Jesse Cox, formerly of the East
End Market, is saving bones at
Weaver 4 Bonds, taking the place of
Bert Blackburn, who is seeking a
suitable location to engage in business
for himself. Jesse has been living in
Florence for several months, but says
he is glad to be back in Canon again,
and from the cordial handshaking he
has received from his friends, one
would judge they were happy to have
him return.
The pioneer shoe store of A. H.
Davis, at 313 Main street, has been
remodeled in such way as to make
it very neat and attractive. Among
the improvements is new floor, new
shelving the entire length of the east
side of the room, and new partition
separating the wOrkroom from the
store room. Walls and ceiling nicely
papered complete the newness of ap-
pearance and gives Mr.. Davis hat
he has long desired-a cosy business
place.
The scenes of the Arkansas valley
between Pueblo and Canon City are
indeed interesting. The agricultural
resources of the valley are becoming
important while the great coal and oil
fields lead the procession in the West.
The apple orchards of Canon City have
earned worldwide reputation. To
the north rise the rugged peaks that
mark the location of Americas great
est Bonanzaland, reached from Florence
by the Florence & Cripple Creek rail-
road Searchlight.
Through the efforts of Dali De-
Weese teams and men will begin work
tomorrow on Ninth street south of
the river. Beginning at the bridge
the street will be graded, shaled and
sanded to the foot of the hill. The
expense will be borne entirely by resi-
dents and property holders along the
thoroughfare and on Lincoln Park.
MIR. DeWeese is entitled to good
deal of credit for this stroke of en-
terprise, and his example should be
followed by Northsiders.
The RECORD always takes pride in
chronicling the ventures of Canon
boys whether at home or casting their
fortunes in other States. Hence it
is that we call attention to the bust
ness venture of Mr.. Chas. ]. Kinnel,
who has recently embarked in the
jewelry business in our city. Mr..
Kinnel is not stranger to Canon
patrons. having been associated with
the M. N. Teape jewelry firm for the
past six or seven years. He is now
located two doors south of the post
Office, on Fifth street, and carries a
general stock of jewelry, watches and
clocks. In addition to this he also
conducts . general repair department
and guarantees all of his work in
that line
