Judge Manion, local weather OBJ
server, evidently fell down on the
Job this past week and permitted the
weather man TO run up tempera-
ture of ten below zero last Thursday
morning. The public in general
would no doubt appreciative little
more attention to duties In this re-
gard, as overcoats were unable to
Withstand the ravaging wind.
Owing to a defect In the heating
apparatus at the Court House last
Thursday morning, the officers had
to close their offices for the day until
repairs could be made to the furnace.
Local turkey raisers are now ship
ing a large quantity of the birds to
the Boise markets. A very good price
is reported.
Don't forget to send that absent
friend years subscription to the
Republican as Christmas gift.
A large crowd attended the Con-
gregational Cafeteria Dinner last
Wednesday evening. Owing to the
cold weather that evening many who
had planned to attend were unable to
do so.
Plumbers and auto mechanics were
the most popular people in town last
Thursday morning.

Owing to more or less shortage. of
the water it is necessary that resi-
dents of the city do not let water
faucets drip in order to keep the
pipes from freezing. There is not a
sufficient supply of city water to per-
NIT this waste. 1t would be advis-
able to turn the water off and drain
the pipes.

LAKE CITY BOOSTERS
GET OUT ADV. FOLDERS

The Lake City Chamber Of Com
merce has just issued 5000 booster
pamphlets advertising the unexcelled
scenic attractions Of Hinsdale County,
together with featuring the mining,
fishing and mineral wealth Of our
neighbor at the portal Of the San Juan
region. The booklet was very well
printed by w. N. Kelsey, who has
been editing the Lake City Silver
World.
Hinsdale and Cunnison counties are
close neighbors and should be close
friends. The advertising that helps
one will help the other and probably
another year, both can unite in the
Western Colorado Chamber Of Com
mercc activities In n broader campaign
to secure more capital for develop
ment, more tourists and better appree-
iation Of the resources Of the entire
southwest Of the state.
In this connection the Is counties
which planned to unite in the adver-
tising campaign for 1924, seem 70 be
going ahead, altho the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Board of Commits
sioners Of Gunnison were unable to
see their way clear to duplicate funds
devoted to advertising this summer.
The Chamber Of Commerce, soliciting
funds from this town, Crested Butte,
and thru the valleys, has already
raised and spent more than the $500
allotted to the county, and II was thot
best to wait till 1925 and Join hands
with our neighbors at that time.

CIMARRON YOUTH IS
REGARDED AS HERO

Montrose Press:-
A real hero is reported At Cimarron
in the person Of 17-year-old Lester
Hurd, son Of C. N. Hurd, former night
marshal at Montrose.
The lad had been working for Tom
Topliss, who was shot last week and
died later. It is reported that few
days previous to that, Mr.. Topliss
purchased and brought home some
gasoline in coal oil can. He forgot
to tell the family about it and the eld-
est son, Elmer, aged Is, went out to
the barn to fill q lamp with what he
supposed was coal oil. He lighted q
match to see II the lamp was full.
when the inflsmmable gasoline fumes
ignited and an explosion resulted.
The lad was soon enveloped in q
sheet Of flame which ignited his cloth
ing. He screamed and young Hurd,
who was working nearby ran to his
assistance. He took of his coat and
endeavored to smother the flames,
with the result that he was finally sue
cessful. However, in the attempt to
the attempt to save Elmer, his clothing
was badly burned and torn. Elmer's
face was badly burned, the skin being
blistered. Fortunately no damage
was done to his eyes and he did not
inhale any Of the fumes. His face
still bears the marks Of the frightful
burns.
LaEt Sunday after Mr.. Topliss had
been fatally shot and tumbled from
his horse, he called to the youth to
get his (ToplissC gun from the scab-
bard on his saddle and protect him.
II il reported that Flohr was still FIR
ing ut Topliss. Hurd got the gun and
fired three shots at the assailant, with
the result that he beat a retreat.
In this episode, the youth again
showed remarkable bravery and cool
and Ieve.-headed nature. In both the
emergencies he acted more as ma
ture man than the young lad he is.
Hurd il being considered at Cimarron
as . real hero, rs result Of his two
recent experiences in which he showed
the stun Of which heroes are made.

ny HARDEN COLFAX.

Government enumerators who have
been engaged for the past fifteen
months in taking an inventory Of the
wealth OF the United States have vir
tuaily completed their work and are
on the eve of announcing the final
figures. These will be in the neigh
borhood OF $500. .00o. 600, 900 as of De-
cember II, 1922. as compared with
$1S7, COO 600, 900 ten years before. The
increase during tho decade has been
about co ner cent.
During the same period, the cost of
living has increased about 64 per
cent. And as the enumerators figure
the cost of living by averaging the
costs of commodities of all kinds and
sorts. the increase is in reality the
index also TO the rise In general
prices. Hence the unusual situation
is presented whereby general prices
have risen g. per cent while the
wealth of the country, inventoried at

SINGAPORE BASE IDEA

BY the Assoc ated Press.
LONDON. March 22.--There has
been some question as to just what
Prime Minister Macdonald said in
the house of commons statement
Tuesday regarding the relation of the
Singapore project to the Washington
naval agreement.
Examination Of the full text of the
statement, however. shows that the
premier clearly held that the develop
ment stood for International concilia-
inconsistent with the Washington
pact
The governments abandonment of
the scheme was not on the ground
that it conflicted with the Washing
ton treaty. bat because the govern
nlcnt stood for iternational concilia-
ton and hoped for conditions which
would make comprehensive armament
limitation possible.

there has been a slight decrease in

that the dollar has become SO de-
