WILL NOW BOOST
FOR SCHOOL FAIR
Committee From Boost Club
Is Appointed to Solicit The
Funds and Prizes.

The Booster Club held an in
teresting meeting on Friday eve
ming last. There were lot of
questions coming up for attention,
and some of these received prop
er notice. One Of the chief mat
ters of discussion was the coming
school fair for Morrow county,
and the steps to get this under
headway were taken by the ap-
pointment of a committee to So
licit funds and prizes. M. d.
Clark and Vawter Crawford were
appointed for Heppner, w. G.
Scott, Lexington, Paul G. Balsig-
er, lone, and Prof. Allen, Hard
man. This committee is to get
busy at once and parties named
for the different towns will look
after their own localities. 1t is de-
sired to get the initial work done
\ at once, the prizes arranged just
as soon as possible, so that a date
can be set on which to hold the
fair. This date should be announ-
ced by the coming week and it
Should be just as early as possible
for we are late as it is. Supt.
| NotSon will attend to his end Of
the program and we hope to see
united and concerted action in
TIE pushing of this enterprise. 1t
will necessarily be q small affair
this year but a start has to be
snade, and this lis the right year
to make it. The question of
moving the depot up town has
long been discussed by our citiz-
ems but no real definite action TAX
en-. At the meeting on Friday
evening u committee consisting
of Frank Gillian, T. J. Mahoney
and E c. Ma9dock was aWpoint-
ed to take up this matter with
the railroad people. 1t is believed
that persistent action at this time
viii tnTrtg results as theaeis some
quite extensive changes to be-
made mt THE present d<pot site,
new tE'ackage to be laid and other
improvements made A good time
to strike while the iron rs hot.
AS a little matter of ,advertiS-
ing Morrow county dry land prD-
duce, the Club purchased from
&c. A Miner IL sacks eff potatoes
to be shipped to the Portland Com
meIe1Ial ,CAhb. The Portland club
feeds a large number of people
every day and it consumes iE SO
doing aiESut a dozen sacks of
spETRsa day. These MSrrow cU1n-
ty potatoes are to be labelled and
served to the guests of the club
and advertised as dry Hand pro-
ducEiOn. They are raised without
irrigation on the hills GfttheN6nor
ranch, and this form of advertis-
ing IS certainly effective. Other
minor subjects also claimed the
attentiUnof the meeting and it is
now hoped that the Booster Club
will hold its regular meetings,
get thoroughly organized for
effective work and do some syste-
matte boCsting for many improve
men:s needed in the county, and
in Hepprlsr in particular.

The mining interests Of La Plata
county are not given the attention
they deserve by the newspapers or
the business men of Durango. This
is not only the case at the present
time but has been so for the past
twenty years. Our people have no
idea of the benefits derived from work
going on in the La Platas. Neither
do they stop to consider that the pro-
duction of over half a million dollars
in gold last year had much to do
with the prosperity of Durango. 1t
should be borne in mind that the half
million came from mines we hear very
little about. The famous Idaho and
May Day properties were closed down
NOT pound of ore, and all the work
on the Orc Fino-formerly the Neg
lected-was development, the ore
bodies being reserved, the ore taken
out stored. And still with the three
big mines of the district out of COM
mission the La Platas produced over
half million dollars in gold. The
district is recognized as one of the
best in the state, but here in Durango
we seldom hear the mines discussed,
and, as before stated, the papers have
very little to say about the vast wealth
stored almost within stones throw
of our city. Take away the min
ing interests and our people would
notice big difference at once.

COLLIDES WITH ICEBERG BUT
WIRELESS BRINGS AID AND
SAVES ALL ON BOARD

Western Press
NEW YORK, April 15.-The White
Star liner Titanic, the largest steamer
afloat, collided with a huge iceberg
1900 miles east of New York last
night while on her maiden voyage to
America. Close to 1900 passengers
and the crew for hours were in i'm
minent danger of going to the bot
tom as the great vessels bow began
to sink
Wireless calls, sent in every direc-
tion, brought relief this morning and
the steamship Carpathia is standing
by now. The transfer of passengers
is under way and twenty boatloads al
ready have been taken aboard the Car
pathia. Other vessels are under full
steam for the scene of the collision.
The later advices from Montreal say
that all passengers are safe and that
the Titanic has been taken in tow by
the Virginian.
Among the notable passengers res
cued by the Carpathia are Colonel
John Jacob Astor and wife, Major Ar
chibald Butt, aide to President Taft,
Bcnjamin Guggenheim, A. G. Wander
bilt, Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Douglas, Nor
man C. Craft, M. p, and j. Bruce Is
may, manager and director of the
White Star lines.
The steamship men here today char
acterized the disaster as "the most
startling news which has come in from
the sea since the advent of the wire
less telegraph"
The FIRST heard of the accident was
about l o'clock this morning, when a
bulletin from Montreal stated that the
Allan line Offices there had received
wireless from Captain Gambell of the
steamer virginian, stating the Titanic
was calling for assistance after the
collision with an iceberg. The Vir-
ginian's captain added that he headed
his boat for the Titanic, whose posi-
ton is $50 miles south of Cape Race,
Newfoundland.
Immediate inquiry in an urgent dis
patch to the Marconi station at Cape
Race was answered soon afterwards
in the following words:
"At 1925 last night the steamer Ii
tanic called C. Q. D., reported having
struck an iceberg. The steamer said
that immediate assistance was requir-
ed. Half an hour afterwards an
other message came, reporting the
sinking Of the ship, and that the wom-
en- were being put off in the life boats.

SCHOOL
QUESTION TO BE SETTLED

An action of local interest was re-
Gently instituted in the district court
Of this county, between school dis
trict No. 9 and school district No.
Of La Plata county, the former
being the local school district, while
the latter is the Animas City school
district.
1t seems that an amendment TO the
school law of this state added in 1899,
provided as follows:
"That, whenever any pupil. outside
of high school district, desires to
attend high school within the coun-
ty where such pupil resides, and such
pupil shall possess the necessary quail
ifications for admittance thereto, the
necessary tuition fees charged for the
attendance of such pupil by said high
school, shall be paid by the school
district in which such pupil resides,
not exceeding $2.50 per month"
1t also seems that the. Animas City
school has given, or has offered to
give, instruction in the first year high
school work in its home school; but
certain pupils residing in its district
have, nevertheless, attended the high
school in Durango, some of them re-
ceiving instruction that might have
been obtained in their home school.
The Durango school district has rem
dered the Animas City district bills
for the tuition of these pupils; but
the Animas City district disclaims any
liability upon the ground that the in
struction could have been obtained at
home; and, as before stated, suit has
been commenced by the local school
district to enforce payment.
We are Informed that other school
districts of this state are confronted
with the same question and interested
to know what construction should be
given to this amendment.
Judge Pike will probably soon have
the opportunity to pass upon the ques-
ton, whether the statute shall be lit
orally construed or whether a modi-
fication should be read into the stat
ute making an exception in such cases
as this.
Smith and Austin are the attorneys
for the Durango school district, while
]. A. Pulliam is looking after the in
terests of the Animas City school.

Moines, Cedar Rapids, Galveston and

the real work of framing charter

quotations ranging from $3.50 to $4.50
per hundred pounds. 1t is almost pro-
hibitive. Four acres of spuds means
an outlay of 500 to the farmer and
it also means curtnilment of the num-
