ST. COLUMBA'S CHURCH
GROUNDS TO BE IMPROVED

Rev. Father Callahan, pastor of ST.
Columba's church, has let contract
to the Joe Boduar company for put
ting in sidewalks and curbing around
the block owned by the Catholic
church. When the work is complete
the entire block will be planted with
grass seeds and trees between the
sidewalk and curbing. 1t is expected
also that st. Mary's academy will
put in new sidewalks and curbing on
their property. If the city fathers
were not joking when they ordered
new cement sidewalks to be imme-
diately built between Main avenue
and Mercy hospital this portion of
North Durango will be one of the
beauty places of the city. The walks
will be in place before the opening
of the Colorado New Mexico fair. The
work on st. Columba's church which
began six weeks ago is making rapid
progress. The exterior will have three
different kinds of finish. All the win
dow and door openings will be float
finish in natural cement. The main
body of the church, including pilasters
and minarets will be finished in peb-
Bile dash with blue pebbles from the
Tiger mine of Silverton and the
foundation to water table will be fin
ished with pebble dash of white quartz
from the Silverton Silver Lake mine.
The entire tower, including the lofty
spire over one hundred feet high, will
also be veneered with cement and
have a blue finish. One Of the most
beautiful additions to the church will
be the elegant Gothic portico.s AT
present eighteen men are working on
the church and grounds. Silas W.
Smith is the architect and supervisor
L. f. Emmett has the contract on the
church.

ported to have crossed near Colunibs,
N. M, and are presumed to be headed
for the same point In the interior.

ALL READY FOR STATE FAIR.

The board Of trade rooms are
busy place today, while the exhibits
are being boxed ready for shipment
on tomorrow's train. There are six
big cases full Of grains and grasses
neatly tied up with pink and blue
ribbons, and as fine as can be seen
anywhere. The macaroni wheat seem
ed to be particularly good.
There are about fifteen boxes Of ap-
pies and different kinds Of vegetables.
Perhaps the most remarkable speci-
men that has been brought in is a
single root of alfalfa from the ranch
of George E. Williamson on the Flo
rida mesa. This one root Of alfalfa
| is like small tree, and measures six
feet two inches from root to the top
Of the highest stalk. There are three
hundred separate stalks on this root
and take it all around, it is wonder.
Mr.. Williamson has four acres Of
land on his farm which he is devoting
to the cultivation Of alfalfa for seed,
carefully culling out everything but
! the healthiest and strongest plants.
Last year from one stand Of alfalfa
he gathered five ounces OF seed, while
the most the state agricultural col
lege has been able TO gather from
one stand SO far, has been two ounces.
This gives an idea Of the vigor and
productiveness Of his plants.
Mr.. Williamson says that the plant
now in the board Of trade rooms Is
not break or prodigy, since he has
great many in his four acre tract
that are equally large. II merely
shows what can be done with the al
falfa under certain conditions.
John Turner and Secretary George
N. Raymond Of the board Of trade
will leave for Pueblo in the morning
