MESA VERDE NATIONAL
PARK is ASSURED


The following special dispatch sent
to the Pueblo Chleftain Tuesday even
ing, will be received by Herald read
ers with much interest:
Mrs. w. S. Peabody, of this city.
who might be termed the mother of
the Mesa Verde National Park. be
cause of her interest and her work in
the creation of this park as a nation
al resort, received the following tele-
gram from Senator Patterson:
Passed the Mesa Verde National
Park bill with some amendments of
fered by Senator Teller. The amend.
ment will help the bill. T. NJ. Patter-
SON"
The news thus conveyed to Mrs.
Peabody that the senate had passed
her pet measure was. to say the least,
ioyfully received. A similar bill is in
the house and will no doubt pass that
branch of the national legislature be-
fore the present session adiourns. 1t
means that the cliff dwellings of Colo
RADIO will be preserved for all time
TO come.
Professor Edward l.. Hewitt. who
was sent to this state by the interior
department to report to the govern
ment at Washington on the ruins of
the Mesa Verde park and who has
been visiting those ruins for the past
four weeks. will return to Denver to.
day and will probably address the
real estate luncheon Thursday noon.
He is perfectly acquainted with the
entire situation and will be able to
give the business men of Denver
good idea as to the result that will
acrue to Colorado by having this
national park.

LOOKING FOR LAND.

Mr. w. G. Black of Canon City, one
of the organizers of the new Eden
canal, spent last night at the Palace
hotel and left this morning for Az
tee. With him was party of gen
tlemen looking for lands. The new
Eden canal takes it's water from the
Animas river near the state line and
covers $4,000 acres situated between
Aztec. Blanco, Bloomfield and Farm
ington. This belt is exceptionally
fine for fruit. Mr.. Black said the
similarity of soil and climate between
this section and Canon, where lands
are now selling for several hundred
dollars an acre, and for months he
and mis- friends have been quietly but
energetically at work. They have
now opened an Office at Aztec and as
suranoes are given that the canal
shall he built this summer. 1t is a
big enterprise and is another of the
many things which are now being
planned for the upbuilding of South
western Colorado and Northwestern
New Mexico. The Herald bids Mr..
Black God speed

REoPENiN6 OF THE
NEW FAMOUS STORES

When the Durango Concert Band
came down Main avenue yesterday
evening playing a lively air. every
body looked up to see that the New
Famous Stores were a glitter of light
and splendor. The ladies' knew what
was going to happen where there was
lots of nice hats and clothes and
for the band. All along Main avenue
for several blocks the ladies' had the
street.
Throngs of people gathered to hear
the music and peer through the win
dows which had been decorated and
dressed to attract.
+. NJ. Tucker at the head of the
shoe department, had arranged the
second floor for dance, and the dane
ers going and descending kept the
elevator hoy hustling The guests
enjoyed the dance, groups dancing
and retiring to make room for others
and up TO 10 o'clock the vast space
of the lower floor was occupied by
people looking about the yariors de
partments, inspecting the new STYLES
for the year.
1t would he a waste of tine to try
to describe to the ladies' what they
saw as they can describe them better.
and many of them are telling some
body else about it now and how much
1t will cost.
Stock had been selected with espec,
ial care for Ell the departments, rec
ognizing that the people would want
the hest for the money.
The new dress goods are said to be
particularly attractive this spring
The shoe department represents all
standard makes OF shoes in all lines
and the clothing department. which
had long been recognized as par ex-
cellenee, is larger and better than
ever. A visit to the Famous Stores
will give better idea than anybody
can tell

REPORTED HoLD-uP.

It was reported this morning that
somebody had been held up below the
tracks during last night. lnvestiga
ton reveals that Enrieo Casagranda,
who is an Austrian. was found by OF
ficer Dobbs during the night with his
head cut and bleeding by blows de
livered by some party or parties, ana
that DR.. Lackey was called to stitch
the wounds.
James Sategna who conducts the
San Juan saloon, with rooms above,
says Enrico has been boarding with
him about month, and that yester-
day evening Enrico came to him and
borrowed S15. being then sober. Mr..
Sategna says Enrieo, who works at
mining and various occupations, ap-
pears to be quiet, peeeably disposed
fellow; that what he did after leaving
his place he does not know,
Marshal Wickline. who does day
duty, says he learned OF the matter
this morning when he went on duty;
tnat from what he can learn, the un-
fortunate fellow was across the track
drinking and carousing.
Enrico was placed in Jail during the
night, but no charges were preferred
against him. and this morning he was
taken to his boarding house.

Robbie was a young boy. and when
we first located In Durango he had
one of the carrier routes for the Her
aid. Like many others who have
been connected in one way or the 9TH
or with the Herald, he mas advanced
along pleasant lines. Dame Fortune
has been kind and he is prosperous
and thinks this southland the only
place on earth. In him we found
what is known as the Gentleman
Farmer" He resides most OF the
time in the city--liyes at the Hamil-
ton, the best hotel. and directs his
farming interests by daily or tri-week-
ly visits. This section Is known far
and wide for Its "onion farms" The
growing, or at least certain sections,
and about two miles out OF town along
the l. 4 N. railroad one passes
through immense fields of onion beds.
Mr.. Warrick has 30 acres in onions
this spring. and he figures on clean
ing up about s4OO an acre-at least
$500 an acre profit. Occasionally the
profit runs to $500 an acre. OF course
we naturally feel elated that one of
the Herald's old-time force is sailing
through life so smoothly. He was
fortunate in securing the kind OF land
adapted to onion growing, at the
present time there being about 1000
acres to onions in the county, which
seems to include most of the choice
ground for this particular vegetable.
or at least we should Judge so or
| there would be more acreage with the
| profits derived. True, there is an oc.
| casional failure, or gulttoned mar
ket. and then the profits are cut down
| materially, but good year Will more
than even poor one. While living
in single bliss" Indications point
that Mr.. WarriclS has other intentions
and Durango friends may look for
cards on time.

sunuvslDe DEAL MOVING.

This morning the Globe Express
company was carrying on the Rio
Grande railway 30 odd sacks of ORE
samples. recently selected by corps
OF experts and assayers, TO j. l.. Mer-
rilI, at the sampling and testing
works of Henry E. Wood at Denver,
where the ores Will be tested by the
several processes under that roof to
determine which will be best adapted
for saving the values of the lower
grades.
There has been much discussion of
the Sunnyside mine by the Denver
newspapers for year or more, relat-
ing to sale of the property. but this
move appears to be the first to sug-
gest that Judge Terry and sons have
considered a proposition to part with
the big gold mine.
The Sunnysde was first sold by
Judge r. j. McNutt about 20 years
ago for 5000, and has produced mil
lions since.

EARL SNYDER DEAD.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
At $500 this mrning, when Earl
Snyder's soul passed on to other
scenes than these, Durango had lost
a sterling citizen, one of the noblest
creations of his Maker. He had suf-
fered in the beginning with the raw
ages OF brain fever. but for more than
a week was unconscious of all about
him. seeming TO sleep, unawares that
loved ones and friends were doing all
they could TO bring him back. One
must stop to wonder When realizing
tnat strong. sturdy manhood may be
seized in a moment with some malady
or afIiiction from which he cannot re-
cover.
Since living in Durango Earl had
won hundreds of friends and admirers
of unfaltering honesty and integrity.
His closer friends were claimed by his
answering belief in the best possible
fellowship of men and there are
many of these friends VINO will miss
him as though he were their brother.
All the children knew and loved him.
His passing away mas thrown pail
over the great Graden stores where
he was manager of the big grocery
| department The sales people and
| employees in all the departments plain
| " manifest their feeling in the loss of
a friend today.
Earl Snyder was born in Ohio in
| 1858. and. when II years old, with the
| family, went to Topeka. Kans., near
| where at Dover, has been the family
homestead since that time In 1879.
when he heard of the famed silver
camp of Leadville, he told his family
relatives goodbye and drove across
the plains reaching that district ear
ly that summer. He accepted oppor-
| tunity as ii came, mining or doing
| anything he could He drove stage
| into the Breckenridge district, pros
pected and did the things that people
do in mining camps. Just before the
construction of the Rio Grande South
| ern railway was begun in 1890 ne
came to the Durango section and
| since then has been stage driver,
| teamster. prospector, salesman and
manager finally of one of the largest
mercantile features of the Southwest.
He had been with the Graden estab-
| lshment since 1892, beginning on the
| wagon, later having charge of the
| warehouses. His advancement was
step by step, but certain of each step.
He was a member of the Odd Eel
lows. Woodmen of the World and
Red Men, carrying life insurance with
the Woodmen. He leaves as his i'm
mediate family his wife and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Henry Billings, Wray Sny-
der, his brother. and Mrs Jennie
Ross a sister, and Joe Flickinger. a
brother-in-law, who came out from
Kansas week ago and who was at
the bedside up to the last moment.
The body will be taken to tne old
homestead at Dover for burial, ac-
companied by the sorrowing relatives.
on Monday morning.
There were none truly better than
Earl.

IMPROVEMENTS MAPPED
FOR THE RIO GRANDE

Advices from the east state that the

about s2,500.000 for new equipment
this year. General Manager A. c..
