Or. Howe's Sanitarium, Canon City.
There are few diseases to-day that
the physicians skill cannot combat
for they have called to their aid every
possible invention or medicine known
to man. One drawback to successful
treatment of serious cases is the
custom of patients being treated in
their homes, due in a great measure
to the dread of going into a public
hospital and the absence of any pri-
yate place equally well equipped.
II was to fill this want that DR.. War.

Lying in the northeast part of
Canon is a large. beautiful residence
section known as Harding's addition.
This plat of land was laid out, plated
and put on the market fifteen years
ago by Harding Bros. 1t embraces
200 acres of land, about 1900 lots,
and lays just east of Raymond
Heights.
During the past dozen years this
section has built up wonderfully fast
and now IL has many of the best
homes in Canon City.

River Notes of Interest.

Fol- the first time this winter the
Ohio river is closed at this point and
unless the weather moderates immed-
lately or there is a substantial rise the
river Will remain at a %standstill. The
river is now gorged at two places be-
low and at one above and BY this
morning 1T will be closed in front of
this city. The St. Mary's gorge now
extends to Darlington, and has been
MADE very solid by the cold weather of
the week. Yesterday people were cross
Ing on the ice at SistersviIle. and it
10 saia II n weather continues cold
they can transport freight across IN
wagons tomorrow.
EARLY yesterday morning the ice
gonged at Mound1yille, but the water
backed up behind and forced the gorge
out. At 8 o'clock the river again gorg-
ed, TINS time at a point below Mounds
vile. At the same time a gorge form
ed at Glendale and this held the ice
from above back for a time, and when
IL finally broke, the lower gorge had
beer strengthened by the cold so as
to be able to stand the immense strain
that was brought to bear upon it.
The ice piled up against this. and
being large and heavy, extended I'D the
river rQ RlnlN nn1 hry IN orJo@l -
again reached Glendale, and shortly
after noon had extended to McMechen.
AT . O'Clock the gorge had extended
to McMann's and was visible from the
Rose and Morgan coal works at Bel
lalre, and by dark it had extended to
the B. q 0. bridge at the latter city.
The river will be closed in 'front.' of
this city by daylight. Last night there
was about one and one half feet of
back water recorded on the marks at
the wharbboat, but there is no other
change in the river, it being station
AIRY at nearly all points. The only
boats in the ice are the Bellaire and
West Wheeling ferryboat and the Liz
zie Townsend, but these boats are not
in any great danger were the river
suddenly to break up.
Yesterday, Captain Crochard had ex-
ira lines put out from the wharfboat
and the shore ice cut away from the
boat and everything there has been
prepared to receive the ice.
Yesterday morning the river closed
at Gables Eddy, but later broke. Last

Second-Let ue have a gun tax OF
one dollar per year on resident hunt
ers, the applicant to procure from a
justice of the peace a license descript-
i've OF himself, his place of residence,
ETC., with seal and signature of the
ofhcer issuing it, the hunter to be re-
quired to produce such license on de-
mand Of any officer OF the law or OF
the owner Of tenant of the land on
which he may be hunting. This
license would be a tracer to e~yil-doers
and make it easier to round them UP.
Third-Pface a bounty of so cents
per head on hawks, this bounty to be
paid from the gun tax fund. TINS
would enable the farmer boy to pay
his gun tax, and it would also make
him one of the best game wardens in
the State, as he would exterminate the
quaifs most deadly enemy, the awk

be made in a day would solve the re-

outpcS, lkltccu qudilS, hFC PhSUocS
and ten squirrels. The numbers men
toned above would be enough for a
sportsman, as the average sportsman
does not often exceed the above limit.
But there are a few crack shots who
love to boast of their wonderful skill.
and to place no restriction on such
men means the exteI mination OF whole
families of quails and the country soon
becomes as bare Of game as if struck
by some terrible pestilence.
Fifth-Make a proper open season
on each species of game, and not jun
BILE all together as is the case at pres
emf. How a twenty-day open season
for all game could have become a law
is more han the average sportsman
can understand.
Our State game warden seems to take
about as much interest in game pro-
lection and the sportsmen of Okio as
he would in an Egyptian mummy. His
shins were certainly toasted long
enough at the State house radiators for
him to keep next to any legislative
move hat might be made, but it looks
as though he cared nothing for fish,
fowl. farmer or sportsman, as long as
his political job is safe. The appoint
ment of a game warden should be based
on merit. A warden should be some
thing of a naturalist and should de-
vote his leisure time TO the study of
game and fish and their habits. The
office of game warden should be devoid
of any political jobbery, SO a man
would not have to stultify himself and
his friends to get it or to hold it when
once he had been appointed.
