This measure is now IN the house.
Mr., Flynn seels confident OF success.
Asked regarding the outlook in the
senate he said that was too far of
to form the basis for an opinion as Il
would first have to run the gauntlet
in the house.
Il is evident. however that the
friends of statehood are feeling very
sanguine OF success. There would
probably be no serious opposition tc

Heart
Beats

that are too fast or too slow,
too strong or too weak, are not
the kind that come from a
healthy heart. Remember,
every heart that pains, ilutters,
palpitates, skips beats, and
every heart that causes fainting
spells, shortness of breath or
smothering, is weak or diseased,
and cannot keep the blood cir
culating at its normal rate.
'My heart was very weak and
kept skipping beats until it
missed from one 70 three beats a
minute. Well knowing what
theresult would be if this trouble
was not stopped, j began taking

bottles brought the heart action

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN
STOPPED BUT SALARIES.
(Denver Times.)

The state fish hatchery at Duran
go has dried up but the state is pay
ing s24O0 year for its maintenance
just the same. The only thing the
men who are drawing nearly $4,000
a year as salaries have to do now is
to watch the hole.
1t is given out that owing to the
lack of rain the springs that feed the
hatchery have dried up and, of course.
the fish could not live upon dry land
and gave up the ghost. There is
not enough water in the hatchery to
fill up the troughs and there is moth
ing left in many spots but dust.
Stanley Day. son of Dave Day, of
Durango, is the superintendent and
gets the bulk of the pay About
5000 of the s2400 is devoted to sup
plying the hatchery and the rest,
about $1,000, goes into salaries.
State Superintendent of Fish
Hatcheries Holland said this morning
that the hatchery had not been aban-
doned all together, although the sup
ply of fresh water is all gone owing
to the failure of the springs. due. he
thought, to the dry weather. He said
the men were drawing their pay just
the same and the money set apart for
supplies were going on just the same
so far as he knew. He would not ad-
NIT that all the men who drew the
money, had to do was to watch the
hole to see that 1t did not get away.
He declared that some attention to
the place was still necessary, as it
had not been abandoned.
It is impossible to feed the hatch
cry from the river as the reduction
mills at Silverton have sent their
tailings into the river until the water
has that milk and cider color in which
no fish could live long enough to wig
gle before he died. Water thus con-
taminated kills the fish instantly.
The fish hatchery has been dried up
for nearly year. An extra session
of the legislature has met and ad-
iourned and yet no one has sought to
stop this useless expenditure of
money.

for your information, and by which
you will see that | shall demand a
public investigation of the matters
which have arisen in controversy be-
tween your body and the superinten-
dent of the Durango schools and my
self 1t would be foolish indeed TO
submit my rights in the premises to
your arbitrament in view of the pre-
Judgment which which you have put
upon the matters alleged against
me, but | respectfully suggest that
you unite with me in requesting the
Hon. Judge of the District Court of
this district to designate suitable
tribunal of fair minded persons who
shall take up these matters and in
vestigate them and report TO the pub
lie; and that such witnesses, as may
be called before such body shall be
sworn and that both your body and
Mr.. Downs, If you shall see fit, as well
as myself, be represented by counsel
and the evidence be taken down and
preserved.
l shall be glad to have your early
assent signified to the course pro.
posed and will then designate coun-
sci who will appear for me.
