BIC GAINS IN POST
OFFICE BUSINESS

The gains in postOfiice business this
year have been very great. The quar-
ter Just closed shows business of
$4,007 38. This is all for postage
except the small sum Of $2l5.l0 for
box rents.
1t is on the receipts for postage
and box rents that an Office is rated
and classed.
The fiscal year ends March 81, 20
another quarter is yet to be considered
in this year. But the three quarters
passed this year show 81, 1872 more
business than last year.
The same rate of increase during
the next three months will bring the
years business up to about SIS, ,40S.
Nothing shows up the growth and
prosperity of town better than the
postoffice receipts. The people and
the active business must be here to
make the postoffice business.
A little comparison will show how
the postoffice business has increased.
April l, 1897, the postofiice was
moved to its present site, corner of
Main and Fifth streets. That was
five years ago, less three months.
The total business for the year closed
March 81. 1897, was $S,4s8.03. For
the year which will close March 81
next the business will be about $15,-
400. This makes an actual increase
in receipts of about 80 per cent.
very nearly doubled in five years.
When the office was moved to its
present quarters, which seems but a
short time ago, the Office help con-
sisted of postmaster and two clerks.
now there are employed here. besides
the postmaster, four clerks and four
carriers, and they are probably worked
harder than ever before in the history
of the Office. The free delivery of
mail to all parts of the city was estab-
lished here about two years ago, and
last summer an additional carrier was
allowed and the city delivery extended
to large part of Fruitmere and
Lincoln Park.

on. It's all on account of the mex
cusable ignorance of the last fusion
legislature. An extra session is
threatened, but that might get things
in even worse shape. What nov
city it would be if no taxes could be
legally collected this year. That old
saw about nothing being sure but
death and taxes" would have to be re-
vised and brought down to date.

ADVERTISING THAT PAYS

One reason some advertising doesn't
pay is because the party putting the
ad in knows he cannot keep the prom
Use made, and so do the public.
Strict integrity should be the main
characteristic of every ad.
Marshal Fields great retail store
has been built up on advertising, and
the people who read the ads know
every word to be true. 1t is said
that the manager of that store pays
a reward of 81 for every mistake,
misrepresentation or inaccuracy that
is pointed out in the newspaper adver-
tisements of that firm, and the clerks
and other employees are alert to Sc
cure the money. The object of this
curious policy is primarily to prevent
any deception of the public. 1t is
the intention of the company to state
the exact truth in their advertise
ments, and the fact that dollar
must be paid to everybody who finds
an error is a great stimulant for ac-
curacy. At the same time the en-
ployes of the house are induced to
studyl the advertisements carefully
and obtain from them information to
offer in reply to inquiries from their
customers.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Boulder seems to have struck a
real oil well. The next reports of
new oil country we hope will come
from Canon City.
A new paper on our exchange table
is the Wayne Republican from Wayne,
Nebraska. We are pleased to note
that one of the proprietors of this
paper is Mr.. Charles S. Lewis who
for quite a number of years was fore
mai of the RECORD office. We wish
for hin. the highest degree of success
in the undertaking.
The State Horticultural society
meets in Denver January 22d, 23d
and oath. AS many people from
Canon ought to attend as possible.
Nature has done everything that is
possible for Canon City fruit. When
the grower does his duty our fruit is
the best in the land. But too many
of our growers are impractical. They
do not study fruit culture as they
should. A great many are in the
business merely for health or pastime
and they feel that it is not important
to master the science. 1t would be
better for the community and better
for all concerned if all who have
orchards or fruit farms would take
greater interest in both county and
state horticultural societies and meet
ings.
Did you ever see winter like this ?
Florida nor Italy could do no better.
In talking people very frequently for
get the season and remark about this
fall" or "this summer" 1t is really
rather warm fall weather, yet it is the
middle Of January. Every stranger
who comes to town is profuse in his
praise of our climate, and number
are here from New Mexico, southern
California and other supposedly warm
climates, preferring the dry, pure air
and temperate weather we have here.
We old timers forget sometimes the
kind of weather we used to have in
other places.
The proposition to put seats, at
least few, along the walk to the
soda springs has met with hearty
reception. Everybody who mentions
it says it's good thing, and the best
place in town to put seats. Strangers
and newcomers would like the town
better if there were more resting
places. We all have noticed how
welcome is comfortable seat when
idly wandering about strange town.
Speaking of the matter gentleman
said: 81 was in Boulder recently.
There the court house is in big pub
lie square in the heart of the city.
About the lawn are many public seats.

"PLEAsE DON'T PUBLISH"

The following editorial from an
exchange in reference to the keeping
of items of news out of the paper is
an experience common to almost
every newspaper;
''The practice of keeping things
out of the papc;, makes it very diff
cult for newspaper to do its duty
and give all the news. There are
interested parties ready to throw
themselves into the breach of every
important occurrence and importune
the newspapers not to publish the
facts. There is hardly week in
the year when the newspapers OF
every city are not called upon to sup
press some news item, and sometimes
it happens several times a week
Men will even ask and expect an item
of news to be suppressed when the
entire community is already talking
about it. They will ask the editors
and publishers not to mention cer-
tain occurrence, when, as matter of
fact, its publication would harm no
one. If the paper declines to leave
out the item the applicant becomes
very indignant; If it yields and con-
temporary later publishes the news it
never occurs to the gentleman that
he has injured the legitimate business
of newspaper, and that he ought to
apologize and do 80 no more. On the
contrary, when local newspaper
leaves out an item which appears
later in an out-of-town journal the
very men who ask for its suppression
are the first to say: You must read
such and such papers to get the
news
did it ever occur to the men who
request newspaper not to publish
certain item that it would be just as
reasonable to ask merchant not to
make certain sale? You are ask
ing a newspaper to omit its most at
tractive feature, and to become tedi-
GUS, and perhaps tiresome, merely
for your own benefit. Possibly you
may have business relations with the
newspapers. That certainly gives
you no right to make exactions which
amount to the same thing as if sore
one demanded that you dispense with
the most desirable part of yodr busi-
ness.
"The newspapers get tired and sick
of being importuned to keep things
out. The reporters get discouraged
and newspaper readers, hearing of
something which ought to have ap-
pesred on time, make derogatory re-
marks at the apparent lack of enter
prise manifested by the journal that
has been worked and imposed upon

I'm DOUBT

A great many people are in doubt as to the best
road to economy On this question there
many opinions Some think the way is to buy short
weight goods, of inferior quality. That road leads
away from our store Others believe with that in
Quality there is Economy. On all roads leading to
our store you will see signs of quality which we be-
eve is the road to wealth
But if as far economy is concerned; if both
grades Of goods equally cheap; why not choose
the better2 1t tckes the palate aids digestion and
prevents disease
A great many people think do Quality
First as our business shows. Our business in
increased 2oH per cent over 1900. This speaks
louder than words for quality.

Talking of parks, Mr.. R. S. Lewis
rscalls the fact that some twenty
years or more ago when he was a
member of the city council the sub
ject was then as much discussed as
now. A proposition was made to sell
to the city for park that block ly-
ing between Main and Macon and
Seventh and Eighth-just below the
st. Cloud hotel. The price asked was
$1,000. Mr.. Lewis was very much
in favor of buying it, but other men,
bers of the board could not see that
it was worth that extravagant sum,
and were not willing to expend that
much money for park purposes. That
was not very long ago. Men who
then were prominent in city affairs
are still considered young men. yet
that block has become so valuable
that lots in it would sell today for
more than the price then asked for
the whole block. We are all ready
to speak of the great mistake the city
council then made. What a delight
full spot that block would be today if
parked-right in the heart of town,
and at such an insignificant sum-
Yet may we not be making just the
same mistake today? Two thousand
dollars would have bought more land
than $4,000 will today. Perhaps
$4,000 or $l5, 900 will today buy as
much as many times that amount ten
years hence. The city must have
parks, and the longer we put it off
the harder they are to get.
The Democrats in some quarter are
talking of making up a presidential
ticket of Miles and Schley. If it's
war record the people want we could
put up Roosevelt and Funston and
beat them out in every precinct
Hurrah Roosevelt and Funston! Why
wouldn't that be first-rate battle
cry?
What do you know about your
taxes? Not thing, yet you know
about as much as anybody else-even
down to Gov. Orman. Nobody knows
anything about tax s this year. We
may not even have to pay any at all.
If they do get things Strengthened
out so we can pay they will be high
higher than ever before. But every
thing is in muddle and the treas
urer, the assessor, county commits
sioners, supreme court and even the
governor hardly know what to count

I.ESSENING or MARRIAGE.

The dissemination to marry
among Americans is growing. As
the age Of luxury advances so does
the selfishness Of its votaries. The
young man of to-day shrinks from
the obligations his parents assumed
when they pledged devotion to each
other through good and evil report,
through sickness unto death. He
is enjoying luxuries to-day that
his father never dreamed Of. To
marry a woman and support her on
the income he is receiving would
oblige him to deny himself Of these
luxuries. Between the two pro-
positions he decides to continue
single. Therefore an important
element which should be engaged
in the propagation of the race stands
aloof.
A recent manifestation Of this is
the statistics furnished by New
York city for 1901, where there
were only 33. 4S5 marriages, little
more than the number for 1900,
but entirely too small for the size
u
and growth OF the population.
When it is known that the increas Sc
in the number of its jewellers was
over SO, 200 last year, and that the
marriages should approximate at
least 60, 600, II eau be seen that the
selfish bachelor is not only II com
manding figure, but is increasing
in even greater ratio lhnn the
advance in population.
