LOCAL CAREY ACT PROF.
ECT TO BE FINISHED

H. T. Henderson, president of the
Henderson Engineering company, who
recently returned from five months
tour of the important commercial
cities of the United States, considers
from financial standpoint Durango
people-in fact the entire population
of the San Juan basin-should be
content with their lot. Not one place,
save in the steel manufacturing towns,
did he find conditions better and in
the majority of places not SO good
In the steel towns, the foreign de-
mand for wares is so great that things
are just booming.
Business men everywhere are wait
ing to determine the exact attitude OF
the new administration and the ability
of the leaders to cope with the sit
uation. Especial conservatism is
shown in embarking upon new COM
mercial projects.
But withal Mr.. Henderson brings
this message which will be heralded
with delight by the entire San Juan
section, and particularly the residents
of La Plata county-the Carey land
project is certain to materialize. Ac-
tual operations will begin in the au-
tumn, probably early in October. II
is the desire of the promoters that
the land be settled by the most sub
stantial farmers available, and kept
entirely out of the hands of specula-
tors. To this end negotiations are
under way to get colony Of Holland
Dutch to locate there.

The San Juan congress and the Du-
range board of trade will keep up
its work just as though dirt was fly
ing ON the southern outlet. No great
achievement was ever accomplished
except through persistent work. Some
may think nothing is being done. 1t
is through the persistent advertising
and stick-to-it-iveness that Durango
is about to have creamery in opera
ton; the federal building proposition
was inaugurated and carried through
by the board of trade aided by its COM
mittee. A city without board of
trade or commercial organization
would never have induced the govern
ment to take notice; it was the board
of trade and its committees that Sc
cured the Fort Lewis school, which
is already big benefit and will in
crease each year. Only by organiza-
tion can a great work be accomplish

of fifteen miles for 3 cents, the in
crease in the aggregate number of
rides and in Short haul" traffic has
been so tremendous as to compensate
for Improbable business and to ma
terially cut down the losses due to
fare reduction. Secondly, and this
accounts for the rest of the expla-
nation, the water in the Cleveland
traction valuation has been squeezed
out to greater degree probably than
in the case of any other public utility
in America. l venture the assertion
that if the water in the book value
of every street railway property were
squeezed out as it has been in Cleve-
land, even though generous allow
ance be made for franchise value, good
will and overhead charges, every
American citizen could ride on city
cars for cents, and enjoy good serv-
ice; and every American city could
realize to proportionately greater or
less degree the handsome saving Clev-
Gland is realizing this year in street
car fares, namely the sum of $4,-
100000.

form Of government. Therefore, may
or and council and sheriff have all
Joined in breaking their pledged word
in refusing to resign and quit as they
have solemnly declared they would do
and are now declaring they will hold
their jobs until the supreme court
has passed upon the legality of the
commission form of government for
Denver.
They have even gone to the point of
appointing guards for their Offices and
barricading their doors and putting
double locks upon them and all for
the purpose of trying to get few
more dollars out Of their jobs when
the people have declared by major
ity of many thousands that they do
not want them.
Certainly the people of Denver are
long suffering lot. They cannot
make move in any direction either
of improving this condition or elect
ing candidate to public office without
precipitating an avalanche of lawsuits.
The town is to be pitied; its people
are to be pitied for such an unhappy
condition of affairs.
People throughout the state and
other states are saying "There must
be something radically wrong with
Denver when it is in such con-
stant political squabble. There must
be something wrong with the people OF
that community when they tolerate
such conditions.
Everybody supposed that the cleo
ton of May 90 had placed Denver
upon the high road to peace and pros
perity for long time to come and
row she seems about as badly off as
ever. Really, what Denver needs is a
Diaz to settle her never ending po-
litical revolutions. For apparently
the people of that community are
wholly incapable Of governing them
selves in an orderly, peaceful and ca
pablo manner.

BOY SENTENCED TO LIFE TERM.

GENEVA, ILL.,, June 5.-Fourteen-
year-old Herman Coppes, sentenced to
spend the remainder of his life behind
prison walls, gazed out of the win
low Of the Kane county Jail with
tears streaming down his eyes, while
4 deputy sheriff prepared to take
him away.
Gee, but it is nice out today" he
said, turning to the deputy, "look
how sunny it is. I'd like to go up
the river a-fishin'."
The Coppes boy was Sentenced to
life Imprisonment Monday by Judge
c. F. Irwin for the murder of Mrs.
Nanny Sleep and her two children.
He pleaded guilty and confessed that
after he had quarrel with the wo-
mans husband about doing some
chores on the Sleep farm he shot
Mrs. Sleep and then killed the babes
with an ak. The boy first shot the
mother and then killed the children
because, he said, they bothered him.
The bodies were not discovered for
several days.

to delay until Monday the hearing of
their injunction suits as they want

City Attorney Stevens resisted the
request, saying that Chief Justice
Musser of the supreme court had as
sured him, that if Teller decided the
commission government cases today,
the supreme court could probably fl

Judge Teller refused the continu-
ance asked, saying: "If you men are
holding over in the face of this cleo
tion you ought to know on what law
you are standing. We will proceed
with the trial Immediately"
The arguments lasted all morning.
If Judge Teller sustains the commits

HENwooD DEFENSE HARD HIT.

DENVER, June 6.-Two new wit
nesses testified in the Henwood trial
this morning. Both were strong state
witnesses. The men are Martin Sat
tlery and w. o. Morrison, contractor,
both eye witnesses to the shooting.
Satterly declared that Won Phul
knocked Henwood down and then turn

faced Henwood or threatened his life.
That Henwood was on his feet at the
time he shot Won Phul in the back.
Witness denied Won Phul, after strik-
ing Henwood, reached to his hip pock-
ct as if drawing a gun.
Charles H. Schilling, witness at
the first trial, corroborated this morn

DENVER, June 5.-More than two

the state fish hatcheries by men sent
out by the state game and fish COM
mission, and Commissioner James A.

Fruit conditions are very good and
no doubt better prices will be realized
this coming fall and winter-unless
the jobbers get together again and
cut down the price paid to growers.
In this connection the fruit crop last
year was 20,000,000 barrels shy of
the production, some years ago, at
the same time the price was lower,
While prices were probably too high
in the retail markets previously, they
were too low last year for profitable

AS OTHERS LOOK AT DENVER.

1t has sometimes been said that
what the city of Denver needs more
than anything else is few first class
funerals. This is surely rather dras-
tic treatment, but when we see the
constant turmoil into which that city
is plunged by reason of her politics
it may well be wondered if anything
short of radical treatment will suffice.
When the citizens of that commu-
nifty some months ago decided that
they would have commission form
of government, everybody seemed to
be pleased. Even the officeholders
we're pleased because they thought that
they would be elected under the new
regime.
Things went along nicely until the
election on May 20 last. The office
holders had all stated that they would
resign and give way to whomever the
people chose for their five commits
sioners. But the election had various
surprises and many of those who
thought they would be elected found
themselves far in the rear.
They have been trying to find some
excuse or reason for holding onto their
jobs. At last they have found it in
decision of the United States su.
preme court given last Monday in the
Denver water case. In that case the
supreme court offers some remarks
about the method of amending the
city charter which gives these job
holders an excuse for asserting that
the charter was not properly amend
