BIG GAME is INCREASING
WITHIN STATES BORDERS

DENVER, May l9.-A census of
game animals on the national forests
in Colorado, taken during the past
winter, showing a general increase
over the 1914 count for all species,
excepting antelopes, is indicated by
a report submitted by the district
forester to the United States biolo-
gical survey.
According to the report there are
j,97l elk in the state, an increase
Of II per cent over the preceding
year; 1882 mountain sheep, an in
crease of five per cent; % ante
.ope, decrease of II per cent; 21,501
olack tailed deer, nine per cent
Increase; 60 white tailed deer, 20 per
ent increase; 1925 beaver, 16 per
.ent increase; 500 black and brown
oears, IL per cent increase; and 1876
liver tip bears, an increase of one
Der cent. The decrease in the num-
er of antelope is ascribed by for
st officers to the fact that the an
elope range is almost wholly with
put the national forests, making the
'Stimate unreliable. 1t is believed
lowever, that the total number is
gradually decreasing, due to the fenc-
ng up of former range.
During the past three years PTS
,ead of elk have been shipped into
he state from the region of the Vel
owstone national park, thru co-opera
ion between the biological survey
ailroads, local residents and organ
aations, and the forest service. Ac-
ording to the district forester, these

vote for substitute which would
mean the end of legislation and thus
deprive the people who have given
years OF careful study to this sub
ject, the opportunity to have desired
legislation"
Inc senate bill provides for first
year appropriation of S5,000,000, and
an increase each year of that amount
until 25,O00,O00 is reached, or a
grand total of s75,000,000. The
states contribute like amount, and
this $l50,000,000 is expended in the
several states on whatever roads a
state highway department and the
secretary OF agriculture mutually
agree. The house bill called for an
annual appropriation which should
not exceed $25,000,000. 1t was gem
orally admitted that any appropria-
ton should start with comparative
ly small amount and then gradually
expand as the efficacy of the ar
rangement was demonstrated.

The Berlin critics believe that the

WHAT OTHERS THINK
ABOUT NEW STATE ROAD

Altho the San Juan people realize
IN a way what the new state high
way means to the southwestern part
Of the state it will require the publ
cation Of the comments made by peo
pie who live outside our territory in
order that we fully appreciate the
5ignificance of this new highway.
Sometimes we are want to feel that
we are more interested than are 9TH
ers who are not present to see what
going on. However, owing to the
TACT that much publicity has been
given to this new road it is now
evident that the people of the whole
country are taking interest in it.
1t means this that our people should
not only look after this highway but
we must look after those conditions
that will be considered by the tour
lists who arrive for the purpose OF
making a report on what they have
seen in the San Juan country.
They are coming. We have been
loing our best to prepare the minds
Of all San Juan people. Many things
should be done by our people. Our
people can show the tourists n great
deal, but it must be remembered that
many of them will have their time
limited and everything must be made
convenient for them to see and to ur-
ierstand.
Tourists want good roads, good
roads, good camping places and they
want diversion in the way of amuse-
ments. They will want to fish for
-rout. Have the San Juan people
done all they can do in making this
section attractive to the tourist fish
ermen? People who travel as rule
expect to spend some money. Now
is the time for all our people to
consider how they best can entertain
The travellers and visitors.
1t will be interesting to read be
low what C. A. Ball, who is now in
oklahoma, has to say along these
lines
Mountain View, oklo., May Is, 1916.
Mr.. l. j. Bradford, Sec,
Durango, Colo.
Dear Sir:
You could hardly realize how
many people are waiting for this
famous route to open, it certainly
will mean great thing for the the
San Juan basin, and still more when
the highway is put across from
Shiprock to Gallup.
More tourists are travelling by
auto this spring than ever was known
before. How is the weather back
there? Awful hot and dry here.

Sunday afternoon Rev. w. N. Cour-

of his regular service in Durango.
The school is getting together ma
terial for museum and already has
good start. We wish especially to
get specimens of minerals and ores
found in the southwest, and would be
glad to get any good specimens that
friends Of the school may have, to-
gether with information as to name,
mineral content, value, locality, etc.
This information, together with the
name of donor will be recorded on
card placed with the specimens. We
would be glad to hear from any one
having specimens to spare, and will
be glad to pay the transportation

Inspiration for Gift Purchasers.

People who believe gift should
be as genuine and enduring as the
sentiment it expresses will find what
they are seeking at the Taylor &
Raymond jeweliy store. To make
tangible expression of good wishes
to brides, graduates, members of the
family and intimate friends with a
cheaply made or unworthy article
surely is especially in view
Of the fact that appropriate articles
of evident merit are SO easily pur-
chased. Even tho you care to spend
only small amount you surely can
find ideal tokens at this store, and
surely no establishment anywhere in
this part of the west shows richer
gifts of the better sort. Among the
articles featured are diamond, pre-
cious stone and gold jewelry, pearls,
pearl necklaces and collars, chains,
hair ornaments and pins, jeweled
watches and watch bracelets, extra
flat gold watches for men, silver
and gold tableware, opera, field and
marine glasses, stationery, library
and smokers articles, travelling and
shopping bags, toilet articles in sill
yer, gold and ivory, hall, mantle and
travelling clocks and mantle sets in
period designs.

COMMENTS OF CONGRESSMEN
ON GOOD ROADS BILL

Senator Borah of Idaho has com
mented thus upon the subject: when
you take into consideration the
amount of roads which must be built
in the United States, the amount
which is appropriated in this bill is
infinitesimal compared to what will
finally be appropriated for that pur-
pose. 1t is simply a step in the right
direction"
In conclusion of the discussion OF
the Senate bill. Senator Smoot of
Utah sought the adoption of the So
called Bourne substitute, form Of
loaning national credit to states 50
they could issue road bonds that
would be replaced by federal bonds.
Senator Townsend of Michigan,
who in a previous congress had been
favorable to the Bourne plan, prac-
tically concluded its chances in a
speech in which he said:
81 did advocate the Bourne bill
several years ago, and at that time
believed of we could start 1T under
normal conditions, it might have been
made to work. 1t would require a
change of laws in many of the states
and constitutional amendments in
others before it could be put into
operation. That, of course, would re-
quire considerable time; in some in
stances, years. We are proposing to
spend the money belonging to the
people of the various states. Their
experts have passed upon this sub
ject, and ! think with quite as much
intelligence as theorists in the SEN
ate have done. Therefore, being in
favor of good roads Legislation and
being convinced the bill before us is
practical and economical and means

FEDERAL BUILDING IN
SIGHT FOR DURANGO

For several years the Durango peo-
pie have been anxious about the time
that work would begin on the pro-
posed new federal building on Main
avenue and Eleventh street.
Several years ago the law was pass
ed providing for a suitable building
here. 1t has been claimed from time
to time that there were several hun
dred buildings planned ahead of our
building, and that it must take its
turn. 1t seems that there has been
unusual government red tape which
has kept the matters in the back
ground.
Recently we gave publication to the
fact that a bill appropriating $4,000
ior immediate construction had been
introduced in congress. This gave
the San Juan people new hopes
Since then it has been believed that
work will be begun this year.
There are some who feel inclined
to believe that the congress has held
these matters back for political pur-
poses, and some go so far as to claim
that the whole thing is political
farce so far as anything immediate
is concerned.
However that may be, we are in
clined to believe from the following
telegram that work will be commenc-
ed on the federal building in the
near future.

According to news received from

earlier than last, ana continue his
operations as long as weather condi-

cover ruins of more importance this
season.
