Miss Lough's
Account Of z Weeks
Spent in Paris

In letter written in London to a
Durango friend, Miss Susan Lough
the former teacher of history in the
local high school, who is spending six
months abroad, gave this interesting
account of her visit to Paris:
am back again under the shadow
of Westminster after a delightful two
weeks in Paris. Fourteen Deans
Yard, London, seems SO quiet and
restful after the rush and racket of
the street in which our pension was
located. Parisians get up earlier in
the morning than people in this neigh
borhood, SO there was not much sleep
for any of us after o'clock.
We went to SO many interesting
places and did so much while in Paris
that it seems rather hard 10 do any.
thing except begin at the very first
day and tell what happened.
Two American girls, Zone from Cal
ifornia and one from New York;, and
had quarters in a pension located in
the very center of old Paris, within
five minutes walk from Notre-D Dame,
the Louvre, the Sorboune, and the
Luxembourg palace and gardens.
Our very first objective point was
the Louvre. We had all of us sew
eral times seen the most important
art galleries Of London but nothing
in England or anywhere else can be
for one moment compared with the
Louvre. 1t is the biggest and most
priceless collection of paintings and
sculpture that has ever been put to-
gether in any one place. London has
great deal of very fine art but it
is SO scattered that it does not begin
to make the impression which you get
from your very first day in. Louvre.

PREMIER GIOLITTI
HAS THE EVIL EYE

ROME, Oct. 25.-Italy-or al
least that major part of Italy which
is deeply superstitious--is today more
convinced than ever that Premier
Giolitti has the "evil eye" This
deeply rooted belief, which for few
years past had been partially forgot
ten, has just been revived with ad-
ded conviction by the death of Teo-
baldo Calissano, minister of posts and
telegraphs. Minister Calissano drop
ped dead few weeks ago while max
ing . toast at banquet. Immed-
lately thereafter, all Italy remember
ed that he was the nineteenth minis
ter of Premier Giolitti's cabinets eth
er to die in office-usually suddenly
or under unusual circumstances-or
else to be stricken with some grave
illness.
The belief in Italy that Premier
Giolitti has the "evil eye" had its
origin during his first term as prime
minister. That was in 1891. During
the very brief term, four of Giolitti's
ministers died suddenly in office. Dur
ing his second ministry, the record
kept almost equal apace. Two min
listers died and four were brought
nearly to deaths door by sudden i'll
ness. Marquis Prinetti, minister of

er recovered completely. Minister of
Public Works Balenzano, developed
gout of the heart and his life for a
long time was despaired of. De
Broglio, minister of finance, was
stricken with rheumatism and Minis
ter of the Treasury Wollamberg suf-
fered a serious mental breakdown.
Giolitti's third cabinet Jared little
better. Signor Rosano, minister of
justice, shot himself. Minister Stel-
luti-Scala of public works died sud
denly, and Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Tittoni resigned because of cere-
bal congestion. Giolitti's fourth cab
met was signalized by the breaking
down of Minister of Finance Massi-
mini, who, while attending session
of parliament, was seized with an ap-
poplectic fit. A few days later Min
lister of Public Worship and Justice
Gallo was found dead in bed. He had
retired apparently in the best Of
health. Then Signor Majorano, min
lister Of the treasury, and the young
est member Of the cabinet, was seiz-
ed with an incurable disease and re-
signed. Finally, Giolitti himself
broke down in health and retired.
Three years ago, however, King
Victor Emmaneul again asked him to
try his luck at forming fifth cab
met and Giolitti hopefully responded.
Since then Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs San Giuliano has been stricken
with disease in one leg which never
leaves him free from pain. Minister

WALSENBURG, Colo, Oct. 25.-
Whether troops will be sent to the
coal strike district is question being
agitated as result of last nights
battle in the streets here resulting in
two strikers being killed, four men
were wounded, two probably fatally.
Feeling runs high between the strik-
ers and officers and further trouble
is feared. Mine guards are swarm
ing the place.
Two Gattling guns arrived this
morning, which will be used by the
guards, should any further outbreaks
occur.
The trouble started last evening
when mine guards were moving
household effects of non-unionist
miners, they being fired upon by
strikers. The guards returned the
fire with two volleys, killing Cisto
Croci and wounding Chris Kokich,
who died later.

UNITED STATES WILL BROOK NO INTERFERENCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2g.--
On the eve of the Mexican elections
officials here expect no relief, as a
result, and believe that further com
plications are unavoidable, They ex-
pect no candidate to receive the neces-
sary majority, thus continuing Huerta
in power.
Until the election is over, it is re-
ported from the state department, the
United States will do nothing. but
thereafter will act speedily.
1t is said the president will send
a personal representative to the con-

declaring that the United States will
not brook interference in policing

United States desired the approval of
foreign nations in her policy toward
Mexico, but, he said, wherever the
American policy differes from that of

pose that the administrations policy
is drifting one. The president has
well defined his purposes, and is pre-

these purposes effective"

Our friend, F. E. Simpson, who has
been visiting US from Delta county,
left last Friday for Arizona points
with his four big horses. While he
was here we figured with him as to
the cost of his water on his Delta
county ranch, and it footed up $500
per acre per year. Do not under
stand that Simpson was kicking On
the high price of his water, for such
was not the case. The only deduct
ion he drew was the picnic the Monte
yuma valley farmer had in compari-
son with water at half the cost and
prices for products higher. While
here he heard man beefing about
"the awful water tax" in this valley
and the joke was so good that he had
to tell US about it. Here is thrifty
rancher cheerfully paying twice the
price we pay, and with a poorer mar
ket. Delta potatoes are bringing 75c.
Here they are s150. And next year
the price of water will be but s2.75

The writer enjoys reading items

which he finds every week. If some
of those farmers from the districts

mentality needed judicial investiga-
tion. Below is the item, from the
Grand Junction News:
According to budget said to have
been made up by directors of the
East Palisade Irrigation district,
which embraces tract of land across
the bridge from Palisade known as
Vineland, the water assessments per
acre will be raised $2.47 this year,
making a total of seas.
This will be higher assessment
than Orchard Mesa water users pay,
according to reports, the assessment
on the mesa last year being 1880,
which it is believed will be somewhat
less this year.

above Clifton, last year are reported
to have been about $16.50.-Monte-
