CONDITIONS
EXPLAINED
PROPOSITION OF COMMITTEE Is
ACCEPTED BY WIDE-AWAkE h
LOCAL CITIZENS

Owing to the fact that there will
not be sufficient funds in the state
treasury for the maintenance of the
Fort Lewis school, the agricultural
college people, who have been in Du-
range and vicinity for several days,
met with the members of the board
Of trade last night. A thorough dis
cussion of the situation took place,
in which the executive committee OF
the agricultural college made known
Their proposition was that not more
than one-half of the appropriation
made for the Fort Lewis school would
be available and that there was a
possibility that not more than one
half of that would be available when
reeded for the school another year.
They said it became absolutely neces-
sary for the college committee to
know at once in order that it could
prepare its budget for another year in
due time. The authorities stated that
there was a possibility of the school
being short of the amount required
to maintain it, in the sum of $4,000
and that if the citizens of this section
would guarantee the sum of $4,000
the committee of the college would
guarantee $4,000. After considerable
discussion covering many points not
understood by those not connected
with the school the committee fror;
the college retired that the members
OF the board of trade might consider
,ie proposition. In the discussion that
followed it was quite evident that the
people of this section are not willing
TO abandon the school because there
are not sufficient funds in sight in
the state treasury for the school for
another year. 1t was decided that the
amount should be guaranteed and that
the school should be maintained an
other year. 1t was developed that
much money had to be spent in pre-
pairing the institution for the students
and could not be considered as the
ordinary expense of running the
school.
1t will be remembered that one Of
the conditions of the gift from the ma.
tonal government is that school b,
maintained. Should the school be neg
--lected the property would revert tC
the government. 1t was explained by
Representative Weaver and Others
that the legislature would necessarily
refund any and all money paid by oui
citizens in order to hold the school
This has been done with all of th'
state schools and no one believes tina
our people will fail to get back al
the money advanced.

INCREASED
EXPENSES
By Offering High Grade
Services as Well as
The Regular

1t Is the object Of the United The
ater company to give the public bet
Ter class of entertainment than has
ever been given in Durango before.
IN order to accomplish this it be-
comes necessary for US 60 increase
our expenses, and we believe an ex
PLANTATION to the public will be appre-
ciated, inasmuch as there has been
some criticism because of raising the
Price for admission at the picture
shows.
The cost Of the pictures we are now
showing to you is twice as much as
our regular service, therefore it be-
comes necessary to increase the price
in order to maintain the extra high
grade service.
The price Of both houses will not
be raised at the same time and there
will always be one house open at the
regular price of 10 cents. This will
offer to the public a choice and one
can choose just such entertainment as
he or she desires.
1t is our belief that there are those
in Durango who prefer to patronize
the higher class entertainment and as
long as this is done it will be the
pleasure of our company to make an
effort to secure the feature pictures.
Respectfully,
THE UNITED THEATER co.

ANOTHER
WEEK
Will Settle Selection of
Delegates to Repub-
iCan Convention

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IL
The makeup of the Republican con
vention so far as the original selec-
ton of the delegates can determine it,
will be practically settled within a
week. Including eight to be chosen
today at the district conventions in
Texas and Arizona more than 200 del
egates will be selected in the eight
Gays ending next Saturday. About
100 will then remain to be chosen,
including forty-eight from Ohio and
twenty y-four from New Jersey.
The widely divergent claims of the
Taft and Roosevelt managers make it
apparently, however, that the deter
mination of the actual control of the
convention is impossible in advance of
the meeting of the Republican nation
al committee, June 6. The committee
will take up at that time the contest
involving the seats of at least 164
delegates and it is not unlikely that
additional contests will be announced
by the time the committee begins
work
Up to this morning 7S6 of the LOTS
delegates to Chicago had been choser
according to the Roosevelt estimates
while the Taft forces record twenty
less.

TO FLOOD DISTRICT

Western Press.
NEW ORLEANS, May 11.-Dawn
today brought relief and help to thou
sands Of people and ended night Of
excitement and terror for those liv-
ing in the upstate towns and villages
behind levees considered none too safe
because of the terrific storm that
swept down Mississippi river from the
northern portion of Louisiana to the
gulf. The deluge, accompanied by
hail and lightning and a hurricane
that dashed the river water over the
levees in the Cascades from Baton
Rouge south, tearing away the tenn
porary earthworks recently construct
ed.
From scores Of towns, belated tele-
grams tell of the conditions bordering
on a panic where hundreds of fright
ened people left the frame dwellings
and sought safety in the bEick and
stone buildings.
Many places reported as much as
six inches of rain within about fou
hours, ending at o'clock last night
flooding towns and villages. At doz-
ems of points up and down the river
where the levees were thought to be
weak cning, hundreds of citizens work
cd beside gangs Of convicts all NIGH

Chicago Convention Says
the fxpresident Who
Will not be Present
Western Press

Western Press
OYSTER BAY, May l1.-If any
stampeding Of the Chicago convention
is attempted next month to swing the
presidential nomination to Colonel
Roosevelt, the ex-president will not
be the one to start it.
The colonel said today that he in
tends to stay away from the con-
vontion and is satisfied to let his man
ayers run things for him.
Roosevelt laughed over the report
from the Taft headquarters in Wash
ington that he is so alarmed over the
status of the campaign that he had
made up his mind that riot scene
in the convention will be all that can
save him.
