Semi-weekly herald., 1913-12-08

last night en- route to Lewis where
his wife is located on a homestead.
She is TO accompany MIN, on his re-
turn to the south.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. jackson are
business visitors from Cedar Hill. |
They made the trip overland, leaving
home Wednesday and reaching Du-
range yesterday evening.
The tendency of any man who daily
feeds his dog or mule and in return
would be at the mercy of the dog S
bites and mules kick, would be to
cut short their existence.
| The Eastern arrived little over
four hours and half late last night.
The heavy snowfall on Cumbres oc-
casioned the delay. For time those
on board feared they would be turn
ed back to spend the night in Ala
mosa.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. o. Withrow and
son of the Idaho Mine were bound
for Denver this morning on brief
business and pleasure trip. They
were accompanied by Mrs, W. E. Of
ficers who will visit in the capital
city with her mother until after the
holiday season.
| The heavy snowstorm of the past
week will cause much suffering
among the cattle and sheep through
out the state, and unless owners
were prepared to feed their stock the
loss will be heavy before the snow
disappears.
| C. B. Waller of Ignacio who has
been travelling up and down the Pa
cific coast seeking better climate
| financial conditions and a more de-
sirable location, has returned. Like
| others who look elsewhere to better
their condition, he is glad to see him
self back in the San Juan basin.
| OVERLOOK ED. - The Democrat
reporter at the taxpayers meeting
with the commissioners when taking
note of the bouquets that the water
commissioner was passing out, evi-
IDENTIFY overlooked the American beau
ties that the commissioners of rec
ord and seals was distributing 1t Is
| to smile.
AT the time of going to press the
/ Eeastern is reported hours, or pos
sible more, late. Snow on Cumbres
is causing the delay. Yesterday even
ing the Denver bound train went over
the range without any difficulty but
the heavy snowfall through the night
caused the trouble today. The Sill
verton and Southern branches are
open, the snow not being of suffi-
cient depth to cause any trouble.
On account of the death of Don
Green, who was member of the
High School Athletic association, the
basket ball game between Durango
and Trimble Springs which was
scheduled for this evening, has been
postponed.
Messrs. Fraser and Wheeler of the
forest service went up the Silverton
branch this morning to look after
elk that is ranging somewhere be-
tween Hermosa and Needleton. They
were equipped with skis and other
such paraphernalia as is needed TO
make a mountain trip through snow
of uncertain depth
| The Myler Puett cattle train from
Dolores last night came over in two
sections. The first section made its
way without delays. The second sec
tion fell heir to all the grief Snow
banks of sufficient size were encount-
cred to cause various delays. On one
of the grades motor power and strong
language was not equal to earring
the heavy load over and the train
had to be divided. Some time passed
the midnight hour the Durango sta
ton was made.
The Mesdames w. |. Myler and w.
C. Longenbaugh of Dolores were
bound for the east this morning to
chaperon their respective husbands
when they reach their destinations.
Messrs. Myler and Longenbaugh were
on board the Myler cattle train that
passed through from Dolores last
night. If the Denver cattle market
is good they are to stop there, if not
they will journey to Kansas City.
The coming of Thos. A. Dimes, on
his return from trip to the San
Juan country enroute to his home at
Denver was the occasion for a ban
quet at the Victoria Saturday even
