Every special tax imposed by con-
gress falls upon the common people.
We remember the Western Union was
taxed one cent on every telegram,
but the corporation got around the i'm
position by making the sender pay the
bill. The railroads make the shipper
pay for the bill of lading stamps and
the poor man who borrows at the
bank has to first put up for the priv
ilege at the rate of two cents on
every hundred dollars. Great is
Democratic administration.

Mountain Lion in Range of
Car Window.

Travellers on board the Silverton
passenger Sunday morning were af-
forded the opportunity of seeing a
mountail lion in the wilds. The ami
NAL had caught his foot under rail
while crossing the track on the way
thru the canon in quest of water.
Frightened by the rumble of the ap-
preaching train he put forth sufficient
effort to extricate himself. AS the
coaches passed the spot where the lion
had been held temporary prisoner,
he was seen fleeing up the mountain
side at lively pace.

Glad he Cast his LOT in the
San Juan Basin,

John j. link, one of the progressive
farmers of the Animas valley, is home
from California where he attended
the eXpositions, visited his father in
San Diego and looked over different
parts of the state, giving especial at
tention to those conditions which in
terest agriculturalists. By way of
comparison, the San Juan basin looks
far better to him than ever before.
This, he holds, is the country of great
undeveloped resources. California is
the rlace where the resources are all
about developed. The former is the
place to make money and the latter.
he says, affords excellent opportunity
TO spend it. Mr.. link is glad he cast
his lot in the San Juan basin and
advises his neighbors to be thankful
chat they have done likewise.

Mr.. II. U. Nudge, -
President D. & R. G. Railroad,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Mr. Nudge:
We have noticed the newspaper
articles of recent date as to the
broad gauging of the line Of your
road that serves this San Juan sec
ton. This news is indeed pleasing
to the citizens Of this large and re-
sourceful region, and will result in a
rapid growth and development.
You are no doubt aware that in the
past the matter of giving broad
gauge outlet to our people has re-
peatedly been received, onty TO re-
suit in disappointment, and, we be-
lieve, actual harm to the country and
TO the interests of your railroad.
Therefore, in order that the truth
may be known and set before our
people, and to avoid the dangers of a
baseless "boom," that would strike in
discriminatory at all interests, we are
requesting that you inform US, if pos
sible, how soon your road contem-
plates actual construction of broad
gauge into the San Juan basin.
With pleasant remembrances of
your recent visit, and kindest personal
regards, we are.
Sincerely yours,
THE DURANGO EXCHANGE,
