PLEASANT VALLEY.

The election last week possessed
some of the most singular features of
anything of the kind ever held in the
Valley. One of the most important
questions seemed to be whether the
rawhide should be discarded from the
school room or not, and strange as it
must appear, the rawhide won the
day.
The Valley has scarcely awakened
to the Importance of sugar beet cult
ure, although il has begun to think
seriously of looking into the matter.
The idea has developed to the extent
OF endeavoring to ascertain what can
be done on a small scale. Last year
only one in this vicinity planted any
seed while this year several are going
to do SO, among them John Davies, A.
W. Alexander and T. j. Freeman.
May seems to have been ashamed
of the scarcity of the snowfall last
winter and considered it her duty to
make up the deficit, as somewhere
near four feet of snow has fallen dur
ing the first week The ranchmen
are jubilant over the prospect of an
abundance of water.
Howard was treated to slight-of-
hand performance last Thursday night
by travelling Snowman.
Elder Stamp, of the Free Metho-
dist church, held the regular quar-
terly services at the school house
Saturday and Sunday.
Rev. J. W. Marshall has applied for
the position of teacher in the public
school. He has lived in the valley
nearly two years, is broad minded
man, well educated, jealous worker,
and W thout doubt would make an eff
cient instructor.

If Warden Cleghorn wishes to
make himself famous in Canon as well
as do a great act toward beautifying
our already charming little city, he
could do SO by having that portion of
the penitentiary grounds lying along
Main street between the east wall
and First street made into public
park. The penitentiary is probably
the only state institution which has no
free campus or public park in its vi
cinity. The expense of keeping up
such place would be but slight and
something in the shape of park
at that place would add much to the
appearance of the penitentiary
grounds and to that portion of the
city.

LAWS MADE ~ HASTE.

Some years ago custom existed in
the city council of having all ordi-
nances introduced before that body
at least two weeks before vote was
taken. The custom was a good one
that all councils might well adopt.
In the making of laws there should
be no haste. 1t is easy to pass an
ordinance but sometimes rather
cult TO enforce the laws thus fasti.y
made. During the past few " RS in
Canon several ordinances have been
introduced and passed one nigh and
repealed within the month. Had
been introduced and laid over for two
weeks they would not have passed and
the city would have been saved the
expense of publication and the alder
men the embarrassment of having to
undo what they had hastily done.
Such a rule would be of benefit to the
city and to each individual alderman.
Laws that must be rushed through
are not as rule good laws and sach
a rule in the council would give the
aldermen n good excuse for finding
out what the people think of any pro-
posed measure. 1t would be safe
guard to the city and to the council.

Justice of conviction A woman al
Cayuga. in the province of Ontario,
was saved from the gallows by the ex-
ercise of this authority the other day,
only few hours before the time fixed
for her execution. The prisoner,
Mrs. Sternaman. bad been convicted of
having murdered her husband by poi
soning. The evidence laid before the
minister OF justice, however, indicates
that the poison found in the body came
from a fluid used for embalming pnr-
poses, and that information to this ef-
feet had been given to the public prose-
cutor. The action of the minister 10
generally commended. but the Cana
dian press criticises the prosecuting Of
ficers for suppressing such evidence
in behalf of the defendant. IL they real

rnE WAR

War news is mcager this week,
barring the receipt by the War De-
partment last Saturday of Commo-
dore Dewey's official report. 1t con-
firms the press dispatches at first
sent announcing his compile victory at
Manila, with the further information
that not single American life was
sacrificed during the engagement.
Six soldiers were slightly wounded.
The Spanish loss, killed and wounded,
is estimated at from 400 to 500.
No bombardment Of the city Of Ma
Mia has yet been made, but the entire
harbor, together with the fortiiica-
tions, are under control of the Ameri-
can commander. An army Of 5000
wentern troops are now being mobil-
lied at Pacific coast points to embark
for the Philippines as soon as trans
ports can be secured. This order in
cludes the Colorado volunteers.
The other events of the week are
shrouded is so much mystery, and the
reports concerning them so sensa-
tional and uncertain that it is impos-
sible at this writing to give any ac-
curate knowledge cnncerning the
same. Admiral Simpsons fleet has
been reported as going in no less
than five different directions at the
same time, while the Spanish squad
ron has been sighted from one side
of the Atlantic to the other. The re-
port Sunday evening that Simpsons
squadron had met and destroyed the
Spanish feet off the coast Of Haiti,
proves to have been pure fabrica-
tion, as the most authentic reports
now Indicate that the Spanish squad
ron has returned to Spain.
As predicted iu our last issue the
American army will probably occupy
Cuba this week, under command Of
General Miles. Farther than this we
are left to mere conjecture. How
ever, It Is morally certain that deci-
sive action win be taken as soon as
plans ean b perfected.

THE G. A. r. Fair being arranged
by Col. Ginger to come off May II,
Is and 10, bids fair to be one of the
grandest successes Of anything Of the
kind ever attempted in Canon. Col.
Ginger's success in this kind of work
is marvellous. In Cripple Creek he
recently held fair where 5000 tick
cts were sold. Boulder took 1900
tickets for a similar entertainment,
and Colorado Springs 5000. The
number of tickets to be sold in Canon
is only 2200 and they are going rap
idly.

wogD has just reached the city
from Senator Wolcott of the ap-
pointment OF MIR. J. II. MeDevitt to a
responsible position in the special
revenue service. Mr. McDevitt has
for several years held trusted posi-
tion in the state penitentiary and this
advancement to better place will be
good news to his many friends. Mr..
McDevitt has always been recognized
as one of the leading Republican
workers in this part OF the state.
Nearly every Republican victory in
Fremont county in recent years has
been brought about partially at least
through his active energy and this
recognition by his chiefs is but just
reward for his valuable work. The
RECORD extends congratulations.

After the Islands OF Cuba and Porto
Rico shall have been wres,ed from Spain
as result Of military invasion By the
United States they win become the obiec-
tive points Of another invading force from
the United States. In other words, the
military invasion will be followed by
commercial and Industrial invasion which
WIN result in the complete and speedy de-
velOpment Of the trade and industrial re-
sources OF those fertile Islands. The op-
pOrtunlrles for enterprise and capital are
numerous and inviting. Under the rule Of
the indolent spanlard neither Island has
made any progress except such as has
been the inevitable result Of natural con-
ditions. The cubans are even more sioth-
fu than the Spanish element and have no
acquaintance with the modern methods
and appliances Of American civilization.
The possibilities Of achievement in Cuba
and Porto Rico have been demonstrated
in a measure by the American invasion Of
Mexico. That republic. with population
somewhat similar TO the people Of the
Antilles, was az standstill The inhabi-
tants we're at least four centuries behind

public had president intelligent enough
10 see the progressive spirit Of the age
and patriotic enough to grasp the oppor-
tunity to redeem his country from stag
nation and slow decay. Americans with
ideas and money were welcomed to Mex
leo, and they were given exceptional Op-
portunitles to use their ability and invest
their capital. Today Mexico is rapidly
