Of the church, bishops. monsignors and
scores of priests as active participants
or interested spectators in the I'M
pressive ceremonials of solemn po-
titical mass, of which Cardinal Glib.
bons was the celebrant the three
days ceremonies attending the conse-
Grafton of st. Patrick's cathedral be-
gan this morning.
The ceremonies brought together an
assemblage of prelates of the church
only a little less notable than that
which marked the sessions of the re.
cent Eucharistic congress in Montreal.
Heading the list of participants were
Cardinal Vannutelll, papal legate; Car
dlnal Logue. primate of Ireland, and
Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. Among
the other distinguished prelates were
Archbishops Farley OF New York,
O'Connell of Boseton, Ryan of Phila-
delphia, Glennon of st. Louis and nu.
merous bishops from various parts OF
the United States and Canada.
The ceremonies began with the con
secration at O'Clock this morning.
One thousand persons composed the
procession. which moved around the
great cathedral before taking part in
the solemn service. The procession
was headed by aeolytes. ohoristers and
the diocesan clergy who were follow.
ed by the monslmon bishops. arch.
bishops and cardinals, all clad in the
gorgeous vestments of their respec.

Raymond. The Herald was then
a small institution, the combined
daily and weekly circulation being
less than 200. Now The Herald
reaches a large proportion Of the
homes Of Durango and La Plata
county besides q large circulation
in surrounding towns and coun-
ties. During these twenty-three
years The Herald has been to us
like a child, ever striving to I'M
prove. That we have often fail.
ed in meeting deais we readily
admit. When we have erred II has
been a matter OF Judgment and
not Of heart. At times no doubt
some people have felt they had
cause for complaint, but as a per-
sonaI proposition no one wac ever
attacked in the columns OF The
Herald. We have had occasion
to make some harsh criticisms of
men in public life-men holding
official positions, but we have en.
deavored to always have right on
our side.
Under the management of the
undersigned The Herald has ever
stood for honesty in official life.
We have been unalterably against
graft and we challenge any Re
publican or official Of any party
of ever being approached by the
management TO stand in on graft.
In dealing with both city, county
and state and the people we have
endeavored to apply the same rule
and we stand ready to have every
bill rendered against the city or
county investigated and passed
upon by competent authority, and
no individual, politician or bust
ness firm was ever held up for a
dollar.
That we made some enemies we
admit, but a newspaper without
a few enemies Is a milk and wa
ter sheet that no one cares for.
To those who came in for criti-
cism we desire to say, so far as
we are individually concerned, the
slate is washed. We have no enc
mics to get even with our one
object being to live in peace and
harmony with one and all, ever
taking a part in the welfare and
advancement OF Durango, la Plata
county and this great southwest.
As TO our future: AZ most Her
aid readers know. having great
faith in the agricultural. stock and
fruit industry in this county. we
purchased one OF the big ranches
in the Animas valley some
eighteen months ago and at that
time S. w. Raymond went to the
ranch and has looked after 1t
since. Mr.. Raymond will continue
to reside there. Geo. NJ. Raymond.
believing in puranao's future
that II is going to be the great
commercial city on the western
slope and will soon be on a
through Pacific coast line, viii
continue to be a resident OF Du-
rango. II will take a month or
so to get business affairs straight
ened and then after a few weeks
rest the future will come up for
consideration as at this time no
definite plans have been formed
and the future will have 20 deter
mine.
In closing, we desire to thank
the many friends and patrons Of
The Herald for the uniform cour-
tesies extended over the time we
have been connected with the pa
per. We appreciate our friends
and we trust that we may ever
be faithful and true to them and
to the general public which has
enabled US to establish news

signed have sold The Herald to
Vim. A. Bartlett There viii be
no-ehange in fhesserSe OF the daily
or weekly editions, nor In the
name of the company, there only
being transfer Of stock.
Mir. Bartlett comes to our city
with the highest recommendation
as a newspaper man, having had
over fifteen years experience on
the largest city papers as we'll as
some or the smaller cities Of the
country, for tha past fifteen years
being with Denver and Cheyenne
papers. From a short acquaint-
ance we have found him a very
genial and pleasing gentlemen to
do business with and we feel con-
fident he will win the hearts of the
people from the start.
AS to future policy II is for him
to say, but we understand it will
be practically along lines Of the
past. The Herald will be contin-
ued as newspaper instead of an
organ, catering to the highest
ideals of the community. One
thing certain, The Herald will be
continued as a Republican news
paper. This was one Of the CON
celebrations in selling. We have
great love for the Republican
party as whole. There may be
Individual misdoinss and occasion
al bad legislation, but as a whole
we believe the Republican party
to be the party Of the people.
hence we would not want The Her
aid to be other than a Republic
an paper, at all times doing JUS
tiee to the opposition and placing
the welfare Of the community
above petty local politics.
In letting The Herald 90 1t is
like saying farewell to son or
daughter. For twenty-three long
years we have been at the helm.
We have passed through many vic
eissitudes, once that at times made
the heart grow faint--throunh pan
les, political, business and news
paper wars that became very un-
nj hn
times the struggle seemed too
heavy TO bear. For years The Her
aid, with the most economical
management, failed to meet en-
penses. There were dark days ga
lore, but perseverance received
its reward. The tide turned and
today The Herald is the best piece
Of newspaper property on the
Western slope, and in saying this
we do not exclude Grand juno
ton. The paper enjoys steady
commercial business that Is not
often escelled. True, advertising
rates are not as high as they
should be to make It possible to
make as rapid improvements in
the news service as desired, but
this will be righted as prosperity
increases in the city.
