OF opposition on the part of the Navy
department to have claims to lands in
the naval oil reserves in California and
wyoming turned over to the claimants.
Inc Navy Department has insisted that
the new fuel oil vessels demand an enor-

Kept intact. On the other hand. the

MADE entry on these oil reserves in
good faith and invested thousands of
dollars in them before the lands Were
Withdrawn from entry and declared

Under the caption Campaign Lie
Nailed" this mornings issue of the
yellow mud singer, tries in its, poor
weak way, to convey the impression
that the Herald misrepresented facts
when we claimed that Roosevelt's
majority in Kansas was 100000. In
our article we were speaking of Re-
publican chances, and when mention
ing Roosevelt's majority, quite natur-
ally referred to the time, and the
only time that he ever had major
ity, and when he was running on the
Republican ticket for president, and
the only time that he ever ran on the
Republican ticket for President,
namley in 1904, when the Republican
party was together as it is today.
In that year, Roosevelt polled 210,893
votes in Kansas, Parker polled 84,-
800 votes, giving Roosevelt plural
ity, to be exact of 126,093. Not so
far off for guess Ell? OF course,
that our article might fall within
radius of the limited comprehension
Of the jackass who runs the morning
yellow, we might have specially
stated, that we did not refer to Roos-
evelt's majority, in the year that he
did not have any majority, and when
he WAS not the Republican candidate.

DURANGO EXCHANGE NOTES.

The San Juan railway bill will not
be called out of committee until con-
gress convenes in December. This
decision was reached by the public
service committee and the directors
of the Exchange. Congressman Tay-
lor very strongly advises this course,
also. He sets forth that thousands
of bills are on the calendars of the
two branches of congress, having to
do with national defense and pre-
paredness; that members of congress
are anxious to get home for the fall
election, and if the San Juan railway
bill were to be forced at this time,
it would meet certain defeat. By
allowing it to stay on the committee
calendar until the second session of
this congress, there is a chance to
get it considered and perhaps pass
ed as rider on some other national
preparedness bill. This is the only
chance it has, in the opinion Of Mr..
Taylor.

annually. Why not otir section? Are
our farmers in the business of rails

The answer is too plain. And yet

tion of Colorado. What we need
most seems to be right ideas, both

spinach are much superior to that
vegetable, says Mr.. Allen, and the
white stems, when cut into small

pleasing. The chard grows very SIM
