SCHRADER- WINTERS

For some weeks rumors of the ap-
preaching marriage of two of Du-
rango's business people have been
floating around, but no one, even the
most intimate friends of the two con-
cerned, seemed to know anything def
mite. In fact, the prospective bride
and groom both insisted that the date
was not yet settled. Consequently
when it was learned yesterday morn
ing that the wedding of Harrv Sch "a
der, proprietor of the Star Bakery, and
Miss Frances " Winter, the artistic
miliner had taken place the night be-
fore, the news came as general but
pleasant surprise to their many
friends.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at the NJ. T.. parsonage, in
the presence of few friends, Rev.
G. F. Rassweiler officiating. 1t was
very quiet event, due partly to the
preference Of the couple most con-
cerned. and also to the hurried nature
of the preparations. 1t was not until
sometime on Saturday that it was de-
cided to have the wedding that night.
Promptly at ten o'clock the guests
assembled, the list comprising Mrs.
j. A. Pulliam, Mr.. and Mrs. John Will
mer, Mr.. Fred Schrader, Miss Mabel
Green, Arthur Pulliam and Mrs. Geo.
B. Munson. The bride looked very
attractive in a handsome tailored suit
of black and white, with hat to match,
the groom wearing the conventional
black.
After the ceremony, congratulations
were in order and the bridal party
repaired to the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. A. Pulliam at 1880 Third Ave.
where a dainty wedding supper was
served. Later Mr.. and Mrs. Schrader
went directly to their own home, which
is temporarily at 1921 Main Avenue,
until their handsome residence at
Brookside can be prepared for their
occupancy.
Since both Mr.. and Mrs. Schrader
have been residents of this city for
some years, both being very successful
in their business operations, we have
learned to look upon the latter as well
as her husband, as belonging 10 Duran
go. In fact, while Mrs. Schrader is of
southern descent, coming from an old
family whose ancestors lived for gen
erations in Mississippi, which is her
native state, she has become so asso-
ciated with the life of the town
through her millinery business, to
which she has devoted her best energy
and talent, that Durango claims her
as citizen. 1t is as one of our
own people that The Herald joins the
rest Of her friends In congratulations
and best wishes. As for Mr.. Schra-
der. he has been part of the life Of
Durango for so long it hardly seems
possible that he ever lived elsewhere

AN OCCASION NOT TO BE NEG
LECTED.

Pueblo owes it to President Benja-
min F. Bush of the Missouri Pacific
to give him, socially, the best time it
can possibly give him on the occa-
sion of his visit here Saturday.
But Pueblo has another and more
important duty to perform than the
social duty. For years Pueblo has
been seeking to secure from the Gould
lines fair treatment. Previous ad-
ministrations have all refused or neg
elected to remove the determinations
against Pueblo in favor of Denver.
But President Bush belongs to the
new order of railroad men. He is
one of those who believes in playing
no favorites, but in SO administering
the road as TO permit Of the fullest
development Of every section tributary
to it.
Pueblo, therefore, will be derelict
in its duty If it does not call to Mr..
Bush's attention Saturday the things
Pueblo wants. They are as follows:
The location here of the joint shops
of the Missouri Pacific-Denver g. Rio
Grande system. Pueblo is the logical
point for these shops. 1t is at the
junction Of the two roads. The steel
needed for repairs is made here. Both
time and money would be saved to the
road by locating the shops here.
The same differential to points in
Pueblo territory west of Alamosa on
second, third, fourth and fifth class
freight that Pueblo now rightly en-
joys on first class and less than fifth
class freight. The railroads admitted
the justice, Of Pueblo's contention
when first class rates were reduced.
A day passenger service into the
San Luis valley and into western Colo
RADIO.
The standardizing of the Marshall
pass line from Salida to Montrose, and
of the southern Colorado division from
Alamosa to Durango.
Pueblo's destiny cannot be fully
realized until these demands are
granted. 1t has been almost a year
now since President Bush was elect
ed and though Pueblo has been prom
ised many things, nothing has been
realized from all these premises. In
stead the office of the general super
intendent has been removed to Denver
1t may be many months before Pue-
bio again has an opportunity to pre-
sent her demands to President Bush.
By all means, therefore, he should be
apprised Of just what Pueblo wants
and Of what Pueblo intends, eventual
ly, to get.
All Pueblo asks is justice. and this
man of President Bush's sense Of
fairness ought TO t>> wiling to grant.
