The Herald has received and dis
patched two sacks of garden seeds to
farmers throughout La Plata county,

Saturdays library edition consisted
Of 5000 copies. requiring 1000 for the
daily and semi-weekly editions, leav-
ing 1,4oO copies for those desiring pa
pers to preserve and send away, A
steady call has reduced the number
en- hand to 300 and we do not expect
there will be copy left in the next
forty-eight hours. In this connection
we desire to state that advertisers
were given the full benefit of the daily
and semi-weekly editions and extra
copies with extra cost. 1t is the rule
OF newspapers to charge fancy prices
for advertising In such issues and no
doubt The Herald could have made
5000 to 5000 had it called upon the
business men, but we preferred to
stand the expense as our donation to
advertising this great southwest sec
tion and thus expressing our apprecia-
tion OF the liberal advertising patron
age OF our friends in The past.
