Colorado editors in convention at
Denver voted 81 to in favor of the
return to the old custom of exchanging
advertising space for transportation
with railroad companies. If the news
papers adhere to their regular rates
for space and the railroads exchange
transportation for same at the cash
value of mileage books, no one is done
any harm. The railroads will adver-
tise more freely and the editor will
have the means to get out and relax

A Boulder editor remarks that Trim
idad must be humdinger of town
to live in because a house was blown
up here by black-handers a few days
| ago. Just little off in your dates,
Doc. 1t was not in Trinidad. And
anyway, we notice by the papers that
more than score of your citizens
have tickled the stars with their digits
while six guns made burrows on their
ribs and sticky fingers extracted their
wallets, in the past few weeks. Every
man to his taste,' said the old man
kissing the COW. Us for the bombs.--

| William Garston and his brother
Norman left last Monday evening foc
their home at Colorado Springs. Mr..
Garston closed down the work on the
Doyle Reed oil shale claims for the
winter. He expects to resume opera
tion next May, at which time with
an increased force he will drive the
work with greater vigor and on a
larger scale. Mr.. Garston is very ops
timistic over the oil shale proposition
in this section. He is confident that in
very short time this product will ne
in great demand in the commercial field
inasmuch as the oil extracted will
supply long felt want on the Ameri-
can market.-Grand Valley News.
R. F. Mayor and wife and G. w.
! Fravert and wife came home from
Piceance creek last Monday. They left
the ranch at six clock in the morning
and arrived in Rifle about eight in the
evening. They report the most severe
winter in the history of the creek.
Snow on the range is estimated at
from four to five feet deep. The cat
! tlemen of the creek are having great
difficulty in getting feed to their stock
and many are expecting to lose large
number which they have been unable
to find in the hills on account of the
deep snow. In some cases it has been
possible to beat trails to them but the
trails would be filled up again by drift
| ing snow before they could return with
the stock. Thus the work has been
most difficult. Joe Neal has over two
hundred head out, which he has given
up as lost.-Rife Reveille.
The editor of the Silverton Miner
has the gift of optimism to marked
degree and displays it in this manner:
"The train leaves Durango some time
in the morning now, and arrives in
Silverton-when is gets here, although
it is no fault of the railroads. Snow
slides are now running everywhere,
mostly down hill, and they seem to
have an attraction for the bottom Of
canons, as they run to them and cover
them over with snow blanket from
two to 'steen feet deep and hundred
wards wide. There is now over thirty
slides down in the canon between Sill
verton and Needleton, Qess than fif-
teen miles) and SO soon as way can
be made through these piles of run.
away snow, the trains will come into
l6ilverton. The Fourth of July is com
ing, but we hope the train will get
here first. The telephone and tele-
graph lines between here and Durango
are down, and the only lines in COM
munication with the outside are the
phone lines from here to Ouray and to
Telluride, and these are likely to be put
out of commission at any time now."
