Durango semi-weekly herald., 1901-01-17

column folio and the first number is
bright and attractive and seems to
have good advertising patronage.
The Joint debate between the school
board and the councilmen evidently
had its effect. Not a new case OF
scarlet fever or any other contagious
disease since.
Agitation seems to count as rule,
but it evidently has no effect upon
those in charge OF cleaning up the
city and seeing that the laws regu-
lating nuisances are enforced.
Joseph Jones desires The Herald to
express his thanks for the kindness
and many tokens of friendship shown
during the fatal illness of his wife,
and that he will ever remember them
as friends near and dear.
Abner Jackson, of Silverton.
brother of Mrs. Geo. N. Raymond and
Miss j. Z. Jackson, spent the night
in Durango enroute to Aztec. where
he goes to look up suitable ranch
location-one for stock grazing.
Read the provisions of the nui-
sance ordinance and govern yourselves
accordingly. The city officials viii he
instructed to carry its provisions out
in full.
Mrs. J. j. Jackson arrived from
Denver last evening and will visit for
a time with Durango relatives. Mrs.
Jackson has many sympathizers in
this city over her recent afIliction.
W. D. Watson and wife and daugh-
ter-in-law came down from Silverton
this morning en- route for Denver.
Mr. Watson has not been feeling well
for several months and change will
probably do him good.
A certain Durangoite was tcle-
| graphed to come to Denver and
| work on a certain representative
| The Durangoite wired he would do so
on receipt of pass and S25 AS the
| individual in question went. it is likely
the request was granted. And it was
all for nothing.

among the number being several trot-
ters, provided events of this kind
were scheduled. There is no ques-
tion but that spring meet would
attract many horsemen and a good
attendance.
There has been much agitation by
the newspapers concerning the filthy
condition of the allies and back yards
of Durango. Many of the people are
ignorant concerning the pdovisions OF
the ordinance in this connection and
for their information The Herald
publishes in full the ordinance which
| provides flor cleaning and keeping
clean premises and regulating health
provisions. 1t will be found inter
esting and every resident should cut
the ordinance out and keep the same
/ for future reference. The Herald is
| informed that as soon as the various
| ordinances are passed and printed
they will be rigidly enforced, and this
| is right. There is no use of burden
ing the city with laws to remain dead
| letters. The ordinance published to-
| day was revised and passed at the re-
cent session of the council:
A Good Injun.
