wv" On TenderfOOt
Mountain Soon to
Receive Renovation

AS the spring advances, an OCCASION
al peep is secured of the gigantic
"W" on Tenderfoot mountain across
the Tomichi, the largest w in the
world, and placed there by students
of Western State College, who spent
one long, never-to-be-forgotten Satur-
day of 1928, carrying rock, mixing
whitewash and laboriously construct
ing the four legs Of the "W'', four
hundred feet high and three hundred
feet wide.
Autumn and winter SHOWS have fad
ed the glaring whiteness, and it be-
comes the duty of each succeeding
Freshman class, boys and girls, to
wander far afield across the Tomichi.
up the almost vertical sides of Tender
foot and whitewash that w. The
time approaches. We shall expect to
zee them at it before long.

Grand Band Concert
for March Twentieth

Did you know that Gunnison has a
forty-piece orchestra of the Philhar-
Inonic type? Our college High School
orchestra can give US high class en-
teftainment equal to what the resi-
dents of many large cities have an
opportunity to hear?
The College High School orches-
tra will give a program at the Com
munity Church on Thursday evening,
March goth at 500 o'clock. Admis-
sion will be fifty cents for adults and
thirty-five for children. The orchestra
will be accompanied by Miss Redding
on the pipe organ. As special feat
ure, Miss Genevive Ross Of Montrose,
will play a violin solo. Many Gun
nison people who know Miss Ross will
be glad to hear her again. The pro-
gram will also contain violin quartet
(unaccompanied), saxaphone quartet
q vocal colo with flute obligato, a read
ing and several very impressive num-
bers by the whole assembly. Prob
ably Gunnison has never had an op-
portunity to hear finer, more diver
sified program.
For the purpose of advertising the
advantages that are available at Gun
nison, to the people Of the Western
half Of Colorado, the Philharmonic
Orchestra composed of College and
High School students, will depart or
a tour Tuesday, March 25th. The
tour will include Montrose, Delta
Hotchliss and Cedaredge, where con-
certs have been scheduled. This or
chestra, the largest musical organiza-
ton in the school, will give a high
class, diversified program in eacn town
The program under the direction OF
IF. Geo. Damson, will include sketch
which will be supervised by Mrs
Kathryn F. Damson.
The series Of concerts which the
orchestra will give in the various
towns Of the Western Slope will arouse
much interest among prospective stu
dents, again this year. The orches-
tra tour conducted last year brought
many students to Western, judging
from the themes written by the stu
dents in the English department.
Gunnison should appreciate the ef-
forts Of the musicians IN theDrchestrs
to raise and advertise the standardl
Of achievement set by our college and
high school

GUMn|SON STOCKMEN CARRY THE LOCAL
GRAZING CONTROVERSY TO WASHINGTON
HOW ABOUT A CELEBRA-
TION IN JUNE?

What do you think of having
q Western Slope celebration to
mark the completion Of the high
bridge at Sapinero about the first
week in June! At that time,
the cement floor should be COM
pleted- Some have suggested
that it would be possible to Sc
cure canvas from the State Highs
way department to cover it for
dancing. With a band and good
roads, and something TO eat. the
stage would be set, since this
bridge is tremendous affair,
wonderful scenic attraction, and
people are already talking about
it from all over Colorado. Mont
rose, Delta, Ouray and San Mig
uel people are as much interest.
ed as We are, for their citizens
use this part of the Rainbow
Route even more than Gunnison
folks.
1t is rather up to Gunnison
county to take the lead in this
matter, and News-C Champion has
already heard it talked about q
good deal.

Only n small portion of the vast

However, as stated, there is probably
half a million acres that is in contro-

had been very poorly of late, following
a severe attack of the flu.
Mr.. Hazelhurst was probably one of
the best known and well liked en-
gineers on the Rio Grande system, hav-
ing spent practically all his life in
the railroad employ, living at Gunni-
son, Crested Butte, Cimarron and
other places in Gunnison county for
something like thirty years or more.
He was married to Miss Leila Estes,
three children blessing the union, OF

Castle Gate, Utah, was the scene Of
a major mining catastrophe Saturday
morning, when shortly after the day
shift Of 173 men had gone on, three
great explosions not only destroyed
the mine and killed every one of the
miners, but blew the front of the en-

all trace Of the name checks, so that
identification Of the victims has been
impossible in dozen of instances.

Republican statesmen of the county
gathered Saturday afternoon at the
court house to select delegates for the
first state convention Of this presidep-
tial year. Judge Spigg Shackleforl
was elected chairman and Carlton Sills
made secretary. The principal busi-
ness appearing was the selection Of
eight names to attend the state con-
vention at Colorado Springs this
week Tuesday. Judge Shackleford,
r. M. Nourse, I. P. Hogan, ]. ".
Haymaker, w. 7. Hartman, Mrs. Mel
lie r. Summers, Mrs. j. M. Thornell
and Miss Martha c. Brown were selec-
tion. Judge Nourse being the only
one available to go, he left Monday
with the proxies of the other seven.
The Republican party in Colorado
seems fortunate in being united OF.
Coolidge without split in party
ranks, but has its share of senatorial
troubles. Judge Hazlett p. Burke Of
the state supreme court has announced
his candidacy against Lawrence C.
Phipps for the long term as senator,
and that means some scrap.
