Semi-weekly herald., 1914-04-09

of TERRA Amarillo are planning to
install an electric light plant at their
place of business. B. E. Hooker went
out there today to figure on the
proposition.
DR.. William Schumacher returned
last night from Pagosa Junction
where he was called to inspect
sheep that were being driven from
their winter range in New Mexico to
their summer range in Colorado.
Mrs. +. Douglas and daughter
came over from Mancos last night
after their new Hupmobile, which
arrived in the special auto train ear
ly yesterday morning. R. C. Moser,

them.
Jack" Slattery was guest at the
Strater last night on his return from
California where he spent several
months hearing about the wonderful
climate the state, that is the mecca
fer all tourists, always has on tap.
Occasionally the beautiful" is only
appreciated by the hotel keepers and
real estate man.
N. F. Cooke left for Denver this
morning on business connected with
the sale of properties in the Cave
Basin district. Since the Gillette
Safety Razor company has consid-
cred the camp of sufficient import
ance to invest quite heavily there
and to appropriate large sum of
money for development work, other
companies are anxious to get in on
the ground floor of the district that
prmises to be second Leadville.
1t is amusing to those at close
range to read the Democrat quoting
kirkpatrick on its wonderful press
report. We're he on the ground and
read the Denver papers upon their
arrival and the next morning have
the seme matter dished up, he would
recall the days gone by when he said,
"He carried clothespin to put on his
nose when he was about to meet any
of the Democrat outfit" How some
peoples tastes do change. The DEM
ocrat is very much worried over The
Herald advertising patronage. For
appearance, the Herald has not car
ried the Thomson rocker sale ad-
yertisement for two days after the
sale date was announced.
Dr. A. B. Sanderson, who commit
ted suicide in Salida last week by
shooting himself through the temple,
was well known in La Plata county,
having served the Bayfield,, Oxford
and Florida Presbyterian churches in
the capacity of pastor for a number
of years. An acute attack Of melan-
cholia was supposed to have been the
cause of his rash act. Since the
death of his wife sixteen months ago,
he had been subjected to these at
tacks and he feared he was losing his
mind DR.. Sanderson was a finely
educated man, an interesting, forcible
and sympathetic speaker. He gave
up the pulpit in order to devote his
entire time to his invalid wife. When
she was taken, all interest in life for
him seemed to cease.
