A party of two Representatives of

took over the Pueblo electric lines and
that they really mean business.

The Denver delegation returned TO
Durango at 8 o'clock last evening after
day spent down in the New Mexico

automobiles and taken over the city
and through some of the fine orchards
near town. Dinner was served at the
hotel and at 2:30 the party heaved
anchor and turned their faces toward

HAS NEW
OFFICIALS
Liz Plata County Bank Has New Line
Up In Directorate

What amounts to an almost com
plete reorganization OF the La Plata
County bank was effected last night
and several new officials are today
at their posts in the institution.
Thos. X. Irwin, the former president
Of the bank, organized the institution
= couple Of yer ago, he has been
very successful both in his banking
affairs and in his private business.
For some time different parties have
approached him with propositions for
the purchase Of his stock in the bank
and this week the propositions made
10 him were so enticing that he made
up his mind to sell and to devote his
entire time hereafter to his own pri-
yate affairs. Mr. Irwin is the owner
OF considerable real estate both here
and in other localities and he believes
that giving his time and attention to
these investments will bring him a
profit in both money and health. His
many friends will be glad to know
that he will remain here in Durango.
The new officers are all, or nearly
all, too well known in this city to re-
quire any introduction at our hands,
they are all good solid substantial
business men of affairs and their per-
sonnel will add strength to the already
strong institution.

A ROSE BLIGHTED.

This afternoon little Rosie Wolfe
was laid away to her quiet rest on the
green hillside, while the little girls
who had been her classmates at the
Whittier school sang as the little
white casket was lowered into the
grave.
The funeral services were held at
the family residence ON Main avenue,
Rcv. L. w. Gunby being in charge.
He spoke very simply and tenderly of
the little friend who had left her fam
lily SO recently, and added many COM
forting words to those left behind to
mourn.
The little girl looked very sweet
as she lay in the last long sleep. In
life she was pretty child, and the
pallor of death did not detract, but
rather added TO her beauty. Loving
hands had strewn pink and white bios
SONS over her, and there were many
wreaths in the same colors, carried by
the children who followed in her fu-
neral procession, and heaped above
and around the casket.
The pail bearers who were dressed
in white, and were all pupils of the
Whittier school, were: Vivian Barton,
porcas Barton, Isa White, Genevieve
Merry, Gladys Hall and Caroline
