from being entirely demolished. The
other large man seemed to be some
what more careful of his wheel and
of himself. His chief characteristic
was that shown by steel needle in
in the presence of lodestone.
His wheel seemed attracted by any
passing vehicle or fellow wheelman,
he frequently was fcFced to dismount
to keep his wheel from carrying him
into some passing object The sight
was very interesting and one well
worth the price of admission. It was
noticed that no one asked for their
money back. On further investiga-
ton it was found that three of our
prominent business men were taking
some lessons from Mr.. Frank Thomas
on riding the wheel. 1t is expected

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-It is stated
that a portion of Dewey's dispatch of
day or'so ago relative to the action
of the German warships at Manila
was suppressed This suppressed por-
tion is sai5 to have caused the navy
depar .ment to delay sending Commo-
dore Watson on his mission to Spain.
He win now be held until an expedi-
ton can be fitted out which can sail
to the Philippines after visit to the
Spanish coast has been accomplished.
This will 30 strengthen Dewey that if
any nation is inclined to make trouble
over Anisrica holding the islands our
fleet viii be sufficiently powerful to
enforce It's demands.
Genera Miles is said to have re-
quested the government to permit
him to take the army direct to the
coast of Spain instead of Porto Rico,
recommending this as the best
method of subduing that obdurate ma
ton He was told that there would
be plentysof time to consider the plan
of going to Spain after Porto Rico
had been subdued.

As YET the RECORD has no infor-
nation of any movement having been
started toward the grading of Macon
avenue Some of the prominent resi-
dents Of the street certainly ought to
take the matter in hand and approach
every owner of property with the
proposition. Indications point strongly
to large delegation of visitors on
Fruit day and whatever Improvement
is to be made before that time should
be begun at once. At any rate, no
time should be lost in making all the
street improvements possible at this
time.

The Valley has plenty Of rain all
summer. and last week Il was rather
too much of good thing, and the
ranchmen that were late with their
hay lost some Of il. There was a
hail storm that left its mark. The
lightning entered the room Of Mrs.
VIII Alfred, at the home of her
father-in-law, and after destroying
everything the room contained, forced
a hole through the wall Of brick on
the opposite side and passed out. Mrs.
Alfred has been i'll for some time,
but that day was able to be up, and
becoming frightened at the thunder,
before the lightning had done its
work, luckily had gone down stairs
and SO escaped injury. Arthur Hig-
gins was out at the barn on a load Of
hay, and the first thing he knew he
was up in the air; he was carried
several, feet but falling on the hay
was not injured.

THE CIDER COMPANY.



To the President, Canon City Cham
ber of Commerce.
In pursuance of resolution passed
by your honorable body as follows
Resolved that the Committee on
Commerce and MANUFACTURES be in
structed to investigate the affairs of
the Canon City Cider & Picking Com
pany, azi provided they are as repre-
seized, to make and publish report,
together with such recommendations
as they may see fit,
Your committee begs leave to re-
port as follows:
That after a careful examination
they find that the Canon City Cider
& Picking Company are in possession
Of first class site, and have good
building and machinery to the value
of seventy-fve hundred and fifty dol
lars, that has been fully paid for.
The company find it necessary to
offer for sale sufficient amount of
treasury stock in order to pay for
additional machinery THAT has been
bought at a large discoun) that will
be necessary to put the plant in good
running order. The new machinery
is now on the track here, with freight
and purchase price Cess $4,000
paid that will have to be paid from
money raised by the sale Of additional
stock.
We also find on hand merchandise
consisting of boiled and raw cider in
barrels, kegs, etc, to the value of
$1,000 or more, that this amount of
goods can be put on the market as soon
as the new machinery can be put in
place.
We also find that the site was pur-
chased at very low price, s.. T50.00.
We believe that $4,000 would have
been much nearer the real value
We also find that the plant is well
under way towards completion, and
that the building tander which is a
basement, full size) has been well and
economically constructed and every
thing shows good management
We are also pleased to say that the
plant viii be something that the city
can well be proud Of. and that when
in running order VIII make . market
