THE LA PLATAS.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
many are again turning their atten-
ton to the La Platas. A few years
ago heavy investments were made
by out side parties but no systema-
tic development followed except in
one or two instances. The Pret
Brothers spent "a fortune but their
judgment was evidently bad as there
is little to show for the money ex-
pended That the Prets made fail
ure all Durango regretted. They
were enterprising men and had sue
cess crowned their efforts they could
have secured any amount of money
for handling OF other properties
Nevertheless those at all familiar with
conditions in the La Platas are ty
come and are firmly convinced that
the district will some time. and not
a great way off, either, be a regular
beehive of industry
The wonderful showing made by
the Neglected mine the past few
months fully verilies every prediction
made by The Herald. Had the own
ers became discouraged and aband-
oned work even year ago they would
not now be pocketing rich dividends
from what is bound to be one of the
best paying mines in the state. The
work now being done upon the Neg
lected is felt by every business in
terest of our city. Speed the day
when employment will be furnished
one hundred men. Not only one
hundred men will be employed on the
Neglected but several hundred, and
that within year or two. AS de-
velopment progresses stopping ground
will be opened and room provided for
additional men.

LOVING CLOSE OF

II would now appear that the leg
islature will definitely adjourn on
Saturday evening.
Acting upon the generously good"
suggestion of Representative Cannon,
senator's and assemblymen who have
quarreled and snarled at one another
during the last fifty days are to smoke
the pipe of peace and then depart
their different ways in a spirit of ex-
treme good fellowship.
This is certainly very lovely. The
commonwealth will rejoice to know
that our esteemed law makers are
not going to bear grudges or i'll feel
ings one to the other during the closing
hours of the lamentable extra session.
1t was feared they might. The public
would be deeply grieved if they
should; but such a calamity is to be
averted. They have already arrang-
ed to fall upon each others neck and
swear eternal fidelity.
The matter of spending almost use
lessly sixty or seventy thousand dol
lars of the peoples money is, of
course, mere bagatelle. Personal

fore the Legislators are to have ii
smoker, sing loving songs, declare
one to the other that he is "a Jolly
good fellow" and then go way back
to the various counties and placidly
sit down until recalled once more to
public life.
We are heartily pleased to know

peace is to rest lightly and gently
upon the dome of the capitol. Turbu

lDenNer llmeS.)
Jefferson d. Adams of Dolores
county has his troubles.
About 1920 o'clock the other
morning he announced on the floor
of the house that 81 am a Democrat"
Then he proceeded to get
himself into such hot water that
at l0:45 he said he'd be busted
if he wouldn't quit the party if such
cusses as the outfit down in his part
of the county continued to run things
and such fool measures as the Buck
lin bill We're saddled onto the Demo
Gratis.
Mr. jefferson d. Adams OF Dolores
is tall and lank He wears big Cog
gle glasses and has ambitions as a
humorist The first part OF the ses
sion he tried to take few falls out
of the house, and thereby got
himself into the newspapers. 1t
didn't seem so funny when it
was in cold print. so his principal oc-
cupation for week or SO was rising
to question of personal privilege
each morning. and explaining that
people mustn't take him seriously.
Then there came time when he
subsidized except to announce occa-
sionally that he was a Democrat,
when he voted with the Republicans.
This he considered necessary. for
fear that the impression might go forth
that he was IA member Of the party
with which he voted.
All went serenely until this morn
ing. when he. in a fit Of absent-mind-
edness, fell into his old habit of rising
to n question of personal privilege.
He shook a copy of the News in
the face of the speaker. and said;
Il want to say that | have been
grossly maligned on the floor OF this
house. This Populist, single-tax
newspaper says that Montgomery
of Teller county said that when |

leader on the floor of the house, and
get instructions. want to say
that this is false | am Democrat

floor because the speaker is more
sarcastic than | am and ! can't keep
up with him, but here he gets his
sarcasm spread all over the state in

got the worst of it. Montgomery of
Teller says | only got twenty-five
votes when / was elected. He amt

This should be entitled "A Resolu.

Mclean, because, although they have
an overwhelming majority of the
Twelfth. Thirteenth, and this extra
session of the general assembly the
Fusionists have never given the peo-
pie what they now say the people
want-a railroad commission. They
tell you they haven't time now to pass
such law. What have they been do
ing during the last three sessions?
What were they doing in this session
when they wanted two weeks for the
discussion OF the revenue bill without
doing anything. The fact is that Mr.
Ballinger wanted to get up railroad
commission, and now that he is afraid
that he cannot he wants to get on a

Mr.. Speaker, | want to say to you
that the next legislature will be Re

without any advice from makesbift

Mr.. Adams denounced the resolution
as political buncombe. He asked if
the fusionists proposed to kill all that
was left of the Democratic party. He
charged that Mr.. Ballinger was trying
to get up a boom for himself for gov
ernor, which Mr.. Ballinger denied.

FRESH ATTACK ON TREASURY
House Passes eallinger's Resolution
to Fool the People.
(Denver Republican,

Another expensive commission Will
be imposed upon the people of the
state If the senate accepts the resolu-
ton the house adopted yesterday
The resolution is that offered by
Representative Ballinger to create a
commission to draft a bill for a
railroad commission for presentation
to the next general assembly. This
measure was vigorously fought, but
the Fusionists could not let the OPP
portunity slip to get at the pie coun-
ter and it was adopted.
Mr. Ballinger offered the resolu-
ton. although he had in his pocket
bill for railroad commission.
However, the Fusion members were
not anxious to pass direstly upon the
question of such a commission. They
would rather pass the responsibility
on to the next house, and be able to
say to their constituents that they
were in favor of the commission II
occasion should require it, or on the
other hand to be able to say they
always had opposed it. 1t was very
comfortable way out of responsible

member felt he had of being appoin-
ted member of the joint commission.
Mr.. Bell objected to the resolution
on the ground that it provided that
the members should receive $500 each
for their services, so offered the fol
lowing resolution at the forenoon ses-
sion.
That the members of the said
commission shall not directly or indi
rectly receive any compensation
whatever from the state of Colorado
for any services they may perform
in preparing and drafting said rail
road commission bill. Neither shall
said commission nor any member
thereof or any official of the state OF
Colorado in the preparation of and
drafting of said railroad commission
bill. nor shall any expense that may
be incurred by said commission
thereof in preparing said bill, be
paid by the state of Colorado"
The resolution struck vital blow
at the main purpose of the Ballingei
resolution-to furnish pie for the
Fusionists-and was Indignantly re
jected.
The fact that the judiciary commit

yesterday 1t was decided to advertise
for bids, the grading to begin May /.
The new road has it's inception in
the narorw gauge line running from
Lumberton north sixteen miles,
known as the "Biggs road The line
is operated by the lumber merchant,
e. NJ. Biggs of Lumberton, and Nc
Phee and McGinnity are among the
Denver capitalists interested. The
Biggs road has been used to bring
down lumber from some of the most
magnificent forests in the state,
The road will be Strengthened, re-
built in some portions, and extended
fourteen miles to Pagosa Springs. and
then in all probability to the north
through the San Luis valley The
