NOVEMBER 9.8, 190t.
We go to press one day earlier this
week in order to give our force a chance
to properly observe Thanksgiving day.
Miss Stone has not been released yet,
and latest reports say that the brigandq
have issued an ultimatum threatening to
kill her unless the full ransom is paid by
Jan. let.
The Colorado Springs Telegraph has
been purchased by a company of Springs
men, and about January 1st it will be
combined with the Mail and thereafter
will be republican in politics.
Congress will meet in regular session
on next Monday. The House will stand
198 republicans, 151 democrats and 8
populists and silver republicans, but it is
probable that these last mentioned will
ally themselves with either one or the
other of tha old parties. The republi-
cans will have a majority of about 40.
Marinas have been .landed from U. S. i
warships both at Colon and Panama, and
Mat along the railway line to prevent in-
terferenos with traffic by the fighting
armies in Colombia. Threatened bom-
bardment of Colon, now in possession of
the insurgents, by a Colombian vessel
was forbidden by Commodore McCree,
of the Machine.
We have received through the mails
this week a three line local accompanied
by a half sheet communication finding
fault with us for not publishing the
item last week, and instructing us what
to do and not to do in the future, all of
which was promptly consigned to the
waste basket. The local was all right
and we would have been glad to have
printed it, but for the letter accompany-
ing it.
Town Marshal Morgan is doing a good
job this week cleaning up 4:th street in
front of the business houses. The town
board should furnish a dump cart and
have the streets cleaned several times a
year instead of once or twice. Although
Saguachestreeta are probably kept in
as good condition as in any other town
in the valley, yet there is no good rea-
son why they should not be kept in a
little better condition than they are in
some other towns. Rather than be sat-
isfied to have things only as good as
other places, we ought to endeavor to
excel in ecme things at least.
It is expected that Saguache will have
telephone connection with Hooper and
Center this week, via Moffat. When this
is accomplished people in Saguache will
be able to talk with nearly all the towns
in the county and the valley, having di-
rect connection with Moffat, Hooper
(~nter, Mosca, Alamosa, Monte Vista
and Del Norte on the south, and Villa
Grove and Bonanza on the north. Also
with Salida and Buena Vista on the oth-
er side of the range, and with the ranch-
men up the Saguache creek for 25 miles
and those between Saguache and Moffat
aa well as between this place, Bonanza
and Villa Grove. Now we only need di-
rect connection with Creatone and a
central office in Saguache and we wil
have communication complete.
GCO. W. Koogle was down from Iris a
few days last week, and of course he
called at the CBF.SOZNT office. If we
were not in the newspaper business we
might have become excited over the gold
nuggets shown us from the old Lakota
claim, now the 20th Century, owned by
Uncle George and ye editor, a one-half
interest each, and our partner says that
he can go over to the mine and dig out
more whenever.he feels like it, and we
believe that he can, for we used to do it
ourself a few years ago, when we thought
the only way to get rich was by working
a gold mine. But we have changed our
mind since. Mr. Koogle reports the
camp very quiet at present, but all the
remaining residents hope for lively times
again in the not far distant future.
Thanksgiving will be celebrated all
over the world today, we presume in the
good old fashioned way, that is by eat. !
ing a big dinner of turkey with cran-
berry sauce, mince and pumpkin pies,
fruit cake and plum pudding. Some
may eek, what have we to be thankful
for? The people of this section of the
country certainly can think of many
things that they ought to give thanks
for, Tbey ought to be thankful tbat
they live in this valley that ie blessed
with such pleasent weather, pure and
healthy atmosphere and fine mountain
scenery; for the good health that they
enjoy, and the prosperity that is appar-
ent on all sides; for the fact that no one
need to go unfed or unclothed, or with-
out a job of work, unless it be tbeir own
fault. All these and many more equally
a~ good things we ought to return
~anim tot.
New Law For Tax Sales.
Under the new revenue law a bidder at
a tax sale must, first of all, bid the full
amount of tax due upon a piece of prop-
erty before his bid will be considered.
Then, in addition, he must make a bid as
to the lowest rate of/everest he will ac-
cept in case the owner wishes to redeem
three years from date of sale. The law
says that this rate of interest shall be ae
follows: 2 per cent a month for the first
six months, and 1 per cent per month
from thence on, to date of redemption.!
The buyer who gives the lowest bid for
interest, of course, is given a tax osrtifi-
cote.

Secretary of State Mills reports that
the receipts of his ofi~ce promise to aur.
pass by $60,000 those of last year. Nov.
1 the office was $45,000 ahead of former
Secretary Beckwith's first year. The in.
crease is due to two things, the increase
in the number of incorporations and the
issuance of hundreds of certificates of
authority to existing companies at $5
each.
At a social session of the Salida Elks
held last Wednesday evening, Jake Selig-
man made the opening address. The
Record, in commenting on the speech,
says; "Little Jake indulged in some
flights of oratory, but they soared beyond
the reach of the reporter and will have
to be imagined. It is the concenaus of
opinion that Jake is more successful as
a player of bass drum solos than as a
spell binder. But he knows how to put
an audience in a good humor. Jake de-
clared that he felt like a full grown Elk
and advised every one to follow hie ex-
ample in securing the great benefits of
the order. He said when he joined the
order that he was about the size of the
chairman, 'and,' said he as he tip-
toed to look over the railing of the plat.
form, 'just look at me newt' As a spell-
binder Jake is a success, if he is little.
He always attempts to exercise the
teachings of the order as he understands
it, by playing even--in social sessions.
So the committee proceeded to nail
things down and keep an eye on him."
The Saguache boys who went up to
Bonanza to work a few weeks ago are
coming home these days one at a time.
Ex-President Cleveland has been suf-
fering with an attack of pneumonia, but
reports say that he is now out of daeger.
The Times of the 25th says: "Meam
Bros. and Clark Bros., of Moffat, Cole
marketed th/rteen carloads of good cattle
here today."
A communication signed "One Inter-
ested," regarding sheep being trampled
and scattered by cowboys, on the night
of Nov. °~th, was received just as we go
pre~, too late to appear in this issue.

Modern Surgery Surpassed.
"While eufering from a bad case of
piles I consulted a physician who advis-
ed me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve," says G. F. Carter, Atlanta,
Ga. "I procured a box and was entirely
cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is
a splendid curs for piles, giving relief in.
stamtly, and I heartily recommend it to
all sufferers." Surgery is unnecessary to
cure piles. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
will cure any case. Cuts, burns, brui~
and all other wounds ere also quickly
cured by it. Beware of counterfeits. Sa-

HIOH SCHOOL NOTES.
Rev. C. E. Butler has presented the
library association with the following
books: Life of Queen Victoria; Iona;
Loyola: Quillian Lectures.
Samuel Forbes visited the library re-
cently and after looking over our books
could not resist the temptation of becom-
ing a member.
Unl~m something unforseen happens,
the "Little Brown Jug" will be put upon
the stage the evening of Dec. 13. This
ie for the benefit of the library and
everybody should give it their hearty
support especially members of the asso-
ciation.
There will be no school on Thanksgiv-
ing and Friday of this week, thus giving
non-resident pupils the opportunity of
spending Thanksgiving at home.
A number of cases which appears to
be mumps have recently developed in
iohool.
An exciting game of basket ball be-
tween the girls of the public school and

interest in the high school by presenting
to the library asevoiation Washington

50"2 volumes, and we are getting new
members every week.

A special from Pagosa Springs to the
Post of the 2let says: "Ab:mt 9 o'clock
last night word was received here that a
flow of oil had been struck ill the Pagoaa
Land, Oil and Coal company's well, two
and a half miles southeast of town. The
company drilled through the quartzite
yesterday and struck a heavy flow of ar-
tesian water. Another hard strata ten
inches in thickness was pierced, when
gas and oil was struck, forcing up the
tools and forcing the oil and water to the
ted of the huilding over the derrick. It
settled down in half an hour again and
is now flowing steaddy part oil and part
water."
