Easter to Complete Call Than Report
“Line Busy”
When you read a criticism of tele*
phone operators because they make a
“Busy Line" report, does it occur to
you that every sensitive telephone
girl who reads it is hurt? They are
only doing their duty when reporting
line is busy.
This phrase means that the “line,”
not the telephone, you called is busy.
There may be two, three or four tel
ephones on the line. With one in use,
the others cannot be called. The j
“line” is busy.
Less labor is involved for the ope
rator to complete a connection on the
first call, when she can, than to re-,
port “Line is Busy” and be called:
again.
No operator would ever make such,
a report if it could be helped. It
lightens lier burden to complete your
call at once. She knows you will call
again if she gives you a “busy” report.
Improvements at Gunnison Fuel and
Feed Store

LETS HELP OURSELVES BY IN
VITING OTHERS TO ATTEND
COLORADO’S STATE FAIR.
Why not do your state a good turn
and therefore a good turn for yourself,
by writing your friends back east and
down south and out west an Invitation
■pedal to visit the Colorado State Fair
with you this fall?
They would be amazed at the state’s
powers of production.
Fruits for Instance; last year nearly
all the fruit was raised on the west
ern slope. The western slope fruit
counties made a wonderful display—
tha marvel of everybody. This year
the whole state has fruit.
That Is Just one Item of the state's
greatness; think of the agricultural,
the stock raising and the manufactur
ing features of Colorado.
Many eastern people have the no
tion that Colorado is about 80 per cent
climate and scenery. Get your friends
In other states to the Colorado State
Fair Just once, and they will boost for
the Centennial state all their lives.
Very Many Special
Prizes to Be Offered
Special premiums offered by a num
ber of the live stock associations of
the United States for exhibits In their
lines at the coming Colorado State
Fair bear testimony of the general In
terest taken all over the country In
this state’s big annual show, which
opens In Pueblo on September 25.
“THE CASCADE TRAIL."
“The Cascade Trail” and the wonder
ful mountain-side driveway up Squirrel
Creek Cafion, 29 miles southwest of
Pueblo, will be one of the newly pos
sible attractions which will add to the
Joys of a visit to the Colorado State
Fair this fall.
Just a nice drive any morning or
evening during the State Fair will
make possible a view of the finest
scenery and the greatest variety of
foliage In the Rocky Mountains, and
a view of Pueblo from an altitude of
from 7,000 to 10,000 feet.
Ths Squirrel Creek Cafion road was
completed by the U. 8. Forestry road
builders this summer. It affords easy
access to one of the most picturesque
■pots In the San Isabel National forest.
All the varied tints of mountain foliage
can be seen In all their glory during
fair week. On the sides of this road
way there Is said to be every variety
of pine, cedar, balsam and spruce to
be found in Colorado.

The Gunnison Empire.
At the present time the oil well is
1565 feet deep and has a flow of gas
so strong as to prohibit further drill
ing until new casing is sunk, which is
being done as rapidly as possible.
The indications for oil are better
than at any time in the past and the
depth attained corresponds closely
with the geologist’s estimates on this
field. Sinking will proceed as soon
as the casing is completed. Reports
that M. Crow, driller, will leave soon
are not correct. He will remain until
the well is fully demonstrated. Un
der the new management the books
are open for inspection at any time,
