An Indian Story that Accounts for the
Face on Tenderfoot


Many years ago, when the Ute.s
roamed this part of Gunnison county
they had kind chief whose name WAS
Colorou.
One summer morning an Indian
came into camp. The other Indians
came and gathered around him.
Il came here to tell you sad news
he said.
"What is it! What is il ?" they cried.
"Our we'll known and loved chief is
dead" he said.
No one spoke. Their heads were
hanging low, and some Of them were
weeping.
About week later some one sug-
gested that they should have some
way to remember their chief. They
decided that they would grub the sage
brush away to make face. They
went over on Tenderfoot and did this.
"He may be dead, but he will al
ways be with u.s." they said. This
accounts for the face on Tenderfoot.

JUMPS ON
OUR COLLEGE

The report of the special Legislative
committee, consisting of Representa-
tiyes Caikins, Hcadlee and Eubanks,
appointed TO investigate state institu-
tons, has appeared, and il would
seem from the report that the commit
tee was determined in advance that il
would assail the Western State Col
lege, whether It did any other portion
of its job or not. At least half Of the
report is devoted to alleged short-com-
ings Of the college here and only an
occasional paragraph to the Universi-
~, Teachers College and School of
Mines, which omission the committee
declares is due to the fact that it had
no uaGa on these institutions. Appar-
emily the special auditors sent over re-
Gently were for the same express pur-
pose of assailing our school and no
other. The committee says: at Is
very unfortunate that this committee
has not the time at its disposal to
look into conditions prevailing at the
other state institutions and that the
Auditor of State had not the time To
compile the figures bearing upon these
other institutions for our use in this
report Unfortunate, indeed. How
that 1--WE feel sure. however, from in
formation we have been able to obtain
that waste and eXtrayagence prevail
IN other state institutions. For in
stance, we would direct your attention
TO an item Of So ,699.0l expended two
years ago by the University Tor the
purpose of putting over a constitu-
tional amendment TO raise the con-
To- Hrn
four mills to FIVE mills" The report
does not Iurther state that the Univer-
sity has hogged about four-fifths OF
this additional money.
I The report severely criticizes the
Western College for alleged ''unbusi-
HcssiIke management" 1t declares
that the summer school should be self
sustaining, whereas, il is said to have
run in the hole these last two years
TO the tune of Sls,ls3.39, which is
part of the present deficiency. 1t al
I so states that the cafeteria has been
run without charging enough for the
meals, and is s5,l7o.50 in the red.
Also the athletic department cost the
state S4,79+.S9, which in the opinion
/ OF the committee, should have been
/ self-sustaining, aitho the committee
does not compare it with other schools
where the athletic department ex-
penses make our school look like a
piker.
I The last paragraph of the report
then hands bouquet to President
Quigley, complimenting him for spend
ing over $4,000 of his own money to
assist enterprises of the college. This
paragraph is quoted in full by Rep
resentative Cowan in his weekly let
ter from Denver
An excellent recommendation of the
report is that permanent committee
be empowered to spend considerable
time investigating all the state instr
buttons during these next two years
and to be prepared to make an i'm
partial report to the next general as
sembly. This will undoubtedly be
done.

CAUCUS TONIGHT
Continued from Page One)

the House, they concede that the out
look is not so clear in the Senate and
that the big fight will be in that
branch.
The report of the education COM
mittee is awaited with some interest
or the Brewster Resolve, somewhat
similar to the Barwfse bill. but APP
plying only to sectarian schools and
! educational institutions.
The act iRAEssluced by Senator AL
len of York to establish u teachers
retirement system will probably be
reported in new draft this week by
the committee On education. In the
new draft. the .aEs will he provided
as 60 instead Z V5. At the hearing
on the act opposition was voiced by
Attorney FQhly StuEgis OF Portland
representing the j1nRance companies
and l.. NJ IAans Qf rtla nd. an insur-
ance agent. The$6N was formulated
in the office of the State superinten-
dent of schools in answer to press
I inG demand on the part of the teach
et's who strongly presented their case
at the hearing.
Another committee report which
will undoubtedly come in this week.
is that of the. library committee on
the act to create State commission
on archaeology consisting OF the
stage librarian. the State superin-
tcndent of schools and the curator of
the State museum. This measure
calls for no appropriation. no Oppo-
sition developed at the nearing and
there is feeling that TIL, committee
will report fought to pass" on it.
The bill is primarily for the preser-
walton Of archaeological relics in the
State, which in past years have been
found and carried out of the State in
large numbers due to the fact that
there was no supervision Of the relic
hunters.
Among other matters coming be-
fore the Legislature will be the bill
abolishing the Sea and Shore Fish
cries Commission and creating
commissioner Of sea and shore fish
cries. This measure at the hearing
had the support of Elk Senator Aaron
A. Cole of Eliot, the head of the Cole
committee. The debate in the House
on Wednesday is expected to involve
the entire administration Of the Sea
and Shore Fisheries Department since
the change to a three-man commits
sion in 1917.

veto messages, left over from last
