information that the unfortunate
young man had died. At this time
no definite information has reached
the bereaved family. The sister, Mrs.
Maggie Huggins, wired the coroner
to have the body prepared for burial
and shipped to Silverton. The father,
Jack Dryer, came up from Durango
a few days ago, and is awaiting the
arrival of the body. Clyde Dryer was
Silverton born and reared boy,
having been born here in July, 1888.
A few weeks ago he and Alex Baus-

and went directly to Telluride, and
from there to Salt Lake City. The

TALES OF THE TELEGRAPH.

Mrs. Patrick Murphy, wife of a
New York policeman, is jealous of
her husband. The Murphys have six
children, and Mrs. Murphy does her
own work, but she finds time to
watch Pat. One morning lately she
caught him twice talking to the same
woman. By the time she was through
arguing with her husband, Mrs. MUIR
ply had lost her hat and four but
tons were torn off from her basque.
Finally Patrick Murphy arrested his
wife, and took her to the police court.
Mrs. Lora Wagner, of New York,
get her picture in the New York pa
pers as frequently as Billie Burk, the
actress, used to get hers in the
magazines. The reason the New York
papers are exploiting Mrs. Lora
Wagner is that she is one of the
army Of New York school teachers
who insist upon teaching school when
the stork has notified her to remain
at home. Mrs. Wagner wants a leave
of absence. The school board will
not grant it. The school board thinks
that Mrs. Wagner's prospective po-
sition of being a mother will inter-
fere with her duties as teacher.
Mrs. Wagner is indignant. She says
"the very idea, what is this world
coming to if babies are to keep a
woman from teaching school," So
Mrs. Wagner is going to school every
day, and the reporters write her up
every day.

result one way or the other. All that
we desire to say is to vote your con-
victions. If you favor trouble and
then more trouble and one-sided
state administration, then vote for
Patterson, Brake, Kenehan and can
didates OF similar caliber You know
the agitators, and trouble breeders
are for them. This Of itself should
be convincing. If you are Demo-
crat this is the time to cast aside
partisanship; if you are opposed to
prohibition remember Carlson as gav-
ernor cannot interfere with present
laws. OF course if the state goes dry
Carlson will win by big majority
along with the rest Of the state
ticket, but it is present laws one
must look to and again we reiterate
that a governor cannot change them
or interfere with the sale Of intoxi-
cants in any manner. OF course we
take it for granted you are against
anarchists and those who wilfully and
openly advocate violation of law and
to this end will see that Brake is not
elected secretary of state. Kenehan
is raw but Brake is the limit.
AS for Senator Thomas it must rest
with you. If you want to vote for
some one who will do the bidding Of
the Washington administration in
stead of standing up for Colorado
interests, then vote for Thomas.
Thomas is failure so far as Colo
RADIO is concerned. He stands for ev-
erything Wilson wants and for his
relatives. Decide the Thomas matter
and if you think he is the one to elect
check his name. On the other hand
il you want representative in the
United States senate from this state
who will put state first and politics
second and will raise his voice in pro-
test when such agitators as Lindsey,
Pearl Jolly and Mother" Jones tour
the east decrying our good name,
then see that you check the name of
Work.
AS for the local county ticket we
consider Harry McDevitt one of the
most important men to elect because
we should send some one to the leg
islature who will be against freak
and so-called Shafroth reform poll
cies that have cost the taxpayers
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
plunged the state almost into bank
ruptcy. If you desire to have your
taxes raised every year to increase
the number of boards and bureaus
and travelling political boosters who
are then do not vote for McDevitt.
Next, if you want county COM
missioner from the farming section
you will see that Greer is on your
ticket. If you want Durango to hog
it and especially have three commits
sioners then vote for the Democratic
nominee. This is something to study
we'll.
1t is not necessary to go into detail
regarding the Republican nominees
for the rest of the positions-they are
well and favorably known and we feel
confident you are going to vote for
them.

SOME THOUGHTS FOR SUNDAY
DIGESTION.

The campaign will come to close
in couple of days-in fact, is prac-
ticaliy closed now, and It is safe to
say that at least twenty-four out Of
every twenty-five voters have made
up their minds whom they want to
see elected and tomorrow many will
take the sample ballot and official
list Of nominations and mark their
ticket. Therefore, there is little we
or anyone else can say to change the

Missouri will vote next Tuesday on
the county unit proposition. 1t is an
other step in the line of liquor prohi-
bition. 1t is now possible for the
country districts of county to vote
dry" while the county seat remains
wet" If the county unit carries the
tail will go with the hide. Counties
must be all dry or wet 1t is ex-
pected, however, that in most Of the
counties the "dry" vote in the coun-
try precincts will close the saloons in
the towns.

lature and assist in getting rid Of
the useless boards created by the
Shafroth reform administration and
the useless employees who are falling
over each other In the state house.

CONSTRUCTION OF ICE BOAT
For Use on Lakes and Wide Rivera
Craft Has No Equal-Three
Boys Can Build One.

The ice boat shown in this sketch
runs directly before the wind, with a
square sail as shown in the picture.
A three-cornered sail may be used,
but 1t is harder to manage. The
frame work of the craft consists OF
two two-inch planks, which are laid
across each other as in Fig. 2. Fig. 3
shows the under part of the top plank
at the rear end Note how the planks
are jointed and bracked with wire.
The steering is done with the rear
single runner. The lower part of Fig.
3 shows how 1t is made. A bolt in the
center of "a" fits in hole in the CEN
ter Of &C." not so tightly as to inter
fere with the free motion OF the steer.
ing runner. The bottom OF the run
ners should be shod with fat iron.
Half round or round iron will not do.
The mast is three inches In diameter
by six feet long. The sail Is six feet
by four feet. The mast is braced by
running two stout wires from the top
to the cross plank. The sail is con.
trolled by wooden handle bar. For
use on lakes and wide rivers this boat
has no equal, writes Moses La Bonn.

CRABS ROOT UP sAPLINes
Certain Species on Island Also steal
Eggs From Under Sitting
Hens.

London.-Some interesting facts re-
specting the destructiveness of certain
species of crabs in Grand Cayman, an
island in the British West Indies, ap-
pear in bulletin just issued from the
Royal Botanic gardens at Kew and
written by T. NJ S. English, who has
lived there three years.
The edible crab, he says, grows to
a considerable size, an old male be-
ing sometimes six inches across and
having its larger claw no less than
IA inches in length from its junction
with the body to the end of its
Jaws" The female has smaller
claws. but apparently they are most
destructive.
They are great burrowers and can
nibals. too. In places where they
abound nothing is safe from them.
They will take into their holes things
for which they cannot conceivably find
a use-a knife, for instance or a peck.
ct compass. They will eat the eggs
from under sitting hen, If not the
hen herself, as readily as the leaves of
scouting SOSodHut LISSb, anu OL THESE
from six to ten per cent. have to be
replaced if they are planted in newly
cleared ground before the crabs have
been very thoroughly thinned out !
They are responsible for frequent
patches of bare soil in the bush"
which become covered with vegetation
when the crabs are gone.
During the drier months of the early
part of the year they go underground
to change their shells and add to their
destructiveness by barricading the
mouths of their holes with masses OF
sticks and rubbish like jackdaws
nests, nipping off or roofing up sap
lings as much as three-quaf:ers of an
inch in diameter for the purpose.
