In the vagaries of delirium that

Moodily as he reflected he watched the

His soul sickened as he reflected

And then-chaos!
1t had come so suddenly that after
wards neither of the two dauntless
prospectors could have described the
primal catastrophe or its later de-

see the great mountain slide into a
plunging distorted mass. In the arms
of an avalanche he was carried thou

into frightful chasm. TO his I'M
conscious comrade it was a dim sense
of motion and then nothlngness.
Six months after that event a thin
ragged man entered the trading post
at Wilma, with a brief mournful story
and simple earnest request.
Where from?' the superintendent
had asked him.

HOLE IN TIE Fence
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

"The hole in the fence!' murmured
Wade Rayner, in his sleep.
Poor fellows spoke David Rose
leaning solicitously over his fever
stricken comrade. HE is thinking
of home-dreaming of the dear old
spot we may neither Of us ever see
again.
1t was a chill, dreary scene, one cal
culated to Danish the remotest sug-
gestion Of home and its comforts, its
serenity, its fond strong shelter.
An Alaskan winter held a grim
frozen landscape locked in the en-
brace Of pitiless ice and snow Where
shelf of rock protruded the two
prospectors had sought refuge the
evening previous-ill, half famished,
worn out
1t had been at the suggestion of
Rose, the older of the two, that his
chosen friend had invested his all
in an outfit and joined him in Drawing
the rigors of the great Nome trail in
quest of the wonderful gold fields that
were making princes of paupers daily.
Thus far it had been all experiment,
disappointment, vain Ruthless effort.
Three days previous, however, they
had met a sick crippled miner going
home to die. He told of a partly
developed claim upon the Yukon,
workable the year round. He showed
his papers Of ownership, he told a
seemingly straight story. The part
ners ventured their last capital, bare
five hundred dollars, and had started
out to locate their treasure.
And now, for twenty-four hours poor
Wade had been stricken with fever,
delirious a part Of the time, no medi
cine available, not even decent shell

But he was dreaming, and the
glories of his fancy Kept at bay all |

OFFICIALS PLOT TO RUIN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. o..
Congressional inquiry into the alleged
plot of federal officials to ruin the

letter from farmer constituent, F.

he will try to get the house to take
the matter up.
The Indictment Of Eugene v. Debs,

HUSKINS, A SALESMAN,
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

Henry Huskins, who was arrested in
Antonito Tuesday night, by warrant
sworn out by d. R. Mckinney Of this
city, evidently did not take his trou-
bles seriously until he was informed
by wire that Mckinney was going to
put up the expense money for the La

back, then he proceeded at once to
take steps to settle the matter.
Last week Mr.. Mckinney equipped
Huskins with a line Of samples and
goods to go out on the road for the
firm. 1t was agreed that he report
to the house by letter daily. The frs,
intimation that Mr.. Mckinney had
that the salesman's intentions were
not the best were when he learned that
Mrs. Huskins had given up her apart

her husband. As the family were
short on coin, this move looked sus-

information came the news that Mr.

PLAN SYSTEM OF HATCH
ERIES FOR ALASK A

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. c.
Legislation for the protection of the
Alaska fish supply by the strict regu-
lation of fishing and the establishment
of n system of hatcheries more ex-
tensive than in any of the states is
predicted for the next regular ses-
sion by Senator Jones. His sub-com-
mittee on the subject has failed to
get the measure in shape for pas
sage before March, but the result Of
its hearings will be carried over for
the use of new committee.
If the hopes Of the conservationists
are realized, every pound Of fish ta-
ken henceforth from Alaskan waters
will pay tax into the federal treas
ury, and this tax will be diverted to
the fund for the creation Of new hatch
cries and for the employment of in
spectors. Gradually, they believe, the
coasts of Alaska will become the
worlds greatest fishing ground.

FEDERAL BUILDING. NOW
ASSURED FOR DURANGO

Splendid news was received in Du-
range last evening through the me-
dium of two kilograms regarding the
federal building. One was from State
Senator George West who went to
Washington some week or ten days
ago in the interests of the bill. Sen
ator West telegraphed that the house
committee had agreed on the full
S150,000 asked for in the bill and that
it would pass at this session. The
other telegram was from Senator
Charles S. Thomas asking for spe-
cific information regarding the num-
Der of departments that would occupy
the building. AS the latter informa-
ton is on file in the treasury de-
partment it can be easily obtained.
The above kilograms are in line
with letters received some weeks ago
by Secretary Raymond of the board
of trade, but at that time the infor-
nation was requested not to be pub
lished.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Raymond re-
ceived a letter from Senator Guggen-
helm stating that he would give the
bill immediate attention as soon as it
landed in the senate and now he will
have the assistance of Senator Thom-
as, consequently the outlook for the
federal building in Durango is quite
promising, also sufficient sum to
erect a creditable one.

COUNTY JUDGES HELD BIG
MEETING IN DENVER

During his brief stay in Denver
Judge McCloud participated in num-

On the 2Sth he attended the state
meeting of county judges held in
Judge Lindsey's office. Bills of spe-
cial interest to their work which are
now before the legislature were dis
cussed as well as measures that will
be necessary in the future.
On Saturday evening the judge at
tended the annual dinner of the Colo
RADIO members of the alumni of CO.

class of '72. Men prominent in all
walks of life in the state were in at
tendance.

known business men of the state who

who proposes to make greater Col
orado by bringing about general
awakening of its citizens to the great
possibilities of the state. He char
acterizes Denver as city suffering
from top heavy affliction and pre-
scribes as remedy that firm foun-
dation of manufacturing and agri-
culture be established. In carrying
out his plans to bring about improved
conditions he intends utilizing the
press, the pulpit, the schools, and the
railroads. He created so much en-
thusiasm that about all that remains
to proceed with the work is to pass the
hat. Judge McCloud's extended ex-
perience with commercial club work
places him in position to appreciate
or depreciate the value Of the boiled
down ready for application methods of

many of them excellent.
During his evenings that were not
filed with business duties, the Judge
attended the theater. Sunday being
