acres which comprise the site Of the
Pan-American Exposition.
Now that the principal buildings are
practically constructed and the whole

on schedule time it can be seen that
the confidence existing in the ability
of the management to open the gates
on May l upon completed and per-
fectly embellished creation is justified.
The financial prospects of the Expo
sition are all that could be desired.
The advertising it has received is al
ready bringing forth fruit, and an un-
precedentedly large attendance is now
as certain as anything can be which
belongs to the future.

NORTHWEST VIEW FROM THE OHIO BUILDING

comprehensive EXHIBITS OF the Pan

in graphic form of what mankind has
accomplished upon this hemisphere
during the 100 years now completed.
With vision sharpened we look for

nation at least, q glimpse of what the
next century is to bring forth.
Can it be possible that the Twentieth
century will see an advance in material
and intellectual things as great rela-
lively to that Of other centuries as the
Nineteenth century has witnessed? 1t
scarcely seems within the bounds of
possibility. and yet who can say wheth-
er even more wonderful discoveries
and even more valuable applications of
our present knowledge than the past
century has given us do not await us in
the one now just begun? The Nine
teenth century saw the revolution In
methods Of travel on land and sea
caused by the invention of the steam
engine; 1t saw the invention of the tele-
graph and telephone and electric light;
1t witnessed the application Of electric
power to urban transportation methods
and to the operation of the wheels of
industry generally; 1t produced great
improvements in the fields of medicine
and surgery and of education; 1t gave
us inventions in the way of machinery
which have completely revolutionized
industry and shortened the hours of
labor for the manual workers of the
civilized world and particularly of this

ed Of good and capable men, and
the court house ring finds itself
confronted by condition far more
serious than thatit bodied it's way
through too months ago A coali-
ton Of several forces opposed to

THE FIRST SNOW

The first snow of winter came to
visit with lis for a few minutes last
Saturday morning but did not remain
long enough for the residents Of Can
on City to actually see what snow is.
The bon homie face of the sun, which
is the old standby of residents of this
city. soon dispelled the reign of the
snow king, and before the day had
passed heavy wearing apparel was a
superfluous article. and the fact that
Canon City has one of the most de-
lightful climates in the world was
again demonstrated.
Wednesday fine snow began fall
ing and up TO the time of going to
press this morning beautiful soft
flakes are falling, and probably two
inches are on the ground.

freight would be about $12 per ton.
Nine tons have been already engaged
and effort will be made to get orders
up to fifteen tons, the minimum car
load. The dry spray" successfully
introduced last spring by President
Dalziel of the society, was discussed,
bringing out valuable observations
and experience proving it to be very
meritorious. The secretary brought
up the matter of holding fruitgrow-
ers and farmers institute in Canon
City at an early date this winter, with
the result that he was instructed TO
correspond with the faculty of the
State Agricultural College to find
when some of the professors could
come to Canon to assist in the insti-

est and most respected residents of
this city, passed away yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock at his home in
South Canon, after an illness of sew
eral weeks duration with complica-

the general debilities of old age,

two daughters, all children of his first
marriage. They are as follows:
John, Robert. Judson, Mrs. Leona Ar
mour and Mrs May Berney.
Mr.. Adams was man of tall and
stately bearing, and was always very
active in public enterprises. He or
ganized the first Baptist congregation
in this city and built the first church
of that denomination here, which was
made Of adobe. and stood where the
bank block now is. 1t is related of
him that many times he would come
to the church early Sunday mornings,
sweep out, build the fire and then
preach to the people who attended.
He also organized Baptist churches
elsewhere, among them being the one
at LaVeta and at Fort Collins and
Durango. He led an active christian
life and remained in charge of the
pastorate of the Baptist church in
this city for many years. He built
