cents, his prediction having been based
in part on the then existing market
price of 575s. Mr.. House says: II
am now, in the face of latest devel-
opments quite willing to raise my
maximum limit to 70 cents. The
terribly unsettled finances in Euro
pc must, before a great while, bring
a substantial rehabilitation of silver
in all the leading nations of the
earth. Coming events cast their shad-
ows before. Such is the thought that
close study of the silver market
and of finances must evoke in the
mind of every keen observer. If the
price crosses 60 cents, many silver
mines that have been idle for many
years vii be reopened in Colorado and
other mining states and help to create

Our school children could accom-
plish great deal for the town by
inaugurating fly determination
campaign, such as the Denver child
rem started few days ago. Thirty
thousand school folk under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Cole of the
capital city will swat the fly this
spring. In every school in the city
the evil nature of the early breeding
lily is taught. They are told that
right now is the time to swat fly in
the school and homes. Thousands
are acting in accordance and ward
ing off disease and death which stalk
thru the summer months with the
fast breeding, germ-carrying fly. The
Denver children are also doing their
part to see that manure, exposed
garbage and other filth is removed
thereby doing away with favorite
breeding places for the pests.

EARLY HISTORY ATTRACTS
ALL SAN JUAN READERS

The Herald is making an unusual
effort to connect the early history of
the San Juan country up with the
present time. 1t is our idea that the
persons who cast their lot in this
country a third of century ago
and have figured more or less in the
development of the San Juan are in
terested in recalling those events
that go to max up the history of the
country.
From practically every part of the
San Juan and from other sections of
the United States come words of ia
vorable comment on the plan. How
ever, up to date, we have informa-
ton of three unfavorable criticisms,
one coming from an editor, a second
coming from retired ranchman and
u third from politician.
To the few who would like to pro-
test against our digging out the early
events of this section we have to
say that we will guard very closely
the reputation of those who have
i helped to build the San Juan; of
those who have. been mindful of their
own business; but to those who OBJ
ject to the light of history, we warn
you that if you were fortunate en-
ough to get in to the lime light of
the wild and woolly west years ago,
you may be fortunate enough to
again get into the lime light in this
year A. d. 1916. Even tho few
may not care particularly for the
reproduction of early San Juan his
tory, it must be remembered that
since those days thousands of people
have made their way into the San
Juan and that they are curious to
know not only the men and women
who have builded prosperous coun-
try but also to know those who got
into the lime light Of the early days.

REPORTS STILL COMING.

George Weaver of the Land office
has received word from Senator
Shafroth concerning the San Juan
railway bill. The senator writes that
he is giving the matter all attention
possible and will urge at every step
the passage of the bill.
Word from A. l.. Kroeger, who is at
the oatman mining camp states that
he has taken up the matter of the
San Juan railway bill with the COM
mercial club there. They promise
to take it up with their senator's and
representative and do all they can
to push the bill thru congress.
