Congressman Keating's political
buncom fell by the wayside His
resolution for a congressional inves-
tigation of the labor troubles in Colo-

their own affairs is the proper thing
to do.
Miss Anna Croker, a former Du-
range girl who now calls Denver
home, was bound for Shiprock this
morning to visit her sister, Mrs. Ag-
mes Crocker Rodgers. Miss Croker
has been in Durango since Wednes
day renewing the acquaintance of old
time friends.
C. d. Clark, the real estate man,
came in from Colorado Springs last
night en- route to Pennington. Mr..
Clark recently made trip to his old
home in Oklahoma, expecting to re-
main three months, but weather con-
ditions were so unpleasant three days
proved quite long enough.
Outside the demoralized telephone
service Durango is suffering little in
convenience as the result of the
storm. The electric light company
have all circuits in working order.
The telephone company are hasten
ing repairs but at best several days
will elapse before the service is re-

Relative to the latest hopes for a
southern outlet, the Pennington En-
terprise saws: 1--WE are informed
that the $125,0O0 asked by Herbert
Green to pay the French government
in obtaining the railroad loan, has
been sent away, which is another i'm
portant step in the development of
the proposed railroad"
We failed to mention in our Sat
urday's issue the results of the bas-
ket ball contest between the Mancos
and Durango boys, which proved
such wonderful victory for the To-
Gals, the score being 10 to 40. The
visiting team are certain when the
Durango boys play on the Mancos
floor they will not have as many
scores to their credit.
1t appears that Utah sheepmen are
not entertaining the most kindly feel
ing toward Colorado wool growers
over the matter of dipping sheep.
Thousands of head of Colorado sheep
have been driven into Utah for the
winter, and, according to reports, not
one of the number has been dipped.
The fault seems to be with the Utah
board of stock commissioners, who
are given the power of enforcing the
law.
Judge Searcy and District Attor-
ney George Lane are home from Cor

ferred against him and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for term not
less than two years or not to exceed
five.
Deputy United States Marshal Tom
Clark is in the city on business con-
nected with the Earl Turner case.
Turner, who was arrested on the
charge of bootlegging, was given a
hearing before Justice Cameron of
Ignacio. He was placed under bonds
and is to appear before Deputy Uni
ted States Commission Neil Camp.
The officers sent for him today and
he is expected in the city before
evening.
The Denver and Rio Grande South
ern road was opened at late hour
last evening but the Telluride bound
train was returned to Durango from
Rico. The prospects for the removal
of the blockade were so favorable the
train was held at Rico for many
hours. Just as the road seemed
clear a flanger was derailed, and all
hopes for a through train abandoned.
Tonight the first train from Tellur-
ide since Friday evening is due in
Durango one and one half hours late.
