Over Monarch Pass

c. M. Carter, a mining man
from Ohio City. can claim the
honor of making the first trip with
an automobile over Monarch pass.
the western extension of the
Rainbow Route. He came over
Wednesday with a Hudson $50"
making the trip in two hours. He
had as passengers besides him
self and wife, Elmer Wiley of
Pitkin, county commissioner of
Gunnison county. Fred Nelson
and Carl Sellards of Ohio City.
Besides this he had about 800
pounds OF baggage or the equivs-
lent of two more passengers. He
reports the western slope in much
better repair than the eastern
slope, although he says the COM
missioners Uf Chaffee county
have been at work on this side.
Mr.. Carter is an enthusiastic
booster tor the Rainbow Route
and his car carries banners on
either side with the inscription
"Over Monarch Pass, Rainbow
Route, Gunnisor-Denver." He
says it is 3J7 miles from Grand
Junction to Denver over the Rain
bow DoLte via Monarch Pass,
while over Tennessee pass it is
over 410 miles, and the scenery is
so much superior over the former
that there is no comparison. He
also says it is only GO miles from
Salida to Gunnison by Monarch
pass. while it is 70 miles by rail
and that there is a saving of 81
miles in favor of Monarch pass
over Cochetopa pass or nearly
double the distance.
Mr.. Carter is headed for Canon
City and will boost for the Rain
bow Route ali along the way

years been chief compositor at
the Booster Office. True to a re-
mark that the groom made one
day, "Hotchkiss needs more
women" he proceeded to better
conditions in our sister city and
urged his suit SO persistently that
the young lady in question finally
acquiesced to make a change in
her vocation. Hotchkiss' gain is
Paonia's loss.

favor of the conviction OF all the
defendants and at one time ii to

ties. He proposed to take water

evidence introduced at the trial.
of the land he intended to irrigate.
Engineers later surveyed the land
and found that the plans Of Gould
would cover the town of Hotch
kiss with water. The local divi-
sion of the general land Office
took up the matter and rnvesti-
gated it. They found Gould's
project not feasible.
Gould sold a two-thirds interest
to White and Wright for $1,000.
After this, the defendants planned
to go farther up the river for the
water. They proposed to build
reservoir at Hart's basin. This
reservoir would have covered
5000 acres of land if it had been
constructed.

departed this morning on trip around
the circle, via the Southern. Mr.. Nc
Kinney expects to return in about
three weeks and bring the new di-
rectory with him. Before his train
left this morning MIR Mckinney said he
had never known a winter climate that
he liked better than Durango. The
past three years he spent on the Pa
cific coast, in Washington. Oregon
and California, and he considers that
our. climatic conditions are far SUI
perior to any of the towns in the
states mentioned.
He said that he had expected to
spend a few weeks in Durango, and
stayed five monthsy.and when depart
ing permanently he would have notn
ing but good words to say for our
particular kind of weather. He added
that while residents of this city had
commented on the weather as being
unusual, he remembered a number ol
eastern towns where the same tenn
perature as registered by the ther
mometer, would almost freeze the

regret that the idea has gone out of
style. There is much comfort and
satisfaction found in knowing that one
is good speller. Not long since we
attended big spelling match where
there were prominent educators from
several states in attendance, we took

REGARDING THE CITY TREAS
URER.

The following letter was handed to
Us today and we feel that the writer
has right to ask of US the favor ot
| its publication. We are not convers
ant with civic affairs to an extent that
we feel justified in mixing up in
| fight in which we will have no vote
We are informed that Mr.. La Count
has held the office for some ten OF
twelve years, that Mr.. Vaile has beer
his deputy and that no fault has even
been found with the way the duties
of the office have been discharged
We do not understand that Mr.. La
Count is asking votes on account OF
his affliction so we see only the mat
ter of a choice between the candidates
made by the personal acquaintance OF
both.
Personally we stand just exactly
where we have stood all the time and
that is we favor the election Of women
to at least few of the civic offices.
Durango, Colo, Mar. 27, 1911.
Editor Of The Herald,
Dear Sir:
AS you have been advocating in
your columns the election of women
to civic Offices 1 want to call your at.
tention to the fact that you have an
opportunity to prove your faith by
your works by helping us to elect one
woman candidate, Mrs. Dave, who is
the woman's candidate for city treas
urer.
Mrs. Dave is we'll known and is ca
pable in every way to discharge. the
duties of the office and she needs the
money which is paid as salary.
Her opponent, Mr.. La Count, has
held the office for many years. He
has made good record but his deputy
has really been the treasurer and, il n
woman has any understanding of poll
tics, we do not understand that any
one person is entitled to hold an office
for life even If they do have good
deputy, so while we would not say a
word against Mr.. La Count we do say
that we think that the women Of Du-
range should be recognized for we
have to pay taxes just the same as n
man.
AS there can be no politics in the
office of city treasurer we feel that
the election of Mrs. Dave is nothing
more than the women Of the city have
right to ask.
