The New Power plant.

Within a very short time now the
plant Of the Colorado Electric Power
company will be in operation and fur
nishing power and light to the mines
and mills of the Cripple Creek district.
While it seems, to one not ac-
quainted with the extent of labor and
the immense expenditure of money
required to place such an institution
in working order, a long time since
work begun upon it, yet the buildings
have been completed in an incredibly
short time. And when one considers
that this is the largest plant of the
kind west of the Missouri river, and
then takes time to look over the great
engines and electric machines which
will develop power for hundred
plants of mining machinery and as
many concentrating plants and ore
treating institutions, besides furnish
ing them all with light, IL becomes
very apparent that the moments have
not been frittered away.
OF the buildings it is only necessary
to say that they cover about two
acres of ground and that 100000
brick, 5000 perch Of stone, l,l50
barrels of cement, 100 tons Of struc-
tural steel and standard carload of
corrugated iron were used in their
construction. The boiler room is
equipped with four Heine safety-tube
boilers with combined capacity OF
1,200 developed horse power and two

Th~ DsByrr Essning Times.
With an enterprise characteristic
of its section. the CANON CRY RECORD
has broadened its field of usefulness,
and will hereafter be issued daily as
an afternoon paper. The initial num-
bers are exceedingly complimentary
in appearance, as well ~ in tele-
graphic and local news service and
if the success OF the enterprise il 20
be measured by its merit prosper
Gus future is certainly open for it.
The RECORD represents one of the
most productive regions of the entire
West one of Colorado's yeritable
garden spots and its constituency is
of that intelligent, progressive and
enterprising sort which has contri-
buted largely to the wonderful devel-
opment of the Rocky Mountain region.
Among such people SO meritorious
publication should be an unques-
toned success. In choosing the even
ing rather than the morning field for
its new journalistic venture, the
RECORD remarks: ''It is peculiar
fact that more than S5 per cent. of
the war news has appeared in evening
papers before the morning editions"
The RECORD is wise in its observation
and in its choice.
The evening newspaper is the news
paper of today; the morning paper is
the paper of yesterday. The Times
has conclusively demonstrated this
fact in Denver, and the RECORD will
doubtless prove it in Canon City, as
other evening newspapers have done
in all parts of the country.

great one responded by falling off his
chair, another answered to his name
by sliding out at the door. "A man
wanted to see him." And another
lost and couldn't find her speech when
wanted, while all enjoyed the discom-

own. "reminiscences of former expert

canon's Fruit and Vegetable Vendors.

An industry that of late years has
grown to be Of great Importance to
this part of the Arkansas valley as
well as source of considerable reye-
nue. to Canon City is that of fruit and
vegetable peddling. Scarcely day
passes that one or more teams do not
leave the city for the mining camps
of the nearby districts loaded with
fruit and vegetables. Not only is this
true of the summer season but during
the winter months as well. As high
as ten separate outfits have started
from Canon City in a single day each
taking load valued all the way from
twenty to thirty-five dollars. This
means an average of S27.50 load
TO he producer.
some of the venders take their
goods to the Cripple Greek district,
some to Silver Cliff, while others go
70 Whitehorn and Fairplay. Each
figures sufficient profit to make good
wages enroute both ways, feed for
himself and horses and little be-
sides. Returning, this money is all
left right here, for. be II known. each
of these travelling merchants has a
home and family in Canon City and
he remains away only long enough to
dispose of his goods.
Placing the estimate. then, al the
extremely low average of three loads
a day for 365 days total Of 1895
wagon loads Of fruit and vegetables
find their way to the mining camps
each year from Canon City. Deduct
from this l56 loads for the 81 Sun
days that occur in a year and you
still have 9:9 loads TO sell. Suppos-
ing, for convenience sake, that this
truck nets the vender only $40 load
what do you get? Here are the fg-
ures, $9390. Quite snug little item
is il not? But the actual receipts are
away above this-not less than S4o,-
600, placing the average loads at five
e day and the gross receipts per lead
at $40.

Senator Frank Cannon is going
several leagues beyond the referen-
dunn theory. He says:
81 am in favor of doing away
with nominating conventions for
tbe president. This is the place
where corruption begins. If we had
no nominating conventions, but if
the whole question Of the election
of president were sphmitted to
popular vote, the people and not
the politicians would have their
way, and we would invariably Sc
lect a man whose life and character
represent the very best type Of states
manship. Fremont Co. News.
The light Of a new dawning is
breaking on the minds of thousands
81 our best thinkers, and they are
beginning to see that the power OF
the political boss and shyster must
be broken. American politics have
been dominated by wire pullers and
ward buns, SO long, that it will be
hard to make them let go, but let
80 they must, for the people are
studying, not only politics in the
abstract, but the science Of govern
ment, and that means humiliation
of the raseally politicians who have
impoverished the great masses of
our people.
In Idaho county the people are
preparing to throw off the yoke of
the old barnacles of democracy, who
have chung to the public crib so
long that they have nearly ruined
our fair county, and no doubt they
will have the effrontery to ask this
tax burdened people to elect them
once more.
We believe that the majority OF
the people have had a belly full of
democratic management, and that
when the election is over this fall
they will be found tout of Office"
In 1892 the democrats elected a
majority of representatives, who
were pledged to "silYer." DID they
stand by their pledges? They did
as they always have done, they
broke their solemn pledges to the
people at the dictation, or instigna-
tion of the one "whom the democrats
loved fer the enemies he had made
Don't trust them they have no use

troll their bum guzzling, wire pull
