BIG DEMONSTRATION
OVER DEPARTING BOYS
Durango and La Plata County Citizens Gather by
the Thousands to Say farewell to the Men
Who Will Homer Our Great Nation

The crowd turned out. It was an
honor to the boys, and an honor to
itself and La Plata county. Thous-
ands were there. There were tears,
and there were cheers. The cheers
were the cheers of pride, of patriot
ism and of defiance. The tears were
not the tears of hopeless sorrow, they
were the tears of compassion, Of hu-
man sympathy, of motherhood and
fatherhood and love. Tears Of pride,
tears of joy. at times, tears that ex-
press the sum total of human emo
tions.
As the long train pulled slowly
out, with the pride Of the great San
Juan on board, pandemonium broke
loose, whistles shrieked and roared,
bells rung, horns footed, everything
that could make sound in the basin
wished them "God speed"
Twenty automobiles were in from
Bayfield, all loaded to capacity and
other parts of the surrounding ter
ritory did as well in proportion. In
all many more people took part in
the demonstration than line within
the confines of Durango and suburbs.
Music thruout the morning by the
Smelter band and during the march
by the Grand Army Drum corps
were special features Of the occasion,
The school children, the boy scouts
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
various organizations taking part in
the parade made it the largest in the
III 6ry of Durango.
The arrival of the Silverton train
bearing 18 of the San Juan county,
Colorado boys, was the signal for an
other outburst from the crowd. The
Silverton people had already done
for their boys in the early hours Of
the morning very much the same as
Durango did for hers.
The soldier train will leave Ala
mosa tonight with 105 soldier boys
on board, the balance being picked
up en- route. The train is under the
special charge of General Agent P.
B. McAtee.

PETITIONS CIRCULATED FOR
NORTH COUNTRY RAILROAD

P. J. Kennedy has started move
ment to circulate petitions over the
north country presenting to the gov
ernment the need of a railroad into
this potential bread basket of the ma
tion, says the Opheim Optimist.
The petitions will bear the names
of the farmer, the amount of his
holdings the acreage he has in crop
this year and the acreage he could
and would put into wheat next season
if assured that he could get it to
market without making a haul of so
or so miles.
There is no doubt that a railroad
into the Opheim country would in
crease the wheat crop next year by at
least a million bushels and this is no
small item in feeding the nations.
BY no other means can the govern
ment increase the wheat yield of the
nation to such an extent as by open
ing up eastern Montana in this
manner, and it is to be hoped that
the petitions will be generally signed
SO that the strongest kind of an i'm
preston may be made.

Increase of Almost Fifty Per
Cent in County's Wealth
ASSESSED ACREAGE ALMOST DOUBLE
About Nine Million Dollars Will Be
Total of Assessed Valuation for
This Year. Was $6,000,00O
Last Year

An increase of about so per cent
in the assessed valuation of Valley
county is the remarkable record made
during the past year.
The 1917 assessment, recently COM
pleted by Assessor B. H. Cottrell
shows marked growth in all lines
in the county. The increase from
valuation of six million dollars last
year to approximately nine million
this year is conclusive evidence that
Valley county has at last struck its
stride of rapid development.
Notable in this years report Of the
assessor is the increase in the num-
ber of acres under taxation.
In 1916 there were 368,359 acres on
the tax rolls, while this year there
are 1,124. Last year the valuation
of automobiles was $4,000, while this
year it is almost triple.
In all classes of stock excepting
sheep there has been a big increase.
The city of Glasgow valuation is
decidedly larger this year, showing
taxable wealth amounting to $1,184,-
1868.
The list follows:

One hundred and one degrees in
the shade has no effect on the dis
trict court which is now in session in
the city.
Heat apparently makes the wheels
of Justice run easier, for the grist
of cases to be tried is rapidly dimin-
ishing.
After the trial of Ben Ottenstror
last week, in which the defendant was
found guilty, his brother Joseph Ot-
tenstror was tried, the charge being
that he was implicated in the cattle
stealing depredations with his brother
Ben.
After hearing the evidence the
Judge dismissed the case.
The case of the State of Montana
vs.. Frank Ottenstror will be tried
tomorrow.
The trial of Charles Smith, who was
charged with grand larceny, came up
Monday and the defendant plead
guilty. He will be sentenced by Judge
Clark Saturday morning.
The conviction of Ben Ottenstrol
and the pleading guilty of Charley
Smith marks the closing chapter ir
the famous horse stealing cases which
first came to light last summer. Tht
testimony of Sherman Lund, wht
turned states evidence, broke dowr
the barriers of the defense ant
clinched the case for the state.
Tuesday morning the Layton cas'
came up for trial, and after procur
ing jury, the examining of wit
nesses began.
The case was bitterly fought b.
both sides and a crowded court room
witnesses the proceedings.
About o'clock Wednesday after
noon the case went to the jury and a
9:35 p. m. the jury brought in yer
dict of "Not Guilty"
Civil cases are now being tried b.
the court, but there are still a hal
dozen criminal cases to be tried.
