Ward barley announces the organi-
zation of the New Freedom Sugar
Beet company, occupying full page
in each of the Denver newspapers
The announcement cost at least $4,000
indicating that barley has persuaded
some one to put up little money
barley says he tried to get money
in the east and was turned down; tried
to work his relatives with the same
result, and now he wants the people
to take a chance. Wonder what be-
came of the California capitalist who
was going to put in a few millions ac-
cording to barley as republished in
the Durango organ few weeks ago
He takes full page to tell about
the new plan and being turned down
by monied interests. The Weld coun-
ty people will be out some money bul
will know more inrthe long run. Du-
range citizens were importuned To
the extent of $4,000 and we doubt
if a single statement or pledge made
by barley was lived up to.

SANDERS-DAVIS.

Mr.. and Mrs. William II. Davis have
given in marriage their daughter, AL.
berta Pricilla, to Mr.. Kenneth James
Sanders, on April 15, 1918. At home
corner of Fourth avenue and Fifth
street after June 15-was the an
nouncement that treated Durango peo.
pie to complete surprise today. Even
the wise folk who tell us "they knew
all about it" when a secret is divulged
admit that they did not suspect this
event had taken place, adding though
that they anticipated it would in the
near future.
1t was the choice of these splendid
young people that only those who
were nearest and dearest to them
should witness the most important
event in their lives, hence the we'd
ding was only quiet affair, complete
ly devoid of frills and furbeloes. On
the evening of April Is at the home
of the brides parents, the contracting
parties were united in marriage by
Rev. Mr.. Vermillion of the First M.
E. church. The brides parents and
brother and the grooms mother were
the only ones present.
The bride was attired in simple
but exceedingly pretty white gown,
and very attractive picture she
made. The groom wore the conven-
tional black. 1t was patent to all
that he perfectly appreciated the prize
that he was winning for life COM
panion.
Alberta Davis Sanders is the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Da-
Wis. She is bright, talented and ex-
ceedingly interesting girl who has u
host of friends in all walks of life.

The Anheier confectionery store, in
the Snyder block, which is the latest
business enterprise to enter the local
commercial field is in every way
equipped for success. The apartments
are furnished with uptodate appoint
ments, and are altogether attractive,
all things being with view to cater
ing to the comfort and pleasure of
the patrons. The convenience of GUS
toners is considered even to fitting up
booths for those who desire to give
private entertainments in the estab-
lishment. Only the best ice cream,
candies and cigars are carried in stock.
At present only the ice cream is man
ufactured by the company, but little
later, they will have their own candy
maker. The store is credit to Du-
rango's business district and it at
tests to the faith of the proprietor in
the city's future prosperity.

A large company of friends assem-
bled at the Ahrens home in Animas
City this afternoon, to publicly pay
their respects to the memory of the
late Henry Ahrens. Although his res
idence in this city had been of brief
duration, he had acquired the high
est regard of large number of our
citizens.
Henry Ahrens was native of Ger
many. Had he lived until November
next he would have attained the age
of 6s. In the days of his early man.
hood he cast his lot in America. After
short residence in New York, he set
tied in Colorado.
Forty years ago, he met, wooed and
won that splendid woman who sur
wives him. Their marriage occurred
in Pueblo. Four children. John Abr
ems, Herman Ahrens, Mrs. Buyers and
Mrs. Olischlager were the fruit of
the union. All are living and were
present at the funeral today.
For years, Mr.. Ahrens was engaged
in stock raising and farming in the
vicinity of Fairplay. Two years ago
he purchased home in Animas City
and reside there for a time. The
call of the old haunts became too
strong and he returned. About two
months since he again located in Ami
mas City.
For many years Mr.. Ahrens was an
honored member of the l. o. o. F.
lodge. That order conducted the serv-
ices at the grave according to their
ritual. Rev. Mr.. Crozier of the Pres
byterian church had charge of the
services at the home.

Under the revised plan for the dis
solution of the Union Pacific Southern
Pacific combination there seems to be
a certainty that the decree of the
supreme court could be carried out at
an early date. Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, evidently believing that the
officers: of the railroads are acting in
entire good faith, has expressed to
the court his willingness that the ex-
tension of time to July be granted
in order that the Union Pacific may
dispose of it's holdings of Southern
Pacific stock without further sacrifice
in the price. Since the supreme court
entered its decree the market value of
Southern Pacific stock has declined
from around sos a share to little
more than par. Each one of those
eight points of decline meant loss
of S1,266,500 to the Union Pacific on
the $126,650,000 of stock to be sold
or total decline of more than $10,-
100000 in the value of the Investment
The revised plan now before the court
provides in practical way for the
distribution of the stock in such a
manner as to separate the control of
the Southern Pacific from the Union
The plan which Mr.. Wickersham at
tempted to force was found impossible
for the reason that it contemplated
changing the railroad map Of the west
in a manner that did not gain the ap-
proval of the western state railroad
commissions and other interests con-
cerned.
