The first real test Of the reIa-

BOARD ADOPTS SCHED-
ULE OF WAGES
Salaries of Teachers to be
Graded According to
Length of Service

The school board last evening
took a new departure in the re-
gulation of teachers salaries
by adopting a graduated sched-
die based upon length of service up
to three years. The change will
mean an annual increase the
second year OF $3.50 and the third
year of twice that amount Vi 1920
provided all the teachers continue
in service for three years. High
school teachers and the principal of
the Lincoln school will receive an
increase of So per month the Sc
cond year and an additional in
crease of IS per month the third
ear. The increase for grade teach
ers the second year is $3.50 and
the third year another $3.50.
This action was deemed ad-
yisable by the board in order to
offer an incentive to first-class
teachers TO remain. The graduated
wage scale has been in effect for
several years in neighboring towns.
The schedule as adopted and the
present wages is given below:
High Principal, first yealI
800, second year $95, third year
s1O0. Present wage s1O5. Assist
ants, first year $50, second year
sSj, third year $50. Present wage
sS5 and $50.

First-year schedule to apply to
all teachers entering upon first
or second years work; Sc

teachers entering upon third years
work. The board reserves the right
to exceed the schedule for special
reasons.

ONE ROAD OR THE OTHER

Denver business men should exert
themselves to induce the Denver g.
Rio Grande to broad-gauge its track
to the San Juan. This city is inter-
ested in whatever will promote the
development of that part of the state,
and it is almost as much concerned
as Durango itself in making this
highway Of communication as effec-
tive and as fully up to the demands of
traffic as possible.
In the basin of the San Juan river
there is estimated to be a million
acres of land which may be irrigated; I;
and estimates, also, indicate that there
is run-off Of water available for
irrigation amounting to three million
acre feet. If these estimates are cor
rect, there is great future awaiting
the agriculture of the region of which
Durango is the center.
The vast coal resources also should
be considered; for in course Of time
they will be developed. They may not
possess today the value indicated by
some of the extravagant estimates OF
agents of the department of the m
terror; but some day that coal will
be sent to market. Its production will
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-04-04

provide work for many men, and its
transportation will make heavy traf-
fic.
All this in addition to the traffic
and business growing out of the met
aliferous mining extensively carried
on in the San Juan country, large
part of which contributes to the com
merce and the industries of Durango.
These sources of wealth point to
material development which will re-
quire better transportation facilities
than any narrow-gauge railroad can
supply. To refuse to provide them
would be to condemn the Durango
country to a restricted growth. The
people will, however, submit to no
such fate. They will find an outlet
to the south through connection with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at
Gallup. The trade and traffic will
then go away from Denver; and the
Denver & Rio Grande will have to
provide adequate means of transpor-
tation or, in effect, ebandon the coun-
try to its rival. 1t would much bet
ter build a broad gauge track now and
possibly keep its rival out.-Denver
