Being a man he was quite modest, and so to his horror he found himself on the point of asking what she wore un- derneath. He checked himself on the brink of this enormity, but it was an unnecessary question anyway, because he knew quite well that there was noth-

 It chanced that the callers were shown into a room where the friend had been receiving ndiliner, and there were several beautiful hats lying about. During the conversation the little girl amused herself by examining the milll- ner's creation. Of tee number that she tried on, she seemed particularly pleased with large black affair which set off her light hair charmingly.

Activity in Tuscaloosa Territory

there IS great aclltity III lidl sSS- ton of the state of which Tuscaloosa is the center" said J. W. Hunnicutt, who is a. sawmill owner and farmer.
 "The building of railroads and the opening up of timber lands and also mineral lands promises to make Bibb, Tuscaloosa, Perry and Pickens coun- ties the scenes of much activity in these lines next year. \ have had pre- liminary survey made into some tim Der lands for a road to tap the Mo- bile and Ohio at Corliss and it is my present plan to put a new mill at this point.
 "Yes, the Kaul Lumber company is already at work building houses and constructing a railroad to run through it's valuable timber property This road will have one of it's termini at Tus- caloosa and the other, it is said, will ultimately be in Pensacola.
 q wish to commend the very clear and business like suggestion of MT. Clark in The Age-Herald today (Mon- day) in regard to the handling, market ing and financing of cotton. I believe that If this system were established and the state should look after the matter, as it does banks, insurance companies and food adulterations, that much of the money now in savings banks or in hiding would be invested or loaned on these cotton warrants. When we come to think of how much money is already being placed in pos tai savings bank, with only per cent interest paid. 1t becomes evident that the people, once assured of the security of the investment by the states safe guarding. would either put this money in cotton warrants or loan on them at. say, per cent. I hope all the farm CTS of the state will have an oppor- tunity to consider MT. Clark's plan and he1feve it will nroye ponular"

DROWNED IN COLORADO RIVER.


La Plata county friends will be
sorry to learn of the death of Pres
ten Apperson, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Apperson of Oxford, which
occurred March 9, at Lees Ferry,
Ariz.
Preston was in charge of COM
pany prospecting for placer gold,
along the Colorado river, for Charlie
Spencer, the well known promoter.
The accident took place as Preston
and another man were crossing the
river in the ferry boat with a team.
When about half way across the
cable broke and in trying to save the
team from being precipitated into the
river, both Preston and his compan-
ion lost their balance and fell into
the water. The latter swan ashore,
but Preston being unable to swim,
drowned, the remains being recover
ed few days later.
The young man was 80 years of
age, and besides his parents, leaves
FIVE brothers to mourn his loss. The
community will sympathize with the
family in their sorrow.

prosperous merchant of the New Mex

He was member of Flagstaff Lodge

were brought in from Tuba Friday by
Mr.. s. S. Preston and George Roak,

II. Ellis, president of the Fruit Belt
Investment company, returned home
on last nights eastern, after quite an
extended business trip in Kansas and
Missouri and while travelling on the
Katy" at point near Fort Scott,
he was in wreck which might have
easily made the election of a new
officer necessary, but he fortunately
escaped with only few bruises and
cuts. The rear car on the train, which
was a Pullman observation coach,
jumped the track and, after running
a few rail lengths, broke loose from
the train and rolled down the en-
bankment. Several of the passengers
were seriously injured and one, .
woman, died from the effects Of the
injuries inflicted by falling Of broken

REGARDING THE CITY TREAS
URER.

and, as we gave space to the friene
of Mrs. Dave we will cheerfully Civ.
space to the friend of Mr.. La Count
To the Editor,
Durango Evening Herald.
Dear Sir:
AS Republican interested in the
outcome of the coming city election
will say that as you gave space te
letter in behalf of Mrs. Dave, l re
spectfully ask space for the following
remarks regarding Mr.. La Count.
/ think there should be no change
in the city treasurer for the following
reasons:
1. Mr.. La Count has held the office
satisfactorily for a dozen years.
2. Because he is an old soldier.
3. Because he is known to be thor
oughly honest.
a. He is advanced in years, and
his physical condition makes the
treasurer's salary needed assistance
a. his age in life.
5. 1t seems doubtful if a woman
should be elected to office. Their hab-
its and training do not afford them
the opportunity to acquire the bust
ness ability so needful in public af-
fairs.
6. While it is true that Mr.. La
Counts physical condition does not
permit him to give personal attention
to the duties of the office, yet the
interests of the city have never suf-
fered as the business of the office has
been very efficiently conductd by Mr..
Vale of the First National bank.
z. Mr.. La Count has always been
n Republican and is peculiarly entitled
to Republican votes.
