These are the bills which wer e

at the annual session of the ASSOCIATE

Publishers have never been able
to make the courts understand

not filed with type, cost just as
much to set up, as printed matter
Senaor Taylor's bill. provides tor
the payment for the use OF this
space, just the same as if it was
printed matter.
Again there has been miss
understanding as to what copsti~
tuted folio and how much should
be paid for the publishing of same.
Each court interpreted the law to
suit itself Now all this is deter
mined by these bills and much
more.
The writer, as president Of the
Colorado Editorial association, ex>
presses the deep gratatude OF the
members of the association to those
members of the house and the
senate who acted as sponcers tor
these bills and whose labor was
given cheerfully to secure their
passage Not one item in any of the
bills is unjust or discrimination
against the rights of any citizen and
their passage will end the contro>
versies which have long existed be-
tween boards OF county commits
sioners and publishers. They took
it upon themselves to define what
should be paid for legal printing
in many instances and also what
constituted legal matter which
caused much trouble and no end
OF litigation.
No class of people have been
SO much Disseminated against by
the laws of the state as newspaper
publishers and when these bills be-
come laws as they most certainly
will, they will only be securing
their just rights.
Saturday was good day for
publishers.

First he entered the academic depart.
ment, studying some four or five years,
and then took a two years course in
the Agricultural department, finishing
his studies mere by carrying off $50
gold medal for the best essay on dairy
stock
Meantime Blackstone has been his
favorite study and when he left the
University il was as full-fedged
disciple of legal lore.
The West loomed up to him as the
bright spot where brains and hard
work would win the greatest reward
and he moved to Colorado, locating
in Huerfano County. Here he re-
manned for five years. when he moved
to Canon City, where he has resided
ever since.
About his large practice and fame
as lawyer nothing need be said,
for those who employ him know 1t.
and those against him are5 convinced
of it after the first case. AS n citizen
he is liked by the whole community
for there is nothing that will advance
the interests of Canon City that does
not appeal to him successfully.
1t is almost impossible that a man
of the calibre OF Jos. II. Maupin could
keep out of politics. He does not
banker after them, but his friends.
and they are legion, realize that n
deep-dyed-in-the-w Democrat like
him is a bulwark to the party. You
cannot find an instance when the
Maupins were not Democrats and
time does not change them. Locally.
he takes a warm interest in the party
and is always ready to help them
along. looking for no reward other
than the partys success. True, he has
had honors thrust upon him, but as
Attorney for Fremont County he has
served all the people. irrespective of
party, and this can only be looked
upon as a tribute to his worth from
his fellow townsmen.
In 1890 he was elected Attorney
General of the State, and in 1892 was
the party's standard bearer for Gov
ernor, although he had no hope of
election. but Just desired to have his
party represented. Last year he was
prominently mentioned for the nomi-
nation for Governor, but political com
binations beat him out.
AS a man, Jos. II. Maupin is liked
by all. His personality is as refresh
ing as the proverbial April shower,
and he has that character that enables
him to stand up for that which is
right and battle with overwhelming
odds Co help the wronged or op-
pressed. Canon City is proud of her
more SO than Jos. II. Maupin.

he was born, not SO very many years
ago. He came to Colorado in 1886
and located in Denver. where he be-
came identified with the Geo. Tritch
Hardware Company. For four years
he remained in their employ when he
moved to Canon and became associated
with Struby. Estabrook & Co., posi-
ton he held for nine years, until he
was elected to his present office.
Mr.. Kohlman has always been a
consistent Republican and has ever la
bored earnestly for the good of the
party. Since being in Canon he has
taken considerable interest in public
affairs, and that his work in this di-
rection was appreciated is shown by
his election to the town board, where
he served four years, and the holding
of his present Office.
Accommodating to all, genial in man
ner and of strict integrity, he has dis

Canon City has never grown by
brag, bluster or Fourth of July celebra-
tions, but by steady plodding and deep
thinking, and Jos. H. Marpin never
became known by newspaper articles,
or church meetings, but by hard work
at the bar and able service to those
who confided their interests to his
care.
1t was something like forty-five
years ago when the subject of our
sketch first opened his eyes in that
particular part of the universe known
as Missouri, and he liked it SO well
that he made his home there for some
twenty years. His early days were
spent amid the surroundings that
have, in the majority of cases, devel-
oped men both vigorous in mind and
body, and this case is no exception.
Left without a fathers care at an
early age, he having given his life for
his country in the Civil War, Jos. II.
Maupin had to face the battles of
life early and with his brothers and
sisters worked the farm and tended
school between times.
His mothers farm was located close
to Columbia, Mo-, so that Joe" could
not but help become enthused on the
subject of education, and many times
when he looked at the big university
buildings the hope sprang eternal in
his breast that he should tread those
halls of learning. He had his wish.

1t is satisfaction to the people OF
Fremont County that in selecting w.
NJ. Bridges for the office of assessor
they did not err in their Judgment,
for since he undertook the duties he
has discharged them in a manner that
amply justifies the wisdom of their
choice.
He first saw the light of day in ''auld
Scotia" but when boy came with
his parents to Pennsylvania. Twenty
one years ago he came to Colorado,
locating at Coal Creek, where he re-
sided many years.
Mr.. Bridges has always espoused
Republican principles and his active
interest in the party's welfare is
shown by the fact that he was a
delegate to the State Republican Con
vention that nominated Governor
Cooper. He was for two terms a mem
ber of the town board of Coal Creek,
and in 1899 was nominated for the Of
flee of assessor and elected by d ma
jority of 400.
AS assessor his work speaks for
itself, for he is conservative in his
Judgment of values, which is shown
by his work of this year, expert in his
work and OF undoubted integrity.
Having the confidence of the taxpay-
ers, his office has been conducted in
manner that has won universal ap-
proval.

ticaI Surveyor and Civil Engineer

To successfully conduct the busi-
ness of surveyor and civil engineer
calls for specific training that is not
demanded in many other walks of life.
Hence it comes that he who would
climb the ladder of success in this
profession must labor industriously to
perfect himself in all its multitude
nous details.
The subject of our sketch, Mr.. w.
R. Smythe, has had many years ex-
perience in the profession, having
been for some eighteen years located
in Eastern Dakota, where he followed
that line of work exclusively. He is a
practical man in every sense of the
term, whose work can be relied on
for absolute accuracy, while his
charges are most reasonable.
Mr.. Smythe came to Canon City
some six months ago on account of
his wife's health, and after looking
over the field concluded to locate.
Since he commenced business he has
received a most flattering patronage,
which is daily extending.

Since then It has been conducted by
Mr.. Bethel alone and has gained n

The fittings of the store are modern

HON. JOS. H. MAUPIN.
A Prominent Lawyer of Colorado and
Attorney of Fremont County.

There are a great number of peo-
pie, mostly those who have never Wis
tied it, who say Canon City is sleepy
old place, and that comparatively few
of her citizens have the necessary hus-
tie to get there" Well. it may be
quiet, beautiful and most delightful
spot to live in thus giving an air of
sweet repose, but nevertheless right
in that little burg you will find some
of the most progressive and ablest
men in Colorado. In this article we
have not room, nor is 1t intended to
mention them all, but just to refer
to one-"Honest Joe" to thousands,
and the Hon. Jos. II. Maupin to thou
sands more.
No man or woman who knows him
will ever complain of lack of hustle

a reputation, for it only helps to draw
attention to the general excellence
of his stock and thereby gains him
patronage. OF no undertaking can
the above words be better applied in
illustration than in the case of Fl. A.
Albright. one of Canon's leading gro
cery houses.
This business is an old established
one, but was purchased about year
ago by Mr.. Albright, who came here
from Salida. Since acquiring it he
has had the store enlarged and it is
now of the dimensions of A by 12O
feet and has storage rooms of 40 by so
feet in the second story. OF his stock
of goods little need be said other than
that one purchase will demonstrate
the fact that they are staple and fancy
groceries of high grade, and that ev-
erything to be obtained in large city
stores is here to be found.
Prices are very reasonable and
prompt service is given by competent
assistants and two delivery wagons.
Mr.. H. A. Albright was resident
of Chaffee County for twenty years
before coming here, and moved to
Canon to obtain the advantages of
our social and religious life. He is
a man that is honorable, enterprising
and public-spirited, and in his newly
adopted home town he takes a warm
interest and is ever ready to advance
its welfare.
The store of A. H. Albright stands
in the front rank of our popular trad
ing centers, for his motto is the

In 1898 he was appointed Under
Sheriff and how his services have been
appreciated can best be judged by the
fact that he has retained the posi-
tion ever since. Mr.. Simon is Re
publican and has always taken an act
i've interest in the fortunes of the
party and been a worker for the ad-
vancement of its principles.
A man of keen discernment. with
strong will and being thoroughly re
liable, he has done much to control
the lawless element in the county.
Truly, Mr.. Simon can look back upon
his record in public Office with pride.
as throughout 1t is marked with a con-
scientious devotion to duty irrespec-
tive of fear or favor. Firm, courteous
and OF the highest integrity, he is
popular with all who know him.

In filling the various offices per-
tanning to the preservation of the
peace and maintaining the good name
our county has acquired as a law-abid-
ing community, it is absolutely desir-
able that men be selected who have
had specific training in such work and
who possess the necessary amount OF
forbearance, tact and good judgment
to be able 10 control without severity
or cause friction between any section
or class.
Fremont County has several such
men, but none command those excel
