PROCLAMATION.

May 30tn of this year is designated
as the day set aside in honor of the
patriots who fought in the war of the
rebellion.
Each succeeding year adds to the
number of graves, already numerous
in our cemeteries. OF the men who
marched in the ranks to perpetuate
liberty and freedom for all time and,
as the seasons roll around, we are
more forcibly reminded that 1t will
be but short time when there will
be none of the boys in blue to answer
to call of taps" here upon earth.
With these thoughts uppermost In
our minds. call upon the citizens
of Durango to cease business on Wed
nesday, May 80, A. D. 1906. between
the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p. m, and
join with Sedgwick Post No. IL In
the proper observance of the day.
As we love individual liberty, lei
us show our loyalty one day in the
year at least, by spreading flowers or
the graves of those who offered their
lives for the preservation OF our free
institutions.
1t is requested that as, many as can
be. .at the cemetery on Saturday, May
Goth, to put the grounds in order fol
Memorial day.

A MOST WORTHY
HOME ENTERPRISE

b. w. Solomon is giving Durango
an enterprise which should receive
general encouragement by property
owners throughout the city. He Is
constructing cement walks the same
as those in front of the w. T. Kirk
patrick and j. l.. Parsons places on
Third avenue. He is Just finishing
a 50-foot walk for Geo. w. Lewis and
beginning one for S. w. Raymond.
Mr.. Gedney and others have also con-
tracted for such walks. The desira-
bllity for these walks, both in beau
tifying homes. securing permanent
improvement, is at once apparent to
all. and that people should get what
comfort they can ont of their homes
while they are alive goes without
saying.
Mr.. Solomon gives guarantee
that these walks will last 10 years,
whereas the board structure is un-
likely to last more than a year or SO.
and is always unsightly. MIR. Solo

o.

The arrest and conviction of John
kearns of Silverton at Animas City
for using firearms in the north com
mons of Animas City yesterday has
caused much unfavorable comment.
Mr.. Kearns who was in Durango to
take examination as a range rider on
tne forest reserve, knowing that his
ability as marksman would be
questioned. invited some of his
friends to go out of the city where
there would be no danger of lnjurine
life or property, and they took the car
to the north terminus and then walk
ed well out of the town of Animas
where Mr.. Kearns begun his prac
tice. The Animas marshal was not
long in finding and pouncing upon
him, and would have arrested the
whole party but for the fact that Mr..
Kearns was the only one who fired
shot. He was taken before the
Animas police magistrate and fined
So and costs, amounting in all to S13

LISTENED TO MR.. oAvIE.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
OF the board of trade directors and
members Saturday evening TO listen
to Il. p. Davie on the sugar beet
proposition. Mr.. Davie is president
OF the plant at Grand Junction, the
same company that Is expending a
million dollars In beet factory at
Garden City, Kans. Mr.. Davie start
ed out by stating that there was mon
ey for sugar factories where condf-
tions were right. These conditions,
he stated. required an acreage OF at
least $4,000 under cultivation within
a radius OF 100 miles OF the plant and
contiguous to railroads. He said, as
a rule, bccts should not be hauled
ever four miles TO railroads, although
he knew many making money hauling
six and seven miles. With a cultivat-
ed acreage of $4,000 1t was generally
safe to figure on an average OF hye
to six thousand acres each year be-
| ing planted to beets. Mr.. Davie fur,
nished data as to expense of seed
| ing, cultivating and marketing beets
at the present time, with prospects
| OF the expense being greatly reduced
with certain improvements inaugural
| ed AS to demand, the annual con
sumption is upwards of $l50,000.0
year with the United States produc
| ing less than one-third. He believed
| the soil and climate in this section
were adapted to the growing OF beets
and with cheap fuel and other sup
plies, along with our splendid water
the manufacture of beets would be
reduced, thus offsetting the extra cosl
of shipping to market.
Concluding, Mr.. Davie told whai
should be done to secure a factory
and that his people were looking fo'
favorable locations. To this end ht
sent telegram to the Grand juno
tion factory to express 10 pounds
of beet seed, prepaid, TO Durango tt
be used for experimental purposes
1t is the desire OF those Interested II
securing a factory that farmers will
secure some of this seed
| Full directions for planting ant
caring for the crop will be furnished
by Secretary Armstrong Of the boart
of trade.

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

The board of trade is in receipt of
a shipment Of beet seed from the
Loveland factory which can be OBJ
tanned by calling on Secretary Arm
strong, along with directions for Sc
curing the best results. The Herald
trusts there will be quick response
and the fact clearly demonstrated this
season that La Plata, Montezuma and
San Juan county, N. NJ. can supply
beets for large factory.

Tomorrow power will be furnished

be long until all the mines that have
contracted for power will be furnish

than engines. The Animas Power
company hope to make contract to
the town of Sllverton to furnish It
light, and claims 1t can furnish the
power cheaper than the city has been
able to manufacture 1t and can thus
save money to the city by giving
them as good or better light at 3
cheaper rate. The town has already
taken the initiative in this matter by
requiring every house to put in a

DEATH OF COLONEL m'cov.
Special Phone to The Herald.


TELLURIDE, May 15.-The sudden
death of Colonel j. X. Mccoy here
at an early hour this morning Is the
chief subject OF conversation on the
streets today. Colonel Mccoy is one
of the Oldest residents here, having
been prominent in connection with
mining affairs for many years, for
merly known for his success In hand
ling one of the older properties, the
Gold King.
He was at the club last night with
number of friends and finally said
to Treasurer Lomax that 1t was about
time to go home, saying it was almost
midnight. Mr.. Lomax helped him to
put on his overcoat and they depart
ed In different directions. When Col
onel Mccoy had gone only short
distance, it appears now that he was
seized with hemorrhage. He fell
to the ground and was found soon
after by young man on his way
home, who assisted him across the
street, then calling for medical as
sistance. He survived only an hour.
A few months ago Colonel McCoy's
wife died at Pueblo and was brought
here for burial, He has been poorly
since then, making frequent com
plants regarding his health. He was
aged about 20 years. No children
survive.
Colonel Mccoy had been leasing
for some time on the upper Tomboy
workings and had talked during the
evening about going up there today
Interment will probably occur here.

MAKING A HOME.

1t seems a pity that the young
woman who is about to establish
a home and has the money to
spend for its garniShing can not
be persuaded from laying it out
all at once. She robs herself of
so much future enjoyment. The
Spick and span sets of furniture
which are so carelesSly ordered
from an uphOlSterer, and carried
home and stood around her par
Tors by his men, will never afford
her half the satisfaction she can
get in room in which today she
buys chair, and the next week,
seeing that there must be table
to accompany the char, she starts
out on fresh shopping excur
sion, and finds table which is
exactly what she is looking for;
and in another month, discover
ing the need of a book case or
screen, she has again the delight
of the hunt, and the qualification
of obtaining the prettiest screen
and book case i'll the city.
Such room is a growth, a
gathering together, of household
treasures little by little, and
piece by piece. Each article,
bought only when the need arises,
or when something is happily
found to just meet the need, will
nave family history which makes
it an entertaining as well as
valuable possession. Each couch
and foot stool is an achievements;
each rug and curtain represents
triumph. Such home built up
gradually with careful planning
in each part, with thought and
loving consideration in all its
details, acquires meaning far
deeper than could be purchased
by the longest purse from the
most fashionable cabinet maker.
