nominated on the first ballot. George

address that reused the convention to
cheers, in seconding the nomination
of Turner. Further down the list,
when Montana was called, Senator w.

of Turner. The Montana magnate was

FEW STOVES IN MEXICO.
Eireplaces and Furnaces Are Mostly
in Use for Cooking and Heat
ing Purposes.

Heating is not of so much Importance
here is lighting, because of Durango's
splendid climate. Despite the altitude
of over 5000 feet, 1t is not often the
thermometer goes below the freezing
point at night during winter, and "a
degrees Fahrenheit Is reported to be
the usual minimum. In so dry an at
mosphere greater cold than this can be
endured without discomfort. The peo-
pie here are, as usual in such countries.
more Injured to the cold they have than
people coming even from colder cli-
mates, especially Americans, accus-
toned to furnace-heated houses. Most
Of the houses in Durango have, there
fore, had no other arrangement for
heating than was provided by the char
coal braziers of brick masonry in the
kitchen. If necessity arose, a rather
crude charcoal brazier of metal is
placed in the sitting room, warming it
somewhat, but also vitiating the air.
The newer houses here are now being
provided with fireplaces; some few
have furnaces. The American resi-
dents, who in most cases can find no
houses with fireplaces, either provide
them or use oil stoves. Wood stoves
can be used by sticking the stovepipes
out of the windows or into the court
yards; few houses have chimneys.
Anyone having patent heater of
any sort, suitable for such conditions
and needed for use mornings and
nights, mig. find an opening here,
certainly with the American residents
and perhaps with the native popula-
ton. If burning oil, it should not be
the usual crude, malodorous and unhy-
gienic oil heater.
Cooking stoves are, as indicated, lit
tie sold here. Charcoal is the cheaper
fuel, and the people are used to the
open braziers to cook on. When the
timber resources of western Durango
are more developed, there may be
better market for some lines of cook
stoves.

The reading public will get all the
news that can be obtained by the news
papers, and that is the best that they
can expect under the circumstances.
No reputable paper will knowingly
place false intelligence before it's
readers. The situation calls to mind
the story of a mining camp where an
execrable performer was trying to en-
terrain the crowd at a saloon on a
more execrable piano. The saloon
keeper felt that an apology to his
guests was necessary, and so he put up
a placard with the inscription, "Please
do not shoot the piano player; he is
doing the best he can." The public
should like wise give credit to the news
papers for doing the best they can.
