The National Stock show will be
held in Denver on Jan. 16 to 81 and
tlis great gathering of the stockmen
of Colorado at its capital city will
give the boosters of the Great South
west a most favorable opportunity OF
advertising this section and its agri-
cultural and grazing advantages.
The interests of the agriculturalist
and the stock raiser are SO closely
knit together that it is impossible to
separate them. each relies to great
extent on the other for success, the
one raises the stock which goes to
market in the form of fat stock and
The other raises the grain and forage
which is necessary to finish the animal
and make 1t ready for the block, and
both should study conditions and each
grow the best crops in their respective
lines.
fords great opportunities. her vast
open and free ranges provide grazing
for the herds of fine blooded live
stock which may be fed and finished
on the alfalfa grown in abundance in
the valleys, so why not exploit these
advantages at the big stock show?
Another thing we would like to men
tion is that, during this gathering of
the livestock men from all over the
state, the Albany hotel will serve a
home product dinner, every article
served Will be product of the state
and the name OF the grower of the
same will be printed on the menu.
Could not Durango make hit at this
dinner by providing a few boxes of
her justly famous apples?

relief to the eye-for Just one gooa
reason: It il using cuts that have
either never been published In a book
let before, or have been made especlai
ly for this folder. The esult Is
piece of literature that sholld prove
very attractive to the horeseeker.
"The Illustrations and text matter
are well-balanced, that is. there are
more cuts than reading matter. In
formation on all that the honeseeker
wants to know about Is tersely given.
Moreover, the writer of tn qhiei
has not forgotten that the man com
ing into a new country usually has
children, and is just as Interested IN
school facilities as he is in the seen
cry.
"A very good, probably original
idea is used in the folder. At the top
and bottom OF the inside sheet are dis
played the words: Durango Is located
in the foothills. The resources OF this
section cannot be seen from the hotel
windows, or from the streets of the
city, This ought to aid in driving the
homeseeker out into the agricultural!
districts, which he too frequently
'skips' when getting off the train al
a mountain town.
"The Durango folder has just one
small fault-in common with a little
pamphlet gotten out by f. l.. Mckee
of Redvale-in the fact that 1t has not
laid stress enough on two big drawing
cards: Very cheap lands, and the
| coming of new railroad and conse-
quent increase in land value. 1t is
true that these points are mentioned.
! but that is all. While lack of empha-
sis does not detract from the value OF
the folder; impressing the homeseek-
err with those ideas would have made
the folder considerably stronger as
result-getter."
