A Durango man with rubbering pro
clivities says there is vast differ
ence In the way women raise their
skirts when crossing dusty or muddy
streets. The woman with $40 embroid-
cred silk hose is not al all ashamed
to let the fact be known while the one
with the 20 cent quality is not so par
ticular If her skirts do get contami-
mated with the dirt.
The Western Federation is holding
meeting at Ouray today. The pur
pose is surmised to be for calling OFF
the strike. the mines now having
everything they ask for except that
employers will make no discrimina
ton between union and non-union
men. The session is expected to last
two days. They are still in session AT
3:45 this afternoon.
Ouray physicians were bafiled in the
case of Mrs X. A. Mcknight last
week The lady went into coma
tose state and remained in that con
dition SO hours and for a long time
II was a question when death ensued.
Mrs. Mcknight had been nursing ty
phoid fever patients for some time,
which is alleged to have had some
thing to do with the hysteria-catalep-
tic condition which lasted so long
Montrose people are agitating for
pure water supply, some advocating
an expenditure of one hundred thous-
and dollars If necessary. A pure and
lasting water supply is a blessing
sure enough. The two hundred thous-
and dollars spent by Durango a year
ago was the wisest expenditure the
city ever made. Five years from now
the same rights would cost our peo-
pie at least half million of dollars
The doors at the High school will
be open at 7:45 tonight and the per
formance will commence at 80. That
means at $50 prompt. A theatrical
troupe at an opera house would adver-
tise the curtain to raise at a certain
hour and then wait half an hour long
er for more people to get in. But it
would never do for a school to do that
for II is contrary to school teachings,
So people who want to get the full
benefit of the entertainment should
be in their seats at $3.50.

The Telluride Journal is devoting
some space to the telephone service
in that place. 1t says since the resig.
nation of two operators some months
ago there has been much complaint
And then the Journal makes a right
cons protest against the practices of
some OF the patrons. 1t says In one
instance young lady has been In the
habit Of using the Marshal basin line
about half an hour each afternoon
sparkling with her lover to the great
Inconvenience OF other patrons, and
the management has been forced to
call the courtship by phone of, The
Journal also recites another instance
of woman calling up a friend every
day and entertaining her with a phon-
ogrophic concert for an hour or so.
There is no question but that phone
