Hello, Durango, sunkissed city,

tains of snow have tousled your hair
the least bit or if you are as "chic"

Hence it seems to me that the
first duty of congress is to see that
the 81 ships now under construction
or authorized for the American navy
are completed and made available at
the earliest possible moment. Prep
arations which do not materalize for
five years would not avail us if any
thing of our danger is present one.
Either we are not in danger or

and thruout the country people were
led to believe conditions were simply
terrible. At Holdrege Nebraska, the
papers reported snow 10 feet deep in
the streets of Durango according to a
letter received from that place. If
the news sent from other sections of
the country where storms have pre-
vailed has been as unreliable, there
is not much use wasting sympathy
on the country where storms have
prevailed. But guess Durango is the
only place where the correspondents
misrepresent.

LAST OF THE GOVERNOR
HUNTS PASSES AWAY

Last Sundays Denver Post had a
story suggested by the recent death
oil Bert Hunt whose boyhood days,
with his younger brother, Bruce, were
spent In Alamosa, in the late seven
ties and early eighties.
Albert c. Hunt, all old timers will
remember, is the elder son of Cover
nor A. c. Hunt, governor of Colo
rad0 IN the late sixties, appointed by
President johnson. Governor Hunt
conceived the Denver d. Rio Grande
railroad and raised the money to
build 1t from the time the first rail
was laid, until it reached Silverton,
In the great San Juan, five hundred
miles distant. The editor of the En-
pire recalls a beautiful early morn
ing in May, '79, when Governor Hunt
in his board office on Hunt avenue,
Aismosa, said to his school day com
rade, b. A. Chubbuck, Of the pioneer
town Parrott City, in La Plata noun
tains.
"Well, Club, you d. old fool, I'm
going this morning to Laredo, Tex
as, and from there to New York to
raise ten million to build your d.
road to the San Juan"
The fall of that year witnessed the
beginning Of construction on to Sill

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-H. ]. Doherty
manager Of the University club has
ntlmated that a missing employe of
the club placed arsenic in the soup

That 1t contained arsenic.

snow and cold weather? There is no
mystery in it. No complicated tech
nical terms are necessary to answer
In nut shell, the whole local sit
uation is due to the fact that the US
ual storms of this time of the year
have taken a new track and are pass
ing little south of us. instead of a
little north of US.
Usually in January and February
series of storms travel along the
Canadian border, finding their way
out thru the st. Lawrence region.
This year has seen the exception.
The storms have shifted from the
Canadian border to .ravel over
Oregon and northern California to a
point at about Boise. Idaho, and then
out by way of the st. Lawrence val
ley. This has given US northerly
winds.
The southwesterly winds Of the
past have given us mild weather and
rains. This years northerly winds
have meant cold and snow, and then
more cold and snow.
How long will it last? AS long as
the storms continue over their pres
, ent course and we continue to have
these northerly winds"
May the storms that have wandered
away from the old and well beaten
trails, return from their wanderings,
say we.
