 at the left com
 pines a new style of
 n,iddy blouse with
 a box-plaitcd skirt.
 In the picture. it Is
 made Of white serge trimmed with
 bands of blue braid.
 The blouse is open at the front for full length and closed with buttons and buttonholcs. but it preferred, the front can be ctlt all in ono piece with the short. regulation middy opening at the neck edge. The wide belt with the laced sides makes a novel feature for it is laid in plaits and plaits also are laid at the under arms of the blouse. When they are laced closely to. gether as they are here tho hlo,yso ia perfectly adapted to ordinary needs, but since the plaits can be opened, it is easy to convert the garment to ma ternity wear.
 Every form of the plaitcd skirt is fashionable. This one is in just the fashionable width and is joined to a plain yoke that does away with full ness beneath the blouse. The model could be copied in blue serge Of in any suitable ma terial, or, the blouse could be made of serge or crepe de chine, linen. galatca to be worn over d wool skirt.
 A new blouse or shirt waist is al- ways welcome. This ono is quite novel and ex- tremely attractive. The crosswise tucks are very generally becoming and com bine most satisfac- torily with the ful- ness at the shoul- ders. The collar can be either worn as it is here or rolled with the fronts to form re- vers. The straight fen,s are joined to the front edges and the joining can be made in a way to give the effect of a box-plait or by nleaEs of hena- ,t;tching.

SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL FOR
MESA VERDE PARK

A summer school of archaeology in
Mesa Verde National park, where stu
dents from all over the country can
be addressed by DR.. Walter Fewkes
and other eminent scientists, who will
continue the work of restoration that
has been launched in the region of
the cliff dwellers, is one Of the bene-
fits Colorado will reap from the new
ly aroused public and official interest
in national parks.
The publication Of elaborate illus
trated books on the various national
parks, including Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park and the Mesa Verde, is a
government plan which also will bring
much advertising to this state. These
publications will be the most elaborate
ever printed and will bear the off
cial government stamp.
Enos Mills Returns.
These are only a few of the things
that are working out in favor Of ma
tional parks, and that will bring un-
told benefit to Colorado, according to
Enos A. Mills, who has returned to
this state after four months stay in
Washington and other cities Of the
East, where he found a most encour-
ging interest in the park situation.
'There never has been time when
the people Of the East have been so
aroused to the subject of national
parks" said Mr.. Mills. "Official

HERALD PLANT
DAMAGED BY FIRE

| This morning as Emson Wood wa.
on his way TO the Herald office h.
discovered smoke issuing from the
ceiling of the building. He at once
notified the fire department which wa,
soon on the ground and in sohrt time
had the fire under control.
While no serious damage came tc
the building or plant there was con
siderable damage done to the cell
ing of the building and some damage
by smoke and water and lime to the
machinery and stock.
Just how the fire started is not
known but it originated in the cell
ing perhaps over the linotype ma
chine. A gas flue leads from the ma
chine thru the ceiling and as the fire
is started in the machine about I
o'clock it is possible that the pipe be-
came overheated and caused the fire,

1t was thought by some that the
fire was caused from the electrical
wiring, but others investigating say
that the fire was not caused in that
way.

morning and because of this fact seri-

MINING PICKING UP

In the mining fields of Colorado,
outside capital is taking more inter

is natural considering the unheard

seeking investment. This is the gist
OF a page of mining news given in the
Sunday Rocky Mountain News.
In Leadville, in Rico, and in the
gold and tungsten fields of Boulder,
capital from Chicago and New York
is seeking and finding profitable in
vestment in the development of old
and new properties.
Any amount of opportunity exists
arising from the metaliurgical evo-
luton that has been making itself
felt so distinctly in recent months;
and in the long run this is of great
er Importance to Colorado than war

tation process is opening mines in
practically every district in the west.
The silicious ores of Leadville are
coming under its sway; the long ne
elected zinc field in the Rico district
and the pockety and blanket veins
Of Boulder are responding. Ore that
could not be handled few years back

gin of profit even with prices near

DURANGO WATER SUPPLY.


In the year 1907 bill was passed
by congress providing for the pur-
chase by the city of Durango from
the federal government of a water
reservoir site in the upper basin of the
Florida river. However, before the
patent was issued new survey was
made by the government which ex-
cluded 307 acres included in the first
survey and included 81 acres not con
tained in the original survey.
In 1912 the city of Durango thru
its attorney, applied for a patent
Final proof was made and certificate
issued by the local land office, but
the commissioner of the general land
office informed the city that no pat
ent could be issued on the second
survey until congress should make
provision therefor.
In 1911 began voluminous corres-
pondence between the city attorney.
George w. Moody and Congressman
Taylor relative to the matter There
We're two methods of procedure open
to the city. First the city could re
ceive patent on the land made in
the original survey, then quit claim
the 307 acres 70 the government and
apply anew for the 81 acres. Second
a new bill could be introduced in con.
gress amending the original bill in
conformity with the second survey.
During the last two years the CITY
has ben in communication with Con
gresham Taylor. the secretary of the
interior, the agricultural department
and the commissioner of the genera
land office, Clay Tallman. 1t was de- |
cided that the proper method to pur-
sue in securing title was an amend |
ment to the original bill.
Congressman Taylor made every ef
fort to get the bill before the house
but owing to short or busy sessions |
and many bills ahead it was impos. |
sible to get the matter before the |
house committee. During all this |
time the city of Durango thru its |
attorney kept the matter fresh in the
mind of Congressman Taylor and ali |
others who could be interested.
The department of agriculture made
an adverse report on the bill which |
Taylor had introduced and there seem
ed to be some question in dispute
about the details of the survey. This
caused the whole matter to be drop
ped so far as that session of CON
gress was concerned.
lnasmuch as the department never
changed its attitude toward the mat
ter it required diligent work on the
part of Congressman Taylor and the
Durango Exchange which institution
became interested in the reservoir
site. The Exchange, owing to the
fact that Mr.. Moody while city at
toney had taken care of the matter,
again appointed him to look after
Word has been received from Wash
ington that the bill recently intro
duced by Congressman Taylor pro-
viding for the correction by amend
ment has been reported favorably out
Of the committee to which it was re-
ferred which means that the bill will
be passed without serious difficulty
in the opinion Of those who are in
close touch with the whole matter
Since the reservoir site has been
of more or less vital interest to the
city of Durango and has caused any
amount of hard work and anxiety,
much credit is due to our congressman
and our representative of the city and
the Durango Exchange.

Add to this the shipment Of two hun
dred and fifteen cars of apples from

these industries may be realized.
One hundred cars of potatoes

Durango, the metropolis Of the ba-

provements found in cities of much
greater enumeration, with railway ia
cilities extending north to Silverton,
south to Frmington, east to Missouri
river points, and west to the coast.
Mancos, Dolores, Cortez, Bayfield,, Ig-
nacio and Pennington are each grow

religious advantages equal to any
Eastern towns of like size. A branch

them for the farm, home, bench, or

Fortunately, the San Juan Basin
mas never had a "boom," therefore
galues have never been inflated, but

husbandman and the business man
alike, for both are sure OF their fl
nancial status.

"Dry farming" as practiced under

"A prime object in establishing the
National Parks was to preserve their
scenic attractions for future gener-
ations. They have been managed pref
ty exclusively to that end. The seem
cry is all there for future genera
tions to enjoy. But scenery does not
wear out with use, like clothing. The
big travel to the San Francisco Ex-
position was only one of many signs
that this generation has a lively inter-
est in it; and not even Yellowstone
Park has been made as available for
present inspection as it might have
been.
The trouble is that the National
Parks, properly speaking have not
been managed at all. There has been
no proper machinery for managing
them. Each has been treated as a
separate thing. The board problems
that affect all of them pretty much
alike have never been handled as a
whole. No expert staff has ever been
available to handle them. The bill
now before Congress for a National
Park service would remedy this at
an expense that is trifling in view
of the Importance of the parks. The
present situation is essentially that Of
city with dozen splendid but large
ly undeveloped parks, each Of them
under separate management, which
had to wrestle with the problems of
that particular park as best it could
without reference to any of the 9TH
ers. Of course no city would toler-
ate any such absurd agreement. 1t
would Immediately establish PARK
board or bureau to manage all the
parks coordinately.
That is precisely what the national
park service bill proposes to accom-
plish for the national parks. The wis
dom of this plan is so self-evident
that no room is left for argument; in
fact, the obstacle is not based on ar
gument. 1t is based merely on in
ertia. Presidents, secretaries Of the
interior, and virtually all those who
have really examined the subject favor
unified management. Congress has
simply put it off.
Let congress do it now.-Saturday

This is the chief necessity, for tn,
reason that national park administra.

Secretary Mather has been left &c
anybody and everybody.
| Editors Commend Bill.
"The Saturday Evening Post and
the leading newspapers OF New York
have had editorials commencing this
bill, which will solve the big ques-
ton of administering the affairs OF
all national parks and monuments.
Colorado is vitality interested in this
bill, having two national parks and
two national monuments in this state.
Yet, while every other state with ma
tional park interests had someone on
the ground boosting for appropria-
tlons, Colorado has had no one at
tending to her interests.
"The public interest in national
parks is simply amazing" continued
Mr.. Mills. "rhe leading newspapers
of New York have given editorials and
whole pages of descriptive matter to
the subject of government parks, and
are eager for more. In Philadelphia
and Chicago the conditions are the
same. The people of the East have
walked up to the value of these scenic
preservs in the West. The big rail

Think of the government issuing
100000 copies of books on the var
ious national parks There will be
100000 of these on Rocky Mountain
National park and a big edition on the
Mesa Verde. Secretary Mather has
been greatly interested in the arch
