The Aztec Index and q few indl-
viduals in San Juan county, N. NJ.
are being gulled by Dave Day in re-
gard to boycott of San Juan county
fruits. There Is no kick against the
| establishment of depot in this city
and so far as the Herald Is able to
ascertain there is a general desire
that the growers receive every cent
possible for their fruit and just
why any one to the south OF us
should undertake to create sentiment
and division is beyond reasoning. OF
course copying Democrat articles may
convince few that the same repre-
sent Durangotes. but seems as though
the people have been fooled enough
by this man. Didn't they have an ap-
pie experience?
The most Objectionable feature of
the unjust and dirty TRADE appearing
in the columns of the Democrat each
day is that 1t estranges the people
divides the community, and makes en-
emies out of friends. II Is fact that
no sane person takes the Democrat
seriously when II essays to give ad
vice. The motives of the editor are
too well known for laboring men to
heed his rantings. But the feeling
against the Democrat is so strong
that ii enters into the personal rela-
tlonship of many of our townsmen
We cannot blame those who have been
attacked and reviled In the Democrat
columns for resenting the same. 1t
is a pity the sheet is in our midst
Without 1t our city would be at peace.
And above all, the Herald desires to
frankly state that very few communi-
ties would stand 1t to have their bust
ness interests and reputable citizens
maigned day In and day out.

THE AssESSoRSHIP.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
AS time Is near at hand when con
ventions will select candidates for
the various positions it might be n
good idea to look around and discuss
available timber. II Is the concensns
of opinion that great care should he
exercised this fall in the selection of
assessor and commissioner, and inter
ested ones should make 1t their bust
ness to keep agitatlng in the inter
ests of the nomination of the best ma
terial for both parties. In regard to
the assessorship. the writer has con
versen with many, and all are unit
for the nomination of w N. Bagby. A
Democrat who has taken a leading
part in every convention of his party
in this county, and himself been hon
ored stated the other day that if the
Republicans would nominate Mr. Bag
by he was confident the Democrats
would endorse his candidacy, so anX-
ious are the people TO have a man in
the office who is thoroughly compe-
tent and familiar with the duties of
the office. There may be equally
good men. but Mr.. Bagby's qualifica-
tions have been proven. Whether he
could be persuaded to make the race
is another question, but he might be
prevailed upon in response to united
demand. BY kindly giving this space
in The Herald, 1t will bring the mat
ter before the voters.

Up to the hour of going to press no
meeting has been called to discuss the
Orc Fino road. 1t is not possible to
get the commissioners together, and
there seems TO be division as to the
route that should be followed. There
should be no side differences. Let us
have road.
Good roads have much to do with
the welfare of any community. A
good road to the Orc Fino district will
be worth thousands of dollars to Du-
range, and the $4,000 necessary to
build should be forthcoming in some
way. 1t is not right that the same
should be raised by few contrib
utors. The entire community is ben
Gifted and should contribute its mite.
The commissioners should give the
matter careful consideration without
reference TO what Day advises. 1t is
always safe proposition to go against
his advice.

THAT road is going to be built, and
that before long" said a gentleman to
the Herald. in speaking of the road
south of here. The speaker is a man
whom there is reason for believing is
informed upon the subject of which
he spoke. He further said that actual
building would be commenced before
the end of the present year, and the
road would be rushed to completion
with all possible speed. AS to
whether It was the Rock Island or the
Denver 4 Rio Grande or some other
road, he would not say. The work Of
the surveyors strengthens the belief
that the road will be built. The lines
being run by the surveyors are being
tied to section corners and monuments
all along. and the work has all the
characteristics Of being permanent.
