REPORT OF A
YEARS WORK
Consumptive sanitarium Is
Doing Good Work.
Officers of the Institution
Present Encouraging Sta
tistics at the Annual Meet
ing of the Society.

The efficacy Of the Free Hospital for
Poor Consumptives was shown by the
report of DR.. Lawrence f. Flick, the
president of the institution, at the an
nual meeting in Philadelphia on Mon
day DR.. Flick said the movement had
been the medium of establishing two
institutions during the past year where
consnmptives have been treated with
success. The sanitarium at White
Haven has given the best results, it
having been established longer than the
one at Perkiomenville, Dr. Flick stated.
Since the opening of the White Haven
hospital 76 patients have been admitted,
remaining from one week to three
months. During the past year there
have been admitted to the hospitals 3l4
patients, OF which 90 were discharged
greatly improved, II left the institution
and "a died. The work was largely i'm
peded by lack of facilities, and in order
to obviate this to some extent new build
ings and improvements are being consid-
cred. Contracts have been awarded for
the erection of three cottages at White
Haven, which are to be devoted to the
treatment of women exclusively.
The report showed that many of the
patients had gained from ten to fifteen
pounds the first month. The largest
gain was in the case of man who
entered the institution on September IL,
and who, when he left on March l.,
weighed 395 pounds more than when
he was admitted. Other large gains
were SO pounds in five months, 3294
pounds in five months and 81 pounds in
three months.
During the year the total expendi-
lures aggregated 1,O0O OF this
amount $ll,o 900 was expended on incur
able patients, who are boarded at other
sanitariums at the expense OF the
society.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, Lawrence f. Flick,
M. d.; vice presidents, John w. Bon
ner, Charles IL. Thomas, M. D.; treasur-
er, Edward A. Millar; secretary, Miss
Helen McDevitt; managers, Theodore

BOUGHT a Railroad.

The Wilkesbarre and Western Rail-
road was sold on Monday under foreclo-
sure proceedings brought by the Central
Trust Company, of New York, trustee of
$620,00O first mortgage bonds, interest
on which has been in default since 1895.
The road was built fifteen years ago and
extends thirty miles from Watsontown
to Orangeville, Pa. 1t has a capital
stock of 100000, on which no dividends
were ever paid. Several consultations
with other roads have taken place. In
February, 1908, it was consolidated with
several other lines, under the name of
Central Pennsylvania and Western.
The line connects with the Phila-
delphia and Erie 1T Watsontown, by
ferry with the Reading, and with the
Bloomsbury and Sullivan.
The sale attracted few persons and
the only bid, that of $75, 900, was accept

THE NEW WAGE SCALE
IN SAN JUAN COUNTY

Letters have been received recently
by The Herald from outside points,
asking information about Durango.
For the benefit of these readers of The
Herald, and for all who are looking
toward Durango as future home, we
publish the following sketch. The
industries and resources of Durango
are so numerous and varied that 1t
would be impossible to give them all
in detail. but we have tried to cover
the ground in general way and to
give the principal points of interest to
persons who think of coming here to
live. This article has been written
especially with a view to answering
the Questions asked in letter receiv-
ed from Colorado Springs few days
apo. which stated very plainly Just
what the writer wished to know about
the city Further information on any
particular point will gladly be given
n desired.
The city of Durango. situated In the
valley OF the Animas river and sur
rounded by mountains and foothills.
Is the metropolis and natural supply
point OF southwestern Colorado. 1t
was laid out as site for a city In
1880. the next year it was incorpor-
1ted as a town and made the county
seat of La Plata county, and In 1885
it became "A city.
During the twenty-five Years of its
existence. Durango has made steady
and unfaltering prosress 1t has not
doomed. nor has 1t known year of
stagnatlon. The population has grad
ually increased year by year, until now
about 5000 people find homes within
its limits. and the constant cry on
avery hand is for more residences to
shelter the families that are flocklng
in every month attracted by the prom
ising agricultural lands and the i'm
mense wealth that has recently begun
to pour out from the gold and silver
mines in the immediate vicinity of the
city.
The altitude of Durango Is about
! 500 feet The climate Is delightfully."-
healthful. there being 800 days OF
sunshine In every year. There Is
neither extreme heat, nor extreme
cold. the invalid Is restored to health
and the strong man is buoyed up by
the rich ozone In the atmosphere to
work INCREASINGLY until he has lait
up for himself a goodly store of the
wealth that abounds In this section.

RIDER MENTIONED
FOR NOMINATION

Percy A. Rider of Rico will be
candidate before the Republican safe
convention for the nomination for
governor II friends now in this city
have their way. George N. Raymond
of Durango mas been sounding Repub-
licans in behalf of Mr.. Rider and finds
strong sentiment favorable to him
Il believe no better candidate can
be found" said Mr.. Raymond in dis
cussing the matter "Mr. Rider is
one of the most popular men in the
San Juan country. and would make
splendid candidate. He ran for
mayor of his own town, which is one
of the hotbeds of Populism. and was
elected by a large majority. He is
a mining man and no one stands bet
ter among the miners. | believe the
Republican convention could not do
better than to name him."
Mr.. Rider was a candidate for
lieutenant governor on the Republican
ticket with Mr.. Goudy and made a
splendid run, going away ahead of
his ticket in his own section of the
state. Mr.. Rider has not been CON
suited as to his candidacy, but his
friends are pushing it in the hope
that he can be induced to run. 1t is
predicted that he can bring the whole
San Juan country down to the safe
convention, and, If so. he will be a
formidable andidate.-Denver Times.
