western district of the Colorado Tele-
phone system informs the Herald
that a new short line will be con-
structed this summer from Durango
to Denver which will greatly shorten
that circuit and help wonderfully to
expedite business.
The link which it is now necessary
to build to complete this short line
lies between Bayfield, and Del Norte,
via Pagosa. The survey of the route
will begin as soon as it will be pos
sible to cross the range or as soon as
the snow is out.
The line cannot be completed be-
fore fall. Another short circuit will
be established this summer between
| Durango and Ouray via Silverton and
this will give Durango three circuits
to reach San Juan points
The trial of Peter Jakino, charged
with selling liquor without licenses
and selling on Sunday is progressing

| Wild Cat canon on Lightner creek,
where he has been about two months.
Witnesses swore that they purchased
liquor from him at tnat place. Jakino
today swore that he had never at any
time sold anything but soft drinks
and cigars at his place in the canon.
With the soft drinks he sold lunches.
