oURANGo's IMMEDIATE FUTURE

The opening of spring is at hand
and everybody rejoices thereat, for We
have had tough winter-the worst
in the memory of that reliable and
honored citizen, the Oldest inhabi-
tant" Now we should shake off our
winter lethargy and all pull together
and help to make the coming season
the most prosperous in the history Of
our city.
Indications all point to a great year
for Durango. A number of enterpris-
es are on foot which will tend to con
summate this end so desirable.
The mining interests were never be-
fore in SO fine a condition. The pros
poets are good for grand development
of the Orc Fino. the Neglected and
the entire La Plata district. Right
here at Durangos front door, you
might say. we have the nucleus of
what we believe will prove one of the
greatest mining camps the world has
ever seen-possibly the greatest.
Why not? The mines so far develop
ed to any depth or extent have proved
to he fabulously rich. and each day
work is increasing the values. Other
mines in the vicinity of the producers
have flattering prospects. and the
owners are only impatiently awaiting
the advent of spring weather to com
mence active operations.
Here in Durango the prospects are
fine for busy season. The gigantic
smeter improvements are already
well in hand, and will be pushed as
rapidly as men and unlimited means
will permit.
The new waterworks system which
will give Durango the finest supply OF
pure water of any city in the state
will be inaugurated as soon as ar
army OF laborers can finish the work
A large number of new residences
and other buildings are contemplated
some of them already under CONTRACT
and work commenced.
Large areas Of new farming lands
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1903-03-23

are being reclaimed by new bitches
and will be brought into cultivation
this season.
And there are other potent reasons
for congratulation for the citizens of
Durango. Other enterprises are form
ing which are sure to come and sure
to increase the prosperity of the Smell
ter City.
So let everybody prepare for a pros
porous year, and help to bring about
the desired results and improve the
magnificent opportunities which pre-,
sent themselves to our notice.

lApropos of THE Pit" the Bool5man
tells a story about Frank Norris and
Edwin Lefevre, the author of wall
Street Stories" Mr.. Norris had ask
ed Mr. Lefevre to tell him what he
could of the intricacies of the stock
market, and one night the latter found
himself launched upon an eloquent de-
scription of panic. He described the
pandemonium on the floor, the groups
of frenzied brokers, the haggard faces
of men to whom the next change of a
point or two meant ruin. Then he
followed one man in particular
through the events of the day, and
pictured him cropping his way blindly
out of the gallery, a broken, ruined
man. Al this point Mr.. Lefevre. car
ried away by his own story, yielded to
the temptation to imagine dramatic
conclusion, and he told how the man
was still striding aimlessly along the
corridor, when the elevator shot past
and some one shouted Down." and
the ruined man, his mind still bent
upon the falling market, continued his
nervous striding, gesticulating fiercely
and repeating audibly, Down! down!

ed Mr. Norris, springing up excitedly;

DON'T CHANGE US MUCH
Ninth Judicial Court Bill Amended so that
Redwood County Gets Favor
able Dates.
Amendments Made Changing the Term of
Every County After Bill Was
Read Three Time.

Redwood county will have about
it's own dates in the matter of the
law for revising the time for hold
ing the different terms of district
court in the Ninth judicial district.
This is the result of compromise
between all the different senators
and representatives from the dis
trict. At one time it looked as
though Redwood and Lyon counties
were going to get the cold deck in
the matter of revising the dates,
the proposition being to place the
fall term of the court in Red wood
county just before the annual cleo
ton, something which would be
extremely bad for the boys in the
court house. This bill was intro
duced by Representative S. D. Pet
erson of New Ulm, who insisted
that it was drafted by Judge Web
ber
On last Friday, after the original
bill came from the printer, Mr.. Pet
erson moved to give it it's third
reading and place it upon it's final
passage. AS soon as the motion
was adopted and the third reading
was over Mr.. Clague sent up his
bunch of amendments. They we're
all adopted.
| In Redwood county the terms of
court will hereafter be held on the
third Tuesday in April and on the
first Wednesday after the first Mon
day of November of each year.
+. Nicollet county the terms Of
-couft i'll be held commencing on
the first Tuesday in May and on the
third Tuesday of October of each
year.
In Lyon county the terms of court
will be held commencing on the
first Tuesday in June and on the
third Tuesday in November of each
year.
In Brown county the terms of
court will commence on the third
Tuesday in May and on the second
Tuesday of December of each year.
In Lincoln county the term of
court will be held on the first Tues
day in October of each year.
This act will not 90 into effect I'M
til August 1st next, SO that the
spring terms of court this year will

this plan succeeds Judge Weber
will be relieved of some work.

EASTER AT THE CHURCHES.

All of the churches ia the city
had more or less elaborate programs
and decorations last Sunday.
AS usual, the Episcopal service
was noticeable for the musical fea-
lures in the morning, and the even
ing service was a children S festi-
val.
The Presbyterian church was
decorated 10 tasteful simplicity,
with festoons of green and white
Topped up beneath the vaulted cell
ing, and the usual flowers in profu-
sion about the pulpit and choir. The
choir rendered number of appro-
pirate anthems, and Miss Vivian
Peabody sang a solo in manner
that brought out the sentiment as
we'll as melody. In the evening
the young people furnished an
Easter service which is highly
spoken of by all who attended.
At the morning service of the M
E. church the big auditorium was so
we'll filled that many chairs were
added. The pulpit was almost bur-
led under bank of flowers, and
above the pulpit was a handsome
motto, Christ is Risen," draped at
either end with an American flag.
The music was worthy of the day,
the solo of Mrs. A. j. Jones seeming
almost as voice from the other
world. The inspiring sermon of Rev.

cutting them out Of the convention
combinations and influence. The
opposition at once contended that if
the railroad commissioners were to
be placed under the primary system
all of the state officials ought to be-.
Another argument advanced was
that the big vote of the cities. in
which the railroads centered, would
practically dictate the nominations
and candidates from the country
would stand no chance. A still
further argument used against the
bill was that the railroads would
contribute large sums of money in
newspaper advertising, and other
kinds OF advertising, for the men
they wished to have nominated. and
that, as result, the poor man, who
was really the true representative
OF the interests of the people, would
stand no show against the candi-
dates with money behind them. It
was this latter argument, together
with the suppressed feeling for no
further amendment of the primary
law, that resulted in the committee
knocking the bill good and hard
and it has met defeat from which
it cannot recover this year.
1t might be stated that the house
finally consented to the primary
election law reformers having their
way once-just once. and this in
the face of considerable opposition.
A bill was finally recommended to
pass which makes the judiciary
partisan: 1t provides that the
different candidates for the judiciary
district, and not the supreme
courts-may be placed on one ballot.
and the voter may vote for whom he
choses-Democratic, Republican or
Populist, if there are any of the
latter left. 1t was claimed on the
floor by those who were the enemies
of the proposition that this bill was
presented for the purpose of help

from day to day, the authors hoping
for a change Of sentiment. But
that change didn t come, and when
the bills came up for consideration
that day they had no sympathy
One of these bills called for a
blanket ballot, allowing the primary
voter to simply call for ticket, and
vote for whom he pleased. Another
bill called for the blanket ballot,
but provided that a voter, after
voting for the first candidate on a
ticket, must continue to vote for the
candidates of the party to which
that candidate belongs, and if he
changed from one party to another
the entire ballot would be defective
and would be thrown out by the
primary judges.
The latter bill came up first. Mr..
Anderegg, one of it's authors, made
quite an appeal in behalf of the
measure, but the members we're not
in a humor to listen. One of the
number Immediately moved an in
definite postponement of the bill.
This was quickly seconded, and
about as quickly put aud declared
carried. Mr.. Bowling was the
author of the other bill. He con-
tended that the voter should be
allowed, at the primary, the same
opportunity he is given at the cleo
ton, and asked for favorable
consideration of his measure. But
the members couldn t hear, and this
bill was turned down about as
quickly. Another bill, along the
same lire, was also defeated in
committee, and when the committee
arose, an attempt to except the first
two bills from it's report, met with
defeat.
On the day following the COM
mittee on elections attempted to
secure a favorable recommendation
from the committee of the whole
house of bill seeking to place the
railroad and warehouse commits
sioners under the primary election
law. The committee argued that it

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. Ell.
Gold, the two oldest children of Mr..
and Mrs. S. G. Peterson, and little
Carl Leland Apitz being presented.
Following this, seven new members
were received into the church. A
novel method was used for the an

drew upon the black board a picture
of the world, and peeping over it
was rabbit with a larege easter
egg in his embrace. This was mark
ed $50, and number of other eggs
represented SO and S. each. On

marked 81 ard So each. In fifteen
minutes from the time he began,
Mr.. Lutz had all the eggs and
squares sold, amounting to $780, in
creased by later additions to $40.
This was more than 500 above any
previous year.
In the evening the Sunday school
rendered a program of a miscelane-
Gus nature, largely musical. The
choir rendered two fine selections
and Miss Abigale Lutz sang a solo.
