Clipped From Exchanges.
A good deal of new wheat is being
hauled to market in the lower end of
the valley and sells at 85 cents a hun-
dred. Oats are worth $1.25.
There are now no families remaining
on the Upper Saguache above the Hod-
ding ranch, all have moved into town to
get the benefit of our schools. But there
• are several men up there about a quar-
ter of the time performing the pleasant
task of keeping bachelors' hall, and the
balance of the time they have business
in town.

Harry Little and Fred Schroeder re-
turned Iast week from Animus Forks, in
the Silverton country, where they have
been nearly all summer working some
good mining claims owned by them and
from which they expect to realize a small
fortune in the near future. They will
probably spend the wmter in this vicin-
ity prospecting. /
We learn that A. M. Coolbroth and
family are now running the store, post-
office and general stoppmg place at Lone
Cedar Station near the La Garita cross-
ing on the Del Norte road. The fact
that one can get a good meal or bed and
feed and shelter for a team at this place
will no doubt be appreciated by many l
who travel the road between Ssguaohe
and Del NorSe.

Palmer was a Crestone visitor Wednes-
day, combining business with polities.
A petition was forwarded to Washing-
ton'Monday, signed by every citizen in
the district, protesting against making a
timber reservation of three townships of
mineral lm=d adjoining Crestone. It
would be an injustice and an outrage on
every citizen, and the secretary (If the
interior should ~t grant the'request. It
is only desired by a few ranchers and
would work a hardship on hundreds of
miners.

at the Hathawaymine on the Cochetopa,
about 16 miles southeast of Gunnison,
and said he was an officer from the l~eni-

His identity was not discovered and he
pursued his journey up the valley and
was seen by several farmers.
A party of hunters who. were camped

Soldier's Home in Need st Support.
The affairs of the Soldiers and Sail-
ors home at:Monte Vista are in a de-
plorable condition owing to the lack of
state funds for its support. General
Linus E. Sherman returned to the city
last night after attending a meeting of
the commissioners of the home in Den-
ver and said that unless some arrange-
ments are made immediately by state
offi0ials to provide for the needs of the
institution it will be closed and the 170
odd inmates will be homeless. Governor
Orman will hold a conference today with
the members of the commission to talk
over the affairs.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of $40,000 to the institution, but
as the home is in what is called the
Y,
"third class of state institutions it will
receive no money until institutions of
the first and seevnd classes are provided
for.
Since last February the home has been
without funds. According to law all
supplies for the home must be purchas-
ed by contract. For supplies since Feb-
ruary the institution is in debt $11.773
and the contractors refuse to furnish
further supplies without payment Tbe
railroads refuse to carry auppiies to the
institution unless the freight is paid,
The commissioners of the home are H.
W. Smith of Monte Vista, president;
General Liana E. Sherman, of Culorado
Springs; R. J. McNutt of Silverton and
General George West of Gohlev. The)'
met in Denver yesterday and will hold a
conference with the governor today.
They say tbe home will haveto be closed
unless something is done to provide
fuuds for it. There are now 172 old sol
diets and sailors in institutinn.--Colora-

OCTOBER
r THECOUNTY SCHOOLS
BY SUPERINTENDENT•
The superintendent visited the Cres-
tone schools last week. It is really a
~ pleasure to visit schools under such effi-
cient management. At Cottonwood Miss
Alpha Christian has an attendance of
about 15 with all grades represented.
Miss Christian is putting plenty of en-
thusiasm into her work•
In the Crestone schools Miss Lillian
Roberts, W. E. Tomlin and Miss Nettle
Tomlin have charge. Miss Roberts has
the higher grades. One notable feature
in her room is the amount of time de-
voted to the study of literature and com-
position. Her eighth grade graduates
will not show any weakness in grammar.
W. E. Tomlin has charge of the inter-:
mediate department~ Everything is go-
mg very smoothly in that room. They
are somewhat crowded and short on
blackboard space but all are doing very
good work. Miss Tomlin is a splendid
primary teacher. The pupils are pro-
greasing rapidly under her guidance.
The Moffat school house has boon re-
paired and painted and presents a epic
and span appearance. A. B. Gregory of
Crestone did the work.
Miss Carrxe Breese returned last week
from Kansas and took up her work in
the Moffat schools Monday.
Miss Estella Mundell has given up her
school in Custer county to take up the
work as assistant in the Villa Grove
school.
Edward Borrego has an enrollment of
15 in No. 1.
What a blessing county uniformity t,f
text books would be. Something lookin~
towards ~hat end will be done soon.
Mrs. Grenfell says that the indispensi-
ble things in a school room are plenty of
blackboards, a good reading chart, a
school encyclopedia, a set of maps and
Webster's International dictionary.
There seems to be a reaction against
the vertical system of pemanship. It
seems we are in danger of going to the
other extreme. Why not let the inclina-
tion of the pupil determine what system
he should use?
Miss Georgia Bell began school in No.
18 last Monday week.
The teachers now employed in the
county are as follows:
............................... Ed'ward Borrego
.................. W. E. Whitten

School started in the new school house
in Center Monday morning with Miss
Emil)" Garretson as teacher and 25 pu-
pils. Miss Garretson has been working
under great inconveniences so far, as the
pupils are compelled to sit on chairs and
some of tLe needed books have not yet
arrived. The school board will make an
effort to put the seats in before next
Monday. A literary society in theschool
has been orgauized and on every Friday
afternoon after recess, there will be lit-
erary exercises. The officers elected
were Lulu Shultz, president; Pearl
Hawk, secretary; Lulu and Willie Mc
Cormick, Miunie Dyett and Minnie Hurt
