MANcoS MAN lNvENTS
NEW STYLE VALVE

Mr.. f. W. Broadhead of Mancos has
invented a new kind of valve, a model
of which he has just had made at the
Ball foundry. Mr.. Broadhead has
been in Durango the past few days
looking after the work. 1t was fin
ished yesterday and Mr.. Broadhead
returned home this morning. The in
vention has been patented, and it is
believed by those who have seen 1t
that 1t will in time displace the old
style valves. description without
picture is impossible so as to make
it plain to the reader. However,
brief description will be given with
out trying to be technical. There is
cast iron frame in the shape of a
V, standing 80 inches high and 30
inches long. The v rests between a
square piece of casting at each end.
There is a double disc on both sides
of the v. In each disc are openings
toward the center instead of outward.
The water goes through these open
ings, which contain 200 inches of
space. The discs are turned by means
of worm, the rod for turning which
extends out through the outlet for the
water. The discs fit so close together
that nothing can get between them.
They are very easily turned by means
of the worm. The discs are made of
brass.
Mr.. Broadhead claims the following
advantages for his valve:
That the pressure on all parts of
the valve being equal. it will outlast
the wedge gate valve. which soon be-
gins to wear on account of unequal
pressure and begins to leak.
There is no place to catch any sedi-
ment. If the worm becomes clogged
by sediment 1t will be cleaned simply
by turning it..
No silt can get in between the discs
because they fit too closely and it
can't clog.
1t is operated from the land instead
of from a tower built in the reservoir.
To change the flow of water from 1t
you stand over the outlet and turn a
wheel which turns the worm. You
can see when you have the flow de-
sired, which cannot be done from a
tower.
Towers are often destroyed by the
ice when 1t is breaking up in the
spring, and there would be no such
thing with the new valve.
If stick gets into the valve 1t
can be cut in two by turning the
worm.
A cast iron piece connects with the
outlet end of the frame holding the v
through which the water runs as
through box.
Mr.. Broadhead says he intends
making valve to be used for steam
on the same principle.
He invented the valve two years
ago, making small one which he
used on a reservoir. So he knows
by experience and trial that 1t Will
do all that he claims for it. The one
he has Just had made is intended for
John Bauers reservoir in Montezuma
county.
The work is fine piece of mechan-
ism, and emphasizes the fact that
anybody can get anything in Durango
they want, and If they don't see what
they want all they have to do is to
call for II.

FOR SUGAR sEETs
AND PROSPERITY

The farmers will rue the day II
they permit the calamity howlers
to cheat Durango out of beet sugar
factory. There are always few who
advise holding off and If this advice
is taken 1t means this section will be
permitted to Jog along In the same
old rut. The Herald wants this sugar
factory and the people want it-they
need 1t badly. Now get down to busi-
ness. Only a week longer to secure
the necessary guarantee. In this con-
nection the following communication
In the Dolores Star hits the nail
squarely on the head:
Dolores, Colo, Nov. %. 1905.
Mr.. Editor:-Will you kindly give
me space in your paper for a few
lines? see by your last issue that
someone is advising the farmer to not
be in any hurry In signing acreage for
the beet factory. I wish to say to the
farmers that 1t is fact that we have
only few days left in which to Sc
cure the required number Of acres tc
insure a factory for this coming year.
| II will take from now until the beets
| are ready to harvest to get the fac
tory ready to handle the beets in the
fall. What more can the beet factory
offer you? They will loan you in ad-
vance IS per acre, will hire you ma
chinery to farm the beets, will send
In help to thin and harvest your beets.
and It will make beet farming as easy
as any other crop you are now rails
Ing. think our average farmer in
! this locality Is too wideawake to lis
ten to the calamity howlers of the
dropes. Mr.. Farmer come forward
and sign today for few acres. II
you can't plant forty acres, plant what
you can. and let US with one effort,
altogether. roll the heavy load Of debt
off our shoulders and bring brighter
and better conditions into Montezuma
county. A factory in Durango for
1907 and another in .Montezuma val
ley for 1908 is the promise. Will YOU
help? feel sure you will, so l will
say leave your name and number of
acres with M. M. Blair. r. 8. s. Fox,

beets and prosperity.

The lot OF the CRATER is not an
easy one these days. OF course there
are various kinds OF grafters. The
government is after the big fellows
while the average citizen is after the
small fry office-holders--the kind who
work city and county governments for
both small and large sums In excess
to what they are entitled to. And the
Herald desires to say that the man
who obtains graft OF a hundred or
five hundred dollars illegally Ia as
much a thief as the man who steals a
maverick and should be punished.
True. In some instances such individ-
uals are honored by being continued
in high pieces, but the fact remains
just the same and the people know 1t,
too, and to have the finger Of scorn
pointed at one as he walks down the
street should be sufficient to drive
