The Gold Watch.

Guessing on the gold watch. pre-
sented by MIR. c. C. Patton, created
much interest. Several thousand
guesses came in. and they ranged all
the way from 20 up to 80, ,S69. 1923.
MIR. P. NJ. Linneer proved to be the
lucky guesser. His guess was 637,-
.974 and as the total vote cast was
63T, 800, it will be seen that Mr..
Linneer's guess was remarkably close
much closer than any other. Mr..
Linneer can get the gold watch by
calling upon Mr.. Patton.

Would BE Proper.

To encourage the members of the
Peabody Military Band in q practical
way, and at the same time show their
appreciation of the Bands concerts,
some of the ladies are contemplating
giving an ice cream evening on the
City Park during the concert, when
they will serve ice cream and cake at
10 cents, and lemonade at 5 cents a
glass. This can be done only through
responding freely to call for dona-
tions of cake and cream or money.
Ladies' are requested to leave their
names and amount of donation with

evening could be made ! most enjoya-
Bile and very remunerative one for
the Band boys,

The Lady OF Lyons.

Tuesday evening at the opera house
in this city, the graduating class of
the public school rendered the Lady
Lyon" in a realistic way, before a
large and appreciative audience. The
parts were well taken, and the ease
and grace of the performers held the
audience throughout. Under the
efficient direction of Miss Brooks of
Colorado Springs, the young people
spent much time in preparing for
this most successful entertainment.
The class of 1901 deserves the ap-
plause of the public, for its members
have worked with untiring energy
during the closing month of school
in this city, and as they start out
in the broader spheres Of life, their
friends wish for them useful and
happy life.

And the Floods Came and Washed
fountain and Dale, Flooding the
Streets Of Canon City-Much
Damage Wrought By the
Monday Night Storm.

Last Monday night Canon City was
visited by a severe storm of rain,
accompanied by terrific thunder and
lightning. The storm commenced at
about six o'clock, but fooled around
until nearly seven, and until people
began to think it wouldn't be much of
storm anyway, when it settled down
to business, and the water descended
in the same manner as when Noah
had prepared for the deluge. And
for nearly three hours there was little
If any cessation in the downpour.
The bitches and cutters wer. filled
with rushing muddy water, which
quickly covered street and sidewalk,
carrying away in its onrush the cul-
verts and bridges and the street
crossings. Several stores and cellars
were flooded, and considerable dam
age is reported. The excavations
and cellars of the Smith and Coulter
blocks, also the DR.. Ward sanitarium,
were filled with water. Throughout
the city the same condition prevailed,
and at times, under the lightnings
fash, the city presented the appear
ance Of beautiful lake in a grove.
The amount of water that fell is
variously estimated from two and
one-haif to three inches. The time
occupied in falling did not exceed
three hours.
The city bitches overflowed their
banks and added to the CONSERVATION.
The Arkansas river became a seeth-
ing torrent, filled with driftwood.

ments Of the bridges. backing up the
water until it seemed the river must
leave its banks and food the bottoms

point was passed during the early
morning hours.
Oak Greek and Grape Greek were
out for a nights lark, not with the
boys, but with the elements, and from
the appearance Of the country, had a
high old time of it. Roads washed
out and bridges carried away, bear
testimony as to the amount of water
that poured down the mountain sides,
The railroads were blockaded and
travel suspended for several hours,
The cultivated sidehills must have
suffered considerable damage from

In many places large pools of water
are still standing, while mud abounds
in vacant lots. In striking contrast
is the appearance on Main street,
where yesterday the dust was blow
ing in clouds.

he was sure w0ulO Dflng IN MS needrul
expenses. He had reckoned on about
So week as the lowest sum that
would carry him through. II he could
get that much on some regular job and
then add to 1t by picking up other work
in various ways, he thought he could
make his way. But how to get any
regular work was the question.
He sat in the room one morning
when Preston was out seriously cUnsid-
ering his prospects and resolved to
start out after dinner after anything
he could find, when Thad Rankin came
in.
Rankin roomed just across the hall,
and Edward had not exchanged doz-
en- words with him since coming back.
He asked Rankin to take a chair and
wondered what he had called to see
him for.
might as well come to business at
once, | suppose" said Rankin, who
was rather fine looking fellow, dress
ed exceedingly well and was the son Of
one of the colleges financial support
ers. the man who had put up the dor
mitory named after him.
Edward nodded and waited curiously
for him to go on.
1--WE bought paper route" contin-
ued Rankin little VIGOROUSLY, trying
to be Indifferent. "You know the fell
lows carry daily papers here to work
their way through"
Eyes; l know. wanted to get a
route, but couldn't raise the money"
YOU'RE right. They come high. Well,
my father wanted me to do something
for myself, SO he bought route for me
and says l am to manage it for my
current expenses. OF course don't
want to carry the papers myself, but
want to find fellow who will, and |
will pay him good price. l want to
rent the route, you understand, and get
my share out of it."
How much of route is it," asked
Edward. He had heard the boys talk
about their routes. but was not very
familiar with the matter.
IT'S one Of the best routes in the
city" Rankin went on to give details
/ concerning the location of the route.
the number Of the subscribers. the time
it took to make the delivery and SO on.
Edward listened eagerly.
I'm give So Il week for carrying if
you'll take it," Rankin finally pro-
posed.
"That seems fair" said Edward. The
way seemed opening for his expenses.
in way. too. that meant little or 10
loss of time or strength needed for col
lege work.
"Of course l don't mind telling you. "
continued Rankin. that it is rule Mt
the Office that the owner of a route
must carry the papers himself. But it's
rule that Is disregarded good deal,
and the fellows all understand it."
Edward looked at Rankin quietly and
said. "Do you mean that shall have to
pretend that own the route which
really rent from you"
"Why. yes, If you want to put 1t in
that way. We can make arrangements
about that so that the proprietor of the
paper and the other fellows need not
know anything about it. 1t will be your
route to all intents and purposes, just
the same as II Won owned it."
