RED CROSS CAMPAIGN


The Red Cross organization party
spent yesterday working in the west
en portion of the county. The first
meeting OF the day was held at the
Ft. Lewis school, and a very success
ful meeting it was. The Normal In
stitute being in progress at TT. Lewis
rendered the time for such meeting
proptious indeed
The party then proceeded to Mar
vel, where the Rev Hanford Miller
acting as master Of ceremonies, a
lousing meeting was held in the
school house, a very modern little
building which furnished a surprise
and delight to those Durango peo-
pie who had not previously visited
it, yet, so rapid has been the growth
of our little western neighbor that
this same school house which SO many
Durango people did not know existed,
is already outgrown. Rev. Miller was
left in charge of the Red Cross work
at Marvel, and splendid results of the
seed sown yesterday may be expect
ed.
The party then proceeded toward
Hesperus, where according to plans,
a meeting was to be held at the
Houser hall in the evening. The par
ty stopped at the Holder bridge for
lunch.
AS lunch was being concluded the
Red Cross party found opportunity
for very practical demonstration Of
Red Cross work. A boy came rush
ing out of the woods saying that his
partner had cut his foot in two. Rush
ing to the scene of the accident,
Charles Elliot, the school teacher of
Hesperus was found lying in the
woods where he had accidentally
struck himself with his AK, while
cutting poles for the school. He had
amputated two or three toes and was
suffering greatly. He was carried to
the F. r. Graham automobile and
taken to Ochsner hospital at once by
Mrs. Graham, accompanied by a por-
ton of the remainder of the Red
Cross party, leaving but three singers
and one speaker to hold the Hesperus
meeting. The meeting was an open
air affair, and was cut as short as
possible, but the noble response of the
Hesperus people more than made up
for the shortage of entertainment
provided by the Red Cross party.
The feature of the Hesperus meeting
was about dozen little school girls,
who suddenly appeared from every
where, joined in the singing like lit
tie soldiers, and dug up their little
nickles and dimes with spirit that
would win any war, anywhere and at
auy time

Camp Bird Bore =
Cuts Six Veins.

The Ouray Plaindealer says: at is
rumored at approximately 5000 feet
from its portal the Camp Bird tunnel
has cut the Yellow Rose gold lead
across which it has already run from
foot to hanging wall, distance Of 25
feet. disclosing an ore body that gives
every promise of rivaling in richness
and productiveness the Camp Bird
vein itself. The Yellow Rose is the
sixth lead cut by the tunnel so far,
and while some of them showed prom
ising values, none of them have been
opened up, as the work would serious
ly interfere with the progress of the
tunnel. Until such time as these
veins are driven on their proper value
cannot be determined but the fact
they hold good at such depth is highly
encouraging and would seem to jus
tify the belief the Camp Bird is yet
TO see its most productive days"

BIRD UTILITIES SNAKE SKIN
Various Reasons Advanced by Natur-
aIsts for the Action of the
Crested Fly-Catcher.

Habit of generations leads the crest
ed hy-catcher to select dried snake
skin to line his nest. There are va
rious explanations of why he does It,.
Some naturalists believe it is an eff
fort on the part Of the bird to render
the nest waterproof. Others think the
dried skin serves as q burglar alarm,
to rattle at the approach of squirrel
or another enemy and warn the bird
to defend his home.
He builds his nest in hollow trees,
stumps or posts, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. Sometimes he rents
the abandoned home Of a woodpecker.
Prof. II. A. Surface, Pennsylvania
state zoologist, tells of one that
usurped q rural mail box for his flat;
of recent years they have been known
to inhabit box homes put up for their
special benefit.
SO if you want to encourage the
crested fy-catcher, build him box
nest. He'll pay his rent many times
over. He eats beetles, flies, grasshop-
pers. butterflies and moths, and few
insects are speedy enough to escape
the swapping of his bill.

Concrete Chimney Stack.

A concrete chimney, 300 feet high,
built recently at the plant of Texas
smelling company, and embodying in
its construction number Of new ideas,
is described in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The shell, or walls, form
ing a true circle and tapering from
POS inches thick at the bottom to 5
inches at the top, was built up with
the aid of patent collapsible, or adjust
able, steel forms, used in sections.
These made it easier to secure the ex-
act amount of tapering required as the
chimney rose in height, the concrete
being mixed and tamped in the forms.
The upper part of the chimney was
built with q patent top, including
number of finch pipe inlets, regularly
spaced around the stack for the admis-
sion of air from the outside. This re-
suits in arresting many Of the prod
ucts of combustion carried up with
the smoke-which then fall down the
chimney into a hopper provided near
the base.
