greater portion Of the San Juan en-
pire, matchless in richness and diver

The stage people were highly pleas
ed when informed by Postmaster Ray
mond the first of the week that com
mencing the 1lth of December mail
would be carried by train between Du-
range and Pennington. With only
mail running stage does not pay,
still the mail contract had to be com
piled with and there was nothing to do
but to carry 1t by stage until the de
partment decreed otherwise. And the
patrons of the route will also be pleas
ed. as 1t will give them a quicker ana
etter service.
The Democrat is great purveyor
of news. In its local columns THIS
morning it says Wilfie McLin and
wife came in from Pine river yester-
day to attend funeral. Mr.. McLin
has been in Durango the past two or
three weeks and his wife nearly as
long. Again the Democrat should NOT
get dates mixed with its Boston ser
vice. as in one column this morning
there was long account of the ap
preaching fstic encounter between
Gardner and Sullivan which slated the
event for this evening while in an
adjoining column was an account of
the battle which took place last night
This Is only a sample OF the news
given the public by the alleged morn
ing sheet However, 1t is better fill
ing space with stale matter than de
voting a couple of columns Of alleged
wit to papa"
John Conway. the railway builder.
formerly with most of the Rio Grande
construction, but more recently with
the construction of TIA miles of the
standard gauge Clark road from Salt
Lake 10 Los Angeles, came in last
night to visit his children and look
after property interests he has had
mere for a quarter of century. Mr.
Conway says his business has been
strictly OF railway nature but that
ne infers from the general activity
in the Utah. Nevada and California
sections where he has been that there
is something doing. He does not like
to tell anybody much about coun-
try. as he always thought the people
could get better idea by looking at
ii themselves. Mr.. Conway and his
son have carried the responsibility In
volved in giving the new short route
railway from the big lake to Los An
seles good road bed and safe track
for heavy traffic and rapid travel. 1t
is one of the lines which have been
needed almost from the day General
Fremont was exploring the farther re-
moved West.
