SOME PATENT

l.. M. Hankins, rancher of Glencoe
Park, has applied for patent that
places him in a class by himself. The
patent applied for is for a contriv-
ance to place in the side of your
dairy COW, or any COW or calf you
wish to pasture on alfalfa The de-
vice is small, and all you have to do
is to take out your jack-knife and
punch hole in the cows paunch at
the place you usually stick her for
bloat, place this automatic gas vent
in the hole, turn the COW loose in
alfalfa up to her knees and your
troubles are over.
Mr.. Hankins has demonstrated his
bloat device by using iron pipe, but
the chemicals in the cows stomach
soon eats up the pipe. The latest
models are made of aluminium. Mr..
Hankins says you can place one of
these in COW and leave it there
for the rest of her life. Pasture her
on alfalfa all spring and summer.
Mr.. Hankins has been advised that
his patent is worth a million dollars,
if it works, as the dairy industry
would receive new impetus from the
fact that cows could be pastured on
green alfalfa fields, a permanent and
easy-grown pasture. : Nucla Inde-

LEsT WE FORGET

Let us draw apart the curtain of
the past six or seven years. Look at
the picture that hangs on memory's
wall The faces of the women wear
wan forced smiles; the spring has
gone from the steps of men, fever
ishly the newspapers are scanned for
the story of how went the night in
the Argonne, or the battle near
Nancy. ivs - r
Our boys are over there; our hearts,
our prayers, all but the bodily she'll
of the United States is over there.
Today the boys are home-part of
them-they jumped from youth into
serious men; the very happiest days
of care-free youth were exchanged
for nights Of horror . s--e
1t is now the fifth Memorial Day
since the end of the World War. Time
has assuaged the grief of parent
hearts, wives have taken up life
anew but the American Legion does
not forget. There are $4,000 graves
of the war dead in France, buddied
all, black and white.
For the week proceeding Memorial
Day MAY 30) the Auxiliary to Bruce
Frew Post American Legion, will
have sale of poppies The boys are
firm in the belief that everyone will
want to wear poppy on that day,
to silently honor the living and the
dead, the young manhood garnered to
the ranks of the hallowed G. A. R.
The flowers will be sold for trifle.
From the sale of these tiny SYM
bols of mems warm heart-blood, good
use will be made of the money the
pennies add.
Watch for them on the streets.
Buy one.

ANOTHER J. f. PHILLIPS LETTER
Fullerton, Calf, NAV Q, 1928.

--- fuhShtNH, Sdiil., MAY ., 1910.
Editor Empire:-Mr. James Groen-
dyke, who lived in Los Angeles for
the last ten years, passed over the
great divide from whence no one re-
turns, short time ago. To the pres
ent generation he was unknown in
your county, but in the decade from
1880 to 1890 no one was better known
around Crested Butte and Irwin than
Jimmie Groendyke. He with his
brother Samuel, right out from their
parental home in Lafayette, Ind,
went into the Gunnison country with
the writer in the spring of 1850.
Like all young fellows who braved
that frontier trip they were ready to
turn their hand to anything. The
winter of 'SO-'S1 was hard one on
those who remained in Irwin and
Crested Butte. With no railroad
nearer than the present town of Sa-
Ida, and the snow too deep for wag-
ons to haul supplies, they naturally
were short by spring, and if winter
had hung on for another month some
one might have gone hungry. Jim
my conceived the idea of bringing
in the first stock of fresh groceries.
He arrived in Crested Butte with
wagon loads as early as the road could
be opened from Jacks Cabin up in
the spring of 81, expecting to open
store. So keen were the people
for fresh supplies that before he
could unload, the people bought from
the tail gate of the wagons until he
was sold out. He often told me he
had hams to sell and because his price
was commensurate with the high
freight rates, the citizens were going
to hang him for charging 50 much.
Jimmie liked the excitement OF
frontier life and was ever to the front
in Cripple Creek in '93 and in Gold
field, Nevada, in 1900, mining, running
store, etc. Accumulating a COM
petence he came to Los Angeles ten
years ago, and died here last week at
the age of 65. Samuel Groendyke
was the first telegraph operator in
Crested Butte. About 1884 he married
the adopted daughter of Capt. Geo.
A. Jackson. who at that time resided
there. If you remember Captain
jackson, was the man who first dis
covered gold on Chicago Creek, near
Idaho Springs in 1859, said to be the
first gold discovery in Colorado.
Captain jackson, his wife, daugh-
ter Nina and the ado.,ted dauehter
Maggie, all lived in Crested Butte
in the eighties, and afterwards went
to Ouray to reside. There Nina was
married to Mark Atkins. Captain
Jackson was accidentally killed by
the discharge of a shot gun about
1900, down in Dolores county. Sam
my Groendyke, who married the adopt
ed daughter moved to Salt Lake,
where two sons born to them, grew
up and became useful citizens. One
of them l think now fills an import
ant position on the Oregon Short
Line railroad. Mrs. Groendyke died
in Salt Lake years ago, while Sammy
died in Los Angeles about five years
ago.
Thus it is that I am living to re-
cord the passing of more of the Gun
rison pioneers. Very Truly,
J. E. PHILLIPS.
