 Woman is another subject of much solicitude in Japan at the present time, and her status in the home and in the eyes of the law is commanding much attention. Indicative of the peculiar relations she maintains, it may be stated that while the law permits her to read the newspapers which print political news. she is prosecuted If she attends q political meeting, or attempts to obtain hearing. The question or her emancipation is rapidly becoming a national issue with the reactionaries lecrying any move that will tend to a difference of poiniOn between man and wife. as conducive to the disinte- grafton of the famjly-the political unit of the country.
 Other disquieting influences are at work within the empire, not the least of which is the question of finance. With an annual fixed interest charge 1 of S2.717. 900 yen, or $41, 1,358,5O0. upon i an outstanding foreign debt of 1,83o'- ! 019,O0O zen, difficulty is being eNper- l fenced in meeting the same in view of the unfavorable trade conditions. The rate of interest on the combined pub l lie and private debt is a little more than four and a half per cent. This
 debt represents per capita charge oi something over $50, as compared with
 q Der capita debt of S10S3, as reported
 for the last fiscal year in this country 1 While in this country the annual in terest charge upon this money is only 23 cents ger capita. in Japan it amounts
 to abOu. so cents per capita.
 This sum being altogether too large for domestic commerce to provide for
 Japan must depend upon her foreigr trade to meet her obligations. In 1908 1909 the total revenues of the govern ment amounted to 476,0O0,O00 yen, witt ordinary expenses of 427 100000 yen
 showing an apparent surplus of 49,

gested an arbitration of the differ
ences between Colorado and the fed
eral government concerning the wa

that the action proposed in his let

that it was possible an agreement

COAL LANDS RESTORED.

1t has been the custom OF the nd
ministration in recent years to with
draw from entry the coal lands
Of the United States. The govern
ment claims that spectators have
in the past taken up coal lands
and that the government has been
aefruuded thereby. 1t has undertake
on in some instances to have the land
restored Recently 1t has taken
much of the public lands and placed
them under the coal lands which
were withdrawn from entry.
The government has received much
claimed that this has retarded the
development of many sections In the
west. The contest between the gov
ernment and the citizens has been
bitter in some instances but 1t Is
pleasing to the west know that the
government has taken up the matter
carefully and, it Is deemed ad-
visable upon the reports Of govern
ment officers, much of the coal land
reserved is being returned to en-
try.
On the 2sth inst, President Taft
ordered restored to entry 751 ,691
acres. This land lies in Jackson and
Montezuma counties. This will be
agreeable to the people Of southwest
ern Colorado where the country Is
being rapidly settled up.

boom all over the United States i'm
mediately after the presidential cleo
ton is over, but the unusually favor
able conditions in Colorado have
started the boom little early and
ours is beginning now.
The reason is plain. Pardon us for
saying it, but we have got the dog
gondest best crop this year ever
raised in or by a western state, and
the estimate up to now shows that
this year we will produce in agri-
cultural products over $3.50 per cap
ia for every man, woman and child
in the state. This would mean ST.,
500 for the average family of six.
And really, no other state in the un-
ion can show such wonderful re-
turn as this.
And don't forget, we have the real
stuff this year and there is a mar
ket for every dollars worth Of our
products, at better prices than we
ever realized.
Now, confidentially, last year we
raised mighty little, but this year
everything has outdone itself. The
season has been the most perfect we
have ever known. Rains fell just at
the right time there was plenty Of
water in the bitches and these hot,
dry August days were made to Or
der to mature the crops and put the
sweetness and color in the fruits and
vegetables and grains.
And so, good friends, let US rejoice
let us congratulate each other, and
let us smile with all the world at
this bounty the great Master has
given us. And let us stop, If only
1or a moment, our fighting and
auarrelng and politicking and con-
template with thankfulless the great
wealth and blessings that have come
to Colorado this year.
And we have never been in the
predicting or phophesying BUSINESS
but takes great pleasure in asking
YOU to remember that it goes ON rec
ord here and now as promising you
period of the greatest growth and
development ever known in the his
tory of this great state Of ours.
Then heres three cheers and IT,
ger for Colorado, that raises bigger
and better crops, that returns more
in wealth per capita to its popula-
ton than any other state ever did, in
any season, in the history Of the
United States.
And this is the good news that the

DEATH OF CLARA HABERMAN

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Haberman,
Misses Caroline and Louis passed
through Durango from Rico on thier
way to Boulder. One week ago
they went to Rico with the remains
of their daughter and sister, Clara,
who passed away in Boulder Aug.
II.
Miss Clara attended school in Du-
range in 1905 and 1906. She was q
bright, merry and exceedingly COM
panionable girl who had hosts Of
friends. Life was So much to her
and she enjoyed it to the utmost.
A couple of years ago she grad
uated from the Boulder prepatory
school and the following year she en-
tered the university. She was a fine
student and made a wonderful rec
ord in her work. All went well until
last February when she suffered o
nervous breakdown. Since she has
not been able to carry on her stu
dies but she appeared to be regain
ing her health until a week before
her death when menegitis developed
and all that medical skill could do
proved Of no benefit.
Rico was her birthplace and early
girlhood home and it seemed only
fitting that her remains be taken
there for their final resting place.
Those who had beel her most init
mate friends had part in the last
services. Twenty girls clad in pure
white escorted the funeral cortene
from the house to the cemetery The
comforting address was delivered by
an old lady friend The music was
rendered by a choir composed of
those who had known and loved her
M that friends could do to light
en- the burden of sorrow which was
the portion of those left behind
was done. Reluctantly the family
departed for Boulder where they are
now located and where the vacant
chair in the househld will be a part
of their home coming almost impos
sible for them to meet.

PARfS OF THE EARTH.

DENVER, Aug. 3O.-Repudiating
his alleged Cheyenne confession in
which he named Albert Yoder as the
man who killed John Zabranski, the
aged Brighton jeweler, Jacob II.
Sherley made a detailed statement
to Deputy Chief of Police Leyden
and Sheriff Herman Schloo of Adam
comfy last night in which he lays
the crime on Jeremiah lMireovsky
and Harry Dodge, Denver men, who,
he declares framed" the crime over
a month ago and carried it out while
he stood guard in front of the jew
eler's shop.
Mireovsky and Dodge were arrest
ed by detectives. They brand Sher-
ley's accusation as a false asser-
ton and claim that they know moth
ing of the crime.
Chief of Police O'Neill says that
he does not place much faith in
Sherley's latest confession and that
the investigation had not been on the
square.
Sheriff Schloo declares that Sher-
ley is telling the truth and asserts
that he does not believe Yoder to be
guilty of the crime despite the fact
that Yoder admitted tina he was i'm
plicated in it.

PARTY COUNCILS HELD.

The politicians down in Kansas
may now rest for awhile Sc far as
machine work is concerned. The
party councils have been held and
the platforms have been adopted.
The Republican council by vote
of 80 to % refused to comply with
the request of the Taft Republi-
cans that they take the Roosevelt
electors off the Republican ticket
and place them on an independent
ticket. This action settles the mat
ter so far as the people are concern
ed The matter is still in the courts
and it is problematical as to what
will be the decision.
The Democratic council decided
not to place woman's suffrage
plank in their platform. bat declai ed
it to be nonpartisan issue. They
recommended it favorably to the vot-
ers.
The secretary of states believes
that under the law he rs compelled
to place at the head of The Repub-
lican ballot the names of Taft and
Sherman. The Roosevelt people state
that they will bring nandamus ac-
ton to compel the secretary to
leave off the two names.
The Kansas Republican political
fight has been a long one and it is
probable that it will continue until
election day. Kansas is trying to
live up to her reputation and his

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 90
Mrs. Henry II. Rogers, whose late
husband was vice president of the
Standard Oil company, died sudden
ly today in dining car in Grand
central station at the conclusion of
her return from a summer spent in
the White mountains. Although
Mrs. Rogers was one of the richest
widows in America there has been
less written about her than about
the wife of any other man of Mr..
Rogers standing in the United
States. Her photograph rarely ever
adorned newspaper. She never in
terviewed newspaper folks.
Mrs. Rogers owned no rare jewels
nor famous gems although a word
would have brought her the best. She
attended few social functions as her
inclinations were domestic rather
than social When she entertained,
it was with elegance, but to small
and select parties. Her interests
were in her home. She had rather
rule in her own dining room than on
a social throne. All this in spite of
the fact that she was interested in
public enterprises. In a quiet un-
signed way she wave much to char
ity, but scarcely person outside the
immediate family knew the details
of her helping hand.
She was particularly interested in
wage-earning women. She spent
much study on their condition and
made extended Investigations to get
at the exact state Of affairs.

on the national election.
While over in the little old N
England states the peope are gath
ering at the various polling places
for the purpose of electin state Of
ficials and the people Of Ohio are
adopting a new constitution the cit
izen voters Of Durango will be
marching to the polls to cast ballots
that will change our method OF city
government.
From one end Of the country to the
other there seems to be a growing
demand for new and better ways a
doing business, new and better ways
Of administering governmental af-
fairs. and the people of Durango
are not going to be left behind in
this march of progression.
Some feel that this wave Of SEN
timcnt in favor of revised methods
of administration is kind of mex
plainable hysteria. That may be
true. 1t may be disease. II It is,
it is becoming universal. II has up
turned the old systems in the old
world as well as in the new and there
is no power on earth that can stop
il until the desire is satisfied.
Those who are heartily in favor Of

insist that those who oppose these
new systems in government are the

steps of the former so long as time
shall last regardless of the amount
Of happiness that may be experienced
