POssIBIL LITIEs THAT WILL
MAKE A LARGE TOWN.
A Brief History Of the Town and ITS Re-
sources. Everything to Make 1t One of
the Best Towns in the State

With all the tumult and war Of
1903 the town of dolores ard coun-
ty OF Montezuma have seen many
improvements, ard many things
have occurred .hat makes The cut
look for the future very bright. As
we are just entering upon new
year with gll its bright prospects be
fore us THE SILVER STAR will ell
deavor to give little of the past
history lof this city and foretell
something of its future. In turn
ing back the paaes of Dolores his
tory we note steady growth from
nothing to proportions that make it
one of the liveliest Villages of its
size in Southwestern Colorado.
Dolores is located at about the
center Of Montczuma county, about
thirty-six miles from Rico, on the
Dolores river, and at the point where
the Rio Grande Southern railroad
crosses the river. leaving the fertile
valley of the Dolores to wind its
way around the curves and up the
grades in Lost Capon and down the
opposite slopes into the rich valley
of the Rio Mancos.
The location of this lively village
is all that could well be asked, both
for convenience and beauty of its
natural surroundings. As it is on
that point of the railroad which
reaches the farthcst south, it is the
nearest railroad station in Colorado
to Northwestern New Mexico,
Northeastern Arizona and South
eastern Utah. Its altitude is about
6,o5o feet, which brings it within
the snoW belt of winter, but fur
ilisl,es climate unsurpassed during
the summer months and makes it
very beautiful.
On Thanksgiving day. 1891, the
Rio Grande Southern construction
train laid the track across the town
site. AT that time there was but
one building Oh the site, that of
Sherman Phelps, who had occupied
the premises as ranchman. The
building, which was erected long
before saw mills put in an appear
ance, still stand and is now used by
the railroad company as boarding
house for their section crew. The
ranch the year previous had passed
into the hands of the present town
company and was plated during the
winter Of 1892 for. town-sitc pur-
poses, after which the residents OF
the big Bend" (the old town two
miles below the present site) began
to erect and occupy new buildings
in the new town. the present ware
h usc o. ]. ]. Harris x Co. being
the first erected. From that time
on the town has had slow but per-
mancnt growth and today is much
farther advanced than many towns
with equal advantages, which are
twice as old. AT short distance
from the town and in Lost Canon,

tent to do so, | will supplement their
report with few facts and figures
taken from the county books.
The amou mt of license to be paid
by saloons is based on the vote
cast for governor at the preceding
election. If one hundred and fifty
votes have been east for governor
in the precinct, the license fee will
be $4,000 per quarter, if less than
that, it will be $1,000 per quarter
where there are two OK more
saloons.
During my term of office, only
one town (Rathdrum) paid $4,000
There was then in Harrison for one
year, one saloon paying $26.OO per
quarter. and the next year, two
saloons paying $1,000 per quarter,
each.
There have been during the pres
ent year in Harrison, seven saloons
paying $4,000 per quarter each.
There have been in Boomers Ferry
this year eighteen saloons paying
each $4,000 per quarter, where
there were during my term, four
saloons paying $1,000 per quarter
each.
There have been in Port Hill
twelve saloons paying $1,000 per
quarter each, where during my
term there was one, paying $4,000
per quarter. There have been at
different points in the Kootenai
Valley this year, eleven saloons
paying $4,000 per quarter each,
where there was none during my
term. There are six saloons in
Standpoint, where there were two
during my term. There is saloon
at Cataldo, one at st. Marie's, and
one at Lane where there was none
during my term. The saloons in
Occur d. Alene are paying $4,000
per quarter against $1,000 paid
during my term. Any intelligent
man, even a member of that grand
jury, could have accounted for the
increase of revenue without impu-
ting dishonesty to anyone.
With equal justice, the grand
jury might have reported. that for
the full year of 1896, l received
from all sources, including board
of prisoners, as pay in the sheriff.

EX-SHERlFF RYAN REPLIES
Scores the Grand Jury for Acts of
Omission and Commission.

The following communication
has been received by the HERALD
for publication, and is self-ex-
planitory:
TO the e litor of the KoorENAI
HERALD.-Dear Sir: The Grand
Jury of the present term of the
District Court, in their report, take
occasion to call the attention of the
Court to the fact that Sheriff Brad
bury during eleven months OF his
term has turned over to the county
auditor the sum of S17, 765.00
license money as against SIG, 1896
turned in by ex-Sheriff Ryan dur
ing his full term of two years.
Perhaps the grand jurors imag-
ined they were doing their duty in
calling the atten ton of the Court,
and incidentally, of the people of
Kontenai county, to this fact, but l
think they should have gone far
ther. The inslnuation contained
in this portion of then report can
only be construed to mean one Of
two things: either that | was gull
ty of enlightenment in retaining
license money which | had collect
ed, or guilty of malfeasance in office
in permitting the sale of liquor
without license. In either case /
would be liable to a criminal prose-
cution, and / contend that it was
the Sworn Duty of those "most
potent, grave and reverend" grand
jurymen, if they thought l had
been guilty of any crime or INSIDE
meanor in Office, to have investi-
gated the matter, and if they found
sufficient grounds for indictment.
