THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

Like the disease, which is said to
break out in a new place as fast
as the old sores are healed up, the
site question for the proposed federal
building In this city seems to have
come back to life after 1t was sup
posed to have been settled and dis.
posed of.
So far as the particular site is con-
cerned we still hold to our original
position that the matter of getting the
building is a vastly more important
matter than its location. A fine gov.
eminent building cannot be erected in
Durango at such a point that 1t will
not be Durango building, yet, If the
building be built on either the corner
of Eleventh or Eighth street some
people will have to go a greater dis
lance for their mail than others and
some property owners will have their
holdings advanced in value by Its prox-
unity to the federal building. These
are facts which cannot be contro-
verified or denied.
Now, to the man up a tree, this
federal site row is beginning to take
on a tiresome aspect, to seventy-five
out of every hundred OF the citizens
Of the city and vicinity the matter
OF the site is a matter OF absolute
Indifference and the getting of the
building is the all-important thing.
Why should the interests OF the whole
town be tied up while politicians
squabble and the owners Of property,
which will become enhanced In value
provided this or that site is chosen,
fight over the site?
We want our position In this matter
clearly understood and It is exactly
this: We, being tenderfoot and
knowing almost nothing about the sit.
uation here In Durango, and but very
little about anything else. took abso-
lutely neutral grounds and refused to
allow the Herald to be used as en-
advocate for either the Eleventh street
or the Eighth street sites. when we
were requested to notify parties at
Warrington of our position In the mat

The Herald, the Republican daily OF
La Plata county. had absolutely NO
choice as between the two proposed
sites.
here by the government for that pur-
pose, selected the Eleventh street 10
cation for the site Of the federal build.
ing then we believe that the Eleventh
street site will be the cite of the
building. II such building is ever built,
and 1t IL not at all sure that 1t ever
Will be II this continual disturbance II
kept up, II 1t 10 not true that the site
has been passed on by the officials
and that the matter is still open for
discussion then we concede that the
Eighth street site boosters are clearly
within their rights in still pressing
their claims.
We do not believe that the presence,
in Washington. OF either Colonel Da-
vid Day, J. d. Adams or R. e. Sloan,
is going to cut great deal ri frozen
water. for If the officials were to hold
up every proposition until every body
was satisfied there would be excellent
skating In the land inhabited by the
devil and his angels long years before
the government could ever reach a
settlement of the most trivial matter.
II the selection has been made, then,
regardless OF the site chosen, We hope
that the officials will have the nerve
and the backbone to stick to the Sc
lection, II they have not already made
the selection then we hope they WILL
get busy and make 1t and stick to II
after 1t is made. We are not going
to boost for, or knock on. either oil
the proposed sites, but we are going
to boost for speedy final settle
ment of the question.
One thing more we want to say
and that Is that the telegraphic news
appearing on the front page OF the
daily Herald are the reports wired
us daily by the Western Press asso
citation and are given as news only
We claim no credit, or assume no re
sponsibility for them. What you read

OUR Fish AND GAME.


Enough hunting and fishing to sat
isfy the desires OF Preside nimrods
for many months can be found be-
tween the dull green covers of the
thirty-seven page report Just issued
by Thomas ]. Holland, fish and game
commissioner of Colorado. The solemn
friendliness of the hills, the sound OF
splashing trout, the terror OF fleeing
are embodied In the pages of the Off.
cial statement, for Mr.. Holland Ii a
worshiper OF nature. While the report
gratifies the appetite of fireside hunts.
men, 1t should only whet the desire
for active sportsmen. Hunting and
fishing are things in which all resi-
dents of Colorado should be interested.
as these pastimes can be made to at
tract large numbers OF persons from
other states every year.
THE game commissioner of the
state of Maine." says Mr.. Holland. in
his report. has made the astounding
statement that at the present time
over 100000 persons annually visit
the Maine woods and lakes, spending
between $l8,000,000 and 100000, 900 ;
that the licensed guides of that state
earned during last year the prince
ly sum of $4,000 in wages; that no
industry In the state equaled her game
and fish. outranhng in Importance
the products of her cotton. wooden
and pulp mills. Thus 1t can be seen
that it Ia business proposition to
effectively protect our game and fish,
In order that wanton destruction there.
of may be prohibited and a substantial
increase gained thereby. Not only do
persons who are attracted to our state
by this means spend their money dur
ing their respective trips, bat many of
them become investors and permanent
citizens"
Mr.. Holland writes that the people
generally underestimate the import
ance OF game and fish as a resource.
Those who do not believe in pro-
lection of game through sentiment,
certainly must appreciate the value
thereof from a financial standpoint"
says Mr.. Holland. For many years Mr..
Holland has been a protectionist, and
expresses the belief that the things
required most at this time are an i'm
partial enforcement of the game laws,
the protection Of fish by screening the
intake of canals and bitches and the
disbursement of stream pollution.
Thousands of fish are destroyed every
year. They are carried out of the
main streams into irrigation bitches
and when the water il shut off the
fish die. Mr.. Holland says II screens
were placed on the mouths of bitches
the fish will be saved.
The full protection of game and the
widespread stocking of streams are
things that can be brought about only
by the cooperation of those living In
the game and fish districts. 1t is
not uncommon for residents of some
parts of Colorado to have venison In
their homes most of the year. Such
men are in favor of a closed season
for others. Until farmers take pride
in protecting fish screens will not be
placed on the mouths of irrigation
bitches. Game and fish protection
must be the concern of all. and the
fish and game commissioner should
be encouraged In the effective enforce
licenses pay for the upkeep of that de-
partment, SO that 1t Is not a drain
upon the taxpayers.-Denver Times.
