WEST SLOPE COUNTIES UNIT

That this portion Of Western Colo

ously in favoring the Santa Fe as the
logical road to take over the Rio
Grande, seems now 70 be assured In
fact, counties like Montrose and Delta
are even more reused about The mat
ter than Gunnison, for their losses In
the past years, due to insufficient ser
vice have been enormous. Here in
Gunnison, public opinion seems pretty
generally settled upon the Idea that Of
the three systems, the Burlington, the
Missouri Pacific or the Santa Fe, one
Of which will undoubtedly get the Rio
Grande, that the Santa Fe is the
strongest, and would be far the more
likely to give Us q square deal and .
boost toward real railroad service
again. However, there has 10 far been
no very active work done in the mat
ter. The Burlington Is . strong road,
but it wants the Crande as Q bEideo

Gunnison, Colo.
The most interesting bit Of news
around the Legislature this week was
the compromise between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans on single bill
to take the place of the Lambert conso-
lidation bill and the Sweet administra-
tive code bill. Either bill wss blocked
without an agreement and the Repub-
licans wanted 70 put Sweet in hole
by making him veto their bill. Gov
ernor Sweets determined stand and
the action Of House Democrats caused
the Republicans to agree on COM
promise and as q result measure will
be worked out that viii pass the legis-
lature and be signed by the governor.
OF course to accomplish this, both
sides must sacrifice some Of their
points, but in the long run it will work
out best for everyone.
Because Of the fact that Republicans
had all Of the administration bills tied
mp in committee, the Democratic meui-
hofB Of the House launched Q drive
Monday morning that brought results.
Notice was filed that . report Has
wnntod q tie administrative cod Glll,
In ~ hours the Judiciary committes
would have . report or ark TO be az

the COMMITTEES from reporting, Repub-
licans were afraid that they could not
hold their forces in line, and rs .
result, they were quick to seek . com
promise.
| understand there is much worry
concerning the six million dollar bond

abling these bonds to be issued was
passed by TIE house this week. Nov

Mr.. Rear wouldn't tell his family
where the cave was-the cave that he
had found and In which he intended
10 take his maps. He would only say
that II was less than quarter of a
mile away,
or course Mrs. Bear and the chill
dren would have liked 20 see this
cave. MIR, Bear had said II was a
small one. So cuffy and silkia
thought II would he a fine place 10

often felt that II would do her world

and then and pass an hour or two In
restfnl place like that.
But Mr.. Bear made a great mys-
terry OF the whole affair. He said
that II others wanted caves, let them
go and find them, as he had done.
And then something happened that
bothered Mr., Bear a good deal. He
took a nap In his cave ono day. and

finished a meal there was never any
thing left of it.
Mr.. Bear was very glum because
he had missed his dinner. He talked
to no one--after he had taken one
look at the table, and let out one roar
of disappointment.
That was not at all like Mr.. Bear.
When things didn't go to suit him he
usually stormed about the den and
acted as If he would never be calm
again.
Mrs. Bear knew that his silence
could mean only one thing: He was
thinking deeply, bordering over some
weighty matters.
At last she found out what it was.
Mr.. Bear called Cuffy to him. took

COOKING MADE EASY
FOR JUNE BRIDES
BY BERTHA Il. SHAPLEIGH
or Columbia University

June. the month of JOY for brides
and sweet girl graduates, may end In
days of gloom and disappointment for
the same sweet brides and graduates
if they fail in the important art OF
preparing dainty wedding breakfasts
or luncheons. 1t is one of the strin-
gent tests friends put on the young
housewife, and one for which every
girl should prepare herself.
There will be many young house
keepers who will have to do all the
planning and cooking alone. or with
little help. For these I would sug-
gest a. simple menu which can be per-
feet in its way and yet not too firing
for the one who prepares the food.
For example, the following:
Breakfast
Fresh Pineapple and Strawberries
ar
Strawberries
Fresh Salmon Croquettes
with Green Peas
Chicken Croquettes with Asparagus
Hot Rolls
Spanish Cream Angel Cakes
Coffee
The pineapple should be cut up
into sections, leaving on the skin.
Alternate these sections with large,
ripe Strawberries, having the hulls
left on, around mound of pow
lered sugar. Some green leaves,
such as laurel, are attractive for gar
nish With the asparagus, If served,
have a Holandaise sauce, which is
made by cooking over water egg
youks and butter with lemon juice,
using one-haf cup of butter. two egg
yolks and one tablespoon lemon juice.
Cook until smooth and thick. Or
melted butter, with lemon Juice and
salt, is lust as good but not so at
tractive as the thick yellow sauce.
Bridennaids' Luncheon.
(Color scheme: Pink and green)
Cream of Pea Soup
Bread Sticks Olives Radishes
Rolled 17illets of Halibut
with Lobster or Shrimp Sauce
Broiled Chicken
Savory Rice Croquettes
Buttered Asparagus
Pistachio Ice Cream
with Crushed Strawberries
Small Cakes Frosted
with Pink Frosting
Coffee (small cup, black)
Another selection for a bridesmaids
luncheon may be the following:
Chicken Bouillon Tin cups, with a
little whipped cream on top)
Assorted Cold Meat
Dreamed Potatoes au Gratin
Hot Rolls or Biscuits
Strawberry Ice Cream
Small Cakes Gomez
For the assorted cuts of meat have
chicken, The water in which the
chicken is cooked will give the bouil-

INSISTS FLOOD OF
LIQUOR NO DREAM
Confessed Rum Runner Tells Of
Border Smuggling
by The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
Chicago. May 26-The Chicago rum
runner who accompanied w. ;. For
man on the investigation OF the
Ecorse, Mich, smuggling shacks de-
scribed in series of articles In the
Chicago Daily New today made this
statement to the Associated Press:
II have been bringing whiskey out
of these shacks and delivering 1t 10
my customers in Chicago constantly
for two years without interference
from the authorities, who now deny
that any such wholesale traffic exists.
| am only one of the many rum run
ners from many states who have been
doing the same thing. l have seen
runners there from as far west as Ne
braska and Oklahoma.
1--WE never said or intended to say
that within the city of Ecorso itself
there are four miles of these shacks.
What Mr.. Formans article did say
was that they extend for four miles
along the American shore. AS mat
ter OF fact they extend farther than
four miles.
100000 Gallons Day.
II vas present with Mr. 1forman
when a Detroit newspaper man men,
toned the estimate of 100000 gal
Ions of booze crossing the line per
day. Nobody, least Of all the news
paper man himself, maintained that
estimate was accurate. Mr.. Forman
in his article gave the figure merely
as an estimate. | am inclined to
think it may have exceeded the esti-
mate of 100000 gallons on some days
and fallen far below on others.
"The reported statement by the
prohibition director for Michigan that
the activities of the smugglers have
been confined to about four blocks or
shacks in Ecorse is an absurdity. If
it were true, and his men had made
any effort at all to stop the traffic, not
a rum runner could have escaped
from Ecorsc with a cargo. To leave
these shacks with an autom obile 1t is
necessary to drive across strip OF
open sand and come out on paved
street.
Has Lost Count.
II have made so many trips out
of these shacks with automobiles
loaded with whiskey that l have lost
count. On one car ran up a mileage
of over 10000 between Ecorse and
Chicago. ! never was arrested in
Ecorse. / was caught once in a town
far west Of there.
Mr.. Forman's statement is correct
that while we were In those shacks
on our recent visit, buying whiskey
and bringing it out of there for my
customers in Chicago, we did not see
single federal man, state policeman
or local authority lift a finger to stop
us. In two days and two nights In
the shacks on the water front we did
not see any prohibition boats pass up
or down the river.
IF the traffic is languishing as the
prohibition director wants us TO be-
lieve il is due to the fact that the
Canadian smugglers are robbing the
rum runners blind and we have found
other sources where we can get our
supplies at a more reasonable price.
For instance. have to pay $50 per
case for a certain Scotch whiskey at
Sunnyside, ont, and ! have to pay
American smugglers IS per case for
bringing it across the line, making 1t
SOS laid down to me on the American
shore. | can buy the same whiskey
in the Bahamas for SIS per case
and / can bring 1t through, too make
no mistake about that.

TO ABOLISH OFFICE
Veterans Bureau Headquarters in
New Haven is to be Merged With
the One i'm Hartford.

Derby, May 26.-Congressman p.
i. O'Sullivan received word from
Washington last night that the vet
orans' bureau plans TO abolish its Of
fee in New Haven and merge 1t with
the Hartford office. The information
received by the congressman was that
similar consultations were to be car
ried out throughout the country I'M
der orders of Frank r. Hines, federal
director of the veterans bureau in an
effort to curtail expenses.
Congressman OSullivan said he
had telegraphcd to Director Hines
asking that the proposed abandon
ment of the New Haven office be
postponed until he can visit WASH
ington and present "cogent reasons"
why the New Haven office should be
maintained. Mr.. O'Sullivan said he
had talked to Congressman John Q.
Tilson on the subject. The New Ha-
ven veterans bureau handles three
times as many cases as the Hartford
district office, according to Mr.. O'Sul-
Ivan, and has better railroad facili-
ties for reaching the men under its
Jurisdiction
