The fact That conservative business
men consider it good investment to
buy fruit land and improve it, is good
indication that it is worth the price.

The large advertisement on another
page for the Canon City Electric Light

tention more closely to the plant and
its well known manager, ii b. Slater.
For this reason we have thought that
word about the plant and manager
would prove interesting to many read
ers.

England. January 10th. 1850 At the
early age OF ten he took 10 the sea
which occIpation he followed for ten
years, The last two years was spent
as mate. or second officer, of his ship.
In September OF 1870 Mr. Slater
landed in Massachusetts with the pur-
pose of making the United States his
future home. The year of 'i6 found

What Hon. Solomon Luna Says.

Between $4,000, 900 and Sd, ,ooo-
600 will be added to the value of
the yearly wool clip of New Mex
leo alone by the new tariff. This
is the estimate of President Luna,
the head of the association of
wool men in the territory. New
Mexico's sheep industry is valued
at SI7,ooo,ooo. The protective
duties on wool will, in the opinion
of Mr.. Luna, make the sheep of
this territory double in value.
Taking advantage of the warning,
wool buyers in the east have i'm
ported nearly years supply for
the manufacturers. This will have
the effect to make the apprecia-
tion of homegrown wool gradual.
But the wool growers of New
Mexico already see the benefits
of the legislation.
Every wool grower in the ter
ritory," Mr.. Luna said, knows
that his flock has almost doubled
in value. We have got the finest
climate in the world for sheep
raising. Our lamb crop this year
will add IS per cent, to the num-
Der of sheep in the territory. The
people of New Mexico feel very
kindly toward this administration.
They have begun to realize hand

Manitowoc continues to maintain a
firm grip on the tail end of the
League. Last Sundays game at
Sheboygan was lost because Sheboy-
gan played better ball. They put mp
no better fielding game than their
visitors according to the record, but
as matter of fact they took care of
lot of difficult chances and thereby
chopped off some likely looking base
hits. Their outfield in particular was
very fast. Manitowoc lost the game
in the second inning when T. Tori
son made very wild throw to the
plate and three men crossed the pan
Half succeeded in keeping his oppo
nents guessing most of the time, they
being unable to score until the ninth
