HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A large number of the high school
students attended the liquid air ex-

They were very much interested in it
and received some valuable instruc-

A division of the juniors has taken
up the study of political economy.
They are making very good progress,
which was demonstrated at recent

is true.
Later in the afternoon the boys

One day last week Prof. Ryle took
the boys of his class TO the top of the
Washington building. whsre the

of eight miles, it has narrowed back
to one mile in width.
Canon City has a population of

This is an ideal winter climate. we

for few days we have scarcely had

planted in November are nearly ready

Great relief is had here for asthma,
lung and throat troubles, and many
are permanently cured when they
come in time. Besides the hot min

rheumatism ana other troubles, we
have within the city limits iron and
soda mineral springs which have
curative properties for many stomach
and kidney troubles. The valley sur
rounding the city is mostly under ir-
rigation, and is very fertile. 1t is
