GRAFTON nicely and feels pretty well

Durango is now working for a
creamery and beet sugar factory,
and the prospects are encouraging
for both. The flood and closing down
of the smelter seems to have awaken
ed Durango and no doubt will be
blessing to the town. The easy pros
perity of our western towns has a
tendency to put our citizens to sleep
and they fail to see the many business
opportunities that the resources of
the country offer-Dolores Star.

The special committee representing
the Weld county Farmers club is hav-
ing phenomenal success in its work of
roie;po c.sb ,x,;tb x,hioh IN cort;,,,o
the experimental work at the Agri-
cultural college. The committee is
at present on special trip which in
cludes visits to all Of the towns in
the Arkansas valley, the Western
Slope and the San Juan and San Luis
districts. So far the committee has
promises of about $4,000. The
amount to be raised is 100000
During the last rev days interest
has centered in the strike situation
in northern Colorado. Efforts are
being made to have Governor Shat
roth to call out the troops. Six men
have been killed, considerable proper
ty destroyed and score or more have
been beaten up during the last few
months. The mine operators have ap-
pealed to the governor for protection.
So far, he has depended on Sheriff
Capp to maintain order. The sher-
iff reports that there is no trouble
that he cannot handle in that section.
However, a number of the business
men of Boulder county maintain that
the sheriff cannot handle the situa-
ton and are demanding that the gov
ernor send in troops.
Following the announcement of
Senator Guggenheim that he would
not be candidate for reelection to
the United States senate, comes the
announcement from Joel F. Vail, that
he has withdrawn from the race. Mr..
Vale announced about a year ago that
he would be candidate. Press of
business and i'll health causes him to
change that announcement and to
now SLate Inat ne VIII nOL De cAnui-
date. With the retirement Of these
two leaders, comes the removal of
the discussion as to who will be the
Republican candidates for the two
coveted positions. Unless one Of these
positions be filled through an extra
session of the assembly there will be
two candidates to elect at the primar-
les next year. Among those who are
most prominently discussed are, C. c.
Dawson, F. C. Goudy, Chas. w. Wat
erman, r. w. Bonynge, F. o. Roof, J.
W. McCreery, I. N. Stevens, E. P.
Costigan and Ben Griffith. None of
these gentlemen have directly an
nounced their candidacy and the Re-
publicans will probably select two
men as between those names and will
go to battle with them.
