Former Governor l.. B. Prince OF

Palace, is meeting a number of old
friends today. He is favorably i'm
pressed with the appearance of Du-
range as a delightful town from a res
idence standpoint and substantial
town from a business standpoint.
One Of the handsomest of Durango's
many handsome young women wears
a large, low heel on her snoe. 1t is
great contrast to the high-heeled
French style, which throws the weight
almost entirely on the toes. The
~earer OF the largeheeled shoe is
vastly more comfortable than the
wearer of the high heels and shows
an independence Of spirit in braving
toe dictates of fashion.
No arguments were advanced by
Rev. Ferguson in yesterdays article
why Republicans should go back on
their ticket in the coming election.
In fact after reading the article Tie
Herald is more convinced than ever
that every Republican should vote MS
ticket and in doing so he or she will
lot be following partisan politics, but
voting for the best interests of the
city.

OF San Juan county, N. NJ, is in the

Chief Engineer Yard of the Denver
4 Rio Grande was in town Sunday,
looking over the line. Under his in
structions Mr.. Furman, acting with
the committee appointed by the boik'u
of trade, went over the grounds Mon

be located near the adobe building

More farmers were in the city today
than for mary months, some of them
being unable to make the trip for
weeks owing to the impossible con.
dition Of the roads. The past week
nas made quite change, however,
and the principal inconvenience is
by rough and washed out roads. There
will sure be work for the road over
seers in La Plata county this spring.
The indepepdent ticket contains
the name of G. L. Russell for clerk.
The Herald has no objection to this.
but we do object to the impression
conveyed that Mr.. Davis will not fol-
low ais oath of Office in attending to
his duties Just as honestly and just
as faithfully as Mr.. Russell, although
his name appears only on the Repub.
lican ticket. If there is more ex-
emplary young man in the city than
Mr.. Davis We want the tnrd ticket
trainers to trot him out. And what is
more. Mr.. Davis is well qualified for
the position. Republicans, vote your
ticket straight.
