If the counting of the votes goes
off as expected the names of the
winners will be published in next
Tuesdays paper. The happiest ladies
in the state will be the ones who read
in the Durango Evening Herald that
they have won a prize.
The votes of the various candi-
dates will be published. Since the
last count of votes there has been an
avalanche of ballots each day. The
uncertainty has stimulated every
contestant in the race to increase her
vote by every possible ballot, for
each has realized that her rival was
doing the very same thing.
The battle of ballots has been wag-
ed at heart breaking pace the last
few days. OF course, there will be
surprises and disappointments when
the final results are announced.
Some contestant may lose the covet-
ed prize by just few votes, and
some may win by very small mar
gin.
Each contestant should work this
last day so that, If she is defeated
she will have no regrets over a fail

THE SOUTHERN UTES
AS FARMERS

One of the most interesting dis
plays at the annual Colorado-New
Mexico Fair, just closed was the ag-
ricuItural exhibit OF the Southern
Ute Indians at Ignacio. The display
was in charge of Supt. Walter &.
West, and a large portion of it will
be sent by Mir. West to the meeting
of the National Irrigation Congress
which will be held in FL Paso, Texas,
in the near future.
The Indians took LIST, End, and 3rd,
prizes in White oats, LIST, End, and
Ord prizes on Soft Spring wheat, LIST
2nd, and 3rd prizes on hard Red
Spring wheat, lst, End, and 3rd prize
on Mexican beans, 2nd prize on
White Dent corn, grown without ir-
rigation, 3rd prize on BeardIess Bar
ley, LIST. prize on Onions, 1st and 2nd
pumpkin, 1st. Watermelon, Bird prize
on Cabbage, 2nd prizes on Hubbard
Squash, Chill Peppers, and Garden
Beets, alison Ind prize on Summer
prizes, and some prizes on grain in
the sheaf.
Among the list of Indian prize
winners we notice the names of Jul
ian Baker, Mary Washington, Moaw,
Fannie House, and John Russell.
The Herald agricultural editor had
great difficulty in sorting out the
pumpkins from the squash, and the
bearded barley from that which had
been shaved, nor could we dope out
unaided just what Kohl Rabi was,
but a fair Indian Damsel by the
name of Fannie House, came to our
rescue, and showed us in few words,
a grunt, a growl, and a wining
smile, many things about farm
that we never suspected. We never
met Fannie before and don't know
whether she's married or single, but
we're strong for her. If we had a
wife like her we could raise pump
kins too.
The Indian exhibit, as a whole was
out of the ordinary, it was superla-
lively, fine a credit to the Indians, a
mute testimonial to the quality of
La Plata County soil, and splendid
tribute to the persevering labors of
Superintendent West, and his corps
of able assistants. The Red Man is
taught TO do these things only at
the expense of untiring effort, the
exercise of infinite patience. Con-
gratulations, Supt. West.

DIR. and Mrs. Fewkes To Make
Homeward Journey via Southern.

Durango people who had anticipat-
ed with much pleasure a visit with
DIR. Fewkes of Washington, on their
way home from Mesa Verde, learn
with regret they will not make their
journey this way. This week they
decided to make a trip to McElmo
canon on an exploring expedition in
company with Mr.. Lemon, of Texas,
an archaeologist of note and an old
time friend. After the trip they are
to return home via Montrose. DIR.
Fewkes' exploration work in the
Mesa Verde National park has been
of special interest this year because
the ruins he restored are new type,
several hundred years older than any
heretofore uncovered there.

FARMERS DESERVE CREDIT

1t is to the credit of the farmers
of La Plata county and the San Juan
that they were able to bring to the
fair such excellent quality of grains,
grasses, hogs, cattle, sheep and
horses. While the exhibit was not
SIS large as we should have from the
San Juan basin, at the same time tho
quality was of the best. You could
not 90 anywhere in this country and
find better potatoes, apples, straw
berries, grains and grasses of many
varieties.
The exhibit from Ignacio, from TT,
Lewis School and from Montezuma
county We're fine and attracted the
attention of all who took interest in
the agricultural department of the
fair. There should have been more
of those community exhibits. They
serve as the best kind of advertising
and no community can afford to over
look the real value of this kind of
business.
Altho this is not a fruit year for
the San Juan basin there was ex-
hibitod at the fair this year as fine
quality of fruit as grows anywhere,
The display along that line was GER
tainly credit to the Animas valley
people. They have some fine fruit
ranches up there that seem to be
immune from frosts.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 San Juan, P. R., Aug. 25.-Porto Rico has just completed the most prosperous year in it's history.

 tai trade of more than s1O5,OO0,0OO more than $95, 100000 was with the United States.
 There was a balance of trade in the islands favor of more than S27,OOO,- 900.

The Reply Courteous.

'"This war has/brought a great many strangers to the surface. I do not know this strange young man who dissents."
 "I am sorry you do not know me-" said the Duke Let me introduce myself as one of your colleagues of the chamber of deputies, member for L'Aube. If you have not seen me there. it is because I have been at the front and have not set my foot in the chamber since the war began
 A little later the duke returned to the front, where he is credited with one of the notable daredevil under takings of the war. While out recon noitering as cavalry lieutenant, he arrived along with his orderly at an inn where a hundred Prussian sol diers had taken possession and were 1 having a drunken orgy. Warned by a peasant, the Duke would not turn back. Entering the place brusquely, 1 and speaking in German in imperative l tones he commanded the party to ] surrender, as the house was surround ' ed on all sides.
 Surprised by the sudden apparition, i interrOgated by a firm voice of com mand, and hearing the orderly with his horses outside, the jewellers re- signed themselves, gave up their arms, and submitted as prisoners, until a | French cavalry patrol warned of what had occurred, arrived to escort the hundred prisoners of a single hero.
 This is the story, as told of the young Duke of Rohan, and passing 1 current as one of the realities of the war. That it is authentic is evident from the fact that it won him the Le- zion of Honor and placed the stamp
 of government recognition on the au- , daciOus achievement.
