Masons at Colorado springs.

Probably the best entertainers in
the world are the Aiasons. This is
true because they form the largest
and richest fraternal body in the
world. When a Masonic lodge sets
out to entertain visiting lodges no
item that will in anywise add to the
pleasure of the occasion is ever over
looked. So at Colorado Springs Fri
day members Of the organization in
this city were greeted with that cour-
tesy which is a characteristic of the
fraternity.
AZ the depot the visitors were met
by the Colorado Springs lodg with
iine carriages and escorted through
the beautiful drives of the city, the
Garden Of the Gods, Williams Canon,
Manitou and the suburbs; we're shown
through the public buildings, Broad
moor Casino, Printers home, Deaf and
Blind Institute and Colorado College,
and finally had dinner at the ADtlers
hotel.
After dinner the visitors were con-
Quoted to the lodge room where work

MORE GOOD HOUSES NEEDED.

There is significance to the fact
that Canon man recently gave an
other Canon man the good. round sum
of 500 as bonus to get the second
man TO rent him house. The house
is not fancy one, but enc of those
well kept. substantial, desirable homes
that rent for from SIS to $50. What
we may learn from this is that there
are not enough such houses in Canon.
There may be vacant houses in the
city. but few. If any, Of this descrip-
tion. Look around and see how few
houses are vacant that rent for SO
or s25 per month. For such houses
in good locations up town there is a
growing demand, and lot owners
could make good money by building
more good houses

today. The president has decided to al
low him to select his own conferees
on the peace commission and it is ex-
pectcd they will be announced soon.

ference will last long time, as the
Spaniards will interpose all sorts of
objections in an effort TO obtain bet
ter terms. II the Cortes is called be-
fore the commissioners reach de-
cision, it will probably also delay ac-
ton as the Spanish commissioners
may claim the right to submit every
point raised to the cortes and the
latter will take time to debate the
questions. In this way it may delay
the final signing Of the treaty OF
peace until the ehd Of ths year. II

RAILROADERS MAY COME.
II Suitable Date Can be Fixed We
May have One Thousand Rail-
road Men Here On
Fruit Day.

Messr4 :. Handy and R. S.
Lewis have cen in Denver several
days making an effort to get the con-
vention of Road Masters and Superin-
tendents which meets in Denver the
week of Fruit day to come 10 canon.
The convention will be made up of
Road Masters, Superintendents and
other big railroad men from all over
the United States and Canada. There
will be nearly thousand such people
in Denver. The convention meets in
Denver the 18th, 14th and 18th. In
their list of towns they have Canon
down g. the 18th of Sept. This
coming Immediately after fruit day
when the town will necess7riir be torn
up, dirty and the c;iaau- tired out,
it is questionable WIZ .-- We want
them or not that day.
Mr.. C. B. TellaI, chairman of the
committee on entertainment and who
it seems is general manager of the
whole concern very friendly to
Canon and war 1ring the rail-

the big day of Fruit 1av could be on
the 18th instead ss. will

there is now some Tx of having the
dates of Fruit day ah lnged to Sept

COLORADO BEATS THE WORLD
Eestern Buyers are Trying to Get a
Cinch on This Years Crop Of
Apples at Fancy Figures.

Colorado people do not know how
other states look upon their fruit. If
they did they would talk less of mines
and more of horticulture" So said
W. P. Stark, member of the firm of
Stark Bros, large fruit growers of
this state and Missouri, who was at
tile state house this morning says the
Denver Times.
81 have just heard that Armour &
Co., of Kansas City and about every
other place have written to promi-
nent fruit growers in the state asking
the addresses of fruit growers whose
crops have not already been contract
ed for and know the information
to be correct, for /, myself, last year
managed to get the company two car
loads of Ben Davis, Arkansas Black
and Jonathan apples which they ship
ped to all parts of the United States
as an advertisement of Colorado fruit.
1T has been my experience that
Colorado apples bring from 80 cents
to 81 more per barrel than those of
the same name from other states.
Colorado Ben Davis average from so
cents to 81 per barrel higher and
Colorado Jonathan average from 81
to $3.50 higher per barrel. | tell you
that Coloradans don't know what they
have in their fruit prospects and ac-
Qualities.
why, what happened last year
when two carloads were shipped TO
California? The return mail brought
orders for twenty carloads more.
The small purchases which Armour &
Co., made last year advanced local
prices from % to 80 per cent.
by the way, what happened to
The apples which that company got
from this stateg The company re-
served them for their best customers,
those who pay % cents per pound
for their beef. They were sold at
fancy prices. averaging from 81 to
$50 per box of tbirty-seven pounds
For fancy apples Colorado beats the
world.
Speaking of this fact recalls to
mind an incident which occurred last
year. wrote pamphlet on Colo
RADIO fruit and it fell into the hands
of DIR. Reed, the celebrated Philidel-
phia physician. He wrote to me ask
ing for the address Of some one who
could produce such apples as ! de-
scribed in that pamphlet. referred
him to Colonel Coffee of Delta. A
couple of weeks later | saw the colo
mel and he showed me a letter from
the doctor. which had enclosed $40
bill, One sentence read: Send me
one barrel of such apples as were de-
scribed in that pamphlet and want
no changer There are mighty few
states in the union which can boast
of any such sale as that in these de-

THE BARE HILLS DISTRICT.

From the Bare Hills Times.
The Junior Order mine now has 70
tons of high grade ore in their bins
ready for treatment.
J. A. Yawger has taken contract
from E. E. Dalton to sink to forma-
ton and open up the vein on the Dal-
ton claim which end lines with the
Junior Order on the north.
VIM. Maher has commenced work
on the Esmeralda which joins the
Junior Order on the south and is lo-
Gated on the same vein, he expects to
get the ore body in about go feet.
w. H. Simons of the Hillside COM
pany, who is east rustling up capital
for the further development of the
mine, is having very successful trip.
fhe Hillside is all right and is a good
proposition for any mans money.
The new road via the Mayhower is
completed and reflects credit on the
county as well as being of great bene-
fit to Bare Hills on account of the
large increase of travel this way.
The Fannie L. is being equipped
with a whim, car, track and shaft
house all in first class shape. Con-
tractor Chas. Mumma is doing the
work.
Two shifts are now steadily at work
on the Warren shaft and more men
are expected daily. When these ar
rive three shifts will be put on.
Never in the life of the camp have
things looked so favorable for Bare
Hills, never was SO much development
work in contemplation as now. The
camp is just on the eve of becoming
one of the big producers of Colorado.
Let us look over the situation little:
First comes the new 5oton Hilliard
mill which viii set the Quartz Wonder

ducing. and win be running full head

grade ore to the surface as fast as
possible. Next the Junior Order a
mine from the grass roots with 20

treat it. Then the Warren already
equipped with a steam hoist and With
a large body Of S25 ore in sight and
three shifts working. Next, the Hill
side which will resume work the first
of the month. The Fannie L. work
ing steadily, the Commercial Travel
ers and Farrell outfits resume the
first of the month, the Jessie, Esmer-
elda, o. X. and Dalton, all with good
ore in sight, these and half hum
dred other likely claims will make this
the iiveliest camp in the state before
winter comes. Just keep your eye
on Bare Hills and see if our predic-
ton is not verified.

4 Colorado Boy Gives the Experiences
of His First Night Under Fire.

Of His First Night Under Fire.
The following is a letter from
Frank NJ. Endsley, company A, First
regiment Colorado volunteers, and
kindly handed to the RECORD for
publication:
Philippine Islands, July q, '9S.
Dear father, mother, brothers ? nd
sisters 4 am well and we have reaci
our destination. Landed on the
beach last Tuesday. | was on guard
duty the first night and next day, my
pmpany (A) went on outpost duty.
\ had the most exposed post on the
line. | was stationed on the beach
jpst 700 hundred yards from the
Spanish Notifications. 1t was my
first time under fire. Bullets kept
dropping al day long. The natives
keep up running fight all the time,
but that night the Spaniards drove
natives through our lines, and natives
and soldiers were one mass of people.
The Spanish shells were bursting in
the air above us. 1t was a grand
sight, you bet, and not a man finched
in company A. The whole regiment
is anxious for the fight. 1t | can't
tell just when it will come off. The
natives think that an American never
misses shot.
You can just soc the tops
of the sunken vessels sticking
out of the water When we landed
We had to wade waist deep through
the water. The county is awfully
hot here, we do not move around dur
ing the day any more than we have to-
We don't expect to lose many men
in the fight. We expect to make one
wild rush and then it will be all off
with the Spaniards. don't think
we will loose 200 men. The Spanish
are awfully poor shooters They
fight all night long with the natives,
who only lose about 200 killed and
from five to twenty wounded They
bring their wounded back through
our camp.
wish that we would get into ii
and be done with it. They have to
watch the boys pretty close, for when
one of them gets outside of the lines
be wants to make break right to the
fsfag HE. You could take twenty
men out of the regiment and they
wouldn't fear the whole Spanish army,
they have that much confidence in
themselves.
We have eighteen pieces of field
artillery, six Gatlin guns, and Dewey
on the water We are living in peep
tents nov. The natives here are a
v.zrv disgusting class of people.

gents ! spital this morning and saw
them /. ng in the wounded. They
have two Spanish prisoners there.
They think that the insurgents are
going to cut their heads of When |
ever YOU say Spaniard to the natives
they draw their hands across their
throats. They seem to think no
Spaniard has right to live, and
think they are about right about it.
Well, as this is about all that l know

all good bye.
