THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The Mexicans want their rights,
which is proper, but there is sus-
picion that some of them want good
zeal more than that. But, so fat az
the common country is concerned, they
should remember that they can lave
nc more Important right than pea =
fully working fol living and an az
tcmobile and other little necessities or
luxuries. That is, the country has Il
right to prosper, having natural re
Eources on which prosperity is bu.i..
iiut no country can prosper on war.
That was what made Diaz's admin
istration SUCCESS for years. Dolht-
less it was mailed fist success; to a
great extent a one-man government,
which is wrong. But it is no more
wrong than continual war is wrong,
and not nearly so damaging to the
average citizen. Wherefore, and con-
.iderjng the warlike Mexican disposi-
tion, even Madero's victory may prove
a mistake, and If it does not, will he
not have to do much as Diaz did wren
Dian was in his zenith?

DISEASE OF HONEY BEES.

The United States department of
agriculture calls attention to the fact
that American foul blood has been
found TO exist in La Plata county. The
department has no means of knowing
how long the disease has existed in
the region, but desires to notify bee
keepers of the trouble and to suggest
that, if not already informed concern
ing the disease, they inform them
selves at once. Very frequently col
onies of bees are destroyed by dis
case and the loss is attributed by the
bee keeper to some other cause. Farm
ers' bulletin No. 442, The Treatment
Of Bee Diseases, gives description of
the brood diseases and methods of
treatment. 1t will be sent free on re-
quest to the secretary pf agriculture,
Washington, d. C.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the brood diseases do not at all
injure honey for human consumption,
so that there need be no fear on the
part of purchasers of honey.

RATES
GO HIGHER
INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES
ON COLORADO ORE SHIP
PED OUT OF STATE

Western Press.
DENVER, Feb. 1O.-Ore shippers in
Colorado will have to pay an increase
of 80 cents per ton in freight on all
Colorado ores shipped to Kansas and
Oklahoma.
This ruling made by the interstate
commerce commission after having
considered an appeal by the shippers
which was oceasioned by notification
from the railroads that the freight
rates would be increased that amount
beginning on Feb. 5. The commission
evidently believed the increase equit-
able, for 1t did not call hearing.
1t is said that the zinc producers
will be affected more than any other
class of shippers, since most of that
ore mined in Colorado is shipped to
Kansas and Oklahoma for treatment.

THE CREAMERY PROPOSITION

1t is generally understood and
agreed that a creamery would be a
good thing for Durango, and many at
tempts have been made to get one
established here. At different times
different individuals have made the
attempt and the board of trade has
made several attempts, but SO far
nothing has been accomplished.
The latest attempt was made by
Mr.. Burritt S. Allen Yesterday he
drew up a contract which he thought
the farmers would sign, but when
it was presented to them by the Sec
retary Of the board Of trade not q
single farmer could be found who
would sign 1t. 1t seems that the farm
ers do not yet see what great ad-
vantage creamery would be to them,
as we'll as to Durango, and now many
members of the board of trade are of
the opinion that it will not be possible
to get creamery here, until the
farmers take more interest in it, and
there is little likelihood that they
will take the required interest until
they are educated along creamery
lines.
