Gunnison, May so, 1904.


Dear Mary
Today is Decoration Day. and ] feel
kind of blue, so guess I'll while away
the time writing to you. Wish l
could see you instead of writing. Am
alone today, as Helen and the boy
went to town to take in Memorial Day
exercises. Helen doesn't like country
life and beats it" for town at every
chance.
l think am going to like ranching
fine. The house and other buildings
need fixing, but the view is lovely.
We are just little ways from a
stream and Jack goes out every even
ing and catches a few trout.
l like to look out of the kitchen win
dow at the distant hills. They are SO
pretty just now, all decked out in
spring colors. And there is certainly
plenty of sound. We have a coyote
orchestra with prairie dog accompani-
ment. They tune up every night just
about the time Jack goes to sleep.
We get our mail every day and to-
day ] got an invitation TO n "left- hand
party" given by Mrs. George Estes
and daughters, Misses Bessie and
Dosia. Wish I could go. They have
a guest, Miss Lois Strain, of Grand
Junction visiting them.
A young lady named Anna Probas-
co, Of Ouray, is visiting Rena Trevar-
then.
Also got the Gunnison papers. My!
they seemed just like old friends. I
see in one them an account Of the big
blowout Bowerman had to celebrate
its first election. I. j. Kane was
elected mayor.
The lady who lived next door in
town wrote short letter. She was
getting her small daughter ready for
a party. Little Johnny Clifford was
celebrating his birthday.
Helen was invited to Velma East
mans birthday party, and ] told her
she could stay in town il she wanted
to-. Might as well. as she has to at
tend the high school graduation ex-
ercises tomorrow night. Julia Red

sALIDA PEOPLE WANT
A. MUNICIPAL BAND

Salida people undoubtedly appre-
ciate music. At the recent visit Of our
college-hiyh school band they enter
tained the forty members most royalty,
free of charge and last week n petit
tion signed by eighty citizens was pre-
sented TO Mayor Buchanan requesting
funds to establish q municipal band.
However. His Honor referred them 10
the school board Of Salida. stating:
"The people rush to the city council
for everything he said. "and our in.
come is too limited to take care OF
everything. We do the best we can
with all such requests. II occurs to
me, however, that this Is purely an
educational matter and rests with the
school system. The teaching Of band
music in the public schools would be
beneficial to US all. II would make
the band a permanent thing, not only
because it would be part OF the currl-
culum, but also because We would al,
ways have players TO draw on TO MI
up the city band.

A PLEA FOR POPPY DAY

(Jas B. Campbell)
Oh. cherish the flag with the stars of
blue
And its wonderful stars Of gold,
They stand for the men who stood for
you;
When a gold star fell star Of blue
Filled up the breach till their work
was through,
The story should never grow old.
oh. cherish the flag with the stars of
And the pitiful stars Of gold.
The gold ones gave and they gave and
And all that a man gave, they gave
These stars shins down en- q martyrs
And your grief must never grow cold.
Oh, cherish the flag with the stars Of
gold
And the myriad stars Of blue,
These stars Of blue who were there to
give;
Their very lives they offered to give
So that all that you hold dear might
live,
Yes, il need be, to die for you.
And our hearts can add yet another
star,
One that's stained with blood-like
red,
1t stands for the blind and the crippled
lads
Who were fighting there in your stead.
They took the wounds and the bullets
And the suffering all for you,
Oh, cherish the flag with the stars Of
gold
And its stars of red and blue.

High School Class Play
Was Big Success

The high school senior class play,
held last Friday evening at the col
lege. was one Of the best plays staged
at Western for some time. Each
part was perfectly learned, leaving no
breaks in the story, and was well act
ed by the nine characters.
Ruth Wolfe took the part Of the
girl in a very charming manner; Col.
Mckee, as the practical. businesslike
swain, was exceedingly good. even If
he did lose the girl in the end. Fred
Stull, the vagabond lover. who was
really not intending to fall in love,
because no girl could be expected to
keep up with him, finally returned
with all his references as to social
and financial standing to claim the
lovely maiden. He even gave in to
having large wedding. "Stiles" and
"Ellen." played by Jas. Parsons and
Lemorah Anderson, were typical SER
wants, and are to be commended for
their dramatic work. Mary Hurley,
as the middle-agcd and correct aunt,
played her part very well, while Will
lie Calkins, as the father of the girl,
gave an excellent performance. Helen
Foster did wonderfully as the grand
mother Of the business-like Edwar!
Andrews. John Knowles as little
brother, was the fun Of the play, be-
ing quite like the usual small boy who
enjoys his sisters beaux.
The story itself was entertaining,
telling of modern, unsatisfied
young lady who almost believes her
self in love with practical boy. She
surely could love him but for his ex-
acting way of always doing the COM
monplace and proper. He is deter
mined to win her, SO plans to kidnap
her. But there Is no romance in his
makeup and he takes his grand
mother into his confidence. while
a strange man whom he hires,
kidnaps the girl for him. She
Is quite disgusted with him and falls
in love with the stranger, who can tell
such wonderful stories Of his life.
They eventually marry, leaving poor
Mr.. Andrews to bewail his loss.
