ASK 10000 FOR ROADS
IN MESA VERDE PARK

Secretary Walter L. Fisher of the
department of the interior has asked
congress to make an appropriation Of
s41,615 for improvements, chiefly
good wagon roads, in the Mesa Verde
national park, in southwest Colorado.
This is in line with the federal gov
ernment's "See America First" cam
paign, and as result of the pro-
posed improvements it is believed that
the amount of travel to the popular
Colorado park will be increased ten
fold within three years.
This is $4,000 more than was ap-
propriated for the park last year. OF
the amount s29,5O0 is to be used for
road building. A wagon road, now un-
der construction, will be completed
into the park, making it possible for
the entire journey from Mancos into
the park to be accomplished by wagon.
About six miles of the journey must
now be made on horseback. A consid-
cradle amount will also be used for
constructing roads within the park.
The ruins of cliff dwellers' houses
in this park are among the finest and
best preserved in the country. The
department of the interior is now
seeking to popularize this and other
western scenery by means of an ex-
tensive exhibit of photographs and
paintings, which is being shown in all
the leading cities of the country

NoTHIN' VENTURE NoTHIN' WIN

c. E. Moore has made an offer to
purchase the Pennington light plant.
-Pagosa Springs New Era.
Mr.. Moore owns the electric light
plant at Pagosa Springs. Wouldn't
you naturally suppose that he had
trouble enough? To look at him you
would never set him down as person
who deliberately starts out to hunt
grief. OF course we never owned a
light plant and wouldn't know what
to do with it if we had one, but we've
noticed how thin ]. A. Clay and Matt
Harrington have grown while running
the Durango plant therefore it seems
to mere observer as if Mr.. Moore is
an extremely courageous man to
tackle two light systems at once.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN
VOTE WITH REPUBLICANS

The Democratic congressman in
Washington continue to give out in
terviews on why they supported q
tariff on Colorado ores and metals
when they are supposed to be against
such tariff.
The facts are, that the tariff as has
always been said, is local issue, and
whenever a Democrat is face to face
with the proposition of putting prod
ucts of his own state on the free list,
thus injuring his chances for future
political success, he does just what
Martin, Rucker and Taylor did: right
about-faces and becomes Republic
an. Technical explanations read all
right but the result of their vote had
they been with the majority would
have been good, old-fashioned Repub-
lican proptection on homemade goods.

DENVER WANTS TO KNOW
MORE OF SAN JUAN SECTION

Let Denver be enlightened on the
resources of the San Juan country.
That is slogan that was raised in
the chamber of commerce yesterday
by Edward Keating, president of the
state land board, when he called on
Secretary Thorndyke Deland.
Keating proposed "San Juan
luncheon" when delegates from all
parts of the San Juan would be pres
ent and speak. Secretary Deland was
enthusiastic and said that it would
be held with Heating making the pre-
liminary arrangements.
"The San Juan is an empire in itself
and yet few Denver men have com
prehensive idea regarding the country
and it's resources" said Keating. 81
proposed to Mr.. Deland that we have
this special luncheon and invite men
from all parts of the San Juan to be
present and tell us about the country;
Of its mineral, agricultural, horticui-
tural and stockraising resources and
to tell us what we could do to help
them.
Over there they have an organiza-
ton known as the San Juan congress,
and I would suggest that this organi-
zation have charge of. this luncheon.
These men know whom they want to
speak; they know what they want
talked about and what suggestions
should be made for bringing Denver
and the San Juan into closer rela-
tionship. / have no doubt that we in
Denver can do lot to help them and
| am sure that they can benefit us a
great deal.
"There is no doubt but the next
Cripple Creek will be in the La Plata
mountains where there are now tre-
mendously rich mines like the May
Day and the Idaho; there are marvel
Gus openings for agriculture and hor-
ticulture in the valleys and believe
that if we have these San Juan men
here that they will surprise US in what
they tell us about the San Juan.
Secretary Deland was enthusiastic
over the proposition and l am sure
that the luncheon will be given."-
