STEELE UNABLE TO
TAKE COLLEGE POSITION

John Steele has refused the propo-
sition as local trustee of the State
Normal School board which Governor
Sweet rendered him. After wiring
the governor last Saturday that he
would like a few days to consider, Mr..
Steele came to the conclusion Wednes-
day of this week that his business
would not allow him to spend the
time required and wired his refusal of
the place.
This is source of much regret to
citizens generally, who were unanim-
Gus in requesting Mr.. Steele to accept.
It is not xnown what Gov. Sweet
now has in mind. Before the tender
of the place to Mr.. Steele, . petition
had been signed by nearly every per-
son who could be seen during the
short time allowed in Gunnison. Cres-
ted Butte and along the ranch val
leys endorsing e. G. Palmer for tbs
place. Mr. Palmer, also would have
been enimently satisfartou tor trus-

MINING PICKING UP
IN GUNNISON COUNTY

Have you noted that for some
time an interesting article about
local mining each week? These
articles are authoritive and the,
outlook encouraging. For many
years precious metal mining has
been almost a dead issue here
abouts, but We all remember the
time when it was the leading
industry of this section of the
Rockies and when as a conse-
quence money was plentiful. the
ranchmen had u home market
for their crops at high prices
and railroad tonnage was cor
respondingly large.
There is reason to hope that
those days may come again. We
have faith that the ore is here,
and that as financial conditions
change for the better and the
accumulation of metals which
the low ebb of mining thriout
the world has been absorbing,
finally disappears, metal mining
will resume its old-time activi-
ties here, to the certain prosperi-
ty of the town and county.
Look for more of these min
ing articles exclusively in the

STATION " s c
RUNNING WELL
Radio Program Sent
Out on Tuesdays and
Fridays. Excellent
Home Talent Secured
For Concerts

The college broadcasting station at
Western State is becoming an inn
portant contribution to the social, in
tellectual and musical life of the
western half Of the state, and the
bi-weekly concerts and programs sent
out by radio Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, are reported as being heard
and appreciated from such far dist
ant points as Los Angeles.
Altho the college station is not as
powerful as it will be made when
funds are available to secure more
powerful transmitters, il is heard in
Oklahoma, Iowa, New Mexico and
California. A large part of the
funds to erect and equip it were Sc
cured by DIR. Wightman, chief of the
physics department, from contribu-
tions and from entertainments given
by interested students. 1t is proba-
bly, the exceptionally fortunate posi-
tion in the high altitude and clear
air Of the Gunnison region that en-
ables it to be heard SO successfully.
We have by far the highest broad
casting station in America.
On the recent occasion of Governor
Sweets visit, the band concert pro-
ceding the speaking was heard BY
parties near Los Angeles, who report
it as very clear and distinct. A card
from Oakville, California, states that
the musical program broadcasted
week ago Tuesday was excellent in
volume at that point.
The Gunnison station " fortunate
IN having instrumental, vocal and
dramatic talent available for the
radio, which otherwise could only be
procured in a very large city. For
instance, Grand Junction folks are
talking Of n broadcasting station, but
If they secured 1t, would find it diff
cult in that city to collect the talent
necessary to put on regular programs.
AS it is DR.. Wightman has two pro-
grams week fully arranged for
considerable time ahead.
The Tuesday evening program of
February 26 begins at $3.50 mountain
time, with a bedtime story by Miss
Irene Mccoy, student at the college

primary work under Miss Stella Yo-
well, and under personal direction of

lGRICUlT TuRAL COLLEGE
OFFERS ASSISTANCE IN
LOCAL DEMONSTRATIONS

E. d. Smith of the Agricultural
College extension service, was a Gun
nison visitor yesterday, looking for
opportunities which the twelve repre-
sentatives Of the school engaged in
field work may find to assist the
ranchmen, their wives or the junior
workers in any problems in this COM
munity.
The extension service is intended to
be just as complete. or perhaps more
60 for counties having no agent as for
those possessing a resident worker.
In Delta, which has no county agent,
there are at present over 200 loca,
demonstrations being worked out,
experiments carried on by ranchmen
and farmers under direction of the
college experts who are constantly
passing thru here on the train, and
would be available for any who have
such problems and wish to write to
the department at Fort Collins about
them.
The new Colcess barley, mentioned
on page two Of the News-C Champion,
is something particularly adapted to
higher altitude conditions, and is
suggested as suitable to experiment
with under Gunnison county condi-
tions, if some growers here would
like to try the seed. Crop improve
ments, livestock Improvements, dairy
ing, boys and girls clubs, home de-
monstrations ideas, are among other
things the extension department will
assist in. Some SO boys Of Crested
Butte are at present engaged in a
forestry club. Girls of the 7th and
9Th grades in the Gunnison schools
are working on clothing experiment.
Many other lines are available.
Mr.. Smith suggests that no Gunni-
son boy or girl has ever been seen as
. prize winner at the State Fair, when
last year $40 young folks were guests
Of the fair and the college for four
days, because Of their club work.

new move FOR SMELTER
GUNN|S0N LOGICAL POINT

Another move is being made toward
securing smelter for Gunnison, this
time thru suggestion of Hon. John
7. Joyce, state commissioner of Mines
in Denver, who declares that he Is
fully aware of the need of a central
ly located plant in our valley in order
that the low grade mines in which this
district abounds may find it possible
TO operate.
This information is contained in a
letter sent by Mr.. Joyce to c. H.
Fullenwider Of Poncha Springs, who
because of his personal interest in
claims of his own in the Spencer
Powderhorn district, had written Mr..
Joyce asking if it were not feasible
to secure such treating plant, pos
sibly state smelter, or something of
that description, and detailing the dis
advantage under which the high
freight rates from Western Colorado
place our mines.
Mr.. Fullenwider is in Gunnison to-
day, and has presented the matter to
c. NJ. Long, chairman of the mines
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. Long states that he is
much in favor of securing the infor-
nation asked for, and that he will
present the matter to the Chamber of
Commerce and endeavor to make
available just the data desired by the
Bureau of Mines. He suggests that
any owners of properties communi-
cate with him at once, and secure
blank for detailing the information.

IMPROVEMENTS on
COCHETOPA ROAD FOR
1924 TOTAL $4,000

Outside of the high bridge at Sapi-
nero, one Of the most important road
improvement in our vicinity this com
ing season will be the seven or eight
miles of new road thru Cochet0pa
canon, south Of Parlin. The sum of
$4,000 has been appropriated by the
state and government for this purpose
and work is to start very early in
1924. Whether it will be let by con-
tract, or done on state account with a
steam shovel Is not yet decided by
the State Highway Department Of
ficials of which are considering the
purchase of another steam shovel for
this work. Considerable of the mile
age thru the canon would be in rock
cuts where the steam shovel seems 70
shine in rapid and cheap handling OF
the blasted hillsides.
The magnificent government high
way near Cochetopa pass has never
been used as much as it should on ac-
count of the bad approaches at either
end. After years the road near Sa-
guache has at last been placed in fine
condition and now attention of the
road builders is turned to the west
side. Gunnison county has maintain
ed a splendid road to the county line,
but this runs but few miles south Of
Pariin. The highway up Cochetopa
canon and over the mesa to the Flying
NJ ranch has always been bad road,
sometimes dismal failure. This
piece of construction will place it on
an equality with the pass and the bal
ance of the road over the continental
divide to Saguache and the San Luis
valley.

BURGLARS 1T PALISADES
RESORT AND VULCAN

Five cabins of the Palisades Resort,
owned largely by Salida sportsmen,
who spend much Of their summers
here along the beautiful Gunnison,
we're burglarized recently by vandals,
who destroyed great deal Of proper
ty, took some away. broke the win
dows and did other damage. E. G.
Victor Of Salida, member Of the as
sociation, who is also chief of the
locomotive engineers Of Colorado,
was here Monday and Tuesday and
discovered the damage.
Also, burglars are said to have
broken into the Doc Weiss and John
Fox cabins at Vulcan and carried OF
and destroyed much property.
The authorities are right after this,
and viii doubtless soon run the perpe-
traitors to earth and see that they are
properly punished for guch shanssless
sections.

BY the Adjusted Compensation
Bill it is proposed to reimburse our
money losses sustained thru military
service in the World War.
Is it too much to suppose that the
average man, who went into military
service, was earning ut least 500 a
month at his civil occupation? For
service as private, ne received $50
a month, besides he got his food and
clothing. Let US count these items at
$50 month. The average private,
then, at this modest rating lost $50 u
month thru his enlistment. 1t is now
proposed to pay him back, not $50 q
month, but $3.50, if he happened to
serve overseas, or only $50 If he re-
maincd in this country. Surely that
would be very moderate settlement,
but the plan is really not so generous
as that. For, instead of getting the
$1,000 which would be his due, at our
rating, after two years absence from
civil life, it is proposed to pay the
two-years overseas veteran not to ex-
ceed 1925, while the two-years ser
