Our Prosperity for 1897.
4 Partial List Of BulIdins Improvements.

There Ii nothing that marks the pro
gress and indicates the enterprise Of q
community or city as does the building.
The past year In Canon has besn pros
porous one. In no other way has 1t
bsen more so than in its building. No
boom has struck the town yet d dwellings
have been put up In nearly every block
in the city, while in the near surround
ing fruit country the new houses are
almost as numerous as the old ones.
Believing that this Is an excellent
way TO show up the growth Of our city.

together list OF the buildings and i'm
provements done and begun in 1897.
