SIGHT RESTORED TO EXPLORER

Los ANGELES, Oct. 23.-Friends
of Charles F. Lummis, the well known
explorer and writer, will be pleased
to learn that his sight has been re-
stored, the news coming by his own
hand from the ruins of Amoxiumaua,
N. NJ, where he has been pursuing
archaeological research work for the
Southwest museum of Los Angeles,
with the aid Of his son, Quima, his
daughter and a number Of Indians.
Lummis writes thus:
"Hurrah for the man who first in
vented things to look with-and for
the hand that is giving them to mel
Blindman's-buff is good old game,
but one doesn't want to be always it.
The dark is blessed and tender, and
mother Of rest and dreams. But OH
the glory Of dawnl
For fifteen months l have been in
the dark-which beats the land of the
midnight sun. Not human face. nor
flower, nor any other of Gods pic
lures. Just the other day, l got an
instants glimpse of my daughter and
son, whose faces had missed more
than all the rest"
The blindness of Mr.. Lummis was
the result Of jungle fever, contracted
in Guatemala in 1911, whittier he had
gone as n member of the executive
committee to direct the school Of
American archaeology's expedition
among the wonderful Maya ruins.
With the exception of Quima, the 12-
year-old son, every member of the
party was affected by the fever, and
the boy has led him everywhere during
the period Of his blindness.
Lummis began his explorations of
New Mexico as chief of scouts un-
der General Lawton in the Pache up
rising, twenty-five years ago.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION BILL.

The highway commission bill will
be No. Is on the official ballot. This
measure seeks to enact into law house
bill No. 200 Of the last session which
was killed because of the disappear
ance Of a roll call. 1t continues the
present members Of the highway COM
mission until their time expires as
provided under the present law. 1t
turns the internal improvement fund
and the internal improvement income
fund over to the commission for ex-
penditure upon the roads Of the state.
1t gives the commission discretionary
powers in its expenditure, but the
commission can not, only under limit
ed circumstances, expend any sum in
any county unless the county COM
fhissioners also agree to expend on
their roads double the amount allow
ed them by the commission.
The proposed law seeks to use part
OF the fund to pay salaries and in
cidental expenses Of the commission,
and no doubt this will tie it up in the
federal courts, even IL it is adopted
for the contract which Colorado has
with the federal government Is that
all moneys received from the internal
improvement and internal income fund
shall be used for the construction Of
roads. 1t also seeks to set aside Q
part Of the fund for an equipment
fund, that is, fund with which t.
purchase machinery. This machiner,
can be leased or loaned to various
boards Of county commissioners. Il
leased or loaned the county commits
sioners must keep the same in goo,
repair and all moneys collected from
that source must go into the repnil
fund. The bill also apprepriates /
continuing appropriation Of 325, 90,
out Of the general revenues of tn,
state As part payment Of salaries an,
incidental expenses.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-10-24
EIGHT-HOUR DAY LAW.

The seventeenth proposition which
the Colorado voters must pass upon
is the eight-hour work day for mines
and smelters.
Section one reads as follows:
Employment in all under ground
mines under general workings, open
cut workings, open pit workings, or
directly attending smelling furnaces,
reduction works, stamp mills, concen-
trating mills, chlorination processes,
cyanide processes, and coke ovens
where such employment is continuous
ly in contact with noxious fumes,
gases, or vapors, is hereby declared
to be injurious to health and danger
GUS to life and limb"
The next section prohibits anyone
from working more than an average
or eight hours in every twenty-four
hours during one month, at the work
outlined above.
The penalty section provides a fine
of not less than $3.50 nor more than
$500 or an imprisonment Of not less
than ninety days or more than six
months.

NEW DEPARTMENT OF
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Ever alert to increase the efficiency
of the Durango public library the
board has just taken steps to engage
in a new line of activity which will
greatly increase the service of the in
stitution.
The new department which is GER
tain to furnish entertainment as we'll
as benefit will be in charge Of two
ladies who will devote one hour each
on Saturday afternoons to the work.
The topics to be presented will in a
measure supplement school work but
in no sense duplicate it or in any way
increase the burden of book work.
The department will work in perfect
harmony with the schools, indeed tick
cts of admission will be given az n
reward of merit for scholarship and
department.
Those in charge of the department
realize that Durango children miss
many of the advantages that are the
portion Of the county raised child as
well as to the city bred youth. 1t
will be the aim Of the directors to
supply some of the best things that
one might gain from either location
and also assist those taking the course
In gaining an appreciation of them.
The tickets will be issued in a few
days and fortunate is the child that
secures one for real treat is in
store for him.
In making this departure the board
is following close in the wake of the
large cities who are just awakening
to the fact that libraries represent
wonderful possibilities for general use
fulness in the life of the community
aside from literary standpoint.

WATERMAN FOR SHORT TERM.

Perhaps at no other time in the his
tory of the state have the people had
an opportunity to send to the United
States senate two such able men as
Dawson and Waterman.
The Republicans searched the field
for the best timber in the state and
decided to ask these gentlemen to
make the race for the senate.
Mr.. Waterman will make the race
for the short term. He is one of the
ablest lawyers in the state and is n
brilliant speaker. His position is in
harmony with that of the party that
believes in boosting the industries of
the state and placing Colorado in the
front ranks of the prosperous states
of the country.
You can not send knocker to con-
gress and then expect the state to
prosper In the upper branch of con-
gress the parties are well divided and
it will be a serious mistake to send
pessimists like Shafroth and Thomas
to the senate.
Waterman is making the race
against Thomas for the short term
and every Republican, Progressive,
Socialist and Democrat who loves his
state should vote for Waterman and
thus keep Colorado in the line of pros

When the sultan of Turkey gave
orders for army mobilization he sent
to the czar of Bulgaria sack of
millet with the following letter:
Ferdinand Effendi: Mobilize if you
like, but be assured there are as many
soldiers in Turkey as there are grains
of millet in this sack. Now, if you
wish, declare war"
The czar's reply was in kind. He
sent n very much smaller sack, filled
with tiny grains of the most virulent
red pepper of the country. With it
went the following dedication:
Dear Sultan: The Bulgarians are
not numerous but be assured that to
stick your nose into their affairs is
like sticking it into our national con-
diment. Try it and see. They'll sting
you so sharply that the whole Of Asia

Under the tariff bill introduced in
the last session of congress there was
change in the rate of 20 per cent
which of course would have some eff
feet on the price of sugar. However,
if the above statement could be true,
then one can easily see that change
of the difference suggested would par
alyze every sugar factory in the state.
The situation would be bad enough
without making it any worse by such
figures as given above. The report
published should lead every voter to
vote against such change, but as
matter of fact the publisher is con-
ceding too much against his party
platform, much more than the Re-
publicans are asking him to concede
1t is not the difference in the price
so far as 1t concerns the consumer that
should interest the people. 1t is de
stroying the industry so that sugar
will go away up to the old price it
was before sugar beets were grown.
1t should be remembered that but
three or four states produce sugar
beets. Colorado is the biggest pro-
| ducer. It was the placing of beet
sugar on the market that brought
down the price of cane sugar. The
can sugar producers had monopoly
of the business and it was the intro
duction of the sugar from beets that
brought down the price of sugar gen
orally, so that all could use it.
Certainly the sugar beet business Is

We have been reading about what
Mr.. Ward Darley has said from time

has had a certain part in the sugar
beet controversy and has been quoted
in this county many times as saying
that free sugar would not affect tho
price Of sugar to the consumer. y
is along this line that he has mad
his claims for an independent factor,
