her honors gracefully, of being the
first child born in Durango.
The happy evXent occurred on Mon

We have noticed an unusual num-

OF the young ladies domicile for a

probably had not seen an infant for
twenty years; old miners who would
part with their last nugget for the

all wended their way to see the new

Ignacio who was encamped three
or four miles below town Wednesday
en- route for the Southern Ute agency
with the women and children and old
men, flocks and herds of the tribe
admit that the young bucks have gone
to join the White River Utes. The
willy savage claims that he does not
want war himself but if it is forced
upon him he will fight until his last
warrior is slain. The young men of
the tribe are on the war path while
those who are useless in war are
handed over to the government to

fighting the government. Ignacio

first half of the second quarter
amounts to $600.00- an increase of
business within six weeks of 100 per
cent. The business is now sufficient
to entitle it to be ranked as second
class postoffice and to be classed as
money order office. The rules of
the department, however, require an
office to be established year before
it can be eligible as a money order
office.
Through the exertion of Mr.. Char

Durango placed on the list of propos-
