A. O. U. W. CELEBRATION.
Canon City Crowded With Members
Of the Order -,nitiating nem-
bers by the Score.

Monday was A. o U. ". day in this
city. Royal Gorge Lodge No. 7 and
the Degree of Honor of this city put
their heads together, with Mr.. Tom
Parker as master of ceremonies. and
decided that it would be fine thing
to have the A. o. U. W. district cele-
bration held at Canon City, and SO it
was.
Monday, October 2S, found our
beautiful city filled with members of
the order from Pueblo, Coal Creek
and Florence. Royal Gorge Lodge
headed by the Peabody Military band,
marched to the union depot at one
O'Clock to receive the visiting dele
gates. A grand procession was
formed at the depot and marched to
the Elks' hall Composed of ladies
and gentlemen. each lodge carrying
appropriate banners the procession
presented an imposing appearance.
During the afternoon large num-
ber of candidates were initiated. AT
5:45 the banquet hall of the A. o U.
W. was thrown open and delegates
We're seated at tables ladened with all
the good things craved by the inner
man. 1t Is estimated that about 450
people enjoyed this feature.
In the evening exercises were held
at the opera house.
Mayor James II. Peabody, in his
usual happy manner, welcomed the
visitors Able addresses were deliv-
cred by S. S. Abbott. G. NJ. W; DR..
d. II. Shields, p. S. 81. W, and Rev
J. G. Tate, P. 6. NJ. W. Space for
bids more extended notice. 1t is suf
ticient to state that the opera house
was crowded to the doors and con-
tinted audience listened until a late
hour to the many appropriate re-
marks by the various speakers.

Sugar Beet Culture

The sugar beet crop in this locality
is being harvested. So far as we can
learn the yield has been quite salts
factory. Samples of the crop from
various ranches have been sent to the
factory at Rocky Ford, and from
these samples most encouraging re-
ports have been received.
A letter from official channels
states: The officers of the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar company have been
very much surprised by the results
of the field tests made of the sugar
beets grown about Canon City. These
tests have run on an average . pcr
cent. higher, as to sugar contents
than in any other part OF this (Ar-
kansas) valley, showing in some in
stances above Is per cent. ltis safe
to expect from IA to 9 per cent
higher tests when the beets are har-
vested and delivered at the factory. >
This showing must prove encour-
aging to those who started in sugar
beet culture this year, and will prove
an incentive to largely increase the
acreage for next year, and in this
many new ones will engage.

MIR. George ]. Gould, the active
head Of the greatest railroad system
in the world and who has recently be-
come interested in the Denver e. Rio
Grande, is visiting in Colorado on a
tour Of inspection.
Mayor Peabody sought to have Mr..
Gould visit this city at this time. At
this season it was impossible, but Mr..
Gould intimated that when the apple
blooms again he may be with us.
In acknowledging the invitation Mr..
Gould says:
DURANGO. Colo,

WN. HoGG, Pueblo:
deeply appreciate the kind invi.
tation of the mayor and council of
City City and would be only too glad
to spend couple of hours with them
driving through their fruit orchards
and pleasant avenues. but my many
pressing business engagements re-
quire me to forego this pleasure and
proceed on my way via LaVeta Pass.
Please say to the mayor and council
of Canon City that | hope to be in the
west next spring when their orchards
are in full bloom. and if possible will
then place myself at their disposal for
a couple of hours If it be agreeable
and convenient to them. Assure them
of my appreciation of their kind in
vitation.
