corner stakes have been removed. A
very grave offence. If parties lacked
the faith on enterprise to get in as
first locators; let them go to newer
fields, or buy their claims.
Do not frighten capital from this
district by these apparent contest of
claims. The good people of this
community will surely frown down
any attempt to wrest oil lands from
those who were pioneers in the move
to prove new oil lands and thus en-
rich our city.

WANTS TO KNOW

The editor of the RECORD is in
receipt of the following letter from
New York, asking about one of our
local oil companies. We have also
had numerous other inquiries asking
for sample copies of the RECORD which
tell of the oil developments in this
section. Considering the amount of
influence the local papers have in CIV
ing the local companies publicity it
seems that the local papers ought to
have fair treatment in the way of ad-
vertising and printing from these
companies. So far all the printed
matter advertising Canon City oil
propositions has been printed in other
cities.
WANTS NO KNOW.
New YORK. Feb. l8, 1902.
DEAR SIR
The enclosed circular was received
through U. s. mail. Suspect it is
more or less of fake.
Will you kindly let me know if
there is such company doing bust
ness near your city owning lands ad-
jacent to those of Standard Oil Co.,
and if the Standard Oil Co. has lands
there upon which there is a well tlowss
ing 400 bbls. per day. and oblige,
Yours truly,

WHAT THEY SAY

Id. D.WESTFALL-Some attempts have
been made to jump oil lands near this
city. Like attempts were recently
made in Wyoming; to the sorrow of
the jumpers; as all were warned to
leave the country or suffer the conse-
quences They wisely chose to leave.
1t is certainly unmanly and unfair to
try to get the oil lands from those
who located them in good faith. The
law concerning oil lands assessments
is very indefinite. These first locators
complied with the law as far as it is
given; even did 500 worth of work
on each claim located before last
August, according to United States
laws they have till the | of next JAN
uary to work first assessment on lands
located last year. So far all court
decisions have been favorable to the
first locators of oil lands. This is
right; since they did the work it
awakened the interest that attracted
the capital to come and test these
lands.
1t seems that some location and

The deceased had been ailing for
several days with the grip but had

not complained any more than usual
that morning.

FRUITCROWERS'
ASSOCIATION

Much of the prosperity of Canon
City is due to the well cultivated
orchards surrounding it. Many young
orchards are rapidly coming into bear
ing, and there is good reason to ex-
pect that before long this part of the
Arkansas valley will be a reliable
source for the choicest fruit grown
in the country. An established mar
ket, under honorable management,
will increase the value of every fruit
and produce ranch in this section
1t is with this thought in mind that
the fruitgrowers of Fremont county
have united in the establishment of
the Fremont County Fruitgrowers &
Dealers Association, capitalized at
$4,000. Only fruitgrowers can be
stockholders, and fruitgrowers' sup,
plies, at slight advance upon cost,
will be the main business of the asso-
citation, outside of marketing produce
and fruit for the stockholders and
others who do their commission bust
ness through them.
This enterprise should be welcomed
by all interested in real estate,
as it means added value to production
The grower can now give his whole
attention to the care of his fruit,
knowing that the business end of this
word is under good management
The board of directors, seven in
number, are practical business men
who will give their services conamore.
They are as follows: John Weed, J.
W. Work, J. l.. Heaton, H. F. Cramer,
F. Bachelor, E. NJ. Snow and John
Dalziel.
One of the first transactions will
be the purchase of fifteen tons Of to-
bacco waste as fertilizer for apple
trees. Such practical undertakings
as this justify the existence of the
Fremont County Horticultural society.

Q Q Q
Two senator's had fight in the
senate. One senator had previously
been invited to the presidents home
to dinner. The president then asks
the senator to withdraw his accept
ance and decline the invitation. The
senator fatty refuses. The president
then withdraws the invitation and in
vites the pugilistic senator to dine
elsewhere. Down in South Carolina
they are to hold an exposition. The
president of the United States was to
be feature of this exposition, and it
was on the program for him while
there to present to a gallant rough
rider sword donated by admiring'
friends. The man in charge of the
sword committee is kinsman of the
pugnacious senator. He Immediately
telegraphs the president that he will
not be needed when the sword affair
is pulled off. The president ignores
the telegram, but quietly gives it out
that he will not attend the South
Carolina exposition. Now, the rough
riding hero wires the senator's kins-
man that he will have none of their
weapons after such goings on-and
the end is not yet. All of this troub-
lie comes out of simple little knock
down between two senators. Verify
our United States senators ought to
be more peaceable.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

These splendid fellows that do
their work and hold their peace
they do give US faith in God and faith
in ourselves. They mind their own
business. Is there anything finer
than to mind ones own business? 0
cursed spite, that men are born to
set the others right. Let US all mind
our own business. No man is ridicu-
lous excepting when he neglects his
own affairs to look after the business
of other men-no man but is splendid
when he is minding his own business.

TURNING SMOKE INTO GOLD.
Clever Way in Which Raleigh Defeated
Queen EliZnhcfh


Queen Elizabeth of England was not
n thoroughgoing spinster, for she had so
little prejudice against the practice of
smoking that she permitted Sir Walter
Raleigh his pipe in the royal presence.
She was sufficiently woman, however.
to twit him openly on his devotion to
the weed, and it was OH one Of these
occasions-or so the author Of '"The
Soverane Herbe' shrewdly surmises-
that the knight replied:
81 can assure your majesty that
have so well experienced the nature OF
1t that can tell even the weight of the
smoke in any quantity consume"
81 doubt it much, Sir Walter" replied
Elizabeth, holding it was impossible tc
weigh smoke, and mayhap seeming q
joke, "hnd will wager you twenty gold
angels that you do not solve my doubt"
Calamity accepting the wager, Raj
eigh filled his pipe with n weighed
quantity of tobacco, smoked 1t out, and
then, weighing the resultant ashes, an
nounced the weight he had smoked
away.
Your majesty cannot deny that the
difference has disappeared in smoke"
"Truly cannot" answered the queen.
Ordering the wager to be paid, she
turned to the courters around her and
said: MANY alchemists have heard OF
who turned gold into smoke, but Raj,
eigh Is the first man who has turned
smoke into gold"

A nation Is much like Christian in
his journey to the wicket gate: it is
borne down by heavy burden, under
which 1t stumbles forward toward the
light. Some day war will cease, and
as the nations pass through the gate
Of peaceful arbitration the bundle will
roll from their shoulders and they will
stand erect. For four years the people
of the United States have been paying
taxes to meet the expenses of the war
with Spain. Some of the taxes were
removed. Nevertheless the abolition Of
all the war taxes will not remove the
burden of the war. for it was neces-
sary to borrow $20O,OOO,0OO or more in
addition to what was raised under the
revenue laws to meet the expenses in
cident to arming and maintaining n
large body of men. The load OF debt
that was put on the country by the
Civil War has not all been discharged
and it will be many years before we
stop paying interest on the Spanish
War bonds. Whether a particular war
is justiiable or not, the people ell
gagged in it have to pay for it. Those
who defend the war always say that
the money is wisely spent, and those
who opposed 1t include the wicked
waste Of money among the reasons
for their opposition. But neither ad-
vocates nor opponents deny that in
any event war is burden. AS we re-
feet on this phase of the subject the
advantages of arbitration become in
creasingly apparent.

ter that end may have. In the first
place, the trades unions have been ask
Ing: What shall be done with the
man over 45?" Employers no longer
allow him, they say, to compete with
younger men and take him from the
bench and put him on the shelf. In
his case, retirement, while it means
leisure, also means possible destitu-
ton. Here we have, therefore, some
what serious economic difficulty. But
1t is not only the workingman who Is
medltating upon old age. 1t Is also
the millionaire. Not long ago the men,
bers of the Chicago Board of Trade
had an animated newspaper discussion
on the propriety of early withdrawal
from the pit. Some men thought one
way and some another. The same d.
versity of opinion now appears In
New York. Mr.. Whitney thinks that
at 60 man should cease to chase
money and give himself up to better
things So, apparently, does Mr.. Car
negie. John ID. Rockefeller, on the COLI
trary, does not see how he can ever let
go, aid Mr.. Hewitt remarks cautious
ly that this Is n matter in which every
man must use his own judgment. Mr..
Hewitt hits the nail precisely on the
head. To begin with, some men are

not A man like Mr.. Whitney enjoys
building large country house, scoop
ing away hills in the course of the en-
terprise, planting Whole forests and
stocking them with game, directing the
course of streams and filling them with
strange fish, maintaining troops of SER
wants, and getting finally residence
like Kubla Khan's in Kanadu. Other
men might find all this deadly bore.
Mr.. Carnegie, again, enjoys reading
and writing and encouraging scholar
ship. He is fortunate. He does not
prove, however, that every other man
ufacturer could lead the same kind Of
life with the same kind of satisfaction.
Ii man has hobbies and lvocatlons,
well and good. Let him give himself
up to them. His neighbor, however,
may prefer his business to everything
else He may be happier there than
anywhere else. He may be doing more
good there than anywhere else. 1t
would be foolish, then, for him to say
to himself: The minute am such and
such an age l will give up my present
employment and pass the residue of
my time in rest and quietness." 1t is
better for him to continue to catch the
1888 and to keep his stenographers
busy. There is no general rule for
these things. Interest and duty may
lead man to retire. Interest and
duty may lead another man not to re.
tire. One mans meat is another mans
poison. All that can be said is what
Mr.. Hewitt said. Let each man pro-
nounce "either" as he pleases and re-
tire when he wants to.
