Preparing for Tourist
Drive Next Summer

FISH in the river. To be sure, fishing
was good las; season, but il we are GO
ing to keep the Gunnison and its
tributaries before the public as the
finest fishing ground in America, we
must see that more than 4 million
trout year are placed in the streams
and they must be fingerlings, young
trout kept in retaining ponds until
they can shift for themselves when
turned into the swift streams.
| This led to the next topic by O
speaker introduced by President Ash.
ton Winslow, as q fish expert from
Pitkin.
W. II. Corum, supt- Of the state fish
hatchery at Pitkin, spoke on the neces-
/ sity of securing more retaining ponds
If we are 10 have the trout in our
streams that the increasing tourist
trade will demand. He also brought
the good news that beginning this
spring, many improvements will be
made at the Pitkin hatchery, additionS
that will make It among the leading
hatcheries in Colorado. This was
vouched for on authority by Ia letter
from X. G. Paryin of Denver, state
game and fish commissioner, who
wrote:
"As soon as weather conditions will
permit, We will have crew on the
hatchery grounds which will have
quite a building program.
The hatchery is to be enlarged and
put in first-class condition, a dwelling
house for the supt is to be erected; re-
tanning and nursery ponds are to be
built where the fry can be taken from
the hatchery troughs and placed in
the ponds which are out of doors, and
the fish allowed to grow to suitable
size for distribution when the flood
waters have subsidized and stream con-
ditions are suitable for fish planting,
and during the summer when we will
have more time to distribute.
Il am also contemplating a pond
as near the railroad track as possible,
so we may load our cans at this sta
tion. There will be numerous other
Improvements which have not been
fully outlined, but for your informa-
ton, will say that we hope to make
the Pitkin hatchery one of our princi-
pal ones, as the water conditions are
ideal.
Gas to nursery ponds in your vicini-
ty, where suitable location is found,
this department will go on $3.50 ba-
sis with any organization that cares
to interest itself in the undertaking.
trust that you will use every eff.
fort to have the road built on the
hatchery side, and that you will in
terest the Chamber of Commerce, ask
ing them to use their endeavors to
help Us, as if our plans are carried
out, good road will be one of the
essential things that will help our
hatchery"
Following Mr.. Corum, Jack Jen-
nings gave an interesting story about
the beaver and other wild animals of
the county. Jack declared that he
has it on good authority that there
were 5000 deer, 1000 elk, and hund-
reds of mountain sheep in the hills
surrounding and that it was the finest
game country on earth. He asked
for better cooperation in protecting
the game, an enlargement of the Gun
nison Game Refuge to take in part
of the Elk Mountains and the Ragged
Mountains. He also made good sux-

WELDING THE FRAGMENTS
BY JOHN CARLYLE
RE you one of those people who be-
lieve that their particular troubles

u lieve that their particular troubles
unlike those of anybody else?
Do you look with something like envy on
some of the known troubles and griefs and
perplexities of your friends? You think you
could stand up well enough under their
troubles. You think their griefs simple.
You think their ills are durable. You think
their burdens are bearable.
But you fancy that you have been singled
out for unique grief There is trouble
quite so bad as yours. There is burden
quite so heavy no shoulders quite so bowed
This is mistake of thinking common to
most OF US. Let us understand that what We
bear, others bear. What we suffer others
suffer. Our problems have been faced by
others-and solved by others
The main thing in the struggle which is
life, is not to avoid troubles, not to evade
burdens. 1t can't be done. There Is no es-
Gaping life
The main thing is not to be overcome by
is to sit down by the side Of the road and
cry.
There is no achievement in the world
without mistakes. No mistakes, no progress.
No blunders no achievement. No missteps,
no forward steps
After every disaster there are fragments
to be gathered up. Our job then is to weld
the fragments together into a new whole.
We learn to be strong by doing what we can
with little. Often the new plan, the new
life that we shape from the fragments of the
old. is a bigger, finer thing than had be-
fore. Often it is bigger and finer than any
thing We could have made or done il the
mistake had not been made, if the disaster
had not oyertaken

and mourn for what you have lost, or wheth-
er you will make up your mind to be happy
with what you have left.

THERE is such thing as a pestiferous
optimist.
Perhaps it is the mood you are in that
makes you sometimes hate the sight of
cheerful bright eyes.
The fact is, sugar Is good, but one can't
stand too much Of it; and when they put
sugar in everything, in the soup, fish, meat,
and salad, it is rather trying.
We all want pleasure. But there is an
other want, fully as imperative. We want
trouble. We may think We don't, but we do.
Tannhauser by and by could not endure
life eternal in the lap of Venus. He longed
for suffering and danger and struggle, along
with the rest of human kind.
In these times of peace We should not for
get that of the old Unborn tastes of
mankind is fighting. Boys fight as the ex-
preston of a natural instinct and girls
quarrel in their way; and grown-ups often
spoil for a row.
1t is quite the fashion these days to tell
one another to cheer up look pleasant, and
all will be well. All is good, there is no
evil, pain is nix anguish is all in your eye.
Maybe. But it grows monotonous.
1t is relief occasionally to meet the con-
frmed pessimist He clears the air. He
breathes ozone like a thunderstorm. He is
aggressively miserable. That kind of a per
son rouses you. He causes such a reaction
in you that you come away glowing with
more real cheer than you would gather in a
week.
Optimism inclines one to laziness Why
worry? Then why work?

And the tropics are full of optimism
That's why nothing is accomplished there
There is too much comfort and sunshine.
1t takes fog and rain and snow to make
men hustle.
Pessimism has been peculiarly prolific in
literature. There are Netzsche, Schopen-
hauer, 1bsen, and Omar. These fellows flip
us like cold bath. They restore the circu-
lation and make a healthy glow. They slim
ulate us into a militant, protesting happi-
ness far more active than the all-is-welI kind
of happiness.
The human heart has strange appetites
1t must have its tragedy and tears and bit
ter herbs.
Like the old woman we cloves our MUIR
ders in the morning papers. We want
blood in novels. We pay IS for a seat
in the theater when there is to be tragedy
and p cents to see a comedy. And we
want the preacher to give US fire and brim-
stone occasionally.
1t is a mistake to suppose we want to be
happy and avoid trouble. We want to be
miserable. Happiness is the reaction pleas
ant but temporary.
