travelling representative of the same
road and George f. Marshall, auditor
Of the Rio Grande Southern.
Mr.. Franklin presided as toastmas-

cal citizens to respond and, although
everything was informal, the re
sponses were listened to with much in

Mr.. c. f.. Mcconnell spoke on the

VALUABLE ADDITIONS TO
SAN JUAN COUNTY

Judge Pendleton came up from Az
tee last evening and this morning left
for Santa Fe where he goes to attend
a meeting of the territorial bureau of
immigration being a member thereof.
Judge Pendleton is one of the most
energetic men in the west and our
southern members can feel proud of
his efforts in advertising the country
and in behalf of securing
good class of people for permanent
residents During the past winter he
has located some twenty odd families
in the La Plata district alone who will
average $4,000 wealth to the family
showing that men are locating who
have plenty of means to go ahead with
improvements. AS a rule improved
ranches have been purchased and the
cash paid for same. Such newcomers
are a big thing for any county and
means much for San Juan. Not only
the above additions to the La Plata
district, but farmers have been locat
ed in all parts of the country, many in
the vicinity of Aztec. Very few who
have visited the county in search of
locations have gone away. The great
possibilities have appealed to those
who have had crops burned up owing
to drouth and again ruined by rain.
San Juan is the most prominent
section in the United States without
railroad facilities, and it does not
seem possible that railroad builders
will continue to overlook the open

MOORE RECEIVERS HIS
NERVE AND SAYS
HE Is NOT SHORT
From Saturdays Daily.
w. IT. Moore has reflected.

W II Moore has reflected.
Reflection is of the sort that makes
the public feel better. Why? Be
cause he says he is not short. Now,
really. for the sake OF Mr.. Moore, and
more especially for the overburdened
taxpayers. The Herald trusts that
such is the case. In fact, we'd give a
ten dollar note as an individual to
know this was the case II would
make us have more confidence In hui
manity But we are inclined to doubt
Mr. Moore Facts and figures are
against him The examining
committee is against him. The
books are against him. He is short.
and there is no getting around 1t.
when the committee closed exam
lining the books for the past year last
evening the shortage footed up in the
neighborhood of $500. This does
not include the actual shortage for the
year as a great many items have not
been taken In consideration. 1t does
not include peddlers, auction and
many other licenses issued during the
year OF which there Is no record. And
II may be in this connection that Mr..
Moore means when he says the com
mittee does not understand his meth
cd of keeping books. Quite correct
again II is hard to understand such
n method and shows how rotten Mr,
Moore has been. He just obliterated
all record by making no record in such
triiling matters, What good would
ten dollar licenses do to a great city
like purango-and even "A circus IL
cense would count for little. but II
would enable him to crafty his sport
ing prorllvities
The council will meet Monday even
ing aud viii appoint committee to go
over the books for the preceding
years or during Mr.. Moore's term of
Office What the examination will re-
veal no one can tell, but judging from
the past year we may expect rotten
condition. Some OF the officials think
a shortage of $4,000 to $4,000 will be
be found for the year and fraction of
a year This Judging from the fall

G. A. Marshall of tine Rio Grande
Southern outlined the policy of the
road toward this locality-that of
building up manufacturing interests
etc. and of advertising to the
world the greatness of the territory
trayersed by the line.
Mr.. Brown of Boston spoke of the
feeling OF eastern investors towards
western enterprise in which Duran
go and Colorado came in for kindly
consideration. Mr.. Hayden gave
the conditions of the coal industry
of the United States, while N. c. Mil
Ter closed the speaking with an elo-
quent address on Durango, past, pres
ent and future.
The banquet brought together men
interested in the welfare of Durango
and the southwest who discussed mat
ters of import and became better ac-
quainted with each other. Such gath
erings are conducive of much good.

ers. Of which there Is no record and
checked up BY seeing those who are
supposed to have had dealings with
the city. Then the circus license of
$50 OF last June went into Moore's
willing pocket OF which there Ia no
record to show that It was ever re-
ceiyed. II is said he would take
three to six licenses to the mayor to
be signed at one time and some of
them would be out of the regular book
while others would be taken from an
old book not in use.
Again no one ever compared his re-
ceipts with other years, and as he was
not checked up on his reports he
could easily have read one sum
while the real receipts from the treas
urer showed different 1t is said Of
late he Issued four receipts for 81 200

In the second, not having had time.
The council will have 10 authorize

done at the first meeting, when 1t is
the intention to have all city books
thoroughly gone over dating back over
the time the same have been checked
by Mr. Moore. A few things have
been unearthed, however, which indi-
cate that Moore is behind from the
time he went into Office and judging
from the difference In receipts for IL
censcs compared with previous years
this must be the case. Not only the
city books will have to be used, but
records as to saloons doing business

At best the clerks affairs are in-rot-

by errors or incompetency. He evi-
