Der of the fire and water committee.
also of Durango, are visitors In Canon
City today. They are on junket to
various municipalities of the state for
the purpose of inspecting the various
kinds of pipe used in the different
water systems. According to Mr.. Wig
ellsworth. who is an irrigation engi-
neer OF high reputation, the city of
Durango finds itself under the neces-
sity of rebuilding Its water system In
order TO meet the growing demands
upon IT, and to increase the size and
efficiency of its mains in the princi-
pal streets.
The pipe line, or conduit, conveying
the water from the reservoir to the
city Is OF wood and was laid seven or
eight years ago, but was never salts.

GIVE THE HORSE A CHANCE TO
BREATHE.
Farm Journal.

Farm journal.
A farmer. plowIng with three horses
hitched abreast, noticed that the mid.
die horse became tired and exhausted
long before either of his mates. AS
the animal was the. equal I'm every
way of the other two, he was puzzled
as TO the cause OF this horses not
being able to stand the same amount
u work. He finally observed. how.
ever. that as they drew the pillow
along. the three horses held their
noses close together. with the result
that the middle horse was compelled
to breath the expired air from lis fel-
lows. The farmer then procured
long Jockey" stick, which he fasten.
ed with straps to the bits of the out
side horses. The device worked per-
fectly. for, given his rightful share
of good. fresh air, the middle horse
was able to do the same amount of
work, and with no greater fatigue than
his fellows. Many persons are like
the middle horse: they do not get
their rightful share of fresh, pure air,
md this is why they are not able to
perform as much work.

SUDDEN DEATH
OF "eoopT TRUE
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Yesterday morning when Mr.. and
Mrs. Vaillique. who reside near the
Nesdleton postoftice. failed to see
smoke issue from the chimney of the
cabin used by the postmaster, l. G
True, both as residence and post
office headquarters, they feared all
was not well. About $3.50 they sent
their little boy over TO ascertain what
was the cause of the trouble. The
little fellow came rushing back with
the information that Mr.. True was
dead. Mr.. Vaillique hurried to the
cabin and found the body of Mr.. True
laying face forward on the floor, life
having been extinct for several hours.
When the northbound train arrived
from Durango Mr.. McHolland was com.
nissioned to notify Coroner Goodman
by telephone as soon as he reached
Silverton. AS Mr. Goodman had no
way of reaching Needleton before this
morning he telephoned Deputy Coroner
Niti<SOu vi OdAl sIuiu CbuHty ~ tOI1ts
down and take charge of the remains.
When Mr.. Mcleod reached Needleton
he found that an inquest was not nee
| essary. as 1t was certain Mr.. True's
death was due TO hemorrhage of the
lungs.
The dead man had evidently exhaust
ed every means at hand to stop the
| flow OF blood. as traces of II were
found in the three rooms of the cabin
where he had gone seeking relief. At
his side was towel used TO catch the
| flow as it issued from his mouth.
Near him was his gun with two empty
| chambers, showing he had signalled
| for help. Mrs. T. A. Burt, neighbor,
| heard the shots but thought II was
some one shooting at mountain lions
which are quite troublesome at that
place. The position of the body when
found indicated that he had fallen just
before reaching his bed.
There was not the slightest indica-
tion OF foul play. The cabin was not
locked and not one thing in that per.
feetly kept place had been disturbed.
In the room used for the postofflce
Mr.. Mcleod found $77.50 In money be-
sides large number of money orders
and postage stamps.
Mr.. True, who was familiarly known
as "Goody." was prominent figure in
this section for the past fifteen or
twenty years. Fortune alternately
smiled and frowned upon him. He was
kindly man, especially fond OF chill
dren. He had hosts of friends in this
section.
The remains were brought down by
Mr.. Mcleod on last nights freight
as he could not get them ready to
bring on the passenger. and taken to
the Goodman undertaking parlors.
They Will be shipped to his brother,
Fl. A. True, a wealthy resident Of Colo.
rado Springs. and also prominently
connected with the American Smelling
end Mining company.
This morning Coroner Goodman, ac-
companied by Postmaster W. w. Par.
shall, went to Needleton to secure the
effects Of Mr.. True, Mr.. Parshan tax.

REAL WORK BEGINS.
Trans mississippi Congress Has Many
Schemes For Spending Money.

Denver, Aug. 17.-More than two
thousand delegates representing eV-
cry city of importance in every state
west of the Mississippi river attended
the opening of the twentieth Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress in
the auditorium this morning.
The morning session was devoted
to welcoming the delegates by Gov
ernor Shafroth of Colorado and city
officials, and responses by Governors
of half a dozen western states. Be
cause of the many speakers scheduled
for the first session, each was linn
tied to a short time, and none of the
many big projects fathered or back
ed by the congress came up for more
than brief mention.
This afternoon. when President
Thomas Walsh of Denver, delivered
his address, the real work of the con-
gress began. John Barrett, head of
the bureau of American Republics told
southern countries, Laverne w. NOyes
of Chicago, president of the National
Business League, discussed the con-
sular service and Truman G. Palmer
of California the sugar beet industry;
municipal control of railroad termin-
ais was discussed by Donald Fletcher
of Tacoma, Wash. At night insurance
will be the feature. The program
committee will not decide on the pro-
gram until tonight, but in the next
few days action will be taken upon
many subjects of Importance to the
west. These will include good roads,
irrigation, conservation, freight rates,
national highways, the Panama canal,
and trade with the Philippines. Each
state delegation, while enthusiastic
for all these projects, has its particu-
lar scheme. They entail the eXpendi-
ture of large sums and committees
will be named to thoroughly investi-
gate them and make resolutions to
ask aid of the federal congress.

FAVOR INDIANA PLAN.
Two Kansas Women Are Heard at the
Prison Congress.

Seattle, Aug. 1.-THE debate in the
American prison association congress
on the Indiana plan ''for preventing
the propagation of criminals and
idiots" developed an almost unanimous
sentiment for the plan and was ac-
cording to President Gilmour of Tor
onto the most profitable discussion the
association has held in years.
After discussion of the outdoor plan
of treating convictS, in which every
speaker told of the good results of ban
fishing armed guards and putting the
prisoner on honor, the debate on the
Indiana plan was begun by delegate
moving that DR. Sharp's paper be sup
pressed on the ground that the In
diana plan was contrary to the Bible.
One delegate objected to the debate
being continued before women, who
composed at least one-third of the
audience. Thereupon, the women dele
gates at once took the lead in the con-
troversy, led by Mrs. D. c. Weeks,
president of the Philadelphia Social
Purity league and other speakers for
the Indiana plan were Mrs. c. B. Hoff-
man of Kansas, Mrs. L. R. Eastwood
of South Dakota and Mrs. ]. G. Wood
of Topeka, Kan.
Mrs. Eastwood's advocacy of chloro-
forming idiots elected laughter. During
the debate it was announced that Con-
necticut and California had followed
not put to a vote. President Gilmour
said it would not have received three
votes.
At the afternoon session there was
a discussion on discharged prisoners"
The discussion was opened by Rev. E.
A. Fredenhagen, superintendent of the
Society of the Friendless Kansas City
The feature of the night session was
the report of the committee on pre-
vention and probation. presented by
Judge Ben Lindsey of the Denver Jul
venile court, who said in part:
THE time may come, however far

the state will come to deal with
criminal much as we now do with the
insane.
But this treatment of the criminal
will be as unlike the extreme methods
in vogue of stripes. iron cells and 9TH

within a century were as completely

are now
