MAP OF THE SAN JUAN.

This office has purchased a map of
the San Juan country made by the
Henderson Engineering company. The
map is up to date and is the best
we have seen. In many respects it
is original. The information and data
used in making the map come from
the United States geological survey,
the national forest reserve depart
ment, the electrical department of the
San Juan Water and Power company,
and from various maps and surveys
together with the surveys of the Hen
derson Engineering company. Much
pains has been taken to have the
map accurate, up to date and useful.
The prominent features of the San
Juan country stand out in bold relief.
The chief towns and cities are shown
in manner that they may be easily
located. 1t will be found useful in
any home or office and particularly
in public places. In fact it has all the
good features of the maps that have
been made of the San Juan country
and many new ones.

if he could be nominated. He shows
evidences of the friendly feeling al
ways existing between him and Roose-
welt, and says that many of the Roose-
veltistas, while recognizing that the
third-term tradition would be candi-
cap, feel that the risk is not so great
that they cannot take it. Il cannot
agree with them in putting this OBJ
lection aside so lightly he continues.
1T has not yet been considered By
the public In that one statement
Mr.. Bryan turns on more illumination
of the situation than efforts at rec
onciling the opposite opinions Of can
didates and their managers could ever
do. When he adds that with a Roose-
welt candidacy the third term would
be the paramount issue, obscuring ev-
erything else, he says in effect that
ii would then be as hard to recon-
cile the opinions of the Roosevelt man
ayers with the opinions of any of the
other managers. In short, Mr.. Bryan
admits that there are some things in
this world wholly irreconcilable.

C. t. WILSON IMPROVING.

Charles T. Wilson of the First Ma
tional bank, who injured hirgelf some
five weeks ago when coming down the
steps at the back of the house WITH
a bucket of coal, is able to be around
on crutches, but is not well enough
to return to work.
The accident resulted in Mr.. Will
sons breaking the fbula bone Of the
leg, at the same time tearing the liga-
ments and spraining his ankle. The
bone is healing nicely, although the
sprain is still painful and the liga-
ments are causing considerable trou-
BILE. Five weeks is long time to be
deprived of the use of limb.

NOT YET A GRADUATE

( With reference to the ability of w.
j. Bryan to predict the outcome of
the national convention and reconcile
the conflicting statements the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says:
"Mr. Bryan has had some expert
| ence as newspaper worker, but he is
not yet a graduate of that college Of
journalism which confers the thirty
third degree; the B. A. may be his,
but the M. A. lies still beyond. In
his first report of Chicago convention
work he set himself the impossible
task of 'reconciling' the conflicting
statements of candidates aud their
| managers. He makes bad JOB Of it.,
of course. No man could do better,
/ but a more seasoned veteran would
not have attempted the task of squar-
| ing circle. The candidates and their
managers always talk in a circle.
Their route is laid out for them. They
follow it. And it always ends where
it begins, the circle completed, with
out an inch of deviation from its pre-
scribed circumference.
"If squaring the circle is hopeless,
"reconciling" the widely variant
claims Of candidates and their mana
gers is not less SO. The interviewer
who could reconcile such claims on the
eve of national convention, or of
an election, might hope to reconcile
the clashing opinions of the princi-
pals and managers of opposing camps
on the eve of a great prize fight.
There is but one thing to expect; a
supreme confidence. Those who ex-
pect this are never disappointed. Those
who expect anything else, always are
| disappointed. While those who hope
to reconcile two supreme condolences,
emanating from two diametrically OPP
,osite points Of view, are something
worse than disappointed-or their
readers will be.
"Mr. Bryan practically admits his
failure as a reconciler of irreconcil-
able things. After setting out a com
| poslte prospectus showing the certain
ty that Taft, Roosevelt, La Toilette
and Cummins all are going to be
nominated, and suggesting his own
dodbt of the possibility of such a re-
suit, he drops reconciliation with the
sage remark: The predictions that
are being made by interested parties
illustrate the old truths that mans
opinion of what is to be is half wish
and half environment Mr. Bryan
| gets on more solid ground in express
ing his own opinion that the Roose-
welt delegates are tremendously un-
derestimating what would be the force
of the anti-third- sentiment in
the country against their candidate,

JOHN CIGALLA PASSES AWAY

Yesterday afternoon, John Cigalla,
an Austrian miner, died in house
located on the west side Of the river,
where he and his wife had been room
ing since their arrival from Farm
in9ton, about two weeks ago. Some
months ago deceased contracted pneu-
n onia which turned into miners con-
sumption. He spent some months in
New Mexico but grew no better, and
his wife decided to return to Tellu-
ride, but the sick man was unable to
go no farther than Durango.
1t was just a matter of waiting for
the end, which came yesterday after
noon. Deceased was 35 years Of age,
ard native of Austria. He had
been resident of Colorado for the
past fifteen years, most of that time
living at Louisville, Colo, and work
ing in the Gilpin county mines
He is survived by his wife and a
brother, who lives in Michigan. The
remains are now at the Goodman un-
dtertaking parlors, awaiting the ar
rival of the latter. The funeral will

WORK OF r. S. PAR
SONS is APPRECIATED

In a recent letter TO a Durango
friend, T. S. Parsons, formerly prin-
cipal of the Durango high school, and
now in charge of the agricultural de
partment of the University of Wyom-
ing, at Laramie, writes that he still
likes his work as much as ever.
He is very enthusiastic over the
growth of the work in his department,
which has been very successful the
past year. At the annual meeting of
the directors Of the institution, Mr..
Parsons was granted raise in salary
of 5000 per year, beginning July /,
1912, with six weeks leave of absence
on full pay, in addition to railroad
fare. An assistant was also appointed
for that department, and a fine ap-

A PROTEST.
Durango, Colo, June 20, 1912.

Durango, Colo, June 20, 1912.
To the Editor of The Herald.
AS one born in Italy and proud Of
the country of my birth, yet still
prouder of the fact that / am an
American citizen, | want to protest
against the use of the term "Dago"
as applied to my countrymen.
We Italians regard it as term of
contempt and resent its use in any
connection with Italy or Italians. The
United States does not contain a
more law-abiding, patriotic or self-re-
specting element than the Italians.
This is our home; here our children
are born and educated; and here we
expect to live, always loyal to and
supporting the principles of this great
and beneficent country.
1t angers and humiliates US in whose
veins flow the blood of men who once
ruled the world, to be designated in
this contemptuous manner.
The origin of the term lies in the
ignorance of a certain class of Eng
disappearing people in applying it
to all the nations of southern Europe,
and especially to Italians, when as a
matter of fact it was originally used
in connection with the Portuguese,
whose patron saint is St. Diego, and
whose name corrupted gave rise to the
name: "Dago."
We feel that when decent people
realize our feelings in this matter
their innate sense Of justice will cause
them to refrain from the use of the
term "Dago" and all other odious ap-
pellations which serve to distinguish
US in any other way than as Ameri-
can citizens and which in any manner
reflects on the various lands of the
birth and origin Of our somewhat COM
plex citizenship, who today consti-
tute the body of the people of the
greatest republic in the world.
We Italians know what 1t is to be
good citizens, for the greatest boast
the world has ever known is: Roman
us Civis Sum- am Roman citi-
zen, is theirs by birthright.
This is in protest Mr.. Editor against
the heading: "Turk-Dago War" in
the Democrat, isue Of June 20, 1912,
in reference TO some incident Of the
Italo-Turkish war.
Respectfully,
AGOSTINO TRAMONTINO,
for himself and in behalf Of the Ital-
ians Of In Plata County, Colorado.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 21.-
The convention which opens at Bal
timore next Tuesday will be the twen-
ty-frst national assemblage of the
Democratic party, while the one now
in session in Chicago is only the
fifteenth Republican national gather
ing. But the Democratic party sur
passes the Republican in age much
more than this difference would indi-
cate. Born in the bank controversy
Of 1871, christened by jefferson, its
founder, in 1892, and strengthened in
the division among the people which
Washington's neutrality proclamation
at the beginning of the Anglo French
war in 1898 caused, the Democratic
party passed its centennial mark more
than a decade ago.
But the history of the party's con-
ventions dates back only to 1882, in
which year the national delegate CON
vention method of nominating candi-
dates for president and vice president
was adopted. The first national Dem
ocratic convention was held on May
II, 1882, at Baltimore, and adopted
two rules which have guided the ac-
tions of all subsequent conventions.
One of these provided that the dele
gates when so instructed, should cast
the votes of their states as d unit,
and the other that no candidate
should be nominated without a two
thirds majority. Andrew Jackson was
nominated for president and Martin
Van Buren for vice president They
were elected.

ONLY FOURTEEN INCHES
OF SNOW ON JUNE is

DR.. Dowdey was returning pas
senger on the Silverton train last,
from a visit of several days to his
mining property in Maggie gulch.
While it sounds almost incredible, the
doctor says that fourteen inches of
snow fell in the gulch on June 1S.
We have always contended that this
is the greatest country on earth and
the above is part of the evidence. No!
there is nothing small about us. Even
our floods and snow blockades are on
a large scale, which some people
think is stretching the point trifle
too far.
That being a place where there
seems nothing to say, we don't say it.

A very interesting meeting Of men,
bers, along with directors, was held
at the board of trade rooms last even

Davis, Graden, Pickerill, Adams and
Eldredge, and j. C. Herr, John and
George Gilbert, A. r. Springer, Fred
Schrader and others Interested In min
ing. The meeting was called to or
der by DR.. Davis who stated the OBJ
ject was to listen to the report of the
mining committee and also the COM
mittee appointed by the fair directory
regarding the county funds for ad-
vertising purposes. Mr.. Springer ask
ed for committee from the board of
trade to wait on the county commits
sioners to agree on the disposition of
the fund. In order to show the urgent
needs of the board of trade in caring
for various industries of the county
DR. Davis asked Mr.. Springer and Mr..
Gilbert to remain and lister TO the
report of Mr.. Herr. Mr.. Herr said the
proposition was to secure fine dis
play of the minerals of La Plata coun-
ty and have them on exhibition at
some prominent place in Denver, pref
erably the ID. & r. G.. ticket ofnce.
with man in charge for at least
three months who will do nothing else

object of this movement is to let the
world know what the La Platas are
doing in a mining way. lie toli Of the
benefits derived by the city of Du-
range from mining and increased ac-
tlvity means much to our people. 1t
will stimulate every other Industry.
Others present thought it time some
attention is given to the mining H.
terests. Mr.. Gilbert said he heartily
favored some action. All of the di-
rectors present were of the same opin-
ion. Director Adams then moved that
the board of trade set aside $500 to
be turned over to the mining COM
mttee to be used in displaying the
mineral wealth in Denver, conditioned
that the committee raise 5000 from
the mining or other interests to be
added to the fund, Mr. Herr having
previously suggested that the board
appropriate $3.50 and he would under
take to raise an equal amount AIr.
Herr said he would give $50. The mo-
ton of Mr.. Adams was seconded by
Messrs. Pickerill and Graden and car
ried unanimously.
On motion the mining COMMITTEES
was revised, DIR. Davis appointing J.
c. Herr chairman and adding to the
committee Directors Pickerill and
Adams, the other members being +
G. Gilbert, w. A. Stewart, George OIL
bert, and Dan MacLean.
The fund of $500 is to be under the
control of the above gentlemen to be
used as thought best in exhibiting the
mineral resources of the county. Mr..
Herr says he is confident Of securing
the tnest and ri :hest display of min
eral specimens, all from the La Plata
district, ever exhibited in Denver MIR.
Herr will at once raise the $500 nee
essary, or rather $3.50 remaining, Mr..

he would take him back to the re-
formatory.
He admitted that he had written a
letter to Charles Carter.
He denieo that the officers got him
drunk but said that he was drinking
some.
When asked if he did not tell his
cell mate while in Jail in Durango that
what he had said about the Trubys
was lie, he denied it.
He said that he might have told
Rhoades, Paulsen and Thomas that he
might kill Cox, but did not remember
that he had and did not think that
he did.
He was asked great many ques-
tions and apparently made conflicting
statements as to details, but nothing
that had any particular bearing on
his direct testimony.
DR.. Oschner was placed on the wit
ness stand after the cross-examination
of Ripple and his testimony was that
he had taken two bullets from the
body of Cox after he had been re-
moved to the hospital
Harry jackson was placed on the
stand to show that the Trubys had
purchased revolvers shortly before
Cox was shot He testified that a
certain slip had been lost which had
bearing on the TRULY account at
the jackson store, and in connection
with the matter stated that his ac-
counts were more or less private prop
erty, and did not concern the affairs
of others.
With reference to the lost slip Miss
Margaret Jackson and w. L. Berk-
heimer, employees at the Jackson store,
testified that it was in connection with
the sale of box of cartridges, but
she could not remember the particu-
lars about it.
Ike Cox testified as to where he was
when the shooting took place and all
the circumstances connected with the
shooting and of the actions and where
abouts of Undersheriff Sease. His
testimony was in a measure the same
as that of Ripple as to the shooting.
William Sease gave testimony bear
ing out the statements OF Cox and
admitted that he had a conversation
with Henry TRULY in Silverton but
denied of having accused John Waters
of being the leader in the prosecu-
ton.

BALTIMORE, June 21-The COM
mittee of arrangements of the ma
tional committee by vote of 8 out
of 10 selected Alton B. Parker of New
York for the temporary chairman of
the national convention. If the full
committee should concur on Monday,
Parker will be temporary chairman of
the convention. This was largely done
through the willingness of the sub
committee to oblige Chairman Mack
by the selection of New York man.
Chairman Mack insists his wishes
which have prevailed in the matter
were governed by only two simple CON
siderations. First, that the temporary
presiding officer of this memorable
Democratic convention should be one
who has received the highest express
sion of the party's consideration as
nominee for the presidency Since
the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan's name
had developed such wide spread and
violent opposition Judge Parker was
naturally the next man to be consid-
cred.
