SAM AND THE PAPER.
A POEM.)

Once there was man whose name
was Sam, he sent a sheep herder to
the New Jerusalem, he stole his
neighbor's heifer and he stole his
neighbor's steer and the little town
of Aztec he dared not to go near. A
paper, in his county seat, upon this
bad man told, and so he straightway
went to town and hired some lawyers
bold and the lawyers said: "Wen fix
him." and they wrote lot of rot and
they sued the poor old editor for a
$4,000 pot and they prayed the court
that it quickly would, and would with
out fail, take this poor old editor and
stick him into Jail and keep him there
forever, and forever and day, "un-
til the costs of this ere suit, and
judgment, he shall pay" When the
people heard of this sad case they
mostly said 'By Dam!" do you think
it would be possible to libel this man
Sam? All this happened in Alaska
and the mans last name was Knible
and the editor, his name was Mud,
for he got sued for libel.

THE PRICE OF COAL LAND.

An owner of coal land may put
upon it any price he pleases. But
whether he shall be able to
sell it, depends upon whether
in the opinion of possible purchasers
the use to which the land may be put
will justify payment of the amount
asked.
This is no less true of government
than of private lands; and if the fed
eral government puts too high a price
upon the coal lands under its control,
it will look in vain for purchasers.
The same may be said of leases. II
the royalties demanded are too high,
or the terms and conditions Of lease
in other respects are too severe,
there will be dearth Of lessees.
In either case the coal will lie in
the ground undeveloped; and, whatev-
er may be said Of posterity, the pres
ent generation will derive little or no
benefit. The benefits Of this policy
Semi-weekly herald., 1911-08-31

so far as the present is concerned will
be protected against the competition
of new mines which might be devel-
oped on government land. In the last
analysis the people will have to pay
more for coal than, otherwise, it
might cost them.
This brings up the question wheth-
er the federal government has a right
to check this development of the coun-
try in this way and, incidentally, ex-
tend such valuable aid to the coal
corporations and other private own
ers of coal lands.
The government is in one sense the
owner of the federal coal lands. But
viewed from another standpoint, it
is merely trustee, charged with the
duty to dispose of these and other
lands for the benefit of the people.
The people who first of all, should
be considered in this connection are
the inhabitants of that part of the
country in which the coal is situated
and where it would be developed.
They should be considered before all
others, because the benefits which
would be conferred by the develop
ment and sales of the coal are super
ior to those which take the form of
revenue derived from the payment
of royalties. If the revenue should
be paid into the federal treasury, the
people of Maine and South Carolina
would, it is true, share in it. But
this would not be worth considering
in comparison with the question
whether the inhabitants of the region
in which the ccal is situated should
or should not receive the benefit
which its development and its sale in
competition with other coal would
confer upon them.
Beyond question it is unjust that
the people of Alaska are compelled to
Pay a high price for Canadian coal,
when there is good coal right at their
own door which they could dig and
consume if there were no unjust and
unwise restrictions upon its develop
ment. So with the inhabitants of
Colorado and other far western states
the government has no right to
deny to them the benefit which would
arise from the development of new
coal fields. 1t has no right, while
pretending to guard them against
the, so-called, coal barons, to deprive
them of the benefit of competition in
the coal market by holding coal lands
at so high price that the develop
ment of new coal fields on public
lands is made cticable.-Denver

GRIFFITH -ARNDT.

The marriage of Miss Stella Arndt
and Mr.. Fred G. Griffith, son of the
late DR.. David Spangler Griffith, took
place at Pagosa Springs, Aug. 81.
After the ceremony they went to
Rocky Heights where they will spend
about two months. A party of friends
who were the guests of the Griffths
at Rocky Heights added in the liberal
distribution of rice to welcome the
homecoming of the newlyweds.
The engagement was announced at
a house party given by the Griffith
brothers in the early summer at the
bungalow. The guests were Captain
Eichelberger, Mrs. Eichelberger, their
son Coolidge, Miss Ashcom and Mr..
Robert Gibson.
The many friends of both the bride
and groom in Durango and La Plata
county wish them every happiness
and all the good fortune that bids fair
to be theirs. The standing of both
Mr.. Griffith and his young wife in
this county is such as to call forth a
host of congratulations on the happy
event, and whether expressed or no,
the people who are fortunate enough
to be counted friends, as well as those
who know them by reputation, will
wish them well. In these congratu-
altions and best wishes, one of their
friends, The Herald, joins.

SO painful that l could scarcely get

sharp twinges which extended into my
right shoulder. AT night l suffered

Rod s. Day, in signed editorial in
this mornings Democrat, imploring
that sympathy be extended to Sam
TRULY, says: Remember that Christ
was crucified." This puts new phase
on the affair and if Rod will show us
where the Saviour was ever accused
of stealing cattle, horses or sheep,
of conspiring to have fellow being
assassinated, or of assault with intent
to kill, or if he can show where Sam
has ever been accused of being par
ticularly Christ-like in character, then
we'll fall on our knees and say: "Oh,
Sam, be merciful to us, sinner"

NOT ARRESTED TODAY.

Up to the hour of going to press
we have neither been arrested or sued
during the whole long day. Sam Tru-
by and his attorneys must have fallen
asleep at the switch to neglect their
favorite pastime in such manner.
On Saturday evening the constable
made his regular daily visit and in a
gentlemanly manner served us with
summons in suit wherein Sam Tru-
by, by his legal lights and next
friends, brought action against the
Denver Post and Geo. B. Munson, in
the sum of $60,000 for defaming his
sweet-scented and angelic reputation.
Remember the sum, $6O, 900, not $780,
900 as the Democrat told you. Of
course the little difference of SAC, 900
is practically nothing, especially to
a man whom the Trubys have it in
for, but we are a stickler for having
the figures right in all our libel suits.
There are still several million dol
lars in circulation for which Sam and
his friends have not yet asked so it
may be that before night we may
have the opportunity Of inspecting
another summons or warrant but just
as long as the police and the con-
stable continue to serve them in the
pleasant and gentlemanly manner in
which the papers have so far been
served it is really on,, pleasure to
be arrested or sued.
Semi-weekly herald., 1911-08-31

Coming here few months ago, a
total stranger to the people and the
country, we are quickly honored by
being sued for vast sum of dam
ages to the reputation of man with
mighty unsavory court record. We
never heard, that we can remember
of either Sam Truby or Ike Cox un-
til the day of the killing of TRULY,
We are now only on bare speaking
terms with Cox and do not think we
should recognize Sam TRULY if we
met on the street. Without personal
prejudice in the matter we took the
stand what we believed to be right
and we have seen no reason to change
our mind. We're here to stay.

HOW TO SAY IT.

The Arkansaw Traveller would be
flattered indeed to know that Lon
don is interested in his name; for time
was not so long ago when the St.
James Gazette hardly knew if there
was any such place as Arkansas.
But our new ranking as a world
power has changed all that and the
Gazette says: Now that the biggest
battleship afloat is named the Ar
kansas, an attempt has been made to
ascertain the correct pronunciation of
the name. Most people outside of the
state of Arkansas pronounce it pho
netically as spelled, Arkansas. The
question has been considered by a spe-
cial committee of the general assem-
bly, of the state of Arkansas, who
came to the decision that 'the only
true pronunciation of the name of the
state is that received by the French
from the native indians, and COM
mltted to writings i'll the French woid d
representing the sound, and that it
should be pronounced in three sylla-
bles, with the final silent, the
in each syllable with the Italian sound,
and the accent on the first and last
syllables. The pronunciation with the
accent on the second syllable with the
sound of as in man, and the sound
ing of the terminal is an innovation
to be discouraged" Therefore very
body pronounces it Ar-kan-saw.

The escape was made by the same
route taken by the fellows who carved
their way to freedom last week, the
same old plan of cutting a hole
through the floor into the room oc-
cUpied by the county superintendent,
and out through the window to lib
erty, was followed.
1t appears that last evening when
the supper dishes were removed, after
/ the prisoners had dined, they failed
to return a knife and fork and with
these fierce tools in their hands they
| climbed on top of the cells and whit
tied their way out. A hole about
sixteen inches square was cut through
the floor and the shavings show that
they had whetted the caseknife to a
razor edge as well as that they reso-
lutely whitfield to the line and let the
chips fall where they would.

Integrity, honesty, virtue, reputa-

The Herald is talking about. Ha! ha!
ha! Well, well, never heard Sam
accused of any of them before" said
an old time citizen who has known
the Trubys all their lives. That s2O.-
go damage suit acts as huge Joke
in this end of San Juan county. Safe
to say that no reputable citizen down
this way would ever associate any of
the foregoing allegations along with
the name of Sam TRULY. 1t is how
ever freely predicted that sooner or
later that bunch will assassinate
Sheriff Dufur for being an efficient
officer and doing his duty.
Beginning last night showerng
weather set in throughout this sec
tion and carries with it all the signs
of being protracted rain. Some
very good crops are being raised this
year without the aid of irrigation,
which is quite unusual.
Since the legal obstacles heretofore

ditch have all been removed, it is

as the community who have been
chatting on the bits" to have the
same go forward will now realize.
