the British reinforcements occurred

In this connection The Herald de-
sires to state that the commissioner
of this district, Chas. L. Herr, is not
to blame for the delay or the useless
work. The commission appointed one
county commissioner from each of
the counties of iRo Grande, COnejos
and Archuleta to have supervision of
the work. Last year the Archuleta
county commissioner, Mr.. Catchpole,
sat on cake of ice, realizing that
the expenditure of money by the San
Luis valley combine was practically
for naught, but the men on the other
side of the range had the backing of
the state highway commission, Mr..
Herr relying on the engineer who re-
ported so favorably on the west fork
route and backed up by Mr.. Wyman.
Mr.. Herr continued to favor the west
fork even after the investigation of
the Durango board of trade commit
tee, still relying on the statements of
the engineer and Mr.. Wyman, but
when the engineer finally had TO ad-
nit his mistake and that he had not
run his instrument over all of the pro-
posed route before making his recon-
mendations previous to this year. II

Again, much of the delay has been

would be expended until the route had

that the engineer who first O. KID

that it was impracticable to build a

way of crossing the range and very
