Pi-IimeS and Pick-upS
Justice

They are gathering in Portsmouth, tc
patch up a little peace,
And the ENJOYS and commissioners will
make the war to cease;
But while all of this is doing, in Man
churia far away,
1 am wondering and guessing, what will
Kuropatkin say?
Kuropatkin, who retreated-and re
treated once again,
And finally was beaten, with his half G
million men
Linevitch is his successor. but he ISM
in the play;
If peace comes before he battles, what
will Kuropatlxin say?
Linevitchky chap;
And turn down the grim old warrior who
bore all the sad mishap?
Will the former be a hero, and the latter
be a jay?-
When the peace is made at Portsmouth
what will Kuropatkin say?
Oh, know he never won, but then. see
what force he had
The rotten grating empire had the vet
eran to the bad;
Then the czar fired this old fighter and
put Linevitch, the jay,
In the job, and he stood planted-what
will KuropatlSin say?
Yes, perhaps he was failure-but he die
the best he could
With the men he had. We'd honor this
old man f we understood.
But now Linevitch is leader-he's nc
chance to run away!
When the peace is made and over, what
will KuropatlSin say?
New Jersey is to build 100-mile boule-
ward. They'll have to take good many
loops in 1t, to keep 1t in the state.
If Statistician Holmes needs a job, he

MAYOR MCCONNELL EXPLAINS

In talking with Mayor Mcconnell
this morning he explained to Her.
aid representative why the city recog-
nized the street commissioners bill
| for IS days In May. He said that II
was owing to the unexpected high wa
ter In the Animas and the bridge be.
Ing In great danger OF going out and
that to protect the city property and
avoid accident to the travelling pub
lie.
The city did not have time to ad.
vertise for bids to make the neces
sary repairs and the work was done
by the day under the supervision OF
the street and alley committee and
the expense could not have been less
under the emergency.
The mayor also explained why the
city did not advertise for bids on hay
and grain saying that the city had no
place TO store but small quantity
at time. The city owns from $1,000
to $1,000 worth OF tools and they are
scattered over the city owing to hav-

them. The old waterworks and the
old trap barn on the city hall lots are
the places principally used, and they
are not safe places for the storage of
a dollars worth Of property.
The mayor has recommended at
different times the practicability of
erecting n suitable building on the
city lots. corner OF Tenth and Second
avenue which would not cost 20 ex-
ceed $1,000 to store supply of hay
and grain and the tools, hose and otn-
er property belonging to the city.
The Herald can easily see where
the mayor is right As 1t now stands
men employed on city work have to
go to the old waterworks building for
tools and other places before getting
to work, which costs money and at
the end OF the year great deal Of
time Is consumed In going and com
Ing from that point
II the city had safe and conven-
lent place TO store the tools and pro
perty used by men employed at so
much per hour great saving could
be made to the city annually In this
matter the mayor should be sustain.
ed, and the taxpayers will cheerfully
conform.
The commissioner would then know
whore every tool belonging to the city
could be found and he could account
for the old az well MS the new.
The taxpayers of Durango will new
er protest against the expenditure OF
their money 30 long as they know
where IT. goes, and they get the ben
eft BY the city having this addition
al building every man would have a
starting point to commence their
days work.
No city the size OF Durango is
without safe and central point for
the storage OF tools and property used
every day.
The mayor extends a cordial invi-
tation to any and all those Interested
In Improvements being made or con
templatsd. to visit the council cham
Der or at his place of business; and
he will be glad to give them hearing
and try and profit from any sugges-
tion they may have to offer.
