Word came from Alamosa today.
that ID. J. McGillis, the well known

OF pneumonia, after an illness dating
from Sunday. The Alamosa Empire of

at that time getting along very nicely.
The family, however, were not eyi.
IDENTIFY satisfied as to his condition
earlier in the week since Catherine.
who was here attending the high
school, left for Alamosa, Tuesday.
The news will be a great shock to
Durango friends. Mr.. McGillis' long
residence in this city and standing in
the community will make his death a
personal loss to many residents of
Durango. 1t seems that the hand OF
affliction is indeed laid heavy upon the
survivors. This is the third death in
the family since Aug. Ii of last year
Mrs. McGillis has lost her son James

Dear Sir:
was IA very Interested spectator
last night at the two games OF basket.
ball played In the new gymnasium of
our high school It was certainly a
cheering sight lin every sense of the
word) to watch the young people. both
boys and girls, enter into the game
with such friendly spirit, and at the
same time appear to place their whole
soul In the contest. While It is true
the senior boys went down to defeat
as Tar as the final score shows. yet
they deserve just as much praise as
the victors; and while 1t Is also true
that the junior girls were overcome
by the seniors. at the same time they
were not defeated.
To an Interested spectator II would
seem as though 1t were a shame to
confine this splendid form of exercise
strictly to the high school students
why not allow the grade scholars, saw
from the fourth or fifth grade IN
ohe opportunity once a week to show
tneir ability In sports. 1t has always
seemed to me that simply because n
pupil had not reached the age or stand.
ard OF the high school, that thew are
not permitted to take part, to the full.

other countries, believe. there ia M
oistlnction as to standing In school
the scholar who shows ability I'm anv
iorm OF sport, no matter whether he
be at the head OF the school or the
lotion, is sought after by the heads or
the various athletic departments. This
is merely a suggestion. but 1t would
seem to me that the children would
take greater interest In their earlier
school days If they were permitted to
enter into contest with their elder
school mates on the athletic field. To
an outsider and one who has gone
through the drudgery OF STUDYING his
lessons. 1t looks as though the teach.
ers and school boards would be saved

bodies, which would probably be the

Instead of having to hunt their recrea. |

COLORADO ouTsHiNEs EVERY
STATE AT OMAHA LAND SHOW

OMAHA, Jan. 21.-Colorado is the
principal exhibitor at the big land
show which opened this week in the
Omaha auditorium, with every foot OF
space occupied. The Colorado exhibit
occupies the entire stage with the ex
ception of a small space reserved for
the speakers and lecturers, and every
visitor entering the big building sees
before him the magnificent exhibit OF
the Centennial state.
At the back of the stage rises a
miniature mountain range 100 feet
long and ten feet high. This depicts
the process of irrigation. The minia.
ture represents 100 miles of snow
capped mountains, running water
drains from the watershed into reser.
voirs. Tiny dams hold back the wa
ter until 1t rushes through wooden
| fumes, falls over precipice and flows
through canals, past headgates, into
irrigation bitches that water farms in
the valley below. This scene is the
most popular of the exhibits at the
show.
The board OF immigration is ad,
vertising Colorado with grain and fruit
exhibits that take up 1000 square feet
OF space. The state reception room
was filled all evening with homeseek.
ers and investors asking questions
about Colorado.
A section of the Colorado exhibit at
tracting great attention is the Rocky

HOW THE PoLYeAMisTs THE JUS
Titled.

In his article in the January Nc
Clure's on The Mormon Revival ol
Polyamy," Burton j. Hendrick explains
how the Mormons justify their dis
regard of the divinely revealed mani.
festo OF their own church against DO.
lygamy by the following extract from
the original revelation on polyamy:
Verify. verify, | say unto you, If
man marry a wife according to my
word, and they are sealed by the
Holy Spirit of promise, according TO
mine appointment, and he or she shall
commit any sin or transgression OF
the new and everlasting covenant
whatever. and all manner of bias
phemy and IL they commit no murder
wherein they shed innocent blood-yet
they shall come forth In the first resur.
rection, and shall enter into their ex.
a!tation: but they shall be DESTROYED
in the flesh and shall be delivered
unto the buffetings of Satan until the
day of redemption saith the Lord God
In other words. any man polyga-
mist is absolved from sin II is a new
form OF plenary indulgence. Instead
OF paying money as in the days of
Tetzel; the Mormon simply take one
or more plural wives. The mere act
OF polyagmous marriage makes him
sin less. He can do anything except
murder. wherein he sheds innocent
blood and yet come forth in the first
resurrection To perjure ones self on
the witness stand, to make solemn
covenants with the American with not
the slightest idea of keeping them,
to carry on cunningly long campaign
OF deceit for the accomplishment OF
definite purposes. these. under the
Mormon revelation would be, no sin.
so long as one were in the celestial
order. Some people have said that
president Smiths statement that he
was 'defying the laws of God and man
was blasphemy. But this very revela.
tion permits him-since he has enter
ed the new and everlasting covenant
to commit all manner of blasphemies
and still not lose his 'exaltation.' In
this world he may be delivered unto
the buffetings of Satan that is, he
may be punished by the civil power
This actually happened to President
Smith in November, 1906. In that
month child was born to one of his
plural wives-his fortythird. On this
evidence Salt Lake Gentle swore out
q warrant for unlawful cohabitation
against Jne presruvn.- va. 90.

indignity of arrest, but was permitted
to plead guilty through his lawyer
