A LADIES CUE

Next Thursday June ninth there
will be a big barbecue at the Sum-
merland Springs.
The cue will be given under the
auspices of the Presbyterian church
and for the purpose of raising
money for the chuich fund.
If reports are true there will be a
large number of candidates present
who will endeavor to tell their res
pective platforms.
1t is said that Col. F. H. Hyatt of
Columbia will on that date make
his maiden speech and enter for the
first time the arena of political.

Letters have also been received
from all the other gubernatorial
candidates and they have all accep-

Mr.. Foggs no longer thought OF
leaving his daughter, whose will was
law unto him and he decided to stay.
The Americans and l were soon in
separable, and the old couple were
exceedingly kind to me.
I do not think they cared to know
my business. at least they never
asked me. Miss Annie and l took
long walks together every day. We
did not exchange sweet words, but
both of us knew that deep In our
hearts a feeling was growing which
promised fair to develop into love.
None of us cared for the gossip of
the other guests and we kept on with
our daily walks, although they were
far more dangerous to us than the
steep cliff which the goats climb.
Suddenly, one day, Annie said:
There is something you want to
tell me, Mr.. Touchard"
And what should that be, Miss
Annie?"
She looked at me and her brown
eyes were soft as velvet.

Nothing has been more gratifying
to the new Herald Management than
the realization gained at meeting of
the board OF trade last night that
Durango has this strong and progress
sive organization which has accom-
piished much in the past and is now
lined up on definite plan for the
Improvement and development of this
city
In this age of great commercial
achievement and fierce competition ev.
cry community must look out for it

perity and great future prospects for
development is not going TO take a
back seat in the public band wagon

vantage in the way of climate, mn-
nicipal growth, geographical location.

inland district. and unlimited re-
sources, and Durango has a class of
citizens and business men of which
she can be proud. They are energetic,
up-to-date, and progressive, and when
Durango unites her forces under the
leadership of the board of trade and
takes |. more active part in this great
game OF boosting" there viii be few
cities in the West which can compete
with her
Now, 1t is up to us. Are we going
to sit idle and let every little burg
get ahead of usg Well, we guess not!
The board of trade has taken on
renewed life and activity and we can
expect TO see some big things started
very soon.
But don't leave H. all to the board
directors This is public movement
in which each and every citizen has
part and an active interest Every
business man and resident should for
get party and personal prejudice ant

Mr. Hewett said the party would
commence work at the ruins at once
and as it is now late in the season
operations will he pushed vigorously
so as to do as much as possible before
bad weather sets in. This year the
Balcony house will be excavated ant

former home in Pekin ILL.,, to take up

their declining years in our incom-

OUR CITY NEEDs7

1t seemed to be the prevailing sen
timent at the Board of Trade meet
ing the other night that this city
needed more people Some thought
otherwise
Mr. Graden. one OF the city's oldest
and most influential residents, ex-
pressed an opinion to the effect that
II was harmful to rush too many new
settlers into district which WAS nos
prepared to handle them. His opinion
on any subject is worthy of sound
consideration; even though many at
the board meeting disagreed with him.
Is Durango and the surrounding dis.
trict ready for Il great influx OF set
tiersf We must acknowledge that
from what we have seen we believe
there Is plenty OF space about these
valleys to keep people from elbowing
each other into the river. and there
seems TO be land sufficient In this
district to grow few more fruit trees.
cultivation we don't know.
But what we want to know is, what
can be done to make Durango and this
part of the state more attractive, more
the new settler and homeseeker2
What civic improvements do we want
to suggest TO the people and the Board
of Trade? Surely Durango can be i'm
proved, but how and in what manner2
Before we wear out all the interroga
ton points on our linotype. we wish
to say that we have our own Ideas
on these subjects which we expect in
time to spring on the poor unsuspect
ing public but first we would like to
get few public expressions from
some of the older and more expert |
enced residents of this city Tell us !
what Durango needs. The Herald will |
gladly publish communications on this
subject If written In the right spirit, |
not too long, and signed by the con-
tributors. Most every business man,
property owner, or resident must have
some idea for the improvement OF this |
city which may be most valuable. Isn't |
this subject worthy OF some sound
consideration? Most OF us in our daily |
business and social activities see
where the city might be improved, |
and we probably look at these sub
jects from different standpoints. The
Durango women must have some
ideas worthy OF public attention. Write
us few lines or speak to the editor
about it, A few new thoughts or even
old ones when spread through the
columns Of yhe Herald may lead to
scme big civic accomplishments. Who
will be the first TO give us a line or
two? Be as brief as possible. A para
graph or two may carry more weight
than a column; small seed can
sprout into very large tree.
