WISE MEN OF THE EAST
ALL COME TO THE WEST

II. p. Austin, who with his wife and
son, has been staying at the Strater
for the past week, has decided to make
his home in Durango. Mr.. Austin
came here from Glen Falls, n. Y,
and is a prominent young attorney
with an established reputation in the
state of New York. Since coming to
Colorado Mr.. Austin has been admitted
to the bar Of this state. AT present
he is recuperating from the effects of
over work, and thinks he will rapidly
recover his former good health in our
climate.
We are glad that he has decided to
take up his residence among us. and
trust both Mr.. Austin and his family
will soon feel at home inDurango. We
have great confidence in our future
and realize that Durango is on the
threshold of a wonderful development
This development will bring with II
numerous opportunities along many
lines.
We understand that Mr.. Austin Will
open law offices in the city, later in
the summer Meanwhile, he will look
around and recover health and
strength as rapidly as possible, and

William p. Vale of this city was
also highly commended for his eff

ter master general. The committee
examining his books praised them very
highly. and the opinion was expressed
that It Is doubtful If they were ever
in so good a condition. Mr.. Vale Is
a delegate at large to the national en-.
campment which meets at Atlantic
City in September
Those of us who are familiar TO
some extent with Mr.. Wingato's and
MIR Wales work in their respective
positions. win feel that while we are
glad that the work of both gentlemen
was appreciated at the recent encamp'
ment, their efforts we're not over es.

sentiments expressed were deserved.
The new commander. w, w Fergu.

to Past Commander Wingate. His eff.

that no member of the department is
