Proposed New Mancos Road.

scented to the county commissioners
praying for an appropriation of fiye
thousand dollars to assist in the con.
struction of direct road connecting
with the Hesperus-La Plata road, To
the East Mancos mining section. can
he granted If the board will trim OFF
few of the useless expenses. aud
the amount could be saved In much
less time than one year. The policy
of the board in relation to building
ana maintaining good roads has no;
been AS pronounced or liberal as that
of the boards of commissioners in
other San Juan counties. Our board
has subordinated the paramount in-
terests of the people to the advance
ment of their political creeds, but the
prayer of a petition for an enter
prise needed so much as the new
road should be met. and the friends
Of Durango and La Plata county
the appropriation be made.
The mining operators of the Man
cos section. assisted by Montezuma
county, will build road from the
head of East Mancos canon to the
western line of La Plata county
This Is simply an offer of the trade OF
that section to Durango. and bid foi
La Plata county coal for use in min
ing and milling purposes. The route
of the proposed new road Is the most
direct possible to secure, and once
completed, the trip can be made from
Durango to East Mancos, with light
conveyance, in five hours. 1t is an
opportunity which Durango cannot af
ford TO overlook. and one which Il
availed of must be of vast benefit to
La Plata county in general.
There is no doubt of the richness
of the Mancos gold contacts, and Mr.
Doyle and partners have left no rea
sonable doubts in the minds of the
people as to their capability and will
ingness to push development there
The present developments in the la

A MUCH NEEDED ENTERPRISE.
One Which viii Give Durango Some
New Buildings in the Near
Future.

The organization of strong local
building and loan association for Du-
range is well under way. The names
of well known persons who have been
closely allied with the life of Du-
range, In its best effort, have pcc1
subscribed to the proposed plan aud
a glance at the list is at once convinc-
ing that they mean business. The
original papers are in the bands OF
Mr.. w. S. Pickerell, of the Local Sc
curity company. and can be seen by
those who are Interested both in the
progress OF themselves and the ad-
yancement OF Durango.
Nearly all of the prominent towns
and cities of Southern Colorado dur
ing the past few years have progressed
ON these lines and have secured many
new residences and business buildings
and during all this time Durango has
done practically no building. and peo'
ple who have desired to come here
from the mountains to winter, haNe
found it necessary to go elsewhere
for winter moorings. Durango cannot
afford to stand in this unenviable att
tude much longer. Careful investiga

We're i've applicants for these houses.
During former years. there have
been empty houses in Durango dur
Ing the summer months, but there
have been none during the past year.
Rents In Durango have raised cre
hundred per cent since Two years ago,
and the rates are as high here now
as in any of the prosperous sections
Of Colorado. Durango has been gr "
ing in spite of the fear. doubt and m.
difference of as conservative lot of
people as ever got into one town of
5000 people. and she is about to burst
forth from the old shell into "a living
reality. Those who have ever pro-
ressed their confidence in the perma-
nent prosperity of Durango will loo..
about them and readily count FIVE
hundred heads of families who are
houses which are fit for their fami-
lies to live in.
While building and loan associa-

matters If those who have to suffer i.r
