Howard Carpenter
Buried After IL Years

Funeral services for the late How
ard Carpenter will be held in Gunni-
son, Thursday afternoon, June 14th,
at 1880 o'clock at the Community
church. Since their discovery in Oc-
tober, 1921, the remains of Howard
have remained unburied, 1t being the
belief of his relatives that even yet,
although eleven years have elapsed
since his tragic Disappearance in 1912,
that evidence would come to light
Identifying his murderer.
Eighteen months ago, when the
bones, gun, pistol and other identify
ing remains were discovered on Up
per Steuben creek by a hunter who
had occasion to pass thru an un-
frequented spot on the thickly wood
ed mountainside, q coroner's inquest
was held, and many facts brought to
light, but nothing which positively
proclaimed the truth Of the matter.
Howard was a Woodman of the
World, and members of that order
are asked to attend. Rev. VIM. l.
Jones will conduct the services, and
the remains will be inferred in Mason
ic and Odd Fellows cemetery. The
fathr of the deceased, J. j. Carpen-
ter of Cebolla, was in Gunnison Tues
day, making arrangements for the
services.

BLACK MESA
Road Open

Black Mesa was officially declared
open yesterday when Herman Hay
den and Dave Davis returned with
the caterpillar tractor from smooth
ing and grading the mesa route as
far as the county line, which lies
just on the brink Of the west side
where IL dips into Crystal creek.
BLACK Mesa is in the best of condi-
tion it has ever been," stated Archer
Miller, county road overseeridentin. :?
Miller, road supervisor, to the News
Champion. This route to the East
Slope, while narrow and hardly to be
recommended for amatur drivers, is
o good road for those who know the
driving business thoroly. 1t will re-
lieve traffic this summer over the
Blue mesa; where the steam shovel
operations block the road, except
mornings before eight o'clock, ut the
noon hour and after five o'clock.
No signs of opening Kebler pass
on the Crested Butte Somerset road as
yet. This pass will probably not be
open before late June.
Monarch pass can be opened at any
time so far as the Gunnison county
side is concerned and Mr.. Miller plans
to do this early next week. If Chat
fee county will cooperate, Monarch
should be open by the 18th of June.

The most impressive part of the

dent Quigley was once the principal
of this school, and the ivy which grew
on its walls has grown from slip
which he sent while studying at Harv-

Allowance Made for Survey

Hotchkiss Tines
The amount of $3,50O> has been al
lowed by the U. s. Forest Service in
conjunction with the State Highway
Department for the survey Of the
Black Mesa highway from Curicanti
Creek to Crystal Creek. This is in
deed good news in this section of the
country and the advocates of the Black
Mesa Rim road should take steps to
advertise this coming scenic route to
the world. We are going to suggest
that pictures along the proposed route
be taken and sent to the Colorado
Highway Magazine for publication, as
many other sections of the state are
doing. These pictures would be re-
velation to the thousands of people
that recreate in the mountains, and
would pay US handsomely in the future
when this road becomes a fact which
it will.

Opening Lake City
Road to Sapiner0

From the Lake City Silver World
we learn that the Chamber of Com
merce Of that town, while not aband-
oning the proposed cutoff to the
Rainbow Route at Pine Creek, has de-
cided to bend present energies toward
making an auto highway Of the old
toll road down Sapinero mesa to the
station. A fund is being raised by
popular subscription for this improve
ment which viii be almost entirely in
Gunnison county.
Except for the climb out of the
Lake Fork canon near Gateview, the
old road can be fixed up quite cheap

grade most of the way. Some declare
it can be put in fair shape for thous-
and dollars.
This road drops into the Rainbow
Route at Sapinero, and while it would
be somewhat longer drive to Lake
City than the present route via Pow
derholn, undoubtedly might be useful
and pleasurably at times. We do not
understand that Gunnison county IL to
spend any money on the project.
which is an idea Of Lake City and Sap

PARLOR BOLSHEVIKs

We are perfectly willing to de-
nounce I'm unmeasured terms the
man who manufactures the bomb,
who occupies the soap box, and who
breathes out his anathemas against
the government. We don't seem to
understand that those characters are
the effects of a cause and OF con-
dition.
The colleges that teach COLLECTIVE
Ism. socialism, syndicalism, which
are all synonymous terms, are the
producers of the bomb maker and
the red mouth, soap box agitator.
Respectable people who open their
parlors TO the agents Of Russia are
the creators of the bolshevism that
is moving In the highest circles.
There are many rich. fashionable
women in the different cities Of the
country who throw open the doors
OF their palatial homes for drawing
room meetings at which there are
addresses given by designing
agents. Such women encourage law
lessness. They are laying the foun-
dations for attacks on this govern
ment. They are enemies of the gov
ernment, and their parlors are the
halls of conspiracy against right
eousness and representative govern
ment. The parlor bolshevik is an
Z other name for Satan.
Some OF the rich who have come
into their possessions and whose in
tellectual ability and moral stamina
and constitutional morality have not
advanced with the same degree with
which their riches have increased
are the easy prey Of the enemies Of
the government who enter their par
lors to teach the infamous doctrines
that are today menacing the whole
Of our land.
Awake, awake, idle rich who en-
courage the parlor bolsheyik in his
attack on our government No man,
no woman has constitutional right
to open his or her home to one who
speaks against the principles of our
great representative republican form
of government.
