THE SHELTER.

Owing to the utter impossibility of
procuring enough ore, during the
present conditions in transportation
facilities, the smelter is going to be
forced to temporarily suspend active
operations in the near future but the
suspension will be of very short du-
ration if conditions become favorable
fo- the resumption of work at the
Plant.
In a conversation with Superin-
tendent Gilbert today we learn that,
IL his opinion, the outlook for the
mining and smelling interests in this
vicinity are considerably better than
they We're a year ago. The La Platas
promise to do great deal, during the
coming season, to swell the volume
of Durango business as the supplies
for all the La Plata mines are pur-
chased and the ores are all smelted
n. this place. The mines, or at least
many of them, will continue produc-
ing and the ores will be stored for
the present. During the suspension
of operations at the smelter the plant
will be overhauled and all needed re-
pairs made. A small force of men
will be kept at work and ore will be
received all the time. The office force
will be maintained and a part of the
assaying force be kept at the plant.
Some of the officials will take short
vacation but will keep in touch with,
and ready to return to, the institu-
tion at moments notice.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-At last
the sun shines and fandom is happy
The championship game goes on this
afternoon, the grounds, however, are
so soggy and rain soaked that it re-
quired gang of men working all
night and until nearly noon today
getting them in shape. Both teams
are eager for the game.
The gathering of people at the
grounds at o'clock indicates large
attendance, but it is noticeable that
the edge has been taken off the event
by the continuous delay. The play
ers now seem more interested than
the public.
At 2 O'Clock when the game was
called, big crowd was present num-
bering about eighteen thousand.
Matthewson was in the box for the
Giants, and Bender for Philadelphia.
Matthewson started grandly, striking
out three big hitters. The Giants bat
ted Bender freely and secured two
runs. Nothing doing then until the
fourth inning, when Matty weakened.
Murphy, Davis and Baker each pound
ed out doubles and Collins sacrificed,
making three earned runs In the
fifth Baker came to the bat and made
a double, scoring the man on second.
The score at the beginning of the
sixth inning stood four to two in fa-
vor of Philadelphia. The crowd was
wildly enthusiastic after the fifth in
ming but is now depressed. The New
York contingent is down in the mouth
No scores in the eight and ninth in
ming, Philadelphia winning the game
A to 2.
Philadelphia ms de seven doubles,
New York two. In the ninth inning
New York came near scoring as Mer-
kle doubled and reached third, but
could not get home.
Bender pitched fine game finally
The crowd poured into the field and
overwhelmed the Phillies with all
sorts of admiring expressions.
The betting this afternoon was ten
to two that the Phillies would win the
series. They have to take but one
more game, having won three now
and New York one.

ELLIS ROBERTS PASSES AWAY
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
When the news began to circulate
around town yesterday that Ellis
Roberts, the kindly engineer on the
Rio Grande Southern, had passed
away quietly at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, the regret was general. Mr..
Roberts had many friends who liked
and respected him for his sterling
qualities, and the sympathy of the
community is extended to his family
for the loss of kind and loving hus-
band and father.
Mr.. Roberts had been i'll but a
short time from heart trouble al
though he is said to have had pre-
vious attacks. He was, however, so
much better on Saturday morning that
his friends had hopes for his re-
covery, but the Improvement was
doubtless but the flare of the flicker
ing energies just before the end. He
was fifty years of age and had been
in the railroad service continuously
for about thirty years.
Arrangements will probably be
made to take the remains back to the
old home in Usage City, Kas. Details
will be given later.

NO COLD FEET AMONG
MONTEZUMA BOOSTERS

Word comes from Cortez that the
preparations for the boosters trip to
the Denver Apple show on the week
of Nov. IL are going rapidly forward
A fine exhibit of what the county can
produce in the line of the fruit, pop
ular from the days of the Garden of
Eden, has been collected, and we have
no doubt that on this occasion, as in
the past, Montezuma will "do herself
proud"
The boosters have their arrange
ments about completed for special
car which will be appropriately deco
rated so that no one along the route
can possibly mistake them for any
thing other than they are-men who
believe in their home county and are
so proud of the fact, that they want
every one else to know it too.
About thirty residents of the valley
have expressed their intentions of go
ing to Denver to attend the apple
show and boost for the Montezuma
valley and the San Juan section. The
boosters will also take along their
band which is an uniformed organi-
zation of fifteen pieces. Their IA
nous male quartet, and possibly, a
lady soprano, will likewise accompany
them. -
The quartet is booked to sing in
the Denver Auditorium and will give
a series of concerts in the Denver ho-
tells, the engagements having been al
ready signed up. AS already an
nounced in these columns the local or
ganization of the Elks have arranged
for concert by the male quartet on
Nov. 10, the night they will pass
through Durango on their way to Dem
yer. After the concert there will be
dance for which the music will be
furnished by the boosters band.
Such trip win cost money, but evi-
IDENTIFY the progressive citizens of the
Montezuma valley consider that the
expenditure of their means and energy
will be worth while. They say that
If ever there was time when ad-
vertising would pay, it is now, when
the outside world believes we are all
down and out on account of the recent
flood. The boosters say Montezuma
county is on the map still in spite of
the general impression to the con-
trary, and that this trip is one of the
ways by which they will prove it.
Who's afraid of floods?

FARMINGTON ALSO
SHORT ON MAILS

FARMINGTON, Oct. 23.-The most
annoying effects of the late flood ap-
parently is the inconvenience of ir-
regular mails and suspension of d. &
r. G. railroad traffic. The Herald is
about the only daily paper reaching
Farminguon since suspension of traf-
fic three weeks ago, and at times would
easily bring dollar apiece if sub
scribers were so ungenerous as to hold
up their neighbors. AS it is you may
safely estimate each copy on the
Pennington list read by at least twen-
tyfve people.
One humorous philosopher figuring
upon flood damage as follows:
Charley Smiths crop of grain below
Fruitland was transferred to the
starving millions residing in the
Grand canon while in return Bill
Browns corn crop just above lodged
on Charley's farm. Alex Sutler had
fifty acres in alfalfa hay all nicely
stacked which following a perilous
cruise on the swollen San Juan found
mooring on Suffers farm, and so on
up the different streams with more
or less variations in exchange of
commodities" until the last farm high
er up is reached and that happened
to be Mike Leary, an old Scotch farm
er. Mikes version is in effect that
the only dumpings from above so far
showing up on his eighty-acre farm
is six dead and muddy sheep which
the owner can have by proving prop
erty and paying for this advertise
ment.
Erroneous reports said to have
reached the outside and published re-
lating to the late high water are most
ludicrous to all who are familiar with
the topography of this country. All
rivers are necessarily confined to mar
row channels owing to precipitous
banks, and with but slight variation
no part of the valleys exceed half
mile in width.
Although isolated from the world
for the time being matters social,
commercial and otherwise drift along
about as usual. The city water works
system is rapidly nearing completion,
ia sewer system is being talked of,
many wagon loads of apples, corn and
small grain are being transported to
Gallup and supplies brought in in re-
+; turn, farms being made ready for
next years crop, public roads under
going repairs, various social affairs
pulled off, the dinner horn blows three
times a day as usual, no apparent
change in the flavor of chicken, pie or
strawberry short cake, people court,
and marry and have the toothache as
if trains were running three times a
day while Brooks comet sparkles in
the west of evenings all same as in
Chicago or any other railroad center
What ever or else that may be said
San Juan county stands practically
alone as the one county Of the Union

mot DEAD BUT SLEEPETH."
From Mondays Daily.

The First M. E. church was filled
this afternoon with the friends of the
late Mrs. o. P. Frary, whose remains
reached the city yesterday from Riv-
erside, Cal, where she died short
time ago. Beside those attending from
Durango, there were a number of
visitors from out of town. La Plata
circle, Women of Woodcraft, of which
organization the late Mrs. Frary was
a valued member, was present in a
body. The county offices in the court
house were closed-the officials at
tending the funeral.
Rev. G. F. Rassweiler, pastor of
the NJ. E. church, was in charge of
the service which commenced by the
singing of the well-known hymn,
"Some Time Well Understand" by a
quartet composed of Frank Lake jr.,
A. A. Buck, Mrs. G. Cedarholm and
Mrs. Stockmeyer.
After the prayer, Mr.. Buck sang,
by special request, Mrs. Frary's ia
vorite solo, "The Day Is Ended" Rev.
Rassweiler took for his text the me-
morable words of Jesus, spoken at the
raising of Jairus' daughter, ..She is
not dead, but sleepeth," from which he
garnered many comforting and bea u
tiful truths.
The speaker referred to death as a
change, new relation, a new phase
of the souls existence. The body
sleeps and wakes again, and so in
the sleep we call death, the loved
one, who has left behind those near
and dear, will surely wake up to IA
broader and fuller life. AS the seeds
planted in the springtime die in one
form to spring up in new and larger
existence as plant, so with our be-
loved dead.
The certainty of immortality was
plainly brought out, and the fact en-
phasized that no mortal change could
destroy character so true and kind
ly, and that in itself reflected so
large a measure of the eternal. She
still lives on in the hearts of her
children, her kindred and her friends,
and the memory of her CHEEKY spirit
and unselfish thought for others will
be as sweet as the benediction after
prayer, and as encouraging as star
beam in a stormy sky, to lost wan
derer far from home.
The service closed with Tennyson's
beautiful, "Crossing the Bar"
The flowers which lay grouped
around the gray velvet casket in their
purity and profusion reminded those
who were present of two years pre-
yious when Mrs. Frary said that the
flowers sent by sympathizing friends
to the funeral of her son, Luther
would best commemorate her boy II
sent to the sick of the city. She
thought it better to use the blossoms
to while away a weary day for the
sick then to leave them on the grave
The pail bearers were: j. c. San
ford, Thomas lockwood, Thomas
Smith. d. L. Sheets, William Dobbini
and J. w. Green. At the cemeter,
the members of the Women of Wood
craft held short service, around th'
grave which had been prettily deco
rated with carnations and ferns.
