New Curbing on
Main Street Going
Forward Rapidly

Work is going forward rapidly on
the concrete curbings and cutters be-
ing laid on the two blocks Of Main
Street between Tomichi and Georgia
Avenues. At the August meeting Of
the town council, an ordinance was
passed requiring property holders in
these two blocks to provide standard
curbing and cutters. The work is to
be done at the expense of the proper
ty owners. except for the engineering
work, which will be done by the city.
This will indeed be a fitting inn
provement to match our new lighting
system, and will be of inestimable
value aside from the improved appear
ance Of the street. Gunnison soil
lends itself especially well to growing
grass, and with the abundance Of
water from the uncurbed bitches, our
''main stem" has long presented the
appearance of fourishing hay field.
The new cutters will also greatly
facilitate automobile parking, be more
easily kept clean and tidy than the
old cobbled or turf cutters.

BE SURE YOUR CAMP
FIRE IS ExTlNGUISHED

Lack of rains this summer has
created . serious fire emergency
on the Gunnison National Forest
and local forest officers arc now
considering the closing Of areas
Of high FIRE danger to all persons
except those who have business
within these areas. All campers
and persons who have occasion
to use the Forest should use ex-
treme care with their camp hre,
cigarettes. ETC., and be absolutely
sure that their camp fires are out
before leaving camp.
Sheriff Hanlon Is the county
fire warden for Gunnison County
and care with fire is just as es-
sential outside of National
Forest as inside, as all expenses
for fires outside of a National
Forest in Colorado must be paid
by the counties. The FIRE of
August 9 to IL near Bowie, which
covered an area of about 1000
acres, will cost Gunnison and
Delta Counties each about $3.50,
and this money comes out Of the
pockets Of the taxpayers unless
the guilty party can be convicted
and be made to reimburse the
counties.
All forest rangers on the Gun
nison Forest have been instruct
ed to be hard boiled with any
body who leaves q camp fire un-
extinguished or starts fire in
any other way, and parties will
be given a chance to tell it to the
judge.

4. S. EXTER IS

A record unsurpassed in railroad cir
cles is that of A. S. -Exter, who will
retire from the service of the Denver
4 Rio Grande Western railroad this
month, after over forty-two years as
train dispatcher, without scratch on
his record.
Mr.. Exter is the oldest dispatcher
on the system, which is of itself a
remarkable distinction, and the fact
that his record is entirely clear of
any dement's sets mark for efficient
and faithful service hard to equal.
With the exception Of a year or
two in the eighties, when he acted as
operator at Leadville. his entire SER
vice has been on the Third or Gunni-
son Division, with headquarters at
Salida and Gunnison. He entered the
Salida Office on April 28. 1882, when
the two divisions were under Joint
operation. About 1885 he was pro-
NOTED from operator to train dis
patcher and has held this position ebn-

A forest fire was reported Wedres-

THE SUPREME COURT AND
THE MINIMUM WAGE
Continued from Page 81

Continued from Page 81
recognize none Of these facts as inn
portant.
The court points out that the wage
is fixed according TO the opinion of
the wage board and its advisers and
bears no relation to what a woman
earns or to the work she does. But
this type of wage law makes specific
provision for investigation in each
case before the wage for a particu-
lar industry is fixed. Hearings are
held. Advisers representing the in
dustry consult with the board. The
wage finally set comes as near being
carefully considered as such things
can be. If it is a matter of opinion
ON the part of the board and its adj
visers it would seem to be much bet
ter than wage set according to the
opinion of only one person, the en-
poyer himself, as is so often the
case where no minimum wage law
exists. As to the claim that there is
no direct connection between the wage
set and what is earned, it may be
pointed out that the law makes ex-
Ieeptions for inefficient workers. An
industary which actually cannot af-
ford to pay living wage to an or
binary adult woman working a full
day is not an industry which deserves
much consideration from the point of
view of public interest.
There are several other statements
made in the courts decision which are
of much interest, but concerning
which the limitations of space borbid
mort than mere mention. Most i'm
portant among them, and one which
has already loosed a great cry among
the spokesman of organized labor, is
Justice Sutherlard's dictum that there
is no difference, in principle, be-
tween the price of labor and the price
of other goods. Many people will
also question whether a minimum
wage law really is a dangerous ex-
tension of the police power.
Those who have confidence in the
efficacy of our law as a protector of
the economically weak are not likely
to find overmuch comfort in a Su-
preme Court which APPLIES the prin.
ciples of free contract and equal pro-
lection of the laws in such way as
1t did on April 8.

BUSINESS REALTY
GETS STIMULUS
FROM WOODWARD
Industry Shows To Ad-
vantage Over Other
Sections

Downtown realty received impetus
during the past week by the publication
of building plans by H. G. Woodward.
Although first announcement carried
the report of additional stories on the
Woodward building, it is understood
that this project has practically been
abandoned and the construction pro-
gram will find form rather in a IT.
floor edifice where the Metropolitan
hotel now stands. The first seven
floors of this building, according to re-
ports, will be utilized for hotel while
the upper stories are to furnish addi-
tional office space as an annex to the
Woodward building.
This work, with a number of other
building planss, which threaten to pop
out, should relieve lack of office space
somewhat. An example of how this
situation is hampering the city is re-
ported by one industrial head who de-
clares he knows of a dozen firms who
have been unable to locate headquarters

project has shown little signs of ad-

some developments are. expected soon,
Major General Sibert's position in the
matter is still a trifle vague and al
though it persists that he will be here
either Tuesday or Wednesday, due to
absence of George Gordon Crawford,
chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
committee, said to be bringing him here,
nothing with any great degree of as
surance has been announced.
Shows To Advantage
lndustrially the district continues to
show at an advantage over other GEN.
tiers. This condition is attracting some
attention elsewhere and it is noticeable
that trade papers which have been un-
able to collect optimistic news in the
north are turning, to Birmingham.
Some particular favorable comment is
found in the recent issues of the Daily
Metal Trade Journal, an organ which
is rated as authority in its field.
The iron mart is evincing signs of
life and dealers express confidence that

at hand and from now on orders will
become heavier. So.

CAPITAL EXPANDED
BY COLBY COMPANY
Decorators Now Have 100000
Firm-FOrmerly $4,000

Exemplifying a well-managed bust
ness, The Colby Decorating company,
GA Lyric building, has expanded its
capital 100000 to care for substan-
tial surplus built up by the concerns.
This expansion is all the more re-
markable when it is considered that ten
years ago, at the time the firm was
first organized, it had but a small
working fund. Later this was en-
larged to $4,000, where the figure has
stood until the recent step, which made
it a 100000 concern.
The Colby company, which caters to
exclusive residential, theatre and hotel
contracts, is well-known throughout the
south. Approximately IS per cent of
its business is conducted outside of
Birmingham, the company finding par
ticular favor in the more prosperous
sections of the Carolinas.
Officials of the organization are !:
G. D. Colby, president; HI. II. Hawkins
vice president, and w. e. Colby, secre
tary and treasurer.
