Dan MacLean. the well known man.
ager of the American Smelling & Re
filming company plant of Durango, has
resigned after a long and faithful
stewardship, coming into the local
management upon the retirement of
Franklin Guiterman. If Mr.. MacLean

signs because he feels he needs a
rest and that long and faithful work
entities him to this, and the further
fact that his many investments need
mis- entire attention. Mr. MacLean will
remain assisting IN the work until the
latter part of the month, possibly to
some time in April. Upon being re-

Affections may be stamped out within

Affections may be stamped out within

THE authorities complain sorely at
the action of some of the physicians,
whom they alleged, have been wholly
disregardful OF the public health, in
failure or refusal to repor. coniAgious
cases to the health authorities. and
right here let 1t be said that II the a,l'
ihorities have truthful evidence that
will convict, they are falling to per
form their duty If they do not prose
cute any such offenders. As to the
facts of the situation, the Empire does
not know but is very earnest in the
belief that the spread OF contagious
diseases In Alamosa is due to care
lessness for which one or more persons
should be held responsible. AS this
a ieiony. 1t is no wonder that the PEG
pie we're bordering on riot when the
schools churches and places OF amuse-
ment were ordered closed, and openly
ascribing motive TO the action of the
physicians and charging the authori.
ties with failure 10 perform their duty.
Enough unnecessary sickness. suf-
fering, physical, mental and financial,
and death, have already resulted, and
from here down the line the guilty
should be made to account
From all sources comes the an
nouncement and belief that DR. Van
Sands has worked faithfully and in
cessantly to control and prevent the
spread OF smallpox, scarlet fever and
diphtheria, all of which are present
in Alamosa. 1t appears that all asso-
ciated with him in this work and all
with whom he has come in contact,
accord him full credit for doing his
best.
THE authorities hesitated to the last
moment and then reluctantly closed
the school and public places, and said
that had they had the proper co-opera-
ton OF all physicians in trying to con
troll contagious. they would moi have
been compelled to close these places.
While the necessity. thus created,
for closing the public schools will be
universally regretted, all sane people
will admit that ii is better than to go
along in haphazard way, endangering
the lives of all the people in the city.

MASTER MECHANIC FARMER RE
SIGNS.

j. II. Farmer, master mechanic of
the Fourth division of the Denver &
Rio Grande, with headquarters at Ala
mosa, has resigned his position. Mr..
Farmer has the reputation of being
very fair and square with the men in
his employ and has done fine work
under adverse and very trying con
ditions. II. j. Patton, foreman of the
Durango round house, expresses his re-
grets that Mr. Farmer has severed
his connection with the road He says
that Mr.. Farmer did not hesitate to
roast the offender when the work was
not up to his standard, but no man
was ever quicker to apologize when
mistaken.
Mr., Patton added that he had work
ed with Mr.. Farmer Tor the past ten
years on the Southwestern. on the
Rock Island, and the Denver d RIO
Grande, and in that length OF time
had found him Just in all of his deal
ings Mr. Patton did not know Mr..
Farmers reason for his resignation bul
said 1t was probably TO take bet
tel position, since he is a man OF
wide experience and capable of filling
places where responsibility and force
are demanded. He said that he for
one was very sorry for the change.
