There is always something doing
in Allison but there has been more
than usual going on the last week.
Last Sunday evening Miss Grace
Howe and Scofield came home. They
have spent the winter in Oklahoma
City, where they were studying chiro-
practices. Both graduated in June.
For the present they are located in
Allison and are ready for business.
We wish them luck.
Mrs. Engle has returned home af-
ter an absence Of one month. She was
visiting friends in Nebraska.
Mr.. Ed Biggs and Slenck each had
horse killed by lightning about a
week ago. 1t was hard luck for them.
Mr.. and Mrs. V. Hays had friends
visit them last week. When they got
off the train there was 10 one there
to meet them. They started to walk
and had not gone far when they came
to big stream of water. There was
no way to cross except wading. The
man did the heroic thing and carried
his wife across
Mr.. Geist is slowly recovering. We
wish that good health may soon be
his.
Ruby Scofield, Helen Pollock and
Scouton are spending few days with
Bessie McChesney at her home. They
are to fish and expect to have very
pleasant time.
The fourth was a great success.
Many people came to see it. Owing
to the fact that arrivals were slow
no events were scheduled until af-
ter dinner. Most of the people
brought lunches with them and ate in
the woods, back Of the school house.
At 1870 few races were run and then
the ball game was called. 1t was too
one sided to be interesting. The ALI
son-Tiffany boys were in good form

AFTER MANY MOONS.

After an absence of 20 years, Mrs.
Percy Richtmeyer, nee Ann Price, ac-
companied by her husband is a visitor
in Durango.
Mrs Richtmeyer is the only daugh-
ter of the late Colonel j. G. Price, who
was numbered among the substantial
men of pioneer days. She was born
at Fort Lewis, in the days the army
was stationed there. Her mother, one
of the most beautiful as well as the
most intellectual women that ever re-
sided in the southwest. occupied a
place as prominent in social life as
did her husband in business and polit-
ical circles.
1t is indeed a great pleasure to the
family's old time friends to meet this
charming young woman and her hus-
band, who is progressive young bus
mess man of Chicago.
When Miss Ann left Colorado she
was a tiny little girl, with golden
braids. 1t seems hardly possible the
lapse Of time has been sufficient for
her to be matured woman. To her
a visit to the old haunts is a great
joy. Yesterday they went out to the
fort and tomorrow they are planning
to 20 over to Mancos for week to
renew the acquaintance of one of Mrs.
Richtmeyer's best friends, Geo. NJ.
Carr who made the Price home his
home for many years.
While in the city Mr.. and Mrs
Richtmeyer are making their head
quarters at the Strater.

VISITING CAPITALISTS APPAR-
EMILY WELL PLEASED WITH
THIS RICH SECTION.

The Los Angeles delegation return
ed to Durango about 500 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon after covering some
rs miles to the east of this city, look
ing over the agricultural possibilities.
A trip of this kind is sure to be an
eye-opener TO even Durangoite. 1t
certainly was to several who accom-
panied the visitors. In the first place
the splendid streams encountered, the
Florida and Pine river, within a short
distance from the Animas, all carry
ing large quantities of water that is
going to waste. Then at this season
the farms are presenting their best
appearance. Grain fields are waving
while alfalfa is bowling to the cycle
and being garnered into barns and
stacks. The crop is very heavy. Diff
ferent roads We're traversed in going
and coming from the eastern portion
of the county. A run was made up
the river from Bayfield,, then on the
mesa east of Bayfield,, down to Ig-
nacio, where dinner was served, by Mr..
Cameron, which had previously been
ordered by Hans Aspaas.
We understand the gentlemen were
highly pleased with what they saw.
They were in good spirits when seen
at the hotel last evening.
This morning the party took the Rio
Grande Southern to Fort Lewis cross
ing, where they were met by Mr..
Clay with two autos from Durango
and one from Mancos with a commit
tee from that place ana after covering
the coal fields and the Fort Lewis
school continued to Mancos where
stop was made for dinner.
This afternoon the party will tour
the Montezuma valley, putting in the
night at Cortez, covering the territory
between Cortez and Dolores tomorrow
morning, spending short time at Do
lores, where it is expected the visitors
will take the train for Durango, pro
viding it IS on time.
Stopping over night in Durango the
party will start on the homeward trip,
taking in the Fort Lewis mesa, Kline
and La Plata districts, stopping at
night at Pennington.
Friday will be devoted to touring
the county, coming up as far as Ce-
dar Hill, dinner at Aztec, then Farm
ington over night again and next day
to Shiprock, thence across country to
Gallup Sunday, landing in Los Angel
es Monday.

REVOLUTIONISTS IN PORTUGAL
AND MEXICO SHOULD JOIN
FORCES.

LISBON, Portugal, July S.-The
royalists attempt to restore the Port
ugese monarchy continues to be made
in various parts of northern Portu-
gal.
The royalists tried today to dyna-
mite bridge over the river, Mimic,
near Caminha, but caused only
slight damage.
Although many of the royalists
have been subdued or arrested, two
important detachments still maintain
activity.
The second force of monarchists,
according to the last report received
were marching from Verin to Capes
in the province of Traz Os Monies.
The government, which remains in
session day and night, is rushing all
the troops and war vessels to the
north.
At Moreira De Rey the population
has raised the royal standards on the
houses and joined the rebels in the
fight with the Republican guards.
Many of each faction are either killed
or wounded.
An attack on Valencia De Mimic
by force of royalists led by Captain
Sepulveda, formerly aid to Queen Ma
ria Pia, was repulsed. The captain
and 13 other officers and 40 of the
royal troops retreated across the in
ternational bridge, over the Mimic,
where they fell into the hands of
Spanish troops and were arrested.
Others escaped by swimming the
river.
1t is alleged here that royalist lead
ers in Spain are secretly helping the
Portuguese royalists and that many
are now in Portugal endeavoring to
spread the monarchist revolt.

AT the request of the Los Angeles
delegation it has been necessary to
revise the program somewhat. Our
people were very anxious that they
visit Silverton and Pagosa Springs,
also spend a day at the Vallecito club
club grounds, but the gentlemen state
that their business engagements will
not permit them devoting any time to
pleasure or sight seeing, and that the
Silverton and Pagosa Springs trips
would be largely on the sight seeing
order as they would have to take of
ficial figures regarding production
anyway, being unable to personally in
spect the mines. Accordinly the local
ranged for a meeting to be held in Du-
range Wednesday evening, on the re
turn of the party from Montezuma
county, calling in representatives
other parts of the district, including
Telluride, if possible to get repre-
sentation from that place on short no
tice. 1t was deemed advisable in
place of regular banquet to hold a
sort of smoker, including a Dutch
lunch" in order that the members of
the board of trade and all others inter
ested in the advancement of Durango
might have an opportunity of meeting
the California gentlemen and listen to
what they have to say, two of them
being pleasing speakers.
By Wednesday night they will have
formed somewhat of an idea of the
magnitude of this southwest district
and its value to the city they repre-
sent when placed on a direct line.
Arrangements for the smoker are
in the hands of Secretary Raymond
and George Logan. The smoker will
be held in the Elk's lodge rooms, that
organization having kindly given the
use of their rooms.
Smoker tickets will be 80 cents and
be purchased at any time at any Of
the four drug stores or at the door
1t is hoped there will be a large
turnout of the business interests OF
the city. Silverton will send good
sized delegation; w. N. Searcy making
the general address for the congress
Pagosa Springs will be represented by
two auto loads; while Bayfield,, lgna-
clio and other points have promised
to be represented. Elk rooms will be
open at $3.50.
Now is the time to get busy and
push.

.COLORADO'S FOREMOST CLUB
WOMAN DIES RESULT OF COM
PLICATED DISEASES.

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-Mrs.
Sarah Platt Decker Of Denver, club
woman and philanthropist died last
evening at Adler's sanitarium, of com
plicated kidney and heart trouble,
with which she was seized week
ago. The end came peacefully at 81
20 o'clock. Miss Harriet Platt, her
daughter, who had been sent for from
Denver, was at her bedside all day
and was a great comfort to her.
Mrs. Decker was conscious all
morning and knew the end was near.
She talked quietly with her daughter
She seemed to regard the approach
ing death as an interesting exper-
ience to one whose life had been rich
in experiences Of many kinds.
At noon she lapsed into uncon-
sciousness, from which she never raj
lied
DR.. Cornelia DeBey, who had been
in constant attendance, and DR.. How
ard F. Adler, gave the last medical
aid.
The body will be taken to Denver
today.
The above is the message which sent
a shock throughout Denver as well as
Durango, and throughout women's
clubs all over the United States, for
Mrs. Decker was one of the brainiest
and most influential women of the ma
tion, and in the ranks of the thou
sands of advocates Of woman's eman-
ciapation through equal suffrage she
was easily the leader.
Mrs. Decker went to San Francisco
ten days ago to attend the biennial
convention Of General Federation of
Wtman's clubs Of which she had twice
been president. Throughout the early
session Of that body she seemed en-
tirely well and her work therein was
characterized by her well known good
nature and zeal.
