Forestry Policy.

1 Forests should be maintained

Wilson Of the department Of agri.
culture takes, and 1t II the one
which ought to control In forestry

Conservation 10 ecouomico use,
not merely . kind Of boarding for
the possibilities Of the future. The
prineval forests Of this country
were not destroyed BY the Indians;
but neither were they conserved.
The Indians put them to no use.
The white men who came later de-
stroyed much Of the forest growth;
and the only adverse criticism
which can be made Of their action
arises from the fact that much Of
the destruction Was needless, was,
Ia short. pure waste. But . cult.
waited farm u in more cases better
than q forest which yields nothing
Certain forests should be main
tanned Ia the mountains Of this
state because Of their relation to
stream flow and. possibly even
more no, because Of the supplies Of
timber which may be drawn from
them. But no land should remain
included In . forest which can be
put to Q better use BY the people.
Except Tor incidental waste. there
ID no occasion for regret because
the forests scar Leadville were de.
stsoyed aud the timber Pot Ia the

avoided; but. recognising this. the
timber which went into the mines
was wisely used. So Of other
similar uses to which timber may
Be put.
Within the forests there are
tracts Of agricultural land which
homesteaders should be enabled
to acquire. VIBRATIONS obstructious
should not be thrown In the way Of
such men under the plea that they

RAILROAD COMMITTEE
AND THE FARMERS S

The railroad executive committee
decided to ask the country districts
to come in on the Southern Pacific
railroad proposition on half rate
basis compared with Durango-that is,
to ask them for 5 per cent contri'
button on realty and 21a on personal,
this to be based on the assessed valu-
alton.
1t is proposed to hold district or
school house meetings to be addressed
by T. c. Graden and others explaining
the situation. To this end Barney
Haughey of the Farmers Voice is
sending out circulars to the members
OF the farmers union, asking them to
attend meetings to be held
1t was also suggested that an op.
portunity be given those holding re-
munerative clerical positions who do
not own property to subscribe as they
may see fit, some already having done
so in amounts ranging from S25 to
500 We know of one man signing
for s25 who does not own a dollars
worth of realty and earns his living
by day work and his signature is just
as good as gold.
Additional lists were arranged for to
be left at each one of the drug stores,
W. G. White, Durango Gas & Electric
company and at Secretary Mollet!e's
office.
The committee will publish list OF
those contributing Thursday. and after
n week expect to publish the list of
those siguing as well as those failing
to do so.
Let every one get in the band wagon

WHERE'S THAT SPRINKLER?

The city sprinkler, which has been
the subject of much inquiry of late
is in the paint shop of the Jackson
Hardware company, where IL is being
given fine new dress by Scotty Starr
the expert in carriage and vehicle
painting. The sprinkler was turned
over to Scotty about six weeks ago.
who Immediately or thereabouts came
down with pneumonia, from which he
has just recovered. Meanwhile the
sprinkler had to wait in seclusion.
until the only person in town, able to
make it fit TO see the light of day,
was well enough TO handle a paint
brush This is the true story of the
city sprinkler.
Last night the ten thousandth call
inquiring about the said sprinkler
floated to the mayor over the tele
phone That gentleman called out the
fire department and the boys did their
duty nobly. The streets were in fine
condition this morning. Until the city
sprinkler is once more in commission,
the city will probably have TO depend
on the fire department to sprinkle the
streets
Who would have imagined that the
citizens of Durango We're so interested
in the fate of the sprinkler as to call
to the tune OF ten thousand times
The mayor the city clerk, and each
one of the aldermen having a phone,
have each had their share of inquiries
which seemed so systematic that they
bid fair TO do down through all of the
city departments. We have some
thing to learn in regard to our citizens
even yet, 1t seems.

STRENGTHENING POSTAL OPERA
TlONS.

Postmaster General Hitchcock
makes an effective reply 10 the state
ments of magazine publishers touch
ing the heavy loss 10 the government
caused by second-class mail matter,
says the Globe-Democrat The poe
tage rate on this matter is | cent a
pound. while Che cost of handling IT
In the mails is cents O pound In
his annual message President Taft
referred TO this leak and recommend
ed that congress, In justice to the com
mon welfare, should advance the rate
of postage ON magazines and iniscel-
laneous publications. Tho president
pointed out that the leak referred to
amounted to not less than $s1,000,Q0o
year, and the postmaster general
gave the figures explicitly III his dIs
nral report An attempt TO dispute
the showing occupies much space In
the magazines. For one thing, they
deny the correctness Of the official
exhibit The postmaster general has
just responded to this line OF attack
lie stands by his original statement
in every particular, and adds that if
The waste were stopped the postage
on letters could be reduced from 3
cents to / cent. which would be an
important item of saving to every cit
izen, Congress has not yet taSen up
the subject, but the matter calls for
action at the present session.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
shows that in second-class mail opef
aiions the average haul OF the maga
zines is 1,0iS miles. while that Of
newspapers is 29l miles An impoe
tant fact to be kept in mind Is that
the seconded rate was Originally
adopted for newspapers, and not for
magazines at all. More than "a hun
dred years ago it became the national
policy, both legislative and executive
to promote the circulation of news
papers in the interest of the prompt
discussion of public questions and the
forming of sound public opinion In
pursuance of this idea newspapers
were uu1illtltu iTcc 10 lHN udlth ih
the counties where published. The
sccond-class rate was an extension of
the same governmental policy toward
newspapers. Magazines were not In
clnded in the original purpose. They
were few in number when they first
intr,ided In the cheap postal rate Gre
ated for newspapers alone Now the
magazines are myriad, and more
than half their contents is advertising
matter. One of the periodicals lighting
postal reform charges $500 for a two
page advertisement and yet dumps a
mountain of matter into the mails
which the government carries for I
cent pound, while it costs S cents
pound. The payment Of this greai
subsidy for private benefit is an on
rage on the people.

NEW PASTOR FOR BAPTIST
CHURCH.

On Sunday, Feb. 2Sth, on recommen-
dation of the pulpit committee the
congregation of the First Baptist
church voted unanimously to extend
a call to Rev, II. A Miller, at present
at Dolores, to become permanent pas,
tor of the church. AT the close of the
sermon yesterday morning Rev Mr.
Turnbull read a letter from Mr. Miller
accepting the call.
Mr.. Miller was In Durango three
weeks ago and preached both morn
ing and evening and 1t was after meet.
ing and hearing him. coupled with let
ters from Grand Junction and other
places, that the call was extended. Mr.
three years where he proved big
success in building up the church. He
resigned the pastorate there to take
up work in the Philippines where his
years returned to Colorado with the
physicians holding no hope for re-
| covery But Colorado climate wrought
a wonderful change and settling in
Montezuma county last year open air
restored completed health and the past
winter has been in charge of the work
at Dolores. Upon learning of Mr..
| Miller's ability to return to ministerial
work an attempt was made by some
of the Grand Junction people 10 have
him take up the work there again, but
as call had been extended and ac
cepted by another man It was thought
best to live up to the agreement on
The part of the church. Mr.. Miller was
asked to supply the pulpit at Grand
Junction until the arrival of the newly
| called minister but would not leave
the work at Dolores except for per
manent call. Mr.. Miller is a married
man with Two children. His wife is
a devout Christian woman and heari
and soul In the work. and a musician
both vocal and instrumental And We
might add that Mr.. Miller is a fine
singer and also pianist, so that theil
acquisition means much to the church
in this place. Mr.. Miller's pastora
work is highly commended and under
his guidance the Durango church
should prosper in every sense of the
word.
In this connection 1t is only proper
to state that Rev. Mr.. Turnbull onl,
came TO Durango to remain few
months--until such time as perma
nent pastor could be secured. This
was last July and It Is with genuine
regret the church parts with him. As
a true, Christian gentleman. Mr. Turn
bull, meets every requirement. His
sermons have been learned and elo
quent but the altitude is too greai

CREAMERY BUSINESS GETTING
BETTER.

Ouray Herald.
When we speak OF improvement in
the Ridgway creamery business we
mean that there is more cream coming
in The demand for the product is
way beyond all hope OF the present or
immediate supply. January and Feb
ruary have been hard months in the
dairy business and the output for the
month just passed reached the bottom
notch. being less than five thousand
pounds for the month. During the
past week, however, the increase in
the supply of cream has been notice
able and March should bring the out
put of butter up to near 5000. That
is what all those are hoping for who
are using the creamery butter at any
rate.
The farmers are getting interested
more and more in the dairy business
