County Hospital
Soon To Be Ready

The old school building in West
Gunnison is receiving a thorough go
ing over these days, which will re-
model the old building into q modern
hospital. This brick structure was pur-
chased by the county last year and
will be rejuvenated and remodeled in
every way to make a first-class and
up-to-date county hospital for Gunni-
son. Bids for the plumbing are to be
let in the near future, which calls for
installation Of steam heat and q boiler
o. cufficient capacity to make the en-
tire building comfortable. There will
also be an ofice for thc.ccuaty physis
Gan, as we'll as nn operating room.
The women's ward will be on the
second floor. There will be running
hot and cold water thiuout the build
ing and connections with the sewer
viii be completed.
Thie building, which is a substantial
one, was Constructed in 1882. The old
hospital near the power plant has
been condemned some time ago on nc
count Of having no connection with
the sewer, and likewise II was found
impossible to dig cesspools, as water
is too close to the surface, thereby
making the location unsanitary. This
old hospital will probably be sold for
some purpose when the new quarters
are completed and ready for occup-
ancy.

WEEKLY LETTER NO. I BY
ROBERT F. ROCKWELL
To the News-Ch Champion,
Gunnison, Colo,

Gunnison, Colo,
The time for the introduction Of
bills was concluded last Wednesday
night. Something over one thousand
bills were introduced in the two houses,
OF this number, probably twenty per
cent were introduced by title alone, so
that in case Of need, the bill may be
introduced later in the session. II is
debatable in my mind whether the peo-
pie made an efficient move in voting
for the initiative measure a few
years ago, whereby all bills must be
introduced during the first fifteen days
Of the legislature. Formerly bills
were introduced as the need seemed TO
be present, and the legislature began
to function Immediately after con-
vening. Under the system resulting
from the initiative measure, there Il
practically nothing done the first two
weeks Of the session, except to pile
bills on any conceivable subject which
a legislator feels might come up latsr
in the session and therefore take tn
precaution Of having some measure
whereby it might be taken care Of
under the preesnt law.
The Civil Service law is another bin
initiated by the people which is Of

the misfortune to slip on the icy side

Romance in an Old Gray
House in New York CITY

New York.-Up on Central Park,
West, in the middle sos, there is u
boarding house that is unique-abso-
lutely different from every other
boarding house in the manner in which
1t Is run and the sort of people who
live there. 1t is an old-fashioned gray
brick house with a corner tower and
1t was founded" (for It Is an institu-
tion) by three southern sisters.
During the twenty-odd years they
have been taking paying guests"
they have introduced modicum Of
sympathy and understanding and
friendliness into their home far above
most boarding houses.
Two of the sisters have gone to their
reward, but the third sister remains
at the helm.
The house has a reputation in the
South, from Washington, d. c., to Key
West; from White Sulphur to Calves
ton. And many southern father
who would not otherwise let his
daughter come along to wicked New
York, feels that she Is perfectly safe
at the old gray house in Central Park,
West.
