A NEW ARTESIAN WELL

The new artesian well which WAS
found two weeks ago ON the land owned
by Judge Macon and Others, located
tive miles south of town, bids fair to
eclipse the firmest we'll which began
TO floN year ago. This we'll is stu

July and the third and strongest flow
began in August. The water is
strongly impregnate with gas, but
after surface flow of thirty feet this
gas disappears and is absolutely pure.
Experts have examined this water
and pronounced it the equal if not

GOOD WINTER STORIES
FOR RECORD READERS

Timoteo, by DAVID 5, Forter. It's
a fascinating tale that cannot help hut
interest. The story shows vivid
imagination and fair literary ability,
1t tells OF wars and crime, but not in
the narrowing details found in ''To
Have and to Hold" " II has lovers and
lovemaking, but not OF the nauseat-
ing variety depicted in "when
knighthood was in Flower " It's
a bctter story than either, though it
hasn't made its author the fame or
money.
This story will be short, running
only from five to seven weeks It's
worth reading, We will promise Re.
cord people that the stories alone in
The Record this winter will be worth
the subscription price.

ises. They propose to give rate
of sis per year for individual bus
iness phones and from $16 to t32 per
year for residence phones. The equip
ment. which will be furnihsed by
the American Electric Telephone
company of Chicago. will be of the
most modern pattern, known as
central energy plant. This same
equipment is being placed through
out the state of Texas. 1t is already
in operation in Toledo. Ohio. where
81. 900 phones are in use.
The franchise further promises that
no sale will ever be made except to
another independent telephone COM
pany No deal with the trust line
will be considered. The ordinance
as passed at Pueblo requires that
the work be commenced within six
months from the date of the granting
of the franchise.
So far nothing seems to be in the
way of a speedy commencement of
work on the line and no trouble is
anticipated in securing franchises in
the different cities.
Nothing has been heard as to the
likelihood OF rate war between the
proposed new line and the Colorado

BIG ATTENDANCE IN CANON CITY
AND SOUTH CANON SCHOOLS

School opened Tuesday morning.
September 2. with large enrolment
at all of the school buildings, and
now after three months vacation the
children have again started to take
up the winters work.
At the high school there were 1853
pupils enrolled, which is indeed very
large. Superintendent Allen was
busy all day giving examinations to
new scholars, and he did not get to
lunch on that day until O'Clock.
The new high school building is a
model one in every particular and al
though it is somewhat further for
some of the scholars, they are compen-
sated by knowing that the school
they are attending il one of the finest
of its kind in the state.
A very able and efficient corps of
teachers has been secured for this
year. Among them are several who
have never taught before in this city,
but they came from other schools we'll
recommended aud the averages made
by them IN their examinations show
that they are abundantly able to
handle the work in their respective
lines.
Superintendent Allen has his office
at the new high school. I, is just
of from the reception room on the
ground floor TO the left Of the main
entrance. II is fitted up with fine
new desk and many other convenien-
ces.

A BIG EASTERN TELEPHONE
COMPANY ASKS FOR FRANCHISE

a franchise by new telephone COM
pany, which offers very liberal terms.
The company is represented here by
W. II. Sweeney and J. J. Burner,

this city.
This new organization is backed by
the American Electric Telephone
company. of Chicago, manufacturers
of telephone supplies, The Harris

Muston & Co, of Pueblo. This is
sucffiient assurance that there is
plenty of money behind the project.
4 This company proposes to enter
every town in Colorado and both city
and toll exchanges will be main
tanned. The Pueblo franchise was
granted by the council of that city
Tuesday night. Franchises have also
been presented at Colorado Springs
and Florence, and from present pros
poets it is safe TO say the entire state
will be includued in complete sys-
