Young Corbett Is now among the |
has beens" This is the route of every
pugilist and one of these days Jeffries

There is righteous economy and
is false economy. We believe the new

TO the first mentioned and at the same
time be broad-minded in the better
ment Of roads and other matters com
ing up for their consideration.

There is work for an active board
oil trade. The new year will witness
the commencement of work on broad

with this enterprise Will come many
others. Our people cannot get down
to business any too quick for their
own good.
Albert lizard, a young man working
in Balls foundry, had his arm broken
today. He was working at the lathe
and his sieve, hanging down caught

Railroad surveyors have been run
ming lines through streets OF Duran
go the past few days. 1t is not believ-
ed this is the work of the Rio Grande,
for that company has long had all
data of that kind. Some company is
| figuring on going through the town or
around 1t, perhaps to run line east
ward towards Pagosa Springs and
Creede.
The Ophr Mail has again sue
cumbed. We have often wondered why
some people persist in running news
papers where the income is not one
half decent salary working for some
one Some alleged newspaper men
think the public owe them a living
whether they earn it or not and con
| tinue to push their publications on
the people and consider that 1t is
a privilege to be coveted by merchants
to have them owe large bills which
cannot be collected.
| Having determined to have spring
races, those back of the movement
should arrange dates in advance in
order not to conflict with other asso-
Citations. In selecting dates 1t will be
well to take in consideration that
Trinidad precedes Pueblo one week.
then after Pueblo, comes Colorado
Springs and then Denver. With at
tractive purses horsemen will improve

son in Durango, coming here in advan-
ce for training purposes,
Should the election Of Adams bring
about change in the local superin-
tendent of the La Plata county fish
hatchery. the fact will be regretted by
every resident of this southwest sec
| ton. Under Mr.. Patrick the streams
OF the southwest are being stocked
and If he is continued there will be
no danger of retrogression. The Her
aid confidently trusts that this one
position will remain undisturbed ana
to this end we believe every one who
voted for Adams will so petition.
By notice printed elsewhere in
this issue it will be seen that large
amount of the land withdrawn by the
government from entry some time ago
has been restored to settlement. The
land was withdrawn pending investi-
CATION by the government of reser-
vior sites. The land restored to en-.
try is mostly in the mountains be
tween here and Ouray Some of 1t is
in Montezuma county west of aMncos
and great deal is around lockwood.
Those interested in keeping track OF
this land should cut the notice out
and file 1t away
