Biloxi Mention of Visit From Bay
Louis Basket Ball Team.

1-e Herald of Tuesday made the
following mention of the visit last Sa
urday by the Bay st. Louis basket
ball team. 'If the Biloxi girls can
ineed feel that they have won the
honors," they are welcome to the
feeling:
The Biloxi High School Girls
Team defeated the team from the
Bay st. Louis School by score OF
27 to II. The defeat of the Bay team
establishes the Biloxi team in the
very front rank of the basket ball
players of the coast. The Biloxi team
defeated Hattiesburg team, but the
Bav st. Louis team was deemed the
stronger of the two and now that
thew have vanquished them, the Bl-
loxi girls can indeed feel that they
have won honors. The home team
treated the visitors with every cour-
| tesy. They were met at the train by
an automobile, were dined at the
Beach Hotel, and after the game were
| again escorted to the depot. Miss
Flossie Picard is the captain of the
Biloxi team"

SOME PHASES OF PROHIBITION

While no attempt has yet oeen

1908 will be brought before the SUI

statewide statute.
The section in question provides
that the possession of more than d

A beautiful tribute was extended
H. Weston, president of the H. Wes
ton Lumber Company, of Logtown
Tuesday, when a magnificent loving
cup handsomely engraved, was pre-
sented him, in honor of his seth
| birthday, from the 500 members and
| employees of his firm. A few mo.
merits after the loud siren-like whis-
| ties of the two lumber plants had
blown for the noon hour, all of the
| employees of the mills, planning mills
dry kilns, office and store force,
members and directors of the com
pany, faculty and pupils of the pub
lie schools and a large concourse of
| citizens congregated in front of the
| large office building of the firm, and
| a message was Immediately dis
| patched to Mr. Weston requesting
| his presence at the office owing to
urgent business. Unsuspectingly, Mr..
" eston shortly arrived on the scene,
and, after being greeted with loud
cheers, j. S. Otis, secretary of the
company, presented the beautiful to-
ken with the following appropriate
remarks;
MY Dear Sir-In this strenuous
age many young men launch out into
the business world with every pros
pect Of long life and financial sue
cess, but, in few years, because OF
irregular business practices-the gam
bling table, the race track and the
gilded saloon-the majority of them
fail in business and are cut off in
in the meridian of life. These be-
come derelicts and a meanace to the
mariner on the high seas of COM
merce and society, and their career
is to be regretted, not to say con-
demned But let us turn from the
dark side of this picture, which is
not pleasant to contemplate, and
look for a moment upon the stalwart
BUSINESS man of the day, who, by
rigid integrity, strict economy and
persistent endeavor, has risen TO the
pinnacle of financial success and to
a ripe and honorable old age: and
SIM it is my pleasure on this occo-
sion to address such one, Tor in
You these attributes have been crown
ing virtues, worthy of emulation by
young and old And now under the
providence of God, you have been
permitted to live four score and six
years, these 500 members and en-
ployes of the H.Weston Lumber Com
pany have assembled TO do you honor
and have delegated me in their be-
half to present you this loving cup
as an evidence of their love and es-
IA Accept it, sir, with our best
wishes. and may an all-wise God
vouchsafe unto you many more years
of health, happiness and usefulness
in our midst"
MI. Weston, with much emotion,
briefly responded as follows: Gen
tlemen of the company, employees and
friends, / thank you for this express
sion of your regard"
The large company, with cheers
and coed wisehes for Mr.. Weston,
then dispersed to pursue their .

COURSE IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

The Colorado Agricultural college
is holding short courses in domestic
science In ten cieies OF the state this
winter, under the direction of Miss
Mary Rausch. the well-known expert
in domestic science. Miss Rausch will
be assisted by competent help.
The course lasts five days, from
Monday morning to Friday night, with
four evening lectures. one Of which
will be illustrated with stereopticon
views. These lectures will be Of pop-
ular interest. and will prove a great
attraction to those persons unable to
attend the day sessions.
Practical instruction will be given in
subjects Of vital interest to housekeep
ers and homemakers. including cook
ing and sewing. This will be done by
lecture and demonstration.
A number of the Durango ladies
have the matter In charge and will
begin to put their plans before Du-
range housekeepers early next week
Durango women may be trusted to
secure upto-date things. and members
OF the sex may consider themselves
fortunate In the opportunity present
ed, when they remember that there
are but ten places where the course
will be given this winter. and Durango
Is one OF the fortunate ten.
No matter how good housekeeper
woman may be. there is always
room for improvement. since life II
growth, and when we cease to grow,
we cease to live. Life is then .
matter Of existence that Is all 1t Is .
great gift to be good housekeeper,
for that is one OF the essentials Of
woman's part in the social economy
homemaking as mans is provid-
ing for the support Of such home.
That the course is well worth while
may be inferred from the reports OF
the interest manifested in other placcs.
/ At Rocky Ford, $50 persons took the
course recently. Watch for further
announcements.
Semi-weekly herald., 1909-01-18

Democrat this morning who failed to
sign his name and the editor of the
paper also failed to correct the COPY
and remove the ear-marks Of the
writer who used the letter 81" in two
places, clearly showing the article was
by an outsider, possibly the new coun-
ty attorney. as the writer endeavored
to cover the cloven hoof by quoting
the law.
But note the reading-"commIssIo
ers may cancel the taxes " they are
satisfied that said taxes are uncoIIecta-
| bie."
VIII any sane Individual stand up
and say that the taxes due and unpaid
on the books OF the La Plata Abstract
company Of which the county assessor,
John p. Coston, is the head, cannot
be collected when the books in ques.
tion are worth upwards OF ten thou.
sand dollars.
Last fall and two years ago The
Herald showed up these back taxes
but Mr.. CostoD. in a signed communi.
cation in the Democrat. said he would
pay them as soon as he could. The
taxes due from this one concern are
for the years 1897. 1898, 1893. 1900 and
1901. and with interest amount to over
5000.
By simple resolution these taxes
are wiped off and over $500 in cold
cash presented Mr.. Coston.
This is not all. There are numerous
cases where taxes can be collected
that are wiped off In the same way
All the tax certificates held by the
county prior to 1902 are also wiped out
and no good according to the resolu
ton. All back taxes on coal holdings
were wiped out.
The writer of the article. presuma
bly, the new county attorney. tries to
make the people believe by the can.
collation. of the back taxes. that debt
has been cancelled against La Plata
county. This is false. La Plata coun
ty is not holden to the state for one
cent in way of back taxes until col
lected and calling The Herald 'pin
head" does not lessen the outrage.
Last fall when The Herald made
these charges they were scoffed at by
Democrats who said the Democratic
nominees for commissioners would not
have the nerve, even II they had the
inclination, TO do such thing.
Again The Herald asks the farmer
who has been compelled to let his
children go barefoot both summer and
winter to prevent his place being sold
for taxes. how he likes this last move
on the part of the combine.
And all the answer that will be
made to this by the morning CRATER
will be "liar" and idiot"
