FORMER DURANGO
BOY IS DROWNED
Stuart Sarber Willingly Gives Life in Brave but
Vain Attempt to Save Girl from Drowning
Girl was Complete Stranger to Sarbef

Stuart Sarber, only son Of Rev
and Mrs. o. B. Sarber, was drowned
in the White river, Thursday evening
July 2, in an unsuccessful effort tc
save girl from drowning. Stuart
resided in Durango from the time he
was six until his twelfth year, dur.
ing the time his father was pastor
of the Baptist church. He was g
manly little fellow, well liked by peo-
pie of all ages. His untimely pass.
ing will bring sorrow to every one
who shared his acquaintance.
The following account of the ac-
cident appeared in the Indianapolis
News of Friday, July 3:
Frank Stuart Sarber, age 10, who
lost his life in a futile, but brave at
tempt to rescne Miss Benice Merrill
Gibson, age II, from drowning in
White river, near Riverside park
Thursday night, was, in the eyes OF
his mother, Mrs. Oliver B. Sarber, a
martyr to the impulses with which
nature had endowed him. Her belief
grows out of the quiet, but earnest
statement made to her more than a
year ago by Frank, after her son had
been one of the first arrivals on the
scene of a drowning, also in River
side park. A girl had been drowned
while her escort looked on, powerless
to assist her.
:. Mother" said the boy, "I would
rather die myself than stand idly by
and watch helpless woman sink be-
meath the waves"
4 Last night Sarber's opportunity tc
ssprove what he had advocated came tt
MIN. Calamity he accepted the chance
--and went down in the attempt Sar-
ber is the son of the Rev. Oliver B
Sarber, superintendent of the Baptis,

Ohio State Board
| Hits Private Profit

COLUMBUS, o., July 8.-The day
of private profit in state work is pass
ing. The Ohio state board of admin
istration has struck it two body blows
First the board decided to stock its
farms with cattle, hogs, sheep, poul-
try and the like. With this as a
start it began the construction of
creamerics to furnish dairy products
to all state institutions.
- Then slauehters4housc were plan
ned to furnish meats. Now it is
planned to open cannery to can
vegetables and fruits raised on state
farms, for winter use.
The second step was taken when
the board announced that it was
ready to award its last contracts for
buildings to private parties.
Hereafter the state will use prison
labor on all of its buildings. The
state now has brick plant in opera
tion with convicts in charge and con-
victs at work under the honor sys-
tenn.

JOHN fSTfY
DROPS DEAD
AT HOTEL.

John Estey, aged II, an old-time
resident of the Silverton section, died
very suddenly today at 1890 at the
Hotel Savoy, where he had made his
oome since early in December. For
one of his advanced age, he appeared
to enjoy unusually robust health, oft
en- remarking that his only physical
trouble was rheumatism of the knee
which at times made it difficult for
him to walk any distance. Yester-
day he was in excellent condition and
the best of spirits. Last night he
sat up until late hour, visiting with
guests in the hotel. This morning he
was not quite as well as usual but
spent most of the time around the
office amusing little Charles Wilmer
child that he loved dearly. After
lunch, he started to his room, and on
the way he was stricken with what
appeared to be fainting spell. In
an instance the end came.
Mr. Estey was natlve OF New
Brunswick, where the family was
prominently identified with the politi-
cal life of the county. For years he
resided in the west, mining being his
occupation.
He is survived by four children, one
son is resident of Wisconsin, an
r
other of British Columbia and two
daughters make their home in Massa.
chusetts. His wife has been dead
about four years.
The charitable, kindly and compan.
ionable man will be missed by all who
knew him. He is one of the few OF
whom it can be truthfully said, ale
spoke only good of his fellowmen.'

Summer Resort for
MaSOns is Planned
CONTINUED on Page ~

= ALAMOSA, Colo, July s.-A sum-
mer resort in the heart of the Rock
les for members of the Masonic order
where they could come during the hot
months and fish and hunt to their
hearts content. This dream of the
Masons of the San Luis valley is
nearing realization and the way now
seems clear for its completion before
this time next year. In May deal
was consummated whereby the San
Luis Valley Masonic association, Inc.
bought track of 100 acres of land
lying four miles north of South Fork
Colo, on the Rio Grande river in the
heart of the mountains. The lant
lies along both sides of the river with
mountains, rugged and tree-covered
reaching up from both sides.
1t is hoped that Masons from al
parts of the country, especially from
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming will be
interested. Under the articles of in.
corporation the land will be divided
into small tracts or lots and sold tt
Masons exclusively for the purpos,
of erecting summer cottages. The
lots will be sold at cost, only enough
being added to the price to rails,
funds to improve the grounds.

Dairymen and stockmen throughout

Investigation by the agricultural
department Of the Rock Island rail-
road, conducted by Prof. H. n. Cot

Victor H. Schoffelmaysr, sditsr of
the Southwest Trail, brought to light
that probably 1000 head Of cattle and
a like number Of sheep and otAsr

$50. 900. perishsd from exposure ard
lack of feed.
In every instance investigated not
single head Of stock was lost
where farmer had fed silags e
his COWS. At an average cost Of

would have been sufficient to have
dug 1000 silos. Prof. Cottrell has
been here recently investigating con-
ditions and the August number Of the
Southwest Trail will be devoted 70 pit
silos. In all there are about 90 ~
silos in this county but srrangsmsnts

Publicity Best Weapon
Of Vice Crusaders

| CHICAGO, July Shaking public
the names of owners of property used
for immoral purposes has been the
most effective method of fighting
commercialized prostitution in Chi
cago, according to the report made
today by Superintendent S. p Thrash
er of the Committee of Fifteen"
that has bene waging war on i'm
moral resorts.
at is admitted by all who are in a
position to know that the old vice
district on the south side is practi-
cally closed,' said Thrasher's report.
at would be folly to say that vice
has been obliterated, but some Of the
most notorious resorts are included
in the $50 houses of i'll fame, assig-
nation and disorderly saloons which
have been put out of business in the
last year.
"In these 45O houses of i'll fame,
there were, according to conservative
estimates, 1000 professional prosti-
tutes, an average of five per house.
"a conservative estimate as to the
gross income would be $40 per day
per woman, which would mean $780,
900 daily or the snug sum of $780,
900 in single year. l have no hesi-
fancy in saying that at least 80 per
cent of this amount was paid to about
1,500 keepers, runners, pimps and
panderers, the male exploiters of
these women. No wonder that the
vice interests are in a panic when
several millions of dollars have been
taken away from them by this COM
mittee.
"The chief weapon used lh this
warfare has been publicity. The pub
fishing of the names of the owners of
real estate in connection with the
keepers of immoral resorts has had a
four-fold effect; it has made it much
harder for keepers of immoral re-
sorts to find safe abiding places; ii
has stimulated the administration
and the police department to greater
activity and it has thrown the vice
interests into panic.
II am well aware of the statements
being industriously circulated to the
effect that the breaking up of the
vice district is sending prostitutes into
respectable neghiborhoods. -. x
"That is not true to any such ex-
tent as is generally believed. That
many professional prostitutes have
taken up their abode in residential
districts is true, but it is also true
that the district they left is largely
residential and the pity of it is that
residents Of that district are poor and
unable to protect themselves against
an entrenched system of vice which
has been more or less officially estab-
lished and maintained.
"The more well-to-do and respect
able neighborhood is, the better
equipped it is to prevent inroads Of
vice.
But it must be apparent that no
such villainous system Of prostitution
can be practiced in any residential
district as was in vogue in the red
light district where from ten to 100
women were plying their trade under
one roof"

PUTTING UP HAY

that tugs SO wearily from morn till
