200. Here are 1925 given employ
ment in one industry. Quite large
percentage are heads of families, and
in all probability represent 5000 or
more souls These must all be fed
, and clothed. Do the merchants here
see wherein is the milk in the cocoa
nut?"
Now as tol wages. These vary
from $2.62 to 1913 per day. This
is not an isolated reference, but actu-
ally covers a period of one year and
represents dayssof actual work. The
RECORD has been furnished the fol-
lowing scale, based on one years
average: Coal Creek miners receive
$3.50 per day; Fremont, $2.62; Rock
vale, $2.7S; Brookside, $3.13; Chan
dler, 5.
Work during the past year has
been steady, the greatest drawback
being at intervals alshortage of cars,
but this has not materially interfered.
Let our merchants study this pro-
position over carefully and determine
upon plan which, when put into
operation, will draw the bulk of this
trade to Canon City.

Preparing to Build.

Messrs. Baker & Biggs. the enter
prising general dry goods and 9TH
ing merchants Of this city, are TAX
ing the preliminary steps looking to
the erection of large and imposing
business block to accommodate the
large and rapidly increasing business.
The new store will be located at the
corner of Sixth and Main, joining the
RECORD block on the east. The
structure win have frontage Of 66
feet and will be two stories in height.
1t is expected their stock will demand
all the space on both floors.
The gentlemen were both in Pueblo
and Colorado Springs few days ago
looking over the large business houses
in those cities, getting pointers from
the experience of those who have put
up business houses for themselves.
When Baker & Biggs do build. and
they will doubtless begin early next
spring, they will calculate on having
one Of the best and most convenient
stores that money will put up.

THE COAL MINES.
Their Importance to Fremont County
--Canon City Merchants Should
Reach Out After the Trade
of the Timers.

Few people in Fremont county
fully appreciate the Importance OF
coal mining to the county and to the
wage Garner. The prominent mines
at work during the past year are
known as the Coal Creek, Fremont,
Rockvale and Brookside, owned and
operated by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company, with headquarters at Den
yer and Pueblo. The mines at Chan
dler are controlled by the Victor Fuel
company. All these properties have
been actively at work during the past
year. The many hundreds Of men
employed means a large monthly pay
roll. This means that thousands of
tons of coal are shipped out of the
county each month, which means
large source of revenue.
Do our citizens, more especially the
business men, realize the Importance
of these camps to the county, but
more especially to Canon City? Are
the merchants catering to that trade
as they should? If not, they are los
ing large volume Of business, the
benefits of which should flow through
the varied commercial channels of
this city. If they have not been do
ing this, lit is time to begin now.
Bear in mind this fact With an cleo
trio railway between this city and
Florence, which is now under construc-
tion, when completed will open up
new trading territory. 1t is the aim
of the company to rnu branches into
the camps noted above. This will af-
ford direct and rapid communication
between the two cities and with these
camps. Here, then, lies golden op-
portunity. Canon needs the business,
and the RECORD is confident that our
local TneTCudLlS Cdu anu VIII oiCi 90
great inducements to the wage earn
ers to trade here as may be necessary.
1t is true the road is not yet COM
pleted, but the time to begin work is
now.
In order to fully impress this mat
ter upon our merchants we quote a
few statistics. The daily tonnage for
some time has been 1900, and is di-
vided as follows: Coal Creek, 400;
Fremont, 500; Chandler, 500; Rock
vale, 600; Brookside. 600. Arrange
ments are now being perfected to in
crease the capacity of the Chandler
mine to 1000 tons daily. The vari-
GUS mines employ men as follows:

Pushing Work.

Manager Lewis, of the Webster
Park Oil company, reports everything
moving along most encouragingly at
tbe new well, which has reached a
depth of more than 400 feet. The
report that water was causing trou-
BILE last week was exaggerated. No
water ever got nearer than 200 feet
of the surface. 1t was thought the
part of wisdom to case it off, how
ever. and this was successfully and
speedily done.

NEARING COMPLETION.
The New Public nigh, School Building
and Lyman Rodison's APEX
Block.

Despite the difficulties with the
brick makers, the local plants are
turning out large quantities of brick
each week. These are being used
about as fast as made, not alone,
however, in new buildings in this
city. There are, however, several
buildings in process of erection which
keep several teams busy hauling brick
to the scene of operation. Several
other contracts are in the channels
and the outlook for work during the
winter is most pron ising.
The High School.
The brick work on the upper story
of this elegant and substantial struc-
ture is rapidly nearing completion,
and will soon be in the hands of the
plasterers and carpenters. Probably
no building in this city has been con-
structed with greater care. The
foundation is fortified with railroad
steel in order TO prevent settling or
cracking. Steel girders span the
top of the large entrances and large
windows. While money has not been
needlessly expended, the cost has not
been stinted.
The lumber used in the floor joists
is well seasoned and free from knots;
they are well bedded and braced and
in addition are anchored to the side
walls with heavy iron straps.
The basement will contain seven
large rooms and two toilets. The
first floor will contain seven rooms,
an Office and one large hall. The
second floor will contain three class
rooms, large hall and large as
sembly hall. Only part of the struc-
ture will be completed under the
present contract, and it is hoped the
building will be completed by March
next. c. NJ. Ward is the contractor.

The Apex.

Contractor Geo. E. Trout is rush
irg the work on Lyman Robison's
new building. The brick strike and
the delay in receipt of structural steel
has delayed the completion. The
brickwork was finished Tuesday and
tine cement and gravel roof is now
being put on. The ground floor is
filled by four eommodious store rooms
and large and commodious entrance
ball to the second story. The second
story will be composed of thirty neat,
light and well ventilated rooms, be-
sides the toilets. The arrangement
is perfect. and the Apex will stand
as a monument to the enterprising
owner.

before any Of the party could enter.
Mrs. Nation said her friends caught
hold of her arms her and prevented
her going in through the window.
The next place visited was "The Sem
ate" Mt 4O6 Kansas avenue. The

a colored man quickly seized Mrs. Ma
ton and took her Ratchet away.
Somehow in the scuffie Mrs. Nation
was struck on the right temple by the
Ratchet but the blow did not disable
her and she ut once seized the Ratchet
carried by Mrs. White. She turned
over two large slot machines and
smashed the glass in the front Of each.
She soon made n wreck of the large
refrigerator and after that turned at
tention to the liquor and fixtures be-
hind the bar. A key of beer came
In the way OF her Ratchet and the
contents completely drenched the
skirts OF Mrs. Nation. At this juncture
the colored porter fired his revolver
ut the ceiling to brighten the cru
saders and attract attention from the
outide. Policeman Graham was at
tracted to the place by the noise and
escorted Mrs. Nation TO the police sta
ton. Here Mrs. Nation and her little
band of followers held short praise
service and lectured those in charge
at the time.
The Senate saloon, which was
wrecked, was. one of the handsomest
and most complete in its equipments
Of any In the city. 1t Is fitted up

VEST TALKS OF CUBA.
Missouri Senator Says We Must Give the
Isianden independence, hut Secs
Annexation In the Future.

New York, Feb. 7.-Senator Vest,
of Missouri, is quoted by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune as
saying of the Cuban situation:
Undoubtedly we have no more right to
amend the Cuban constitution by act OF
congress than we would have to do SO
with the constitution of France or any
other foreign country. We are estopped
from this both by the Teller resolution
and the decision OF the supreme court
In the Nicely case declaring Cuba TO be
foreign country. When the Cubans adopt
their constitution and form their govern
ment, we are solemnly pledged to give
them absolute and complete independence.
There Is no way OF our getting around
this. even II We wanted to. because the
law directs US what TO do. After We
have turned Cuba over to the Cubans.
we then must become the protector OF
their country. We must say to all the
world: Hands of while Cuba is working
out for herself the problem of self-gov-
eminent"
confidently believe that after they
struggle awhile with the tremendous
problem of self-government. they will give
Il up and seek annexation to the United
States. For years have been convinced
that this is the ultimate destiny of Cuba.
I welcomed the Spanish war as means
for fastening this end. ! agree with the
suggestion OF Thomas Jefferson. made
nearly 100 years ago. that We need Cuba
to round out our territorial domain.

DRUGGISTS HAVE GRIEVANCE.
Thsy ASK That the Free Distribution Of
Vaccine by tho Agricultural Depart
ment be Stopped.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Following the
complaint Of the seed dealers that the
distribution OF flower and garden
seeds by'th department Of agriculture
In breaking up their business, delega-
tion of wholesale druggists appeared
before the senate committee on agri-
culture and complained Of the effect
upon their business of the distribution
of free remedies for diseases OF domes-
tic animals. The druggists told the
committee that the agricultural de-
partment had practically broken up
their trade in vaccine for the cure
and prevention of blackleg among
cattle. OF this one remedy the de-
partment has distributed free of
charge 100000 doses. Complaint
was also made Of the free distribution
of tetanus serum. The druggists say
II blackleg was disease that could
be completely stamped out by flooding
the country with the remedy there
would be some reason for the action
Of the department. They contend
that even IL all the existing cases
should be cured IL would break out
again.
