The Durango nine will go to 81
verton next Sunday morning to pla
ball. AS the ball season is Just oper
ing. and Durango and Silverton ar
made nseparable by the nature @
things, it will be fitting to send bi
crowd up to the cloud city, to sho'
the people there that period G

sister city. Rates will be made tina
will invite big turnout and it wi
do Durango people good to get out fo

Those VINO have not paid the frs
installment of 1905 taxes are remint
ed that they must pay in full by Jun
1st or penalty will be attached. B

have penalty added or allow propert
to go to sale. Best borrow the mor
ey some way and straighten with tn
county.
In this connection the treasurer
Office is making splendid record Il
the collection of taxes and we are as
sured tnat no one will be permitte
to escape. This Is right. Their
should be no favorites played and ey
cry dollar due the county should b
collected or the reason known.
But be sure and dig up 1905 take
