THE PEACEMAKER.

Theodore Roosevelt rendered great
service to humanity when, as presi-
dent of the United States, he used
the good influences of that great Of
flee to bring about a cessation of the
war between Japan and Russia. For
this distinguished activity, and re-
gardless Of the fact that he believes
wars are inevitable and necessary
when certain questions of honor are
at stake between nations, he was
awarded the famous Nobel peace
prize.
What is to be the mark of recogni-
tion to William Howard Taft for his
monumental accomplishment in the
quest of universal peace through his
consummation of the general arbitra-
tion treaties between England and the
United States and France and the
United States? They spell the doom
of possible wars between England or
France and the United States. Not
only that but treaty between Japan
end the United States along the same
lines is to follow. And it is as GER
tain, as the fact that day follows
night, that these wonderful treaties
will be the forerunners Of like treat
les between the other great nations of
the earth. President Taft has given
the universal peace movement an inn
petus so great that it will take no
backward step. 1t will march on and
on to an ultimate reality.
There is no medal or prize extant
that is sufficiently significant to meas
ureup to the deed of President Taft
in this particular. But he will hear
the glad peans of praise from the
Brotherhood of Man until his dying
day. History will accord him major
place among the peacemakers of the
ages. His fame In the chronicles of
the world from Its beginning to its
end Is secure.
OF the Eight Bcatitudes given voice
to by Jesus of Nazareth, the Seventh
is:
blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children Of
God"

Durango friends will be sorry to
learn that Miss Jennie Hood, who has
been working during her summer va
cation at Estes park, SO as to lessen
her expenses at the Denver university
next term, recently lost most of the
proceeds of her summer earnings
when the Eastes Park hotel burned.
Miss Jennie had brought most of her
clothing for the coming term of school,
but saved nothing but what she had
on at the time of the fire. The young
lady is not by any means discouraged,
although it is a disappointing occur
renee. But when a girl has courage
and perseverance, she will get her
education in spite of all manner of
unfavorable circumstances.

A BRIEF VISIT TO IGNACIO.

Those persons who have not visited
Ignacio for the past two years would
be amazed at the change in conditions.
During even one year, the growth of
the town has been rapid. The town
site is admirable, extending in wide
level stretch to the foot hills on one
side and to the river on the other.
The town has been plated and along
the principal street buildings have
been erected and others are in course
of construction.
One of the first buildings one sees
on the way from the depot is the
fine new livery barn of the Russell
& Sparks firm, both of whom are
former Pagosa Springs resindents.
and have now cast in their lot and
moved their families to Ignacio.
Just across the street is the drug
store, recently opened up by Oswald
Keene, who recently sold out flour
ishing drug business in bayfield,. The
building belongs to w. A. Goodnight,
I the store being 25 by 40 feet, with a
fine glass front, and cement side
walk. Back of the store are rooms
occupied by Mr.. Keene and his family.
Almost adjoining is building
which, when completed, will contain a
hardware store, and barber shop, with
large hall on the second floor, ex-
tending over both stores.
The bank building, which is also un-
finished, is of cement blocks and will
be of imposing appearance. The
foundation of large hotel to contain
ter rooms has just been excavated.
Mrs. Mcbride of Tiffany will be the
landlady. The foundation for the new
High school building has been COM
menced. This will contain five rooms
and will cost about $1,000. Five other
large buildings have been contracted
for, but have not yet been commenced
OH account of rush of work.
1gnacio already has several build
ings built earlier than the above, in
clsding the Burns Mercantile, black
smith shop, meat market, the Wayt
hotel, and others we had not time to
note. There are residences scattered
all along the townsite, four or five
at least of these being built of ce-
ment blocks. Many of the buildings
are of adobe, and several are of adobe
with an outer coat of cement, which
makes very durable and satisfac-
tory building material.
In the Aspaas addition, which in
cludes the new drug store and ada
cent buildings, there are about 225
feet Of cement sidewalk, and several
hundred feet additional have been con-
tracted for, but the exact amount has
escaped our memory.
In the short time between trains
there was opportunity to obtain but a
small part Of the material pertaining
to the growth of the town, and much
interesting matter Is therefore omit
ted from lack of time to gather the
same.
