DOCTOR
M0RR|SON'S
SUGGESTION
Editor Durango Herald:

Editor Durango Herald:
Dear Sir.-Your sew eral articles in
the last copy of paper received remind
me to write of a means of develop
ment of this country of vast import
ance. viz: The building of an cleo
trio freight line from lgnacio up tho
Pine river into the heavily timberei
district, fifteen to twenty miles north.
The cost OF building the road would be
very small so would also its opera
ton, for the freighting would be very
largely the haul of sawed lumber
down grade. There is not the least
doubt about an investment in an cleo
trio line here paying well, constructed
at first to the southern limit of the
vast pine area, and soon afterward
pushed on to the Emerald lake region.
| am very greatly interested in the
preservation of our timber forests, but
it is not sensible to allow fine timber
to go to decay and fall down useless
when it can and should be made a
source of wealth to our country. This
decay has gone on too long now
take out the matured trees and save
the young growth-giye the young
growth room. The present policy of
the government in dispos' ng Of timbe"
lands is very wrong. Matured trees
only should be. disposed OF, the cutting
lie done under the 5uuo' 'iaion Of A
land Office agent, no title to the land
being transferred and the profits from
the sale OF timber being pa .tly rein
vested in tie care of young timber re-
naming, and, If needed, the planting
of seed. This is the best method |
know of to preserve our forests. From
decay and great fires very great and
wrongful waste of timber is annual Y
occurring. An electric line and the
preservation of matured timber in La
La Plata county by sawmills, will be
the greatest source OF wealth likely to
be realized here in the near future

STATISTICS OF BIRTHS.
United States Behind Other N tions in
Gathering Reliable Information.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., March T.
The other day congress passed a reso-
luton requesting the favorable con
slderauon and cooperation of the
state and municipal authorities
throughout the country with the cen
sus Office and the American Public
Health association for tine accurate
registration Of births ana deaths and
other vital statistics. Although the
most progressive Of countries. the
United States is far behind the gov
ernments of Europe in legislative en-
actmeRts and agencies for complete
and uniform systems OF registration of
births and deaths. The importance OF
such statistics is becoming more and
more apparent to medical and sani-
tary science, as well as to students of
sociology A plan OF cooperation
based upon the most intelligent salts
factory methods used by France and
Germany has been formulated. and ii
Is hoped that before the next general
census a complete and uniform system
may be adopted throughout all the
states.
In searching the volumes of statis-
tics for evidence to show the size Of
the family in the United States one
gets very little satisfaction, but so far
as the figures 90 they prove that the
foreign population lives fully up to
President Roosevelts requirements, al
though the native population in nearly
all the states falls far below the stand
ard he has established in his own
home. The average annual rate of in
crease oi our population calculated by
the excess Of birth over deaths is only
1915 per 900 for mothers Of native
birth and native parentage: and, what
is more surprising the rate of in
crease for the colored race was slight
ly less than for white parents, being
only us uar 1000 An even more sig.
nificant fact is pointed ont relative
to the b.r,n rate in New England
where tie annual increase Of native
families ls represented by only 3.S per
600 against 1915 per 1000 for foreign
| families.
