ID W. Palmer OF Silverton intro.
dnced b. F. Scribner, secretary OF the
Business Mems association, and he
made few remarks. in which he ten
dered the thanks Of the association
for the unexpected and princely re-
ception given them by the people of
Sllyerton. Charles Henkle, OF the
Henkle-Duke Mercantile company
also made few remarks. Mayor
Mcconnell of Durango, who had ac-
companied the party from here, made
quite q little speech In which he call
ed attention to the benefits to be de-
rived from the trip made by the visit
ors. He thought 1t good thing for
the business men OF Pueblo and the
business men of Durango to get ac-
quainted, and believed In encouraging
and building mp such friendships. BY
standing together and working to-
gether the various sections Of the
southwest could accomplish wonders
which they could never accomplish in
any way except by uniting One
thing we could do would be to con
troll legislation OF which this section
stands In great need. Heretofore
there has been a lack Of organization,
lack OF acquaintance and lack OF un-
derstanding, and this has been the
reason that 20 little could be accom-
plished. He said the time was not far
distant when we could leave Duran
90 and arrive In Pueblo in IL hours.
arriving there In daylight instead OF
after midnight. and also that we
would before long be able to reach
Los Angeles In 36 hours. These
things, he said, we're not among the
possibilities, but were real facts. He
closed by urging that efforts be made
for a closer alliance between the city
of smelters and steel works and the
entire southwest.
They left Silverton on the return
trip at 7:40 and ran slow as pre-
caution against accidents. They
waited 80 minutes at lockwood for
the passenger going to Silverton. and
at the Home ranch some delay was
caused by a nard rain having washed
mud over the track.
| They arrived In Durango at IL
o'clock and were escorted to Redmen
hall In spite Of the late hour. There
they remained with the reception com.
mittee for about an hour Claret
punch. sandwiches and cigars were
served, The Red Men orchestra had
been secured for the occasion but ow-
ing to the late hour did not wait.
Various citizens made little talks. and
Paul Wilson. boosting for the State
Fair association OF Pueblo, spoke en-.
tertainingly in regard to the fair this
fall.
