand, which,
however. is larger than the average
year IN 0unnison. n.s.-s. =.

Support The
GunnisOn Firemen

Do you know what boys on the
IRE fighting force Of Gunnison arr
doing TO reduce fire hazards and Incl
dentally, reduce insurance rates!
These boys are donating their time
energy, and good will in order TO pro-
tect the property and life in our town
from the fire demon.
About two years ago, q new fire
equipment, costing in the neighbor-
hood Of 5000. was secured BY the
town Of Gunnison. As . consequence,
and BY reason Of the dept. development
the insurance rate has been reduced
by the Board of Underwriters from 20
to IS per cent. The fire department
boys, in their present status, are hand
icapped by the lack of funds to carry
out their programs of better fighting
equipment and organisation. Tke
Firemen's Ball, scheduled for February
22nd, at La veta hotel, the proceeds
Of which will go toward the up-keep
Of the worthy cause Of the Fircmen,
deserves the support of every loyal
eiti1en In our town, as well as adjacent
reeidents in the country.
The Ball Committee, composed of
Jay Miller, Verne Mauer and John
Zngelder, will see to 1t thatthe annual
anair given this year will be an occas-
ston o. enjoyment, - has been the
case with former events given by the
hre boys.. The High School Alumni
will serve delicious luncheon and the
Miller orchestra furnishes the music.
Keep this date in mind and attend
the ball.

COMMEMORATIVE
OUR RESOURCES
(By Walter Enbom)


We have enough mineral resources
for the farmers, rails for the railroads,
copper wire for transmission lines,
silver and gold for the mints, tungsten,
molybdonite and other rare metals for
the manufacture of machinery and in
struments, zinc and lead for paints and
many other purposes, and perhaps we
will discover oil in great quantities.
We have enough coal, anthracite, biti-
minous and Ignite, to supply the en-
tire population of Colorado for many
years to come.
We have fertile lands that will pro-
duce farm products in unbelievable
quantities, II properly handled; wa
have untold acres of grass producing
ranges that turns of superior grade
cattle and other livestock for the mar
ket. We have unsurpassed scenery and
recreational facilities that challenges
any other territory in North America
for its hunting, fishing and natural
beauty Of the landscape. We have
nearly all north slope hills covered
with sturdy growth of timber that
is Of inestimable value for the COM
mercial worth as well as for its beauty
and preventative of erosion and q
governing agent in preventing floods.
We have Waunita Springs, one of the
natural wonders, with swimming pools
and hot springs with flow Of water
medicinal qualities of a
high order. We have the marble quar-
ries in the northern part of the coun-
ty which sends their products far and
wide. We have good automobile roads
to most points of interest in the coun-
ty, and above all, we have 5000 hon
orable and Industrious citizens who
are united in making this county into
q still greater county and more de-
sirable place in which to live. We
have state-supported college of
merit and ability to instruct the coming
generation. Last of all, we have
enough winter power going to waste
in Gunnison county to furnish half Of
the United States with power. Why
not awaken this slumbering giant?
The Reclamation dam nite in Tay-
lor Park could, II built, furnish .,a;,Sl
deliver power to the entire western
part Of Colorado. We could electrify
our railroads, power lines to the rural
would tighten the burd-
ems of many HOUSEWIFE and would
work on ranches and at the
saw mills. In mines electric power
would be welcome addition and
would undoubtedly be the means Of
working many low grade properties
What Gunnison county needs right
now is an awakening to the possibi1i-
ties that exist fright here at home.n
There should be revival in mining,
the live stock industry should be
furnished with, sufficient money at a
rate of interest to tide them
over the depressed period and
effort made to develop our
n tur al resources, such as
farming in the higher
attitudes on areas that are now pro-
ducing nothing in the way Of agricul-
tural products, and the electrifcation
Of Gunnison county. Finally it should
be added that lastly we need
we need Henry Ford
or Hartman, or q Jim Hill to set
things going on right moment. We
have the resources, the climate, every
thing except the finances and the VIII
10 capitalize them.

SILVER AND

Exchange:-
The exceptional strength of the lead
situation has been further demonstrat-

spot quotations to a new high marl&t
Of 500 cents pound, the highest
since April l, 1920. It is practically
double the 30-year price average Of

Silver markets have exhibited prac-
tically all the elements Of severe

Hope To Help In
Settling Strike

A number Of business and profess
sional men Of Gunnison signed the Pc
tition presented by the railroad strik-
ers recently. This petition was ad-
dressed to Governor Sweet, asking
him to use his influence to settle the
differences between the strikers and
the railroad. The petition was sent
from here to Grand Junction, and from
there it was sent TO the governor. A
meeting Of Representatives Of the
strikers, railroad interests and govern
ment officials is to be held in Chicago
the latter part Of this week.
1t is sincerely hoped that some
workable understanding will be ar
rived at in this conference. The
strike is working hardship on every
body concerned, including the long
suffering public.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
SHOULD REJECT RIVER PACT
As UNFAIR TO WEST SLOPE
San Juan Basin Takes Lead in Study. Of
Seven-State Treaty Which Bargains
Away Our lmgation Future.

The important Colorado River Pact which
is designed to bargain away water rights of
every kind in the Colorado watershed for all
future time is just beginning to receive the atten
ton it should have had long ago from leading
men of the state, and particularly the territory
affected.
News Champion has been fearful of this
pact from the first. twas written and designed
by astute men whose business interests are en-
trely opposed to ours It makes treaty, for
ever bargaining away rights of which we do not
know the meaning and value any more than
did the Indians, who sold Manhattan Island for
S24. 1t fails to mention or recognize the great
principles of return water fow which should be
the foundation of all future irrigation comprom-
ises and laws. 1t is leap in the dark which we
are asked to take faith that the capitalists of
Southern California, who know exactly what they
want, will treat us fairly in the dim future
:. Nevertheless the pact has been recommend
perts of the Eastern Slope want the Colorado
legislature to adopt it blindly owever it now
appears that Denver lawyers shrewdly wrote
into the pact, something they have longed for
this half century, but failed to achieve namely
the right to divert water thru the range for their
own territory No wonder they favor it, even tho
it puts crimp in Western Slope irrigation devel-
opment for all time.
There are other decided objections which
are just becoming recognized, and these are ably
stated by committee of leading business men
of the San Juan basin, just published. In this
connection, the San Juan students of the seven
state water treaty have secured conference in
Denver for Friday afternoon to discuss the mat
ter with the governor and legislators
The adverse report on the pact is printed in
the Durango Democrat and is here published in
part section being reserved until next week,
as it is too long for one issue If you are interest
ed in the future welfare of our valley, by all
means read this report.
