If you would learn which mesa is

ask each farmer, each cowboy and

he lives on. He will tell you. A re-
cent visit to the great mesa on the
east dsie of the La Plata river. about
fifteen miles from Durango, and north
of the old Fairgrounds or the Utes
and Navajos, revealed new conditions
which were hoped for as long as thir.
ty years.
Thirty years ago Johnnie Pond,
George Lockhart, Lark Reynolds and
Frank Williams and few others
were trying to locate on lands near
the New Mexican line, which were
claimed by the Utes and leased to the
more industrious Navajos. The line
dividing New Mexico from Colorado
was not well established, or at least,
not well known at that time, and the
adventures who went there had to
contend with both tribes of Indians.
One morning Lockhart, failing to es-
tablish protocol, knocked down a
half dozen Indians and put the others
to fight and went to blowing. This
was on the low ground where ditch
could be taken out with little elbow
grease and about eight dollars worth
OF bacon and flour, without anything

sa or plains attracted considerable.
attention for more than quarter of
a century. People had located lands,
all that could be had, until the Ute
reservation was opened in severalty
for allotment, and there had been SO
much talk about irrigation enter
prises that the government, in a kind
ly mood. came In to see II 100000
acres could be reclaimed at thirty
dollars an acre for water. They found
only $1,000 acres which could be coy
cred for such a price. and it Is not
known II the government will take up
this project.
But the people who have already
provided themselves with prior water

REPORT ABOUT RAILROAD
BUILDING EXAGGERATED


A report was in circulation around
town today that party of D. & r. G..
surveyors and right-of-way men were
in town to commence the work OF run
ming a line from Durango to Creole,
which would be broad gauge. The
report said that twenty men were at
the Strater hotel today and were be-
ing QUILTED for he field. This report
was caused by story in the Denver
Post last night. The only right-of-
way man known to be here for the ID,
& r. G. is G. A. Mock, and Mr.. Shone
master mechanic, is also here. The
story in the Post follows:
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. ct Is
stated by Vice President and General
Manager p. z. Book of the Weather
fcrd. Mineral Wells & Northwestern
railway, that the Gould interests plan
extending the line northwest through
Texas with a view to shortening the
| transcontinental line, thereby avoid
ing the desert about FL Paso. The
supposition is the line will conect IL
| Colorado with the Denver & RfS
Grande. Book stated that surveyors
we're out with sealed instructions ant
that he could not say at this TINT
what the final destination would be.
Gould for some time has been trying
t oconnect his Southern and North
ern systems of railroads. and an ex
tension of the ID. & II. G. was bull
from Durango to Pennington, N. NJ.
a short time ago. ostensibly for thu
purpose OF holding n right-ofwa.
through that section of the countr,
for line from points south of Farm
ington. If the Weatherford. Minera
Wells & Northwestern railway is ex
tended It will probably be built tc
connection with the Pennington line
I'm the meantime, broad gaug
line will will be built from Durang
to Creole and the Denver & Ri
Grande will have a direct standar
gauge line from Durango and Denver
This will give Gould a connection be
tween the Texas & Pacific and othe
lines. which make up his Northern
system"
