THE RETIRED FARMERS WIDOW.

Farmers who retire and move to town more
reckless In their neglect OF fresh air and exercise
than city men. City men. with their golf and other

MODEL SALOONS; TWO PICTURES

The mayor of Chicago has given ex-
preston to his disgust at the efforts
of certain brewers agents to prevent
the closing of vicious, lawbreaking
and low saloons, and has asked why
practice in such instances does not
conform to the theories and excellent
annual resolutions of the National
Model License league, whose avowed
object is the suppression Of dives that
discredit the whole liquor trade and
cause popular agitation for prohibition
where under better conditions regula-
tion would be deemed sufficient.
That league has met at Louisville,
and its president has again earnestly
denounced the saloon that encourages
gambling and violates tho law a. "an
offense to modern thought" and public
decency. The same address advocated
suspension of a saloon license for thir-
ty days after the first conviction OF
the proprietor or his agent and can
collation. of the license. with perma-
nent exclusion from the traffic, for
second offense.
These are admirable and highly
creditable suggestions. Certainly a
very great change for the better In the
retail liquor trade would take place
in short time IL the authorities, the
law-abiding saloon keepers and their
allies among the brewers and distillers
resolutely pursued the indicated pol
icy.
But, as a matter OF fact, what hap
pens, as rule, when saloon is
caught violating the law? II influ-
ence and pressure are brought to bear
on the mayor it is to overlook the
offense and exercise clemency and pa.
tience. One hears of no delegation
TO urge the proper disciplining of even
the notorious proprietors of filthy and
crime-breeding dives.
The Model Saloon league should
proceed from word to deed and should
cause anti-crime and anti-vice organi-
cations to be started In the cities that
are still wet" among the saloon keep
ers and wholesale dealers In spirits
and intoxicants. AS long as the word
pictures are belied by the pictures
from life the hope OF checking the
prohibition movement will remain II

AMOUNT OF SNOW IS
AMAZING SAYS MR.. WAraoA

II, i. Watson, manager of the Iowa
and Royal Tiger Mining and Milling
company In Arastra basin. In Saa
Juan county, came down from Silver
ton last night. and went to Denver
this morning.
Mr.. Watson made the trip from Sill
verton to lockwood on horseback,
over the trail. with Arthur Ayres.
who is bringing his pack stock to
Durango. It was pretty stiff trip,
which Mr., Watson said he would not
have attempted alone. There was NO
sign of the trail on account Of the
snow, and as the snow was so deep
they were obliged to break trail ahead
OF the animals and we're as careful as
possible of the land marks.
AS II was" said Mr.. Watson at the
train this morning, st was a tedious
and trying trip. for both man and
beast. since the horses had to founder
through several feet OF snow all the
way. We started at daylight. and It
was lust about dark when we reached
lockwood. From lockwood I came
down on the train with Mr.. McAtee."
Mr.. Watson stated that the snow
hucking crew will undoubtedly get
through to Silverton this morning.
They would have done so yesterday.
but the last slide was filled with rocks
and heavy timber which made prog
ress very slow.
In reply to a question in regard to
conditions In Silverton, Mr.. Watson
said there was no shortage Of supplies,
either in food or fuel. no one, 30
far. has suffered for a lack Of the
necessities OF life," he added.
"Thc amount Of snow is amazing"
the speaker went on. Personally, I
have never seen anything like It. and
1t is impossible for me to even esti-
| mate the average depth. I hardly
think one could exaggerate, and cor.
tainly | cannot give you any concsp-
tIon of the snowfall as It really II.
The Oldest inhabitants say that the
amount OF snow this winter Is un-
precedented. From the late SOS no
one has ever seen anything as Sc
we're. and before that time, under
stand we have no record OF conditions.
There has been a number Of ac
cidents. throughout the county. but no
deaths. Considerable damage has been
done to property. such as tramways.
The Iowa tram was injured. a couple
OF towers knocked out, but tho loss
was trifling. Many Of the mines are
snowbound--this being especially trus
Of those who have no tramways, and
are thus dependent on burro trains.
The heaviest damage was probably
that done to the Highland Mary which
has been compelled to shut down on
account OF the water pipe. which fur.
nished their power, being carried out
| by slide.
| "The road between Silyerton and
| Gladstone is packed solid, so that the
train service Is discontinued for the
present The snow has drifted into
many OF the gulches, and slides have
been so numerous that a number OF
mines located In various gulches could
| not be reached. Most OF these are,
OF course, worked only In summer.
