What the Southern Pacific is Do
ing to Acquaint People With
the Advantages of this
Section.

The entire west will be adver-
tised during the United States
Land and Irrigation Congress to
be held at Chicago from Novem-
Der 18 to December 9 of this year.
The Southern Pacific Company
and other Hartman lines have
engaged the whole of the Coli
scum Annex for purposes of eX-
hibition, and every town, county,
or state tapped by these lines
will be given the opportunity
to show what advantage it may
have to offer to the prospective
home seeker.
To further this purpose, the
space secured by the Southern
Pacific and other allied lines will
be divided into lecture halls with
moving picture facilities, and the
towns and other centers that
care to participate in the exhibits
will be invited to send moving
picture films and lecturers to
depict to the public the oppor-
tunities for homes offered in the
various districts. Photographs
taken along the lines of the
Southern Pacific, depicting the
most interesting phases of home,
farm, and industrial life, will
also be shown. The land and
Irrigation Congress has planned
to occupy the entire Coliseum at
Chicago, but as the space allotted
to the several exhibits was
thought not sufficient for that
planned by the Southern
Pacific for it's western patrons,
that Company has concluded TO
secure the Annex for the west
err exhibits.
At the last Chicago Land show
in 1910, the Hartman lines oc-
cupied the same space as is pro-
posed to be used this year. and
it was computed that fully II, OOC
people attended the lectures. On

to figures compiled Ind issued by

Evidently the Indians were SO trou-
blesome as to interrunt all traffic with
Santa Fe and the more western forts
The slowness of their progress was
on account of the General, whose con-

medicine the doctor could do but little
to relieve the sufferings of the older
man. although he declared that his
Illness was not serious one. and

and rode ahead, to gather together the
necessary horses and supplies In ad-

drive from his mind the remembrance
of the gamblers attempted familiarity
with Hope, when he had her, as he
then supposed, safe in his power once
before In that lonely cabin on the Salt
Fork. Now, angry with bafied ambi-

there was no guessing to what eI-
tremes the desperate might resort.
The possibilities OF such situation
made the slightest delay in rescue an
agony almost unbearable. Reaching

DR.. Oscar Haruff was one Of the
best known physicians in Pueblo. He

the annual reunions. Among the en-
tertainment features will be great
clam bake in the famous Box Canon

vile programs, band concerts, ball
games, dancing, magnificent fireworks
display from mountain top, parades,
street sports, and many other notable
and enjoyable features and stunts.

the occasion, and every visitor will
receive the glad hand, be he a mem
ber of the order or n friend Of the
order. There will be ample accommo-
dations for all.

to all Colorado to come and be her
guests during the state reunion Of
Elks on Sept. II, Is and 16.

OVER NIAGARA IN BARREL.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July %.
Bobby Leach, 40 years old of Mag
ara Falls, Ont, this afternoon went
over the Horseshoe falls in a barrel
and still lives. Though he was Sc
verely battered and bruised in the
drops of 1856 feet over the brink OF
the cataract, he sustained only su-
perficia injuries and tonight is able
to be about his house.
This is the second time in the his
tory Of the river that the cataract
has been successfully navigated. Mrs.
Anna Edison Taylor Of this city made
the trip in a barrel on Oct. "a, 1911,
and came out alive.
Harrassed by the police on both
sides Of the river Leach was forced
this afternoon to make his start from
La Sale, two miles and half above
the cataract on the United States
side. Two river men took him in u
launch to Navy island, where every
thing was made ship shape and Leach
was placed in the barrel, a steel af-
fair eleven feet long with ends of
wood. Leach was hung in canvas
hammock.
The barrel with its passenger was
cast adrift just off the mouth of Chip
pewa creek, hardly a mile above the
brink Of the Horseshoe at 2:52 o'clock.
When 500 yards from the brink the
barrel was caught in the tremendous
current and raced to the chasm. With
in 200 yards of the brink it struck
hard against a rock and large sec
ton of the wooden end was broken
off. AS the barrel reached the crest
at 1913 o'clock it swung straight and
went plunging down into the abyss
on its long axis.
Hardly thirty seconds elapsed until
it was seen careening in the spume
below the cataract. With the terrific
oUtrush Of the Horseshoe caused by
high water. the barrel went floating
down, tossing and tumbling in its
passage towards the upper steel arch
bridge. Frank Bender of Chippewa
swan out to it with rope and caught
the barrel by one Of its handles. From
that point the barrel was towed
ashore.
Leach was bleeding and appeared in
bad way but once out of the barrel
he raised himself and waved to the
crowds that lined the banks.-Denver
papers Of July 26.

SUCCESS OF FORMER DURANGO
MAN.

Durango friends of r. S. Parsons,
formerly instructor in science at the
Durango high school, will be interest
ed to know that he is pursuing n very
successful career ms agronomist of the
agricultural college ut Laramie, Wyo.
A recent visit of an inspector from
Washington resulted in high COM
pliment to Prof. Parsons work, the
former stating that the department
was in better condition than at any
time within thep asst sixteen years.
AS consequence 5000 was added to
Mr.. Parsons salary for the coming
year, and also $4,000 allowed for i'm
provements on the model farm.
Possibly the fact that he was re-
Gently offered the state dictatorship Of
dry farming for Wyoming, and also
a position as agronomist at the New
Mexico station, at a salary of $4,000,
may have had something to do with
the above. 1t probably appeared to
the faculty Of Laramie that il Mr..
Parsons was worth $1,000 to the Unit
ed States, he was worth similar
amount to them.
In addition to the raise in salary
Mr.. Parsons was given a months va
cation on full pay, and the opportunity
to attend graduate school of agri-
culture for four weeks with all ex-
penses paid.

A NECESSARY PREROGAT1vE
rC1;nton HERALD


Every man. no matter how he may
be situated. or what his interests may
be. must recognize the fact that any
combination that creates a practical
monopoly: that stiles competition and
is in restraint of trade. Is a menace
to the welfare of the nation. whether
such combination reduces or increases
the prices Of the commodity thus con-
trolled.
But every man Of common busin ess
sense ought TO recognize the fact that
any corporation that does not do these
things can have no other than a bene-
f1cent result and must always be a
blessing. contributing to the prosperity
of the whole county in large measure.
Had the supreme court ordered the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Com
pany without recognizing this differ
ence It would have resulted in one OF
the worst financial panics this country
ever has known. No business would
have known whether or not II could
live It was most fortunate that the
supreme court SO differentiated and It
