PREPARING FOR TOURIST
DRIVE IN COMING SUMMER
Chamber of Commerce Holds Large and Enthus-
iastic Meeting Printing 10000 Booklets. Plans
for Auto Park and Better Trout Fishing.

: Sevcnty-eight enthusiastic Gunnison
business men sat down TO a fine tur-
key dinner ut the Commercial Hotel
Wednesday evening, and AFTER IT was
disposed OF, talked shop for an hour
on matters pertaining to Chamber of
Commerce activities. II was quite
the largest gathering of the kind we
recollect seeing in this town. a fine.
representative lot of American busi-
ness men, engaged in community
boosting.
Music for the occasion was donated
by the Night Owl orchestra, consisting
of Richard Owen, Col Mckee, Hugh
Akin, Carvel McWilliams, Jas. Nc
ellis and Miss Curtis. The young
folks played nicely and were generous
with the music. They were given a
rising vote Of thanks by the assem-
bly,. Poppy songs, led by Prof. +. G..
Damson, also enlivened the gathering.
A report of the advertising commit
tee engaged in getting out 10000 six
teen-page booklets, was called for
and given by Chairman Sills. Harry
Gavette, at the head of the financial
end of it. had secured pledges for

Is proposed to distribute it widely
thru the United States. The commit
tee was roundly applauded.
The next question is what to do with
the crowd If the 10000 advertising
booklets brings them. We have fine
scenery always on tap. wonderful
mountain streams, cool bRexes and
splendid roads, but we lack terminal
facilities. The tourist auto camp on
Tomichi avenue will not be ready this
season. The grass is not "set," nor
the trees large enough. TIE old eanip

and this problem will probably Be

from lessons in the lives of our two
great statesmen, Washington and
Lincoln, was the dominant feature of
Rotary dinner Monday. Governor
Rockwell was en- route from his home
in Paonia to Denver, there to take the
reins of actual executive command for
three weeks while Governor Sweet
goes east on q speaking tour, and
found time to stop off day to greet

best attendance record of the district.

The camp is already assuming the

hampered by lack of funds for devel-

Auto Licenses
Show Big Increase

The early spring has quadrupled the
purchasing Of auto licenses ut the
office Of county clerk, c. C. McWilli-
ans, who states that while as q rule
not more than fifty cars get their new
season numbers by the first of Marcn,
TINS year 1t runs around 200. Many
OF them, of course, are for Somrset
which is down below the snow line
more months than the balance of the
county. However, even Crested
Butte people are getting out their gas
buggies, and this week several cars
came clear thru to Gunnison.
Never before has q car been able
to get over the road to Crested Butte
before April first.
For several winters now, cars have
run on the streets of Gunnison every
day IN the year, sleighing or no
sleighing, but there are many more
this year than usual.
From the office of Carl S. Milliken,
secretary Of state, we learn that dur
ing 1928 there were total of 7OS
motor licenses issued in Gunnison
county, 16 Of them to trucks. There
we're 18 licensed drivers and tine sum
Of $3,331.08 collected in fees, one-half
OF which goes to the state, Denver, of
course, has the most cars, 52,174 Ii
censes being issued there and $685.
600 being collected in fees. Total
auto license revenue in Colorado is
S1,l26,218.55, one-half going to coun-
ties for their own road use and half
to the state. It is this half that pays
for the six million dollar bond issue.
There are 175,669 motor vehicles
owned in Colorado, SO that Gunnison's
quota is only drop in the bucket.
Delta county has 2,169; Montrose,
