OBSERVATIONS
BY THE WAY

"The Herald is to be congratulated
on calling the attention of the peo-
pie of Durango and the San Juan
basin to the splendid conditions sur
rounding US compared with most every
other part of the country" said a
business man this morning. "Too
many of our people have become ac-
customed to kicking and finding fault.
1t is only necessary to take trip
to the outside TO become satisfied
with this section. In fact, all one
need do is to be close reader of the
daily papers. Not week passes that
do not shake hands with myself on
living in Durango. The only thing
lacking in this community is unity of
the people. Unitedly we can make
Durango second Pueblo. We have
the natural advantages. All that is
lacking is united action to develop our
resources and united people to say
good word. This lambasting every
corporation or business firm or what
this or that person does has worked to
our disadvantage long enough and it
is time those who are everlastingly
finding fault either with this country
or what others do, took a hunch and
changed their tactics. 1t is too bad
for district like we have to be ham
pered by disturbing newspapers and
individuals. No section offers such
splendid inducements to farmers. Look
at the money they are receiving for
grain, hay, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc

is going to improve--providing he
does his part, but no rancher can make
a success as 4 sidewalk farmer any

MATTERS NOT OVERLOOKED.

MATTERS NOT OVERLOOKED.
Editor Herald:
The article "Observations By the
Way" in last nights issue was. time
ly and much to the point. The tax
payers of the city will do well to
heed the suggestions contained there
in:
One statement you made therein,
however, is in error, in that each of
our commissioners have deputy. We
are not aware that the mayor has
one. If so we do not know where he
keeps him, or what he does with him.
Would like you to inform US on this
matter as the public at this time, if
we read the signs Alright, are in the
mood to keep posted. The water COM
missioner, we are aware, has one and
it is right that it is that way on ac-
count Of the emergencies that are
continually liable to arise in his de-
partment, and which are apparent to
anyone familiar with the service.
On the face of conditions as they
now appear it seems that emergen-
cies are also liable to arise in the
administration of the affairs of the
cityclerk, as he is enjoying the use
of a deputy. In our recent article
attention was called to the duties of
this official and if incorrect or mis-
leading in any respect whatsoever to
advise the people to the contrary.
This has not been done.
Mr.. W. G. White was correct in the
assertion that he made at the tax
payers meeting with the commission
ers that the clerk should personally
pay expense Of this character incur
red by him.
The charter gives any of the COM
missioners authority for employing
any necessary assistance, but it does
not contemplate the formation of a
new deputyship ever time such as
sistance is invoked.
This is what creeps into the sys-
tenn and unless due care is taken will
require an operation to remove.
Our commissioners are all under
bond to perform their duties in con-
formity with the charter, and unless
this is adhered to it is an easy mat
ter to enjoin one or all Of them from
overstepping the limit which will
most surely be done if the present in
clinations are indefinitely continued
There is no legitimate reason in
times like the present that the run
ming expense of our city government,
should be increased. The apathy and
indifference of the people themselves
is largely responsible for such condi-
tions to exist.
The majority Of them will wake ur
when they are paying their taxes, but
then it is too late, the damage has
been done, the precedent established
and for that time at least, cannot be
remedied. 1t is well to launch q
movement of this kind at this time
keep the matter before the people
Taxpaying time will soon be at hand
when some of them will be giver
food for reflection.

GUIDE FOR
OUR BUSY /.
SHOPPERS

The approach Of Christmas and its
Importance to all ages, classes and
conditions of people was emphasized
today by the throngs of shoppers
crowding streets and stores to see the
latest Yule tide offerings.
Window shopping is an important
part of the pref Christmas program
and Durango merchants have some
thing to offer in this line that would
be credit to city stores. Santa Claus
seems to have established quarters In
a score of places and evidenced his
presence by an array of suitable gifts
in the window.
Our merchants have put forth every
effort to make Christmas shopping
easy and a pleasure. They have
stocks to select from as metropolitan,
extensive and up-to-date as any town
of this size in the United States and
they are offering their goods at
prices that make catalogue houses
rates seem exorbitant.
Methods of travel has changed In
this century and Santa Claus is pic
tured as coming by auto, train, mot
orcycle, aeroplane and even pack
train, but those Of us who passed our
childhood long before the dawn of
1900 feel the beloved old fellow brings
more of the true Christmas spirit
with him If he makes his way over
the land with his sleight and eight
tiny reindeer. Down at the jackson
Hardware Old Santa is standing be-
fore the fireplace, looking exactly as
he did in days Of yore. Such a wealth
Of comfort is portrayed in the scene
that you are sure the articles offered
would be exactly what the recipient
would most desire. And they are.
One window is devoted TO useful and
beautiful articles for grown-ups while
the other has deluge Of things for
the younger generation.
Over at Graden's Santa Claus has
established telephone communca-
tions with the San Juan and assur-
ing the boys and girls that store is
the headquarters for his wares. So
varied is the display of suitable gifts
that you are sure that all the world
