EPipEMicS IN CHINA.

In this yellow fever scare" said a
New Orleans man. "oru people could
not do better than to take a pattern
fro mtne emperor of China"
The emperor of China?"
Yes, for that man. when an epi-
demic appears in any province of his
kingdom, makes all the theaters OF
the province free and requires the in
habitants. under pain of death, to
60 to some place of amusement at
least once day.
Furthermore, he gives free exhibit
tions OF fireworks every evening, and
at these exhibitions attendance is com
pulsory.
What is the result7 The result is
that. from early morning till late at
night, the people, streaming In and out
of the free shows, or blinking and
gasping under the fireworks splendor
have minds occupied and tranquil
don't worry over the epidemic that is
scourging them-and hence keep al
most immune.
Our people. in the face of great
contagion. ought to be made to keep
continuously amused, like the Chinese.
Then. through weakness brought on
by worry, they wouldn't lay them
through fear they wouldn't fall to
fighting and rioting over questions of
quarantine"

EXCELLENT METHOD TO
ADVERTISE DURANGO

A letter was received from the
Judge Publishing company and Frank
Leslie's Weekly asking photographs OF
the Durango fair, indian games, bron'
cho busting and Indians. They offered
to pay 81 apiece for the photographs
which they accept
This is a chance for our photograph
ers to get in and not only secure 81
apiece for their photos, but also TO
secure national reputation from the
largest publications in America today.
All such photos should be finished
very sharply and delivered as soon
as possible to Secretary Armstrong OF
the Board Of Trade. This means
great advertising for this district
throughout the whole world.

SOME uNBLAzoNEo HEROES.

Baltimore American.
Among the heroes of the day must
be counted the Louisiana physicians
who are fighting the battle OF the peo.
pie against the dreaded scourge, and
who will not give up the fight, even
when stricken themselves. II often
takes more courage to face plague
and pestilence in the sick room tnan
danger on the field, for in the former
case there is none OF the excitement
of the fray nor the prospect of glory
to win in the end. 1t Is simply the
sacrifice OF life and all that makes
life worth living at the call of duty.
and many hero of the battlefield
would shrink in fear and loathing
from the danger fearlessly faced by
these nameless heroes in humanity's
cause.

70 EXTEND THE
BIG MORRISON DITCH

Dr. S. w. Morrison, who has done
much for the more extensive and bet
ter irrigation of the Southwest, Is
continuing his good work in the vicln-
ity of lgnacio and La Boca, east OF
Durango twenty-odd miles. He has al
ready expended $4,000 of his own
money in the big Morrison ditch and
ne is now carrying out a plan to ex-
tend the system so as to cover 20, ,OOO
acres more south of the Rio Grande.
The Iganico Mesa Ditch company, or.
ganized for this purpose. will secure
funds for the continuance of construc
tion.
The enterprise contemplates that a
round sum of s125.000 will consum.
mate the work and that 1t MAJ De

Those who wish TO engage in farming
in tnat section and who would desire
TO join in the construction of the irri
cation system. will be given an excel

When the system is complete 1t will
| carry $50 cubic feet of water, and the
water is in the country. There are
about 100000 acres OF land to irrigatt
and there is water enough to covel

Prompted solely by the conscious
ness of their own exalted purity and
q desire to dictate nominations at the
next state conventions. coterie OF
'hOlier than thou" political gentlemen
have gotten together in Denver and
organized what they call the State Vot
ers league, a foster brother of the
late Liberty league. The avowed in
tention of these gentlemen is to de-
ternine for the two great political
parties whom they should nominate
for Office and to incidentally urge
legislation which they think the par
ties should stand for. They are going
10 exercise supervision over the two
old political parties. Their task is a
self-appointed one. No body of citi-
zens has selected them The habit OF
people sending delegates to select
their candidates Is out of date. These
thirty or forty patriots know what is
good for the people and they are 60
ing to see that they get 1t. This
scheme will work beautifully in the
ory, but in practice 1t will fizzle out
for the very reason that 1t is self
appointed and not representative
body selected by the voters. Most of
these self-haloed political reformers
are Democrats. The Democratic party
may need such a body of guardian
angels. but the Republicans will con
tinue to do their political work
through their own party organization.
