A WREATH OF ROSEMARY.

Durango friends of Prof. II. l.. York
were sorry to learn recently that on
account of illness in the family he
does not expect to return to Durango,
but will remain in New York. After
being identified with the life Of III,
town for almost quarter Of crn-
tury, and SO pleasantly at that, those
of us who feel that Durango is ours,
even if no intimate friends of Prof.
York will be aware of sense of per-
sonal loss. Any one who serves the
public as well as he has done, so un-
selfshly and so willingly, must be
missed without any reference to the
quality of service or the kind of task.
We should be an ungrateful people
indeed if we failed to appreciate what
Prof. York has been to the town dur
ing the years of his residence here.
Many of the men and women of to-
day first knew him as school children.
For some of us he furnished the
music at our graduating exercises, and
played their wedding marches for
many others. He has selected the
hymns to be sung at the funeral serv-
ices of our beloved dead. He has been
associated with every form of public
entertainment, for churches, library,
schools, lodges, and charity. He has
had place in the programs on Me-
mortal days which the state and ma
ton have set apart for commemora-
ton of the past. He has always ta-
ken an active part in the social life
of the town, insofar as it was CORE
lated with the music in which he was
wrapped up, heart and soul.
Let US not wait, then, you and l,
| till his passing, to weave wreath
of rosemary to lay upon his tomb
For such is the uncertainty of this
mortal life, that if SO, it may be, our
appreciation would never be express
ed. Let us present our floral offer
ing now, while he has yet, we trust,
many useful years to live. There are
many bright blossoms in the wreath
we have woven of these flowers of ap-
preciation-we mention but two whose
appearance have little to commend
them to the passing eye, the grayish
sprays of the olive, and rosemary
that Ophelia says is "for remem-
brance."

state institutions would be benefited

Practically all of the public domain
of the United States is located in the
seventeen western states, and the ter
ritory of Alaska, included in the call
for the public lands convention, which
meets in Denver Sept. IS to Oct. 8.
And the illustration which is applied
to Colorado is applicable to all of
the other western states. 1t is ad-
mitted that the natural resources of
the west have hardly begun to be de-
veloped, therefore, it is pointed out
that the people of the western states
should view with alarm any national
legislation which has for its purpose
the placing of those resources under
the absolute control of the federal
government, especially when their ad-
ministration means that the revenues
from these resources shall be diverted
from the state treasures.
While it is admitted that the pro-
posed national laws governing the ad-
ministration of the public domain
could not be retroactive, it is also
admitted that the production of coal.
oil and other natural products, and
the development of water power to
date, is infinitesimal when compared
with the possible output and develop
ment of future years, therefore, it is
argued, any figures that might be
applied at this time by way of il
Illustrating the possible revenue to the
government would be merely an index
to the probabilities of the future.
The public lands conver lion was
called for the purpose Of getting rep
resentatives Of the whole people Of
the westarn states together that the
subject might be gone into thorough
| ly. The future admini straticn of tp-
proximatsly 900,0O0,0o0 acres of land
in the western states and the territory
of Alaska hangs in the balance, and
the prosperity of seventeen states,
rich in natural resources which beggar
description, is vitality affected. And
it is for this reason that the executive
Iccmmittee for Colorado, which is ar
ranging the details for the convention,
urges every state to name its full
quota of delegates. Members of the
committee say all they want is a rep
Preventative gathering and then it will
be up to the delegates to decide what,
in their opinion, is the best policy for
the west to line up for in the ad-
ministration of the public domain.
Friends of federal control will un-
doubtedly be present in numbers, and
a lively discussion is anticipated.

AIR HOLES.

1t has been proved, to the salts
faction of the meteorologists, that
there are really "holes in the air." as
the aviators claim. These holes are
the centers of air-whirls, comparable
with the hole in the water in the cen
ter of wash basin, when the water is
circling around and escaping at
vent at the bottom. The holes in the
air are not destitute of air, but in
them the atmosphere is much less
dense than it is on either side, and
an aeroplane which strikes one of
them finds much less resisting or
buoying power beneath it, and will
tend to drop at once. Birds find these
holes in the air, and often drop per-
ceptibly when they strike them, but
their swiftness of movement and in
stinctive adaptation to conditions en-
able them to get out of them quickly,
and obtain hold upon the more sub
stantial surrounding medium.

WHAT GOVERNMENT CON-
TROL MEANS IN DOLLARS

DENVER, Sept. 13.--An Indication
of the enormous revenue that would
accrue to the federal government un-
der the proposed system of bureau-
cratic control of the public domain is
pointed out by those who are opposed
to this form of administration cf the
public lands. The illustration is made
by reference to the production Of GOAL
in the state of Colorado.
In this state the entire output OF
coal for the twelve months in 1910
was approximately 100000 tons. If
the coal industry in Colorado were
subject to the provisions in the pro-
posed act now pending in congress,
the federal treasury would receive a
royalty not to exceed is cents for
every ton mined. If this royalty were
only cents per ton, the revenue for
last year alone would have been $780,
600, or approximately one-half the
expense of running the state govern
ment of Colorado. If the maximum
royalty was exacted, the revenue
would have been $1,SOO,0OO.
just now Colorado is engaged in
the work Of securing good roads. The
question which the advocates of state
conservation of the public domain asks
at this juncture is: "How many good
roads would either of the two sums
quoted build?" Another question sug-
gests itself, which is: "How many
