Thomas. The title, "The Sanford
Civic Improvement League" was
given to the organization and its
purpose is to advertise legitimately
the immediate vicinity, Conejos
county and the San Luis valley,
to encourage the up-building of
the region and greater develop
ment of its resources.
A representative movement, to
be successful, must bear the en-
dorsement of representative men
of the community. Your CORE
spondent interviewed several Of
the leading citizens of Sanford to-
day, respecting the organization of
commercial club. The results |
append and will continue personal
opinions upon the matter in next
weeks issue.
Mr.. Anthon Nelson, merchant
of Sanford, when interviewed upon
the organization and need OF
commercial club said: "Our county
ought to be advertised. But honest
truthful representations of the
great resources should go out,
strongly endorsed by authoritative
persons"
Mayor Sven Peterson speaking
of the Sanford Civic League and
the purpose of its organization
said: The people of Sanford in
the organization of the Civic
League have taken very impor-
tant step looking to the acquaint-
ing of Colorado and ghboring
states with the ample resources
and great possibilities of our vicin-
ity and valley. OF course Sanford
has advantages over any other
locality in the valley New enter
prises are to be encouraged as well
as greater loyalty to those already
established"
). d. Taylor, merchant, thus
expressed himself on the matter of
advertising our resources: I'VE
need wider representation of our
natural resources. A commercial
club will accomplish much good in
disseminating such information as
will lead to the building up of the
country. We have the best
country lying out of doors and we
need more settlers and capital to
develop it
Bishop w. O. Crowther thinks
the organization of commercial
club very timely matter. He
has recently received three letters
from northern Utah making en-
quiries concerning'agricultural and
grazing possibilities in the now
becoming famous San Luis valley.
MIR. Crowther favors full. exact
and detailed "write-up" our county
with all its resources and posi-
bilities. This country" he added,
lis the very best for dairying.
Some good man is needed right
here and right now who under
stands the manufacturing of butter
and cheese on an extensive scale
in commercial quantities"

EVA TANCUAy
 IN ASCENDFNCY
Said She Did Not Sail for London as Scheduled, But She Says "l Don't Care" With the Same Twinkle of That Naughty. Naughty Eye.

New York, July 20.-The managers of the London music halls have been "stung" Eva Tanguay. she of the lightning changes and naught, naugh- ty eve. will not wink at the stage door Johnnies and front TOW baldheads and sing al don't care. for she did not sail for London yesterday, as sched- uled She has cancelled all her Eng fish engagements to appear under Florence Ziegfeld's management ill .'The Follies of l909 Miss Tanguay says, after all, she prefers little old New York so London will not have an opportunity to see her in all her glory.
 And Eva, in all her glory, is. every one knows. about the most scrumptu- ous sight that eyes of man may gaze upon and not go blind. She takes the place of Nora Bayes. who has been the star of the show since it opened a month ago. but who has been suffer ing recently from a rather severe at tack of nervous prostration, which has interfered with her work. In fact Miss Mayes has not been seen in th' eompany for more than a week eXcep for one appearance last Saturda, when she sang only one song an found it impossible to continue.
 Miss Bayes, it is understood, is anN ious to take a long rest Her with drawal takes Jack Norworth out o

 Miss Tanguay's star appears to be in the asceniency. Mir. Ziegfeld de- clares that if she proves the success he expects he will have musical comedy written for her next season.

Robinson Thinks State

Anent the meeting of the members Of the peniientary board and levee directors at the state farm this week, much interest is aroused by the acton of Congressman Joe T. Robinson who has asked the federal government for an appropriation of s2o,oOo to ald Il saving the levee at the state farm. lie believes that the immediate danger and the fact that the revetment is nee essary in order to maintain the chan- nel of the river as a navigable stream is sufficient ground to warrant the federal government in coming to the states assistance, and has introduced a bill to that effect.

State Veterinarian Frank M.
Mackle Is considering the advisa.
bility Of establishing In Maryland,
under the direction Of the State Dive
Stock and Sanitary Board, az OK
pertinent station, with the view Of
removing the danger Of hog cholera
IL this State. Recent results secur-
ed with new serum in the Mis-
souri, Agricultural College have, II
Is said, been successful, and other
successful experiments in antltoxin
innocnlation have been made by the
United States Bureau OF Animal In
dnstry.
DIR. Mackie has been watching
these experiments closely In Mis-
sori and Iowa and is convinced that
i great saving to the farmers Of the
State could be made II an expert
ment station we're established here.
II Is said that between $3.0O0,OOO
and 100000 Is the amount Of the
investment in Maryland in hogs and
that the loss yearly from cholera Is
large. Recently hog cholera broke
out at the House Of Correction, and
more than . hundred hogs we're sac
rlficed. DR.. Mackiethinks the Mary
land Agricultural College would be
the best place for the experiment
station.

According 10 report issued by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculo-
sis, the reporting Of tuberculosis
cases Is one of the first requisites
In the stamping out Of the dis
ease. Until the health authorities
know where those afflicted with
tuberculosis reside they are power
less to remove the dangers caused
by these infected persons. II Is
now established that tuberculosis
must be classed with smallpox,
diphtheria. scarlet fever, or any
other infectious disease. This be-
ing the case, the report declares II
is just as necessary for the public
health that II be registered.
The most decided step in the re-
gistration Of tuberculosis was taken
Id 1904 By the State Of Maryland
where law was passed compelling
the reporting Of this disease, and In
filcting heavy tine for non.com
pliance. This law requires that thu
State Board Of Health pay $l.00 y
every physician reporting case 0
tuberculosis, and also that II fur
nish him with literature and pre-
ventive supplies for the use Of hi
patients. This measure was innueu
ced by the success Of q movemen
started IN New York city in 1897, !
compel the reporting Of tuberculosis
In 1908 laws modelled somewha
after the Maryland law we're passe
In New York State and the Distris
Of Columbia.
