COLORADO GOALS MAY BE
USED IN u. S. BATTLESHIPS

Colorado Goals may be selected as
the best heating material for the big
battleships OF the United State as the
result Of a series of experiments now
being made by the navy department.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer in an
official announcement today said that
the department was making plans for
tests of Colorado coal for steaming
purposes aboard ship.
Similar experiments have been made
with fuels from Alaska, British Co.
lumbia and other Goals of the Pacific
coast.
The secretaryssaid that he was es-
pecially interested in the product of
the Colorado mines. In order to de-
termine the relative efficiency of the
Colorado and other Goals the secre-
tary said that the navy had directed
further tests to be made of the west
ern coast Goals, and that representa-
tive Goals from Colorado, Utah, Wy
oming and New Mexico be selected at
once for the comparative tests.
The announcement of the secretary
was contained in a special dispatch to
the Times this morning. 1t is regard
ed by coal men here as convincing
evidence of the good reputation of
Colorado Goals. Colorado is reckoned
as one of the leading coal-producing
states in America.-Denyer Times.

LOOKS GOOD FOR CREAMERY.

Tom Fielding, the expert creamery
man from Mancos, was here last
Tuesday looking into the prospects
for starting a creamery in durango.
Mr.. Allen of tine La Plata County bank
and Rod Day of ,he DemocSa, had a
long interview with him, and il was
agreed by Allen and Day that they
would find out if the milk from 200
cows can be secured, and if that is
done Mr.. Fielding agreed to come
here and start creamery.
Allen and Day are now sending out
circulars and interviewing farmers in
regard to the matter, and they hope
that they can soon tell Fielding to
come on.
They have already secured list
of the express charges for carrying
milk from every point on the rail-
roads that center here, and now all
they have to do is to find out who
will guarantee the milk from 200
cows. Anybody who can furnish them
with information on the matter should
see or write to B. S. Allen or Rod

ANOTHER VICTIM FOR
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
Western Press.

Western Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 25.--
Guilty of murder in the first degree
was the verdict pronounced here at
o'clock this morning against Bertram
G.. Spencer.
After being out for FIVE hours the
jury convicted him of the death of
Miss Martha B. Blackstone, and he
will be sentenced, in accordance with
the law, to death in the electric chair.
Spencer received the verdict calmly.
His defense had been insanity. Twice
during the night the jury asked for
instructions. The court room was
crowded when the jury filed in for the
last time, and crowds were outside
unable to gain admittance. Neither
Spencer's wife, nor his mother, was
with the prisoner when the verdict
was brought in.
