THE systematic effort being made by
some of Canon City's younger business
men to encourage the establishment Of
enterprises here is certainly most com,
mendablc. This sort of thing should
nave begun long ago. II is to their
interest, possibly, more than any other
to see Canon grow and be improved,
and it is time they were making a com
bined and united effort TO bring good
things TO Canon, The future of our
city certainly depends largely upon the
younger men. They are or should be
more active. They are in no way
divided into factions or stirred by strife
aud what they do can be done rs n unit.
The RECORD suggests that when the
Committee of Eleven has accomplished
its present mission let it organize per-
manently and start in with system
and with "A will TO build up our city.

THE STATE FAIR.

Even il Canon City had not been in
the habit of having great fruit show
and general celebration every fail the
state horticultural fair which will be
held here this coming September would
be greater success than ever before.
Coupled with our annual Fruit Day
festivities the fruit show which will
come off September 18th and 10th will
be worth going many miles to see
Last week Mrs. Martha A. Shute, for
many years secretary of the state board
OF horticulture. visited Canon To assist
in making arrangements for the fair
She came by Pueblo where she made
arrangements for cold storage for all
fruits 10 be kept until the exhibition.
The crystal Ice company of that city
has generously Offered to donate space
in their cold storage establishment for
this purpose free OF charge
Many counties are taking an interest
Mrs. shute has recently visited Delta,
Montrose and Mesa counties and she
found the fruit prospects good in all.
Each OF these counties will need good
sized spaces at the show Garfield and
boulder counties will send good dis
plays, and Arapahoe, 0iero, Mesa and
Jefferson will be heard from. II seems
that all varieties OF fruit are especially
inc thrs season which will add to the
wonder of the fruit exhibit here.
Mr.. ". :. coburn. president Of the
state board OF horticulture. is greatly
interested and he will probably send
one OF The finest individual fruit dis
plays ever seen on such an occasion
Many other large fruit growers over
the state are also lending their efforts
to make the show this year great sue
cess.
One thing sure, every one who is
awarded premium this season will be
paid full face value at the close of the
fair. The money for that purpose is
already raised and ready for use

THE city Council at an adjourned
meeting saturday night wisely decided
TO allow the Fruit bay committee 1900
for the benefit of this year celebration.
1t is true that the city has not much
money TO give away but it is also Ger
tain that no money has ever been more
wisely expended and brought greater
returns than that given to encourage
and support the Fruit Day celebration
in former years.

An Abundant Fruit Crop.

A visit To several of the fruit farms
in South Canon, Lincoln Park and
fruitmere aud All interview with sew
eral of our leading fruit raisers dis
close the fact that there is no mistake
about this years fruit crop being one
OF the largest in recent years. The
apple trees are AS heavily loaded As two
years ago. Tis--pear trees, though
somewhat injured By the blight, never
thesless indicate. a lasge crop. Grapes
are abundant. equal 10 the large erop
OF last year Even peach trees that
were properly protected through the
winter by being laid down are heavily
loaded While the smaller fruits of all
kinds are very plentiful. On whole
we have reason TO congratulate our
selves on the fruit outlook Messrs.
stockton and Forbis, who have the
Cameron ranch rented, are well pleased
with their crop. They will have prin
cipaiiy apples, pears aud a few grapes.
The Cameron ranch is considered TO be
one of the best in the vicinity. and
under the supervision of stockton and
Forbis is remarkably well kept. Mr..
Stockton is taking every possible pre-
caution to keek the blight out of his
orchard by clipping every diseased
twig.
H. Sarsor. who owns good ten acre
ranch in Fruitmere. has good prospects
for a large apple crop. lie has num-
Der of line winesap trees of which he
may be proud. From four of these
trees two years ago he picked twenty
two barrels and he is of the opinion
that they will do better this year.
some say Chas. Rickard, of Lincoln
Park has the finest two and half
acre grape vineyard III the county He
has picked from his vines in one year
as IN my as i've thousand baskets. and
will do about that well this year. Mr..
Rickard also knows how to raise
peaches He has number of trees
heavily loaded with luscious peaches
that are just getting ripe.
T. II. Broughten. although compara-
lively new conner to this fruit country
is never the-less an experienced fruit
grower lie owns a small ranch on
Lincoln Park and expects to ship a
nice lot of apples. this year. He has
one tree that attracts considerable at
tention from the fact that the apples
grow in large clusters from three to
eight in a bunch.
Judge FELTON,, who never fails to
raise big crop Of fruit when any one
else does, win not spoil his record this
year. The Judge has lately been in
vestigating the blight that is doing so
much damage to fruit trees, especially
the pear B. F. Rockafellow, who is
the largest fruit grower in the valley,
has a hiie prospect for an abundant
crop. His apple crop this. year will far
exceed that of two years ago and his
other fruit is equally as good.
