The Cantaloupe Outlook as
Seen by Mr.. Wetzel.

The Western Poultry & Game
Co. writes the various associations
of the valley as follows:
The prospects for Colorado
melons were never brighter in the
history of your state, because
First, the peach crop of the
whole United States has been
frozen out entirely. This being
our biggest competitor, will leave
us, in that respect, an open field
for melons.
Second, we have our arrange
ments complete as we never had
them before, though we thought
we had a perfect system. We
have added 30 manv advantages
that nothing but acts of provi-
dence can stop it.
Third, your valley is organized
as it has never been organized be-
fore.
Fourth, your acreage will be
less than it has been heretofore,
which is doubly favorable to those
who are raising melons.
Fifth, we intend to turn over to
your association our services and
equipments and machinery for the
purpose of marketing your water
melons or anything else you may
have, throughout your state or in
other sections of the country. and
our charges will be nothing more
than actual cost of operating and
pay us for our service.
Our object is to make a success
for you. If wa do this, we are
sure to succeed, but the most i'm
portant thing for you and your as
sociation to do is to keep your
men together. Our work 10 done
and with my services on the
ground, results are bound to be
flattering.

INTERESTING
INFORMATION
Concerning a New and I'M
portant Business Enter
prise,

PAAo0s
The following we clip from the
Canon City Record:
The incorporation of company
that deserves more than passing
notice is that of the Gibson Lum-
ber Co. Besides their mammoth
yard here at Canon City, the COM
pany has opened yards and is put
ting in stocks at Rocky Ford, Flor
ence, Cripple Greek, Lamar, Wind
sor and at Waverly, Morgan coun-
ty. Illinois.
The yard of the Gibson Lumber
company at this place is now in
full running order. The location
on Eighth street, near the Denver
e. Rio Grande depot, is the best
possible place in the city. The
equipment of the yard is first
class, being, we are sure, better
than any yard in the state, in
towns the size of Canon. Every
thing in the yard is shielded and
made convenient by much private
trackage.
Mr.. Gibson also owns a valua-
BILE lumber yard in Cripple Greek,
fully equipped with sheds and pri-
vate tracks. The story of this
Cripple Creek yard is we'll known
to many Canon people. From it
in one year Mr.. Gibson cleared
enough to erect for himself the
finest residence in Fremont coun-
ty and laid aside enough to mate
rally increase his lumber inter-
ests in the state. That was in the
boom days of Cripple Greek, just
before aud after the fire. Then
$1,000 to $500 was only q fair
days business with them.
At Rocky Ford the yard, book &C.
counts end other assets Of the New
ton Lumber Co. hsve been pur-
chased outright and delivered to tho
Gibson Lumber company.
At Florence the Fremont Lum-
ber company has passed into the
hands of the Gibson Lumber COM
pany.
Yards are also being opened at
Lamar and Windsor, where stock
is being put in as fast as possible.
At Waverly, Illinois. the A. W.
jarrett Lumber company has sold
its entire interests to our Canon
people, and now Mr.. Gibson has
Just returned from Boulder, where
he has been looking for a favora-
BILE location.
The Gibson Lumber company
will receive the best wishes and
hearty support of the people about
Canon, and we predict their sue
cess will be as great in every 9TH
or location.
The company is known to have
the ability, the means and the par
ties interested have always been
fair and reasonable in their meth
ods. Two of the directors reside
in Canon City and the town hasn't
two more enterprising and more
respected men than these two
Messrs. D. E. Gibson and G. A.
Biggs. Both have acquired con-
siderable amount of wealth, COM
paratively early in life, each by
his own ability.
We have already mentioned the
achievements of Mr.. Gibson, and
all over the, state people know of
the Biggs Lumber company, now
the Burns-Biggs Lumber compa-
ny of Chama, New Mexico. When
Mr.. Biggs started the company
twenty years ago he had a little
saw mill up in the mountains,
while now the company has vast
holdings and employs hundreds
of men.
To mention the names of D. Z.
Gibson and G. A. Biggs is all that
is necessary to prove that the
Gibson Lumber company will be
success.
