MAKING ROOM FOR DEMO-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. T.
The Maltby building, across the street
from the capitol, where previous to
the erection of the senate office build

rented to provide office thinking room
for the new congressman Of the DEM

In the meantime another story will
be added to the house office building.
The structure is at present four sto-

occupied.
The new congress will consist of
435 members as against 394 this pres

OIL AS FUEL ON ENGINES
IN NEAR FUTURE PLANNED

LONDON, Feb. From expert
ments which are being carried out at
the present time on one of the lead
ing railways, it would appear that at
no distant date locomotive engines de-
irving their power from oil may dis
place the steam-driven engine
The special type of locomotive which
has just been completed and which is
known as "the Paragon is silent in
operation and varies in many essen
tial respects from the oil engine at
present in use. 1t is claimed for it
that 1T will make possible the pro-
pulsion of heavy train such as is
used in the suburban service, at a
hitherto unattainable speed and at a
cost per train mile far below that
of the steam driven engine.
1t is early yet to say how far the
new system will realize all that is
expected of it, but no steam-driven
locomotive can be run at present at
less cost than 1Od. per train mile,
so that anything that tends to reduce
the cost and make for greater eff
cheney is sure of careful considera-

less period than five years, were

combustion locomotive of total
weight in service of eighty-five tons,

tive which has just been completed
only weighs thirty-five tons. The ex-

STATEWIDE ADVERTISING CAM
PAIGN.
Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor.
see in the Denver papers that
another big organization is being
formed to boom the state. The Ad-
vertising club started it, the big bust
ness men are backing it, and they
have employed skilled promoter to
lead it. In outlining his plans at a
big meeting held in Denver last Tues
day the leader said $4,000 had to
be raised to carry out his plans. The
movement was started in Denver, but
it is to become state wide. The lead.
er's name is Herbert N. Casson and
ne has had wide experience in the
booster business. He is going to in.
terest the people in all parts of the
state by running special trains
through it, and he is going to spend
the money that is raised in bringing
new settlers to Colorado.
That is his plan, but in order to
carry it out he must be able to show
outsiders what the resources of this
state really are, for no one pays much
attention to what booster says un-
less he can back his statements with
facts and figures. At least that was
the conclusion reached by the San
Juan congress when it started to get
new railroad in here. When the
congress found out that no reliable
statistics were available, they en-
ployed men to go through the San
Juan basin and gather statistics that
would command the confidence of rail
road builders. 1t cost several thou
sand dollars to do the work, and it
will cost Mr.. Casson good deal
more if he is going to cover the whole
state.
Before he gets through with his
boosting campaign he will feel the
need Of reliable statistics. Everyone
who tries to boost soon feels that
need, and they often wonder why the
state has not made provision FOR gath
ering statistics that can be relied
upon. Other states do it, and why
should Colorado not do it. In Kan
sas the state board of agriculture
takes an inventory of the states re-
sources every year. Under law they
have there the county assessors must
collect this information. Every tax
payer when listing his property for
revenue purposes, is required to make
separate schedule for statistical
purposes. The result is, that when

CHRIS BARTH DEAD, VIC
TIM OF TUBERCULOSIS

Another Durango boy, who was just
on the threshold of young man.
hood of promise, has passed away.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock last night Mr..
and Mrs. w. S. McNeeley received a
message from Salt Lake City telling
them the sad news that their grand
son, Chris Barth, was dead. 1t proved
terrible shock to the family and to
the young mans many friends as such
strong hope for his recovery was held
out by the physicians attending him.
Chris Barth was typical west
ern boy, one whose bones and sinews
were part of the western life. He
was born in Durango twenty-one years
ago, and it was in this city that most
Of his life was spent. He was merry
lad, free from care. One who grasped
the pleasure of the present moment,
and enjoyed it to the utmost.
About year ago Chris went to
New York state to join his father
md learn his trade. The low altitude
lid not agree with him and shortly
he developed tubercular trouble. He
was brought back to his childhood
home for relief All that medical
skill or loving hands could do was
done to alleviate his suffering. Dur
ing the months he remained with his
aunt, Mrs. Ross McGirr, he seemed to
improve. About six weeks ago he
went to Salt Lake City with his
mother, Mrs. Gibson. The Durango
members of the family received such
encouraging reports of his condition
they had the strongest hopes for his
recovery, but it seems the change was
only a temporary condition. 1t is
doubtful had he remained here he
would have been spared longer, as the
tired body had withstsood the ravage
of disease as long as it was able,
and cried to be freed from the physi
cal limitation of this world.
The burden of sorrow is the por-
ton of those left behind. On the
grandparents the blow falls especially
heavy, this being the second of their
grandsons to be taken in early man
hood.
In bereavement such as has visited
the family, word to beguile grief seem
weak and fruitless, but they have the
consolation of all who shared the boys
acquaintance and knew his true worth.
