LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.

In the following proclamation Gov
ernor Orman set aside Monday, Sep
tember 2, as Labor Day, and asks
all citizens of the state to observe it
by ceasing to transact business:
In pursuance of the praiseworthy
custom heretofore established in this
state, and the due recognition of the
same by legislative enactment, of set
ting apart and naming a day to be
especially devoted to the claims of la
Dor, hereby announce Monday, Sep
tember 2, A. D. 1901, as Labor Day.
earnestly recommend and enjoin
upon all classes that the usual pur-
suits of business be allowed to lapse
for the space of day, and that the
occasion be fittingly observed in cere-
monies and pastimes in harmony there
with. Legislative recognition of the
dignity and Importance of labor i'm
poses alike upon all citizens of the
state the duty of its full observance.
Labor is the basis of civilization, the
forerunner of its establishment and
the guardian of its growth, and its
representatives are entitled to the
respect and full recognition of all
humanity. | deem it, therefore, meet
and proper that the tribute of appro-
pirate observation be accordingly be-
slowed upon the day rightly dedicated
to its cause

Jealous Dog Bite. Little Girl.

A little 5-year old girl residing at
the corner of Harrison and Twelfth
was severely bitten by jealous dog
Sunday afternoon. The dog pulled
the child from its mothers lap, biting
the child's legs and tearing her cloth
ing badly. The dog finally set its
teeth in the child's cheek, and it was
with difficulty that the brute was
made to release its hold. The father
promptly killed the dog. 1t was for
tunate the father was present, or the
child would probably have been
killed. DR.. Howe was called to dress
the wounds.

Do You Keep a Horse?

Keeping horse is fast becoming
luxury that only the very rich can
afford. Oats are going so high they
will soon be worth their weight in
gold. 1t is fact that they are now
worth more than -four, and it costs
more to feed a horse than it does a
man. The livery stables have suf-
fered to large extent, and they have
raised the price of board for horses
to $40 per month. If the price of
oats go much higher the price of
horses will certainly come down, for
many will be selling out.

cURRANT CREEK MINING.
The District Coming to the Front--
The Isabella Mine Good One, So
Says w. II. Murray, Its For
mer Owner.

For long time little has been said
about the mining industry in the Cur
rant Creek district, which is about
% miles northwest from Canon City
but tributary to it. There has been
much prospecting done and consider
able development work. But of all
this, little stir has been made on the
outside.
The Isabella mine is now owned by
Boston capitalists, who are spending
a large amount of money in scientif-
cally developing the property. 1t has
produced much ore which runs an
average value of about $3S and con-
sists of copper, silver and lead. The
body of ore is of good size and pays
handling without sorting. Some ma
chinery has been set up already, but
the company proposes to erect mills
to treat the ore on the ground if the
present tests show the permanency
of the vein and values. Mr. E. NJ.
Lamont, of this city, has the proper
ty in charge.
The RECORD is glad to note the en-
couraging reports coming in from
the Currant Creek district, and trusts
it may develope into busy mining
center.

ambitions are laudable in the extreme.
 The question is, how may we rise? How
 may we secure good position soonest,
 and how obtain promotion quickest?
 Let us consider for moment. Did
 you ever know a good business man to
 go to the gang of street loafers for a
 clerk? Did you ever hear of bank
 president going to the saloon for his cashier? Did you ever know of mer- chant, when he was looking for fore man or a manager promote to that re- sponsible position that man among his clerks who spent the most time shoot ing craps or playing the red? We nev- CT did And We never heard of a busl- ness man objecting to his clerks at tending church on the Sabbath day. This much is true, young man; you will never be less good, less earnest, less conscientious, less desirable for at tending church. If attendance does not help you any it most assuredly will not harm you. One never learns anything bad or profane or immoral or dishonest in church. What you do learn is inspir. Ing and not degrading.
