Looking Back

Steamboat Springs — From the Friday, Sept. 21, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot:

The historical relics and specimens in the cabinet in the hall on the first floor of the courthouse are attracting a great deal of attention. Visitors are inspecting the interesting articles every day. New gifts are being added gradually to the collection as the residents of Northwest Colorado awaken to the importance of preserving for posterity the remainders of pioneer days in this section.

Relics and specimens will be received by Judge J.M. Childress and placed in the cabinet. He will be glad to give attention to any articles, which residents of this section may care to give or to lend to the historical society, and will see that they are properly labeled and placed in the cabinet. Relics which have been preserved for years in a family finally become lost or discarded through lack of interest on the part of succeeding generations or through the death of the owners. Such articles, if placed in the cabinet at the courthouse, will be preserved and will give pleasure to many who may see them there in future years.

Chief Theater thronged for Arizona Wranglers

Not since the free shows given at the Chief Theater on the Pilot's 50th anniversary party in August has there been as large a crowd of people at the theater as on Monday night, when the throng pushed and elbowed to hear the Arizona Wranglers, a popular KNX radio broadcasting troupe. They made three different appearances, each time to a full house. Everyone was anxious to see "Sheriff" Underwood, "Pewee," "Cactus Pete," "Iron Tail," "Sleepy" and the rest of the troupe whose voices and music have pleased millions on the air.

Pilot will be sent to students free by request

Any Routt County boy or girl who is attending college this year may, as in past years, have the Pilot sent to them free if they make request, giving address. It will be like a letter from home. We are proud of the large number of students who are attending institutions of higher learning and desire to send them the Pilot if they wish it.
