PAYING SHELTER STATE

1t Is gratifying to the people of Du-
range that the affairs OF the Smelter
City State bank have been settled
much more satisfactory than at first
appeared possible. At one time 1t did
not look as though the bank would pay
over 10 or Is cents on the dollar, but
the advisory committee and others In
terested kept at the good work with
out being discouraged. Many Of the
depositors took stock in the Nevada
mining property at a reduced rate that
may net them double value, and the
final agreement reached between the
advisory committee, depositors, Mr..
Mcconnell and Mr.. Reynolds, provid-
ed for total payment of 62h per
cent in cash and notes, and 37R per
cent in mining stock. The depositofs
were to receive the above clear OF
receivership expenses according TO
the agreement, and after the deposit
ors had agreed to the proposition Mr.
| Reynolds came to the front with the
suit that Receiver Pingrey is able to
pay at once dividend of 81 6-10 per
cent, which means turning loose imme'
diately in the neigbborhood OF $780,

paid in Is months as per notes given
by Mr.. Mcconnell and endorsed by
Mr.. Reynolds, while the 37h per cent

ports are anywhere near correct, from
those who have personally inspected
the Nevada property and those who
know the conditions, there is little
doubt but that depositors will finally
receive at least dollar for dollar and
possibly more. 1t would certainly be

SHALL WE ENFORCE THE tAwr

Durango is in the process OF eyolu- |
tion common TO all cities. She was
once frontier town. That meant
roughness and lawlessness. There
were but few women and most Of the
men were spectators or Adventures.
Courts Of Justice were too slow for
the temperaments of such men and
consequently lynch law or gun law
or knife or fist law took their place
Sabbath desecration, gambling. drink
Ing and fighting were the common
evils Of frontier towns from the time
of George Washington down to the
early days of Colorado and Durango
We recognize such stage in the his
tory of every city of our country.
The encouraging feature OF all our
national development has been the
definite and graceful way In which
all our cities have outgrown their
early roughness and lawlessness. Du-
range is fine type of this develop
ment. | have been assured by many
OF our business men that II could
have seen Durango five years ago and
could compare her moral standards
now with what they were then the
contrast would be not only astonishing
but gratifying.
| believe it, And now the ques-
ton comes to me with most inviting
and optimistic persistency. "Is not
Durango ready for another epoch In
her evolutionary development"
She has become city of homes and
churches. True homes and efficient
churches are incompatible with law
lessness of any degree whatever. The
greatest need of our homes and our
churches is the enforcement of law.
| If there are any bad laws upon our
statute books the best way to get rid
OF them is to enforce them rigidly
| and by that method expose their error
And ii We have only good laws, then
certainly they should be enforced
without respect to precedent or politi-
cal party.
Is not the time ripe for those who
are unselfishly interested in the best
moral welfare of Durango. to rise
above all party politics and stand pre-
eminently for law enforcement?
AS pastor of one of our churches
feeling deeply how necessary this is
for the best interest of my church, and
I i
be equally beneficial for all the
-chrrches, and knowing equally well
how vital 1t is to the welfare of every
home, l should feel that were prov
ing traitor to this beautiful little
city with her bright future prospects
II did not thus urge In every way
possible this fine step In the march
of progress.

POWERS THE MAN WHO
TOOK IN j. C. BOWMAN.

The following from the Denver Re
publican will be read with interest
Powers Is quite well known in Du-

the Gladstone and Silverton teams
and he is the man who trimmed
Archie Hayes at Mancos and ran sew
eral races in this section, winding
up with matched race with a man,
we have forgotten his name, who was
at that time champion sprinter of the
world. Our people got onto the ract
and not dollar was waged on the
race which took place at the fair
grounds. After this race Powers left
this section. The Republican article
follows:
Ernest L. Powers aged 20. formerly
well known about Colorado as foot
racer and member of football teams
representing the University of Denver
and the old Denver Wheel club, is in
the city jail charged with having
been one of the gang of Mabry swim
dlers now under arrest in Little Rock,
Ark. 1t is charged that he buncoed
j. C. Bowman, formerly of Silverton,
now of the Union block of this city,
out of $13,700 on a fake footrace held
last July in Council Bluffs. The police
say that Powers admits his part in
the game. Powers was arrested at
his home, 70 Fox street, by Detectives
Bell and Carr. He is married and has
recently been employed as mill
wright in the tramway company's
shops. His father is employed as a
motorman for the tramway.
The game on which Bowman lost
his money is one OF the most ancient
gratis" of bunco men. Bowman had
known young Powers and his family
for many years and when, in company
with a friend" Powers approached
Bowman last July with the PROPOSE
tion OF supporting him in a footrace.
Bowman believed that he saw
chance to make money, for 1t was only
a few years ago that Powers was rec.
ognized as one of the fastest lOO.yard
men in the state. Powers. so 1t is al
legged, represented to Bowman that
there was no doubt about the race and
the outcome proved that he spoke the
truth. Bowman raised sl3,7OO ard

have fallen TO the ground unconscious |
with blood streaming from his mouth. |
He was picked up apparently uncop.

Denver as he thought a sadder but
wiser man.
1t was not until yesterday that he
discovered that he had been the vic.
Tim OF bunco game. He believed
firmly that the race had been honestly
