Democratic members were so en-
crossed in introducing and trying to
get through freak measures and al
legged platform reforms, that little
attention was given to the real in
terests of the city, as vide the article
from the Denver Times showing the
bunglesome mess made of the COM
mission merchant measure. The Her
aid favored the passage of a law max
ing commission men responsible, but
not law that will prevent them from
from handling state products, Be-
cause of the overwhelming majority
of Democrats in the legislature
brought about by Republican division,
the members thought they were there
by divine right and not as minority
members. And this same principle
seems to prevail in the national con-
gress.

circulation. For some time the
paper has not had the nerve TO

The Herald is concerned We have
invited advertisers to visit eur
press rooms and for \ series Of
weeks ascertain the number Of

semi weekly. Misrepresenting

government is liable to mix with
the paper that continues the prac-
tice at this time.
Again, The Herald is read BY

tenths of the telegraphic and gen

Some sense to this: Senator Bris-
tow, Republican progressive, declares
emphatically that he will oppose as
strongly as possible free sugar. Il

on sugar. said Mr.. Bristow, "but

diately put out of business producers
in this country whom we have en-
couraged to put millions of dollars
into the growing of sugar beets and
sugar cane and building refneries.

reductions in many of the tariff rates,

ahead, putting such articles as sugar
on the free list merely because of
prejudice"

COMMISSIONER SCOUTON's
DUTIES.

The writer, not having bees in b.
range but once since election and then
only for few hours, and not having
talked with the commissioners elected
al the last election, is not posted as
to what is going on and the influence
Being brought to bear on Commission
er Scouton regarding positions to be
filled by him. As readers are aware,
Of public affairs, has the appointing
Of every police officer xs well rs
those in charge Of streets and alleys.
The trainers Of the charter placed \
great deal Of personal responsibility
on this commissioner and this was
objected to by many at the time whs
said it would permit the commissioner
to build up political machine. The
commissioner is held responsible for
carrying out the provisions of the
charter, not the men appointed by
him. Under the provisions Of the
charter no candidate is permitted to
even suggest that supporter will
ne appointed to office. Any kind Of
promises made prior to election are
sufficient to make one elected inelegi-
BILE, hence we take it for granted and
feel confident that Mr.. Scouton, or,
for that matter, Mr.. Redman nor Mr..
Wilson, made any promises and that
those supporting Mr.. Scouton and the
other commissioners did so because
they believed they would best serve
the interests of the people and tax
payers of Durango.
Now to the point: As stated in the
beginning of this article, we are not
informed regarding who are even can
didates for the various places. 1t is
possible Mr.. Scouton is being waited
on by people urging the appointment
Of this or that man, some probably
claiming recognition for men because
they are good Democrats. the same
political faith as that of Mr. Scouton,
olthough we do not believe under the
provisions Of the charter that Mr..
Scouton will recognize politics but will
be impartial between Democrats and
Republicans. Others will have some
personal friend they want taken care
Of. Mr.. Scouton having been elected
without pledge and therefore unfet-
tered when he assumes office, should
give the matter of appointments care
full consideration. While giving the
advice and recommendation Of friends
certain consideration, at the same
time II must be remembered that Mr..
and not the parties recon-
this or that person. will be

j. II. Empson of Longmont, Colo
and K. b. Richardson, an engineer
from Denver, were looking over the
Inca canal last Friday in company
with w. Goff Black. 1t is rumore1
that if the project suits Mr.. Empson
he may put enough money into it In
complete it. The lands that come
under the Inca canal are of the high
est fertility, and adapted to growing
fiuit, alfalfa or grain. The canal is
already completed for something like
eight miles, and the best of work has
been done on it. Large steel fumes
are used in crossing the river at Cedar
Hill as well as across arroyos encoun-
tered. In the neighborhood of 10000
acres of new land will come under
cultivation with the completion of the
Inca-and every acre with water right
is worth S100.-Aztec Index.

Declaring that "love was ALL" Mrs.
lone Pidcock of Moultrie, Ca, left
her millionaire husband a few days
ago and ran away with a poor man
who has since been cast into Jail.
THE newsboys shout my name in the
Streets" says Mrs. Pidcock; "people
point me out as one who has done a
foolish thing, and suppose there are
women who will insist that | must
be forever cast out of society; but |
am satisfied. | love and am loved,
and love is ALL Love like mine can
not brook separation; it is life; it is
hope; it is all that can be worth
while" Our first and only guess is
that Mrs. Pidcock is opposed to every
thing that may serve as hindrance
to the qualification of her desires.
Ills is dangerous and reprehensible
attitude, but it is one that a very
great number of people, when you
stop to think of it, have adopted. The
difference between Mrs. Pidcock and
many of those who will be shocked at
her statement is that she is frank

This is certainly the age of de-
ception. The other day our more OF
less esteemed co-temp. published an
item quoting a supposed authority
stating that ere long the cost of liv-
ing to the people of American would
be reduced between S300,000,000 and
$500, 900 annually. This is prac-
tically two-thirds of the value of the
entire farm output and just where
the farmer is going to come in un-
der the statement is hard to under
stand. The trouble is that theorists
are in the saddle and people jump
at what they have to say. In the
course of year or two stern reality
will change the views of millions who
now believe all the rot that is told
them.

AS soon as the trial is opened to
the Shenandoah mine another prop
erty will be shipping ore to the smelt-
ers. Twenty men have been employ
ed at this property pushing the de-
velopment work that was carefully
planned by John Hueston, foreman of
the property, and Henry Charlton,
shift boss. A large quantity of high
grade ore is blocked out and ready
for shipment as soon as the trail is
in condition to allow safe travelling.
1t is the intention of the men in charge
of this property to add larger force
of employees as soon as possible, and
work will then be carried out on a big
ger scale. The Shenandoah gives ev-
cry promise of being a steady pro.
ducer during the year, and with the
payroll increased from twenty to 100
men, this property will help greatly
