was ordered discharged from the hos

interested in little Earl and made in
quiries about him. The doctors said
they would have to amputate both of
Earls legs. as the skin would not
heal over them. and amputation meant
death to the child unless some one
would give up large surface of skin
to be grated on him.
Well. said Mike, III give him all

SEVERAL BIG REAL
ESTATE TRANSFERS

The outside world, at least. has con.
fidence in the future of Durango. and
this is not more clearly evinced in any
other Way than through some of the
sales made recently by lockwood &
Perkins. Among these transfers is
one for three lots at the corner of
First avenue and Sixth street. for
$4,000. and we understand that a sub
stantial business block will be erected
here.
This firm sold the Frank H. Young
business property between Ninth and
Tenth on First avenue for $4,000. and
sold the Barton ranch on Lightner
Creek to Joe Praeter forr $1,000 cash.
Their sales daring the month of June
aggregated $4,000.
One noteworthy fact in connection
with these transfers is that the great
the great number of peoeple who are
people who have been carefully study
ing the situation around Durango and
comparing it to the best they can do
elsewhere. The Herald would sug-
gest that the same class of investors
will do well to take into consideration
the great unmber of people who are
coming to Durango to reside and the
scarcity of houses which has pre-
vailed for two years. II is true that
Increasing rents have caused few to
build but the city needs great many
more residences, particularly of the
modern kind.
1t is gratifying that people can
come here and so readily comprehend
the great industrial bases which must
eventually build Durango to a city of
probably twenty-five thousand people.

at the bayou bank in Hanson's mill
yard; and we consider the princi-
pie, (which the test amply showed
to be practicable to be valua-
BILE discovery for any kind of land
irrigation.
The device was invented by Mr..
Charles A. O'Niell, and the COLI
struction of the present model, to-
gether with the experiment it is
undergoing. are under the SUPER
vision Of Messrs. Trowbridge, Law
less and Smith. all of whom, { be-
sides it's really enthusiastic orgi-
niator,) declare that the expert
ments 90 far prove that it is the
safest and cheapest irrigating ma
chine ever brought out.
The water is irrigated by pro-
cess of centrifugal force. The
whole device may be described as
being two inverted cones or fun
nels, one about four inches small
or than the other, with the small
or one placed inside the larger.
The space between the two, being
about two inches on each side, is
divided by six partitions, running
from top to bottom of the cones.
Down through both cones q shaft
runs, and to which the tunnels are
attached, so that, when the fun
nels turn, centrifugal motion is
created, tending of from the shaft,
and necessarily upward, toward
the place of discharge. When in
motion, the device is completely
obscured except the inner cone,
and the water pouring over the
sides in such q volume. resembles
q round cataract.
The principle is perfect. it ap-
pears to Us. and with machinery
sufficiently powerful to apply the
right motion to the shaft, We be-
lieve it will elevate more water to
the pound of power applied than
the Menge elevator, the old-fash-
toned water wheel. or any other
wster-lifting machine now in use.
i The size of the one now under
going the experiments, is about
four feet high, perpendicular mea-
surement, standing at angles Of
about Goo, the whole of which has
been neatly built of boiler-iron,
and is submerged to q distance Of
about eighteen inches.
i It was intended to have been
run at q speed of $50 revolutions
per minute, but the small engine
with which the test was made, (de.
, veloping only from 10 to IL horse.
power), carried it only at q speed
{ of 81 revolutions per minute.

Scarcity Of Beef Cattle.
Farm and Ranch.

q
O'Donuell, Superintendent OF the
Pittsburg Central Stock Yards,
among other things, said:
Undoubtedly the price of cattle
will be advanced to eight cents q
pound live weight before july"
He attributes the present advance
to the fact that the production of
cattle has been rapidly decreasing
during the last several years; that
the export trade is increasing at q
Remarkable rate and that the fore
| ign markets are willing to pay
good prices for the best cattle.
Also to the fact that at the present
price of corn farmers and cattle
raisers are unable to prepare steers
and hogs for the market on q pro-
|fitable basis.
1.-THE heavy demand for cattle
from London and other markets of
Great Britain has, in q measure,
affected the prices of live stock in
this country. To-day we exported
$50 fat Herefords to London.
They cost $6.85 per hundred
weight and will sell for from four
teen to fourteen and one-hslf cents
per pound on the hoof in England.
The consumption of meat is con-
stantly increasing and there has
been q material decrease in the
production of cattle and live stock
in ell quarters of the country.
This condition is due to the fact
that in eastern states where the
best beef cattle are raised the far
mers devote more time to strictly
agricultural pursuits than hereto.
