THE STATES PROPOSITION.

AS we understand the proposition
made by the state highway commits
sion to the district comprising La
Plata and San Juan counties, it is as
follows, the figures being the figures
furnished by those who have been
taking the matter up with the state
commission.
The state offers to appropriate, for
the building Il state highway. between
the cities of Durango and Silverton,
which road is to become "A part of
the great circle route, the sum Of
$1,000 for each county, each county is
to appropriate the same amount, max
ing total of $4,000 for the work.
It is then the intention of the state
officials to place here camp Of about
thirty convicts. This will cost, as
the initiatory expense, about $4,000,
leaving the sum Of $4,000 in cash for
the maintenance of the camp. 1t is
estimated that the cost of camp main
tenance, per man, will be 73 cents per
day.
The state commission figures that
1T will require about 8,9O4 days labor
TO complete the Silverton- Durango
road and that the expense will be,
to La Plata county, s3,285, leaving,
from the $4,000 appropriated by the
state and county, the sum Of about
$4,000 and this can be used in the
construction Of road from this city
to the Fort Lewis school.
The saving between paying the ex-
penses of the convict camp, at the
arproximated figure, and hiring free
labor, at $3.50 per day will amount
for the 5000 days, to about $11 900
Mr.. Taxpayer, is $11 900 worth sav.

FIRST OFFICIAL TRIP.

Blair Burwcll left on the Southern

for the state land board. There are
some eight thousand acres of land be-
longing to the state in that vicinity
which can be leased profitably if wa
ter rights can be obtained. At pres
ent there is an opportunity to secure
a water right To the lands, and it may
be advisable for the state to take the
matter up, since the water makes the
lands more valuable.
Mr.. Burwell will look into condi-
tions and secure necessary data for
the board to consider Mt their next
He will also look over some
oil lands and see If the FIVE thousand
acres applied for can be leased with

RIDES SIX MILES ON A RIVER
CURRENT.

Jeff Keith, the well known sheep
man OF Ignacio, had a narrow escape
from drowning while attempting to
cross Pine river. Late Sunday after
noon Mr.. Keith, who was riding
mule, along the bank Of the stream.
which was running bank full, found
/. necessary to cross to the other side.
A number of sheepmen and q few
Indians were with him ut the time,
the former trying to dissuade him
from making the attempt.
Mr.. Keith persisted and urged the
unwilling animal he was riding into
the rushing waters. When almost
half way across, those watching from
the bank saw the mule and his rider
swept down stream and rapidly out Of
sight. 1t was growing dark, and after
following the stream for some dis
lance and seeing nothing Of either
animal or man, the man concluded Mr..
Keith was drowned, and so notified
the coroner's Office.
Next morning. very early, the man
supposed to be drowned rode into
lgnacio. both he and the mule appear
ing very little the worse for their ex-
citing experience. Mr.. Keith said he
was swept along down stream for
about six miles, and was only saved
by a desperate clinging to the saddle.
Finally the mule managed to get out
OF the current and regaining its foot
ing reached the shore. Mr.. Keith add
ed that it was one of the busiest times
he had ever known, and he had an
idea that the mule thought SO, too.

CHILDREN LOST IN
ARIZONA DESERT

GLOBE, Ariz., May 22,--While
rangers, posses and searchers are
vainly hunting, Sidney and Frank
Richards. aged respectively 6 and 8
years, are wandering, lost, in the
great Arizona desert, somewhere in
the neighborhood of Rice station, on
the Arizona Eastern railroad today.
A special engine carrying carload
of searehers left Rico on Saturday
night to hunt for the little fellows and
yesterday other rescue parties were
dispatched from Globe and other near
by points.
The story Of the little fellows is
pitiful one. With n bevy of school
children they left home for school
picnic which was held at Ride sta
tion Saturday. Some time during the
DAY the pair, brothers and the best
of chums, wandered off into the wild
desert. They were not missed and
when the special train bearing the
picnickers reached home Saturday
night the pair was not on board.

WE ARE ON THE MAP.
Postal Savings Bank to BE Establish
ed Here June IL, 1911.

Durango becomes a postal savings
bank station on June IL, according
to official adyices received by Post
master Parshall last evening.
That this will be good thing we
have no doubt. The citizens of for
eign birth, having been accustomed to
postal banking system of small saw
ing deposits, regard this move as one
made by the government directly in
their interest and it endears our gov
ernment to their hearts.
AS we understand the system no
deposits, less than one dollar, are re-
ceived but this feature is avoided, in
the case of the very small depositor,
by the issuance of set of deposit
cards which are sold at 10 cents each
and, when the depositor Of dimes has
accumulated ten of these cards, they
may be deposited as cash and credit
for one dollar given the depositor.
Postmaster Parshall has not yet re-
ceived his supplies for the new system
but expects them daily and he will
be glad to give any information on
the subject to those who expect To
take advantage of the opportunity Ia
make Uncle Sam the custodian OF
their small savings.

A SMALL WHALE.

The old story of Jonah and the
Whale relates to the swallowing of q
man by large fish but this modern
story relates to the swallowing of a
mighty big fish by this fat old editor
and the members of his household.
Yesterday some of the members OF
The Electra Sporting club went up
to their private fishing grounds, at
Lake Electra and some mighty fine
big trout met their Waterloo at the
hands of the visitor. One noble speci
men of the rainbow family undertook
to take hook and line from the
hands of Thomas b. Hale, but failed
so far in his undertaking that Hale
took him in and, just at this writing,
a goodly portion of the fish is strain
ing at the vest buttons of the writer
The fish was an eight and one-half
pcunder and was the first article of
the kind which ever graced the table
OF the editor and the first trout ever
eaten by himself, or any Of the fam
lily.
AT the time Of the presentation of
the fish, by Fisherman Hale, we were
informed that it was one Of the largest
ever taken from the lake by hook
and We can easily believe that and
our only wonder is how it came that
Hale got the fish instead of the fsl.
getting Hale.
