Revising the Street Names.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The probability that the city will soon
spend several hundred thousand dollars in
putting up signs showing street names at
all intersections makes advisable early
action by the council to remove the exist
ing Commissions of street nomenclature.
The subject has been under study for sew
eral years, and may as well be decided
now as at any time. The changes in
street numbering. which took effect last
September, made considerable trouble for
householders at the time, but are repay
ing the trouble manifold In the increased
convenience Of getting around the city.
The establishment now Of the rule, One
street, one name. and. conversely. one
name, one street, would carry further the
good work. The city superintendent of
maps reports that there are several streets
which have as high as seven names in
different sections of their length. while
there are at least four names that are
used as many as seven times each. The
total number OF Implications reported is
40. Some comprehensive schemes of SIM
plifying street nomenclature will be be-
fore the council. They may be considered
on their merits in due time.
But the minimum of reform should be
the elimination OF all duplicate accom-
panied by a good resolution on the part
of the council never willfully to order du-
plications again.

Saved the Parnell PARTY.

John Redmond could not save Parnell,
but he kept a Parnellite minority to-
gether, and Of this faction he was elected
leader. With the death OF Parnell the
feud languished. and in due course Mr.
Redmond became leader of a reunited
Irish party, Mr.. Dillon gracefully ef-
facing himself in the interests of his
country. Mr.. Redmond was shrewd
enough to appreciate the part allotted to
him by series of accidents. He PLAYED
the game With him bygones were by
cones.

cause what they have to say is in itself

LONDON, February ), 1910.
John Redmond, the man who will exer-
else most power in the new house of COM
mons. is parliamentarian of close upon
thirty years standing. He is not po-
litical genius. He is not. despite what
too ardent friends and admirers say,
great orator or debater. He is almost
destitute of a sense of humor. But / do
not think l should exaggerate much if
called him a great parliamentarian. He
has been long at his lesson. He has
learned it laboriously. But he has learned
it we'll. In the application of the famous
fable to Ireland, Mr.. Redmond is the
tortoise.
1t is probable that in the first instance
Mr.. Redmond entered the house of COM
mons because his father had been there
before him. Prior to sitting on the green
benches, John was a clerk in the parlia-
mentary vote office, and as such he was
privileged at any time to drop in and
listen to the debates. OF this privilege he
did not hesitate to avail himself. and
when he was returned as a member in
1881 he was as familiar with the chamber
and all the details of parliamentary
routine as with his own home.
| He became member of the then in
| fantile nationalist party, and was picked
out by Parnell to do what is now called
useful spade" work. John Redmond was
| just the sort of young man to be utilized
| by the astute Irish leader In a missionary
| campaign on this side of ST. George S
channel. He was well born. and we'll

Help for w Workers.

The manager Of the labor exchanges at
HEADQUARTERS in London informed me to-
day that he hopes to be able to do at
least a little for the workers before the
worst period for unemployment is past.
Next month the first hundred exchanges
will be set to work in London, and the
rest of the United ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Wales. Scotland and Ireland-are being
divided into districts, and one exchange
planted down in the most important in
dustrial center of each. BY the end of this
year 1t is hoped to see $50 exchanges al
together instituted and in operation
throughout the United Kingdom.
An important feature of the work of the
exchanges will be the power which the
act gives the superintendent to advance
travelling expenses to workmen who may
distance. The manager hopes the ex-
changes may in this way effectually pro-
mote what the economists call the fluidity
of labor: and that when shipwrights are
idle In Glasgow, but wanted for work in
the north of England. the nearest ex-
change may enable the artisans, if they
be left poor by protracted unemployment.
to remove comfortably to the place where
work may await them.

In 1903 there was a persistent rumor to

bought from the same source for some

Dog Saves His Masters Lie.

A story comes from MancOs of one
William Schubert who was severely
injured by premature blast In mine
he was working on the East Mancos
river. The accident, which shattered
his left leg from the hip down break
ing the bone and lacerating the flesh,
occurred December 18. The first inn
preston that anything was wrong was
given by Schubert's dog which went
to the cabin of J. A. Flynn on the
evening of December q. Flynn
noticed that the dog acted strangely
and seemed to be hungry so he went to
Mancos to see II Schubert had gone to
town. Not finding him there and
learing from party that came in from
the hills later that Schubert was not at
his cabin, Flynn felt that something
was wrong and returning to the hills
distance of fourteen miles, found
Schubert unconscious in the tunnel
where he had been working. He got
some blankets and wrapped the injured
man up as best he could and then re-
turned to Mancos for help. A rescue
party went out at once and took the
injured man to Mancos where he was
placed under the care Of physicia and
is getting along nicely.
That a man should survive after
lying in tunnel for eight days injured
as Schubert was, is remarkable. 1t
might have been weeks before the un-
fortunate man would have been found
had his dog not aroused suspicion.

J. T. Quick Passes Away.

]. T. Quick, better known as "Hunt"
Quick, died in the Mercy hospital at
Durango Monday morning, January
8, 1910. He went to Durango about
three weeks ago suffering from typhoid
fever, and later a complication OF
diseases set In causing his death.
Mr.. Quick was born in Holden,
johnson county, Missouri, and came to
Colorado in 1873. In 1879 he came to
the Dolores valley from the San Luis
valley in company with Ras Thompson
and settled on the Dolores river within
the limits of what is now the town OF
Dolores. He was then extensively en-
gagged In the cattle business. In later
years he disposed Of bis cattle and
worked at the carpenter trade.
He took an active part in politics and
at the time of his death was a member
of the board of trustees of the town of
Dolores. He was past chancellor COM
mander Of Silver Star Lodge, No. lO6,

cause Of his taking of, but a complica-
ton of diseases afterwards set in and
after hard fight the poor warrior laid
down the arms and ceased the good
fight that had lasted for nearly fifty
five years.
The old haunts around Dolores where
he has lived for many years will seem
vacant now and little children whose
pockets have been filed many tines
and oft with candy and nuts, will miss
his kindly smile and cheering word
Old and young will feel that the closed
book of Hunt Quick's life was clasped
too early, they too will mourn his
going.
Good bye, old friend and comrade,
We will drop tear on the bier Of your
last home with the brothers whose eyes
are ever turned to the hour of eleven;
we will join them in the song of "Auld
Acquaintance" and say with them,
"We write your faults upon the sands
OF the sea, but your virtues on tablets Of
love aud memory"
The Elks, of which deceased was II
member, will hold services tonight at
Hood and Ames' parlors at 8 o'clock
and tomorrow the remains will be
taken to the old home at Dolores to lie
beside his brother.--Tuesday's Durango

The BLUFF OIL FIELD.
Everybody Busy and Large Prepara.
tions are Being Made for
DEVELOPMENT Work.

A letter received last week from w.
7. S. White states that everything Is ON
the hustle ia the Bluff oil field. Mr..
White is an oil expert who has had
large experience in the Pennsylvania
field. He passed through Dolores In
March, 1908, after drilling the first well
put down in the Bluff field, on his way
to the East with sample of the oil and
glowing description of the pOssibili-
ties of the field, aud the fact that he Is
again back on the ground proves that
he has not lost faith in what will,
when properly developed, be the
greatest oil field in the world.
1t appears that all that is necessary
in order to strike oil in this field is to
drill a hole, as dry holes are unknown.
The first well was only between two
and three hundred feet deep when a
large flow of excellent oil was struck,
and now a well between four and five
hundred feet deep is being pumped
to get oil for fuel, aud it produces thirty
barrels per day.
New wells are coming In quite regu-
larly. The Red Wood Oil company
struck oil at Bitter Springs the 10Th of
last month.
The Chicago Exploration company
have established four camps between
the Bluff field and Gallup, New Mexico.
and are now busy surveying. Jackson
Il Mckee of New Mexico, have vail
dated their claim, or rather five of
their claims, and have started a deep
hole. They will go down 1000 feet II
necessary. The Arcola Oil company Of
Sonora, California, is busy drilling,
They have an expert driller by the
name of John Boaden, who has worked
thirty years rs driller in all fields of
note. The Arcola company is also
shipping in a standard rig. The Nor
wood & Bluff City Oil company, which
lost string of tools some time ago,
have succeeded in fishing them out and
are again drilling with good showing
of oil and indications for good pro-
ducer.
Another rig was unloaded at this
place Wednesday to be taken to the
Bluff field to help the thirteen or four
teen machines already there to do devel-
opment work. More rigs are expected
in during the next two months and It
is not likely that there will be any let
up in the work next summer as the
wells that are pumping are supplying
the drilling rigs with oil for fuel, which
does away with the disagreeable job Of
tireing with wood.
