The Grand Junction Sentinel says
there is going to be a 10000, 900 horse
power electrical plant installed near
Glenwood Springs. Just think of 1t
enough power to run all the machin-
cry in the world and then some. But
maybe the Sentinel is mistaken a few

Dispatches announced $500 raise
in the salary of the Montrose post
master, indicating practically the same
amount OF business as the Durango
office. 1t turns out to have been an
error, the raise amounting to only
500, which still leaves the receipts
of the Montrose office at less than
| two-thirds that Of Durango.
Judge Granville Pendleton and jim
mie Fay returned from TERRA Amaril-
la last evening, leaving for Farming
ton this morning. The judge says he
had hard work keeping Fay from visit
ing the hotel and offering to settle
his bill every two hours. A pretty
senorita waitress was behind the coun
ter. OF course if Fay's wife sees this
IL does not go.
The Kit Carson show last night is
said to be the rottenest fake that
has taken in Durango for some time.
And still it was able to swipe in
over 5000 because of flaming red
posters and showing in tent. Just
why people will patronize fakes of
this character is past understanding
But the management is evidently onto
the people and their desire to be sold.
The staement of Denver afternoon
papers that eleven indictments had
been returned against men residing
in this section for alleged land and
coal frauds, appears to be on a par with
much of the news dished up by the
yellows. The Herald has made in
quiries and as near as can be ascer-
tanned not single La Plata or Ar
chuleta county man has been indicted
up to date.
Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Pull
ford returned last evening from visit
ing upper Florida and upper Pine river
schools The first one on the upper
Florida is presided over by Miss Net
tie Eads and the next, known as the
Pounds school, by Miss Frances Hood,
and being her first school Mrs. Pull
ford is quite proud of her work. Miss
Mamie Todd Is in charge of the Low
ell school on Pine river and Miss Amy
Hammond the Pargin school. Mrs.
Pulford reports the work at all the
schools very satisfactory.
The commissioners are pushing
work on roads in all parts of the coun-
ty. In addition to the western crew
there Is steam grading outfit operat
ing in the eastern portion. In con
nection with the Junction creek road
the three commissioners drove up
eleven miles the first of the week
and were of the unanimous opinion
that It would be useless to do much
work until after high water, the road
bed being on low ground and covered
| with water every time the creek is
high. A week ago the road was clear
ed of rubbish for the benefit OF those
desiring to take supplies to the La
Platas and there is nothing to do
| until water goes down.
