Chicago is without newspapers Of their
own publication. The great and mag

city have suspended owing to the stereo-
typers in their employ striking for
higher wages. They have been getting

publishers one and all, concluded they
could not Payit, and so orefused to comply
and hence the stoppage. 1t would seem
an unreasonable demand on the part of
the stereotypers.

NONE IN FRUIT GROWING.
Canon City Man Tells About How
it is Done.

H. NJ. Mingay of Canon City, one OF
old-time editors of the state, was at
the Brown this week, says the Denver
Times, and after telling the story of
politics down in that country, ven
tured to say some good things for a
section that does not receive the good
advertising it should when its pro
rata OF good totals furnished the state
annually are taken into consideration.
He said:
There can be no doubt we have
done as much as any county in the
state to make Colorado what she is.
We have line of old-timers who are
well fixed and are getting rich as fast
as any people in the state barring, of
course the big miners who have a
cinch on thousands of dollars every
month. The people are getting rich
with their orchards and farms and do
not know what it is to endure siege
of hard times. Every year adds to
the total output of these orchards far
more than was anticipated.
There is probably no business
where a man makes his money as
easily after he once gets started as
he does in fruitgrowing. The older
orchards require scarcely any atten-
tion to speak of and the new ones do
not demand the work that one would
suppose they would. The fruit men
are sanguine that much better mar
ket will be established for their pro-
duct as soon as the merit of it
becomes as well known as it should
be.
Politics never interferes with pro-
gre~a down in our country, for the
pc pie follow that old maxim which
suggests that one should take care
of himself and family first and then
if he has any time to spare toward
making new laws or applying to the
enforcement of the old one, he takes
a hand in it. This year gives especial
promise of being one of the best with
US and the citizens are contemplating
still better in the future. You know
it takes age to make an orchard coun-
try great and that is all we need
down there now, but do not infer
from this that we are too young To
wrestie with any proposition that
comes along
Mr.. Mlngay is one of the oldest
editors in the state, and was formerly
the publisher of the Canon City Clip
per, which has accomplished much
toward telling the world of the beau
ties of that section. He has recently
severed his connection with the shoot
ing stick and the delinquent subscri-
bers and is enjoying a well-earned
period of rest.
