CAUGHT ROeRiNG HIS OWN
WINE CELLAR.

LONDON. Nov. "a rather anus
ug mystery in high life has just leak
d out. A certain nobleman was re
emily informed by his butler OF an in
Tplicable leakage in his wine cellar.
Bottles OF rare wines were constantly
disappearing. The servants. most of
whom had been with the family for
many years, all avowed they knew
othing about it.
At last the matter became so ser.

louse. The wires were so crossed
hat it was impossible for anyone to
owe between the shelves without
disturbing them and set the bells

WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.

II must not be forgotten that the
cowardly evasion his plain duty by
Governor Orman at the time OF the
last riot near Telluride put direct
premium on lawlessness and violence
at that camp and encouraged some OF
the desperadoes who have found a
harbor of refuge there, after being
driven out OF the Occur d'Alene. to
commit lust such crimes as the das-
tardly and deplorable assassination of
Arthur Collins.
II the authority OF the state had
been used as 1t should have been at
that time for the re-establishment and
the maintenance of law and order,

cent of the establishments referred to

WAS THE STRIKE A scHEMe2

Reviews of Reviews; Indeed a
It rather difficult not to believe that,
for some reason or another the oper-
ators desired at the outset to have
the strike come on, and that, during
the rest of the Its continuance, they
did not wish to have it terminated.
Why they should have desired a strike
is a question that has been variously
answered. Under cover of the confu-
sion there were said to be large trans
fers of the securities OF some of the
companies concerned. and 1t was the
opinion in certain business circles
that the strike had been employed to
depress values in order to make cas-
Ter the further purchase of stocks so
as to secure permanent control. An
other opinion seems to have been that,
inasmuch as the strike would make
an immense increase In the cost OF
coal to the public-the anthracite
trust would find 1t easier to fix a
higher permanent level of prices than
had existed before. Such result
would naturally reward the monopoly
for "A vast deal of temporary inconVeh'
ience. A third theory was that the
coal operators were simply acting on
behalf of a coalition of interests that
now dominate number OF so-cailed
trusts and combinations and that this
coalition is deeply opposed to organiz'
ed labor and desirous of crushing out
trade unionism.

The absurdty Of the statements
presented In the recently pubiisheh
protest OF farmers on the Florida
against the policy which the city
council has proposed to relieve Du-
range in the matter OF securing pure
water is made apparent by the facts
and records In the Office OF E. ID. Sa-
main. superintendent OF Irrigation.
The statements made regarding what
this office will show were made with
out reference to or knowledge of the
facts.
As to the statement that there Is
more water appropriated from the
Florida than there is in the stream.
the figures furnished by United
States photographer A. l.. Fellows
will show readily that the protest Is
based upon false grounds.

Florida for the months Of April, May
and June, as shown by the hydro
graphers report for three years. ap-

Durango semi-weekly herald., 1902-11-27

Those who oppose the water propo
sition on the alleged ground that the
farmer would be injured propose tc
BUY ten feet of priority and rely OF
the direct flow of the stream. AS the
tecords of the state engineer show
that during the irrigatiug season, the
Florida river gets as low as seven
eubic feet, 1t is plain that under such
an arrangement, either the city would
be out of water or the farmer entirely
deprived. This shows the insincerity

THANKSGIVING.

Tomorrow Is the day set apart for
Thanksgiving. The day was origi-
nally intended for one OF fasting and
suppllcation to Deity. But of late
years this has largely given way to
one OF pleasure and amusement and

That the present water supply II
,n0t - m quality and will rapid1y

unnt as to quality and will rapidly
become worse is so plain as to need
no discussion. The present system
of pumping water up hill, to let 1t run
back again. is foolishly extravaeant
and should have been changed to
gravity system years ago, on the
ground of sound business policy alone,
regardless of the quality of water.
The pumping plant Is worn out and
must be renewed al once. at large
cost, If change of the system is not
made This Is the condition Durango
finds itself in today. It is condition
that must be met at once. and the so
luton calls for the best thought OF
the people because not only the pres
ent, but the future of the city largely
depends upon correct solving OF
this problem. We said, thought and
believe II will be real calamity, II
question so important to all OF us
is decided by prejudice. personal
spite and revenge for real or fancied
personal grievances. 1t Is a matter
that should be calmly considered and
discussed. and settled on its merits.
and not because certain people do or
do not like some other people. That
there is enough intelligent public
spirit and breadth of mind among our
citizens to enable them to consider
this matter in judicial spirit, is our
hope and belief. and we wish each
voter would carefully consider this
matter In all its phases-using his
mind and not his spleen.
Fifteen years ago the city of San
Diego California, was pumping wa
ter from the filthy sandbeds of the
San Diego river The city then had a
population of eight thousand. The
California boom of 1887 drew to San
Diego thirty-hve thousand people. and
all OF these people realized at once
that the city could not hope to hold
more than one-fourth of so many peo-
pie unless pure water could be OBJ
taIned There were two men in the
city who could see relief in the Cuya-
maca mountains, These men, Van
Dyke and Robinson, had no money.
but they had been hunting in these
mountains and conceived the idea
that the Cuyamacas would furnish
San Diego with water. They set out
to shape an enterprise which involved
the expenditure of something like
Two million dollars before the work
was completed There was not half
so much water In the Cuyamaca
mountains as flows in the Florida
river. The Cuyamaca and San Isabel
creeks had so little water that the
flow in either could not be seen ex-
cept where flowing over a rock bed.
Great dams were constructed TO catch
and conserve the rain waters and the
few springs. From the head dam to
the reservoir at the city the distance
IL tlfty-five miles. Seven tunnels were
constructed and fifty-five miles of red
wood tume four feet high and six
feet wide was required to convey the
water without loss in transmission.
What do the people of Durango pre-
sume the people of San Diego would
have done with such an opportunity
as we have today to secure the waters
OF the Florida? Durango cannot
reasonably contemplate the expendi-
ture OF more than $l50,000 San Die
owning the water system, but had to
purchase from a corporation ut cost
of two million dollars
