On last Saturday the Fremont
County Horticultural society met in
regular session. There were in At
tendance from thirty to forty Of our
fruit growers, the best attendance
known for long time. In the ab-
sence of the president, Mr.. Gravestock,
B. F. Rockafellow acted as chairman.
The meeting was q very important
and interesting one. Many of the
orchard pests and remedies were
fully discussed, among them the use
of tobacco as an insecticide and fer
tilizer. 1t was said by one gentleman
that he used tobacco stems around
nursery trees last year to kill woody
aphis; this great tree pest was nearly
destroyed and the trees many
of them made growth of two to five
feet last season. In transplanting
this spring he only found one tree af-
fected. The gentleman also stated
that the tobacco cost, laid down here,
one and one-half cents per pound.
Tobacco is worth trying in this cspac-
ity; for using. scatter from three to
four pounds around trunk and main
roots Of large trees. A committee
was appointed to ascertain the lowest
price at which the tobacco could Be
purchased.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
adding the usual amount Of Paris
Green for coddling moth, was also thor
oughly discussed. Many present ex-
pressed their intention of using this
formula this season.
A resolution was passed unanimous
ly, That in the sense Of the meeting
it was necessary that fruit inspec-
tor should be appointed for the cur
rent year, beginning about June l.
1901 Thurston White was recon-
n,ended to the county commissioners
for re-appointment. Mr.. White was
also rendered vote OF thanks for his
past services in this Office.
The meeting then adjourned to as
semble again on the first Saturday in
May for annual election Of officers,
and to discuss any subject that may
come up at that time.

1t has been at last definitely settled
that Canon City was surrounded by
every wealth that generous Nature
could bestow, and slowly but surely
these storehouses are being unlocked
And now after every conceivable dis.
couragement has been removed, en-.
terprise and capital are being EN-.
ployed to develop the wonderful guam.
tity of oil which lies concealed in
Webster and Eight Mile Parks. Alta
later date it is thought that Garden
Park will be scientifically prospected
At present the work is being prin.
cipally confined to Webster Park
which lies between six and eight
miles west of Canon City. Oil was
known to exist in this particular To-
cality as early as 1872, at which
time fine samples of oil rock were
brought in. 1t was then nothing un-
common to find oil floating on the sur
face of the waters. There was then,
however, no demand for oil lands.
Such is not now the case. In conse-
quence of this demand a number of
our citizens have associated them
selves together and taken up about
nine full quarter-sections of land,
seven of which have been located and
fully surveyed at this time, and steps
are being taken to fully comply with
the law relating to the taking up of
oil lands. Those interested in this
deal are: W. D. Howe, r. G. Miller,

NEW HIGH SCHOOL. {
canon's New Structure VIII be One
Of the Finest ID the State.
Plans by . Colorado
Springs Architect.

The Colorado Springs Gazette ON
Sunday contained the welcome news
to Cahonites that the much talked of
new high school building has become
fact, and that the contract for the
plans had been awarded to T. P. Bar
ber, of Colorado Springs. Speaking
of the new building, the Gazette says:
Canon City's new, handsome high
school building will be built according
to plans and specifications made by
Architect T. P. Barber, of this city.
This was settled yesterday when
the committee from the Canon City
high school board awarded him the
contract after visit of inspection in
Denver. The Leadville high school
building in Leadville was designed by
Mr.. Barber, and this piece of archi-
lecture, together with others, led the
Canon City committee and board to
award him the contract without COM
petition.
The proposed new school building
will be one of the handsomest in that
section of the state when completed.
Mr.. Barber will have the supervision
of the construction. He has outlined
the plans and specifications and ex-
poets to have them finished shortly,
that work on the building may be in
augurated in the early summer. The
exact cost of the structure has not
been determined.
1t will be a three-story brick and
stone basement building, with a total
capacity of $50 pupils. The base
ment will be occupied by the heat and
ventilating plant, also an apartment
for manual training. The superin-
tendent's offices, four recitation
rooms and cloak repository will take
up the first floor. An assembly hall,
modernly equipped and with the best
of acoustics, seating $50 persons,
will be on the second floor, together
with physical and chemical labora-
tory, and laboratory lecture room.
The third floor will be left unfinished,
but later will be devoted to recita-
tiops, drawing and music.
The board of school directors has
finally determined the location for the
new high school building. The block
at the corner of Ninth and College is
the site, and this will place the new
building just east of the residence of
VIM. 7. Bridwell.

Tho council met in special session
last Saturday night to close up some
unfinished business. examine filsl re-
ports. etc. All the members were
present.
The matter of injured horse, pre-
sented by Chas. Swanson. was re-
ported unfavorably, but upon consid-
GRAFTON by the council warrant in
the amount of $3.50 was ordered
drawn in Mr.. Swanson's favor.
Contract was entered into with F.
A. Reynolds, who is to supply resi-
dents in Hardings Addition with water
for lawn and garden purposes during
the irrigation season of 1901, the
price being $500. The committees
recommendation and the resolution
read as follows:
"In view of the number of houses
now being built within the city and
that will be built in the near future,
which will increase the demand for
water from the water works. as will
also the supplying of the Canon City
and Cripple Creek R. R. and its shops
with water, we believe that it would
be economy to rent said water for the
use of the people under said ditch to
irrigate their lawns and gardens, and
thereby decrease the demand for
water from the water works to that
extent.
"We would therefore recommend
that said water be rented at the
above price for the season with the
distinct understanding that everyone
under said ditch be allowed to use all
that is necessary to irrigate their
lawns and gardens"
Resolved, by the City Council of
the City Of Canon City, that we do
contract with Mr.. F. A. Reynolds for
the use Of sufficient water from the
Fruitland ditch to irrigate all lawns,
gardens and trees on the streets Of
this city under said ditch for. the sum
Of $500 for the irrigation season of
1901.
The street supervisor was instructed
to open up all irrigating bitches in
Harding's Addition under the Fruit
land ditch.
The city attorney WAS ordered to
assist Mr. C. c. Dawson in defending
the city's interests in the injunction
suits, attempting to restrain the city
from changing the arc light service.
Reports Of city clerk. treasurer and
water superintendent were ordered
published.
Bids for excavating for the new
water main were opened and contract
awarded to J. N. Gambill at 10 cents
per foot; said Gambill to furnish good
and sufficient bond for faithful per-
formance of the work.

A r,ove In the Right Dissection.

The Harding Bros. have secured
from Thos. S. Wells the fve-acre
tract of land adjoining the shops and
round house of the Canon City &
Cripple Creek railroad, and will
at once cause the same to be laid
off into lots, the number of which will
be between thirty and forty. These
lots are to be put on the market at a
moderate price and sold on easy terms,
and will be held almost exclusively for
the benefit of the railroad employees.
This is move in the right direc-
tion, and will enable the railroad men
to own homes close to their work.
The older residents here will remem-
ber the location, it having been known
as the Wells pear orchard.
