The attempted fusion in New York
against Mayor Mcclellan has given
out. He has given the metropolis the
best administration it has had in many
years and it is gratifying to see that
the people appreciate it and will give
him another term.

WILL BE \ HOLIDAY.

Though there will be no official
proclamation making Thursday. Octo-
Der 18th, a general holiday in North
Carolina, the news comes from all
over the State that the people of their
own accord will make it general
holiday and come to Raleigh on the
day that the President will speak at
the Fair in Raleigh. Many schools
will suspend on that day, quite num-
Der of factories will close down so
that all the people may come to Raj
eigh to hear the President. The only
extended speech he will make during
his trip through North Carolina will
be at Raleigh from a special stand
erected at the Fair grounds
They are all coming and there will
be more people in Raleigh on Thurs

The States Crying Need.


Charity and Children, in d recent
issue, says that twenty-five young
people left Thomasville this fall to
attend high schools and colleges
as opposed to the half dozen who
went to college from that town four
years ago. Graded schools have made
this difference, and indeed the grad
ed school is the prime factor in the
education of children of any town,
whose people have been far-sighted
enough to lay this bedrock of educa-
ton in their community. The crying
need of our people now is not so
much for better colleges and uniVer-
stiles and stronger ones as it is for
good common schools, not three
months term with inadequate teach
ing force and poor equipment, but
an eight or nine months term with
competent teachers and enough of
them to give every child their individ-
ual attention. Stand by your common
schools and in that way you will
do most to advance the cause of the
university for from the country acad-
envy and the town graded school do
the colleges and the universities draw
their best and strongest support.

better opportunities for wonderful
growth during the next few years

scarcely any place of like size has as
many notable improvements in pros

THE TAX QUESTION.


SibtuebfoH tVS Wy TAU
The time is near at hand when the
county officers will undertake the ad.
Indication OF taxes OF the various dis
tricts and OF La Plata county.
1t mas been suggested by several
members of the board of trade that
taxes may be reduced In the county
by curtalling and trimming down the
expenses OF some OF the school dis
tricts. particularly school district No.
3, and by lessening the expenses in
other directions. II this can be done
in view OF an increase OF some $780,
900 In the assessed valuation in the
county. It may be possible to make a
reduction In taxes That will be OF ma
terial benefit to all residents OF the
county by funding high rate interest
bonds for lower rate, and In other
ways aiding the county and school
district officials In bringing about this
desirable result.
So that the citizens may be In
formed upon the conditions existing
at the present time. and Just how a
reduction may be reached, IT has been
thought advisable by the officers OF
the board Of trade to call a meeting
OF the board Of trade at the city hall
In Durango. on July "a at O'Clock
p. m, and invite In all those who are
Interested. such as the board Of
county commissioner. school board
Of district No. y. and boards Of other
school districts in, the county as well
as city officials aud well informed
citizens on the conditions of the past
and possible outlay for expenditures

stated. and II you are interested in

THE GREAT GOLD CAMP

Joe Weinig is among the luckiest.
he discovered the rich Durango Girl
mine when he was almost a kIdlet.
This property nas produced great
quantity of high grade ore and was
held at 100000 the last time its sale
was discussed, Just prior to tne or.
ganization of company with capt

years ago by some fellows who spent
most OF their time in Durango seeing
which could be the best fellow. Il
was not until recently that Mr.. Wei
mig begun systematic sampling of the
ore, but he Is now satisfied that he
has a new gold shipper.
The Columbus, though recognized
by every practical mining man In the
La Plata district as one OF the great
est gold mines In Colorado, has lain
idle for six years. Shortly after the
three men were killed In the 3OO-foot

have shipped many cars of high
grade tellurlum ore are idle and nave
been the greater part Of the time for
