NEW YORK, April 23.-The gov
ernment officials are making a care
full inspection of the life saving equip
ment of the ferry boats in use in New
York City and it is expected that
several accommodations will be made
One of the first boats subjected TO
inspection was the city owned ferry
Manhattan which plies between the
Battery and Staten island. 1t was
found that aboard were carried only
400 life preservers, although dur
ing the rush hours it often has three
to four thousand passengers. An or
der was at once issued for the in
stallation of $50 additional preserv-
ers. These ferry boats carry only
four small life boats and some rec
ommendation as to this equipment is
expected.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE SAN JUAN

Colonel Condit received word that
the sale of the entire issue of the
stock of the Gold Mining company
had been provided for in Germany
and he left here on Tuesday for Paris
France, to meet the parties and sigr
certain papers, expecting to return in
about thirty days with good sized
"wad" in his pockets.
This means that Colonel Condit will
be able to push work vigorously or
three or four of that company's prop
critics, until they are on a paying
basis. We are glad to hear the goof
news as it means greater activity ant
more shipping mines for this camp
The colonel is slayer and certainly
deserves success.
The above item from the Silvertor
Miner is of interest in connection with
the fact that e. c. Condit is vel
known in Durango and passed through
Durango last week on his way east
Mr.. Condit is a distant relative of Mrs
W. s. Crozier, whose name was Con
dit before her marriage.

big majority of the delegates to the
national convention. The Roosevelt
forces feel that they have an even
break with Taft. In the event that
there is an equal division of the two
delegates no doubt the Republicans in
the interest of harmony may decide
To take up some other person as their
standard bearer. While the Repub-
leans can easily win with any good
man it is probable that Ex-Governor
Hughes of New York will be the man
selected if he will accept. He comes
from the greatest and most doubtful
state politically. He is progressive
and vet not radical. AS governor of
New York he was eminently success
full and as a reward for unusual abil-
ity President Taft appointed him
member of the United States supreme
court. Hughes has expressed hfmelf
as being perfectly satisfied with his
work on the supreme bench, but it
is generally believed that he would
accept the nomination for president il
the great Republican party would in
sist on it. The Herald is for Taft,
but will be for whoever the Repub-
licans name at Chicago, rememberin
that the party is greater than the
man.

Now comes Governor Harmon and
denies the charges of the friends of
Clark and Wilson that he, Harmon. is
reactionary. Governor Harmon In
every respect, save conservatism. is
he logical candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for president. He
is popular Democrat, elected gov
ernor twice in Republican strong
hold which has furnished more presi
dents than any other state. 1t is most
likely that the Republican nominee
will come from the great state OF
Ohio. Harmon does not stand SO well
west of the Mississippi as would Clark
or Wilson, but east of the Mississippi
he is the strongest man that the Dem
ocrats could name. There is but lit
tic chance for him to win the nonli-
nation as he does not come up to tie
ideals of w. J. Bryan, who will have
something to say when the Democrats
meet at Baltimore. Bryan and his
mighty hosts will support either Clark
or Wilson, but how about Tammai,y :?
There is the rub. If any one has
made guess he no doubt will have
an opportunity to guess again.

leave Sunday morning, but for some
reason not known to her he had
changed his mind. She noticed that
he was confused about something but
gave the matter no particular atten-
ton. He gave her the $12.50 check
late Saturday evening. He took his
meals there Sunday and paid for them
in cash. As he had always been
prompt in payment she thought moth
ing about the matter until an attorney
called her up over the phone and
informed her that Neiendorff had is
sued checks without money in the
bank to redeem them.
He undertook to convey the idea
that he has going to Telluride, but
as matter of fact he bought a ticket
for Alamosa. Conductor w. S. Peel
was notified and reported that mar
of the description was aboard, but
somehow he disappeared from the
train before it reached Alamosa, but
Mr.. Peel was unable to determine
where he got off. 1t is claimed that
he got off at Romeo or La lara where
the passenger makes short stops.
Later reports are to the effect that
probably the man identified by Con
ductor Peel as Neiendorff was trav-
elling man, Mr.. Potter, which report
leaves the officers as yet in the dark
as to how far on the way to Ala
al l. - kaf k.
got off the train. 1t is safe to con-
clude that in due course of time he
will be located and brought back to
Durango for trial.
Mr.. Neiendorff was a peculiar man
and did not add to the pleasure OF
the dozen or more ladies and gentle
men who take their meals at the
Bradford residence, but with all that
he was not regarded as dishonest,
but evidently if the reports are true
he was hiding out tools, etc, from
the Malone Iron Works. 1t is re
ported that he was more or less dis
agreeable with those with whom he
had business. At one time he had
been made foreman or manager of
the plant, but was holding no official
position at the time of settlement,

state of Illinois next fall. The Hearst
Harrison followers are opposed by the
Sullivan crowd. At their recent con.
