munity in the county and | am
sure proud to report such good
feelings everywhere.
If there is any bitter feelings

let it be set aside, look over any

them look over your wrong.

that the whisky traffic is the

CONG. MARTIN WRITES
LAND DEciScIoN REVISED

Blair Burwell has received letter
from Congressman John A Martin,
mailed from Washington on Dec. "a,
in which Congressman Martin writes
that Secretary Ballinger is reconsid
ering the decision of the general land
office which prevents homesteaders
from proving up on lands In seven
Ute reservations. and 1t is hoped he
may throw these lands open to entry
rnder the act OF June %, 1910. Thi lie
the Mondell surface entry act. provid-
ing that homestead entries may be
made on lands classified as coal or
mineral lands by waving all rights to
the coal or mineral deposits under the
surface. The late ruling OF the land
office was to the effect that the en-
tryman must first prove that there was
no coal underlying the land on the
reservation. which would practically
exclude occupation OF the land.

make 1t impossible for homesteaders
TO prove up on their lands in the Ute

face act, and asked that some action
be brought to have this ruling recon
sidered personally by Secretary Bal

Of the greatest part OF our public
lands. 1t was pointed out that these
decisions are usually rendered by in
competent clerks in the land office
who have no knowledge Of law and
that some radical steps should be TAX

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT AP.
PROVED.

That Durango is city OF activity
and progressiveness was we'll illus
trated by the progress which is being
made by the Board of Trade in inau.
gurating the commission form of gov
ernment. When anything is started
by the board 1t is very sure TO be
carried through and completed at once.
The board had no sooner approved
the new form of civic government at
this weeks meeting when committee
consisting OF Messrs. w. A. Stewart
and Pete Mcclellan were appointed to
make the preliminary arrangements.
and within forty-eight hours after the
meeting they have obtained 100 sig
natures OF Durango voters to a pc
tition to the city council calling for a
special election on the question OF
adopting the commission form Of gov.
erpment.
According to the statutes OF the
state OF Colorado covering the calling
OF special elections to vote on the com
mission form of government. 1t be
comes necessary to obtain signatures
to the number OF at least 10 per cent
o, the votes cast at general cleo
tion. The number OF votes cast al
the last general election in the city oi
Durango amounted to approximately
800 and consequently 1t only require,
$50 signatures to assure the holding o
n special election to vote on the prop
osition Messrs. Mcclellan and Stew
art and possibly George Goodman will
solicit for signatures today and 1t II
expected that the necessary 100 vii
have been secured by this evening
The petitions win then be presented t.
the common council at their next regu
lar meeting next Tuesday night and 4
will be the duty Of the council to is
sue the call for the election and t.
set the date for the same.
There seems to be general dc
