PROSPERITY FILLS THE FUTURE.

In the current number of Leslie's
Weekly. Mr.. Charles NJ. Harvey shows
how 1906 has differed from the year
in which panics have occurred; and
thus he presents a picture of the fu-
ture bright with promise.
The foundation of this hope of f,l-
ture prosperity is the enormous de-
velopment of our resources and the
vast expansion of industries which
give employment to millions OF men.
On this subject Mr.. Harvey says:
But 1t is easy to show that the
business conditions throughout the
United States differ widely in 1906
from those which existed in the years
when the monetary cataclysms took
place. The largest OF the country's
business interests, that on which, to
a considerable degree. its prosperity
rests. is agriculture. Marvellous is
the only word that can describe the
condition OF Il g crops In 1906. says
Eecretary Wilson. Nor are they chance
crops, either. The farmer knows
more OF soils and crops and their re-
alton to domestic animals than ever
,efore. His education is going stead
ly forward. The element Of risk In
liz business is being eliminated. We
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1906-11-19

can confidently look forward to great
crops every year They are the real
foundation of the good times
In production OF 25,000.000 tons OF
pig iron and 100000 tons of steel
In 1906, we shall make gain OF 80
per cent the former and 60 per
cent in the latter. over 1900. The
coal production, which was 393,000.-
900 tons for 19O5,s gained so per cent
over 1900. The indications are that
production will be above the 100000
O00-ton mark for 1906. In coal, iron,
and steel production we are far ahead
of every other country. and our lead
is rapidly lengthening. And demand
keeps far ahead of supply.
although the country's population
has Increased only 20 per cent sincs
1896, its merchandise imports have
increased 81 per cent, its exports 109
per cent its domestic trade 120 per
cent, its gold stock 100 per cent, its
cash in circulation 65 per cent, and
its bank clearings, its railway earn
ings, and its bank deposits each ap-
proximately 200 per cent. While the
prices of all commodities have gone
up in this time, wages have gone up
faster and farther. The purchasing
power of weeks wages was one and
four-tenths per cent greater in 1905
than in 1896"

On Monday OF this week Irving u.
Melville was rendered the deputy at.
torney generalship by Attorney Gen.
cral-elect Dixson. and back OF this
tender was the entire organization Of
the state and county of Denver, the
successful candidates on the Repubii-
can ticket and, what Is more coyeie1
than any other, the endorsement OF
the fun bench of the supreme court
including Judge Steel. Democrat. who
will be the next chief justice The
endorsement by the five members OF
the supreme court is a recognition OF
merit and ability not often won by
any attorney, but Mr.. Melville, Gs dep
uty attorney general, under N. c. Mil
Ter, has made an enyiable reputation
the past four years. He is familiar
with the work and the supreme court
urged Mr.. Dixson to select him IS
chief advisor. Notwithstanding this
unanimous endorsement and kindly
tender, Mr.. Melville declined as he
had already arranged to open law of
fices In Denver believing that he had
given sufficient of his time to the
welfare of the state. At the same
time Mr.. Melville offered Mr.. Dlx1on
portion of his time and the benefit
of his experience during the lirst
three months. which will include the
legislative session when so many mat
ters are referred to the attorney gem
erals office for opinions. Mr. Mel
vile even went further by promising
Mr. Dixson to aid him at any time
during his term of office. and know
ing Mr.. Melville's energy and devo-
tion to any cause he espouses. Mr..
Dixson can do no better than engage
Mr.. Melville as special counsel to
handle matters of Importance. seeing
he cannot accept the deputyship ow-
ing to previous arrangements.
The administration of Attorney Cen
eral N. G.. Miller has been without
has given the office personal atten-
tion and taken pride In pushing all
matters of interest to successful com
pletion. II Mr.. Dixson will give the
state as good an administration the
people will surely be thankful. The
four years as attorney general has
given Mr.. Miller valuable experience
and his return to practice in the
courts of La Plata county and district
will be hailed with satisfaction by
the people.
1t is with pleasure the Herald Is
able to give credit to two of Durango's S
attorneys. feeling both Mr.. Miller and
Mr.. Melville have not only done them
selves proud, but the state of Colo
RADIO they have SO faithfully and 10y
ally served.

AMERICAS IRON SUPREMACY.

A member of the British parliament
writing to one of the London papers,
calls attention to the fact that the
iron scepter, which was once held by
England, has passed to the United
States. This is not exactly news to
us. but 1t is well enough to tell the
world of 1t. Not only, however, has
England been passed by the United
States In iron production, but Ger
many now has moved UP to second
place. For the calendar year 1905 the
pig iron output was 23.000.O00 tons for
the United States, 100000 for Ger
many, and small fraction below 10,-
100000 for the United Kingdom.
The story of the United States ex.
pansion in iron production is one of
the marvels of our industrial annals.
In the Appomattox year, 1865, we pro-
duced only S31, 900 tons of pig iron.
AS recently as 1876 the output was
but 1,86S,000 tons. In 1886 1t was
6.6S3.000 tons, in 1896 1t was S,623, 900
and In 1906 it will be 25,OO0,O Be
tween Bryan's first canvass for the
presidency and this year the country's
output OF pig iron has tripled. In
steel production our growth has been
still more rapid. We made less than
10000 tons of steel in 1867, and this
was increased to 100000 tons in
Bryan's year of his first race for
president, while the output in 1906
will be 25.000,000 tons.
1t was in 1895 that we passed Eng
land in the production of iron. and
took the first place among the great
countries of the world in that field.
In 1906 we will produce more than
Germany. England and France, which
stand below us In this order. over
40 per cent of the entire iron output
of the world is produced in the United
States. We produce approximately
AZ per cent of the worlds steel. In
steel as In iron Germany has now
got ahead of England, and its lead
over that country is likely to increase,
but the United States is certain to
hold the first place for many decades,
or until the exhaustion of our raw
material gives chance to China or
Manchuria to take the lead. The
United States expansion In iron and
steel production is one of the many
evidences of the beneficence of the
Republican party's tariff policy.

MAY VISIT THE UNITED STATES.

Emperor William, it is said, is
thinking Of sending his fourth son,
Prince Augustus of Prussia, to this
country next winter, for the purpose
Of making himself thoroughly ac-
quainted with America. 1t is pro-
posed that this youthful scion of the
house of Hohenzollern should go
through course of study at one of
The big universities, and should de-
yote the remainder of his time to
travel. r.
The emperor seems to think that
lfter couple of years spent in the
New World his boy will return to
Germany possessed of an education
such as has fallen to the share of few
members of the reigning houses of
europe, an education calculated to
prove of inestimable advantage to the
German empire. For it is only by
listing this hemisphere, and by care,
nj study of its people and conditions
IN the spot. that any useful kL -
edge OF America can be acquired; and
information of that kind, which 1t is

hand, or through books, is becoming
every day of more vital Importance
o those sovereign houses which d.
rect the destinies of the nations of
the Old World.
But if Prince Augustus is to de.
rive all the advantages which the
emperor anticipates from the lads
stay in America, it is necessary that
ne should come here incognito, and
that he should see things from the
level OF common mortal, instead of
rom the altitude to which people are
likely in the exuberance of their hos.
pitality to elevate royal and imperial
visitors. With his identity concealed
Under some bourgeois name, or petty
ltle, such as, for instance, that of
Baron, he would be able to move
about like an ordinary tourist. fy1e to
devote his attention to the matters
winch interested him most instead of
having his time and energy absorbed
by entertainments given in his honor
put Tor the personal glory of his hosts.
Moreover, he would have a much
more enjoyable time II his royal rank
remained unknown. For there is
nothing that princes and princesses
love more than to escape for time
from all the tiresome ceremonial at
tentions which pertain to their status
as standing on the steps of the
'hrone. In fact. they are never so
happy as when they can get away
TO places where they are unknown, to
ive for time the free and untram-
meled life of an everyday citizen.

FRAUD ORDER AGAINST
MATRIMONIAL AGENCY

Men are the most guillible victims
oil the matrimonial agency, according
to the report of postoffice inspector
in case in which a fraud order was
issued by the postoffice department
In Washington. The concern is called
Ihe Home Circle, but is operated also
under the name of Adolph ]. Miller.
Detroit, Mich. Men were admitted to
membership in the Club" at IS per
mead, and women at "a each. The In
spector states in his report: Fraud
lies in Miller inducing men from
whom 1t appears his chief revenue is
derived, TO become members by false
representations concerning the ladies'
looking Tor husbands through the bu-
reau. Miller also misrepresents the
iees reuqired for the full privileges
OF the club. as he charges 25 celAs
ior each additional list OF eligibles
AFTER the first list. issued when man
or woman becomes member" The
women were all represented as young,
peautitul and possessed of means
varying from $4,000 to 100000. but
the inspector reports that Miller ad-
mitted that none of his descriptions
was that Of any particular woman
member Of the CLUB" Various other
Kinds of fraud were alleged against
Miller and the evidence seeming to
support the charges. the fraud order
denying further use of the mails to
