STCCKMEN UP AGAINST 1T
Must Have a Certificate Showing That

Montana stockmen who have been
shipping horses and cattle into North

state health officials and have been
compelled to pay 81 head on horses.
10 cents head on cattle and cents
each on sheep for examination and
certificate OF health showing that
they are free from contagious diseas-
es.
This tax is made where the shippers
have not a certificate or clearance
from the state veterinarian showing
that the stock which have been TAX
en- across the Montana line into North
Dakota are free from contagious or
infectious diseases.
'The shippers regard the charges
exacted as something OF a 'hold.up,"
said State Veterinarian NJ. Z. Knowles.
Many Of them are ignorant of the
health regulations as 60 stock in North
Dakota and neglect TO get certificate

before shipping.
Formerly the state veterinarian
had deputies In various parts of the
state who made an examination be-
fore horses. cattle and sheep we're

work upon them is entirely satisfac-

in the south front window. The COM

To the Advertiser.
Advertising is the life of trade.
There is no use for us to enter into
an argument to show you that it
pays to advertise, because every
merchant knows this The ques-
tion is, how best to do it. All
authorities will tell you that the
very best manner in which to adver-
tise is through the columns of the
newspaper. Get in the best news
paper and that which has the largest
circulation. In Canon City of course
that is the RECORD. 1t has a larger
circulation than any other paper ever
published in Fremont count. 1t alb
solutely covers the city; its suburbs
are the finest country around. 1t
goes to all the mining camps, where
the people make good money, and
have plenty to spend. 1t goes to all
the little postofiices up the river and
in the hill country that have never
been reached by any other paper.
The RECORD is as familiar to the in
habitants all over the county as it is
to the residents of Canon City.
Hoping that you will all enjoy a
more prosperous year than ever be-
fore, and that Canon will continue to
grow next year in proportion as it
has in the past, and that ysa will be
with US first, last and all the time,
we remain, Yours truly,

GOOD FOR CAMERA MEN

Canon City is one of the best cities
in the west for the dealer in cameras
and supplies. The reason of this is
on account of the many beautiful
things there are around here to photo
graph. There are a great number of
amateur kodak operators and camera
manipulators in the city and they
create constant demand for articles
used in connection with picture taking.

POST-OFFICE

Many people in Canon have not yet
learned that drop letter costs two
cents. In every free delivery Office
this is the case. 1t requires at least
two cents on every letter. Almost
every day several letters are mailed
here with only one cent on. They
are marked up Due One Cent and
the addressee requested to pay that
amount before he can get the letter.
The registry system of the postal
service is not fully appreciated. 1t
requires only eight cents in addition
to the ordinary postage to register
any letter or parcel, and for the care
and safety given the article the fee
is insignificant.
1t is almost impossible for reg
istered article to get lost or dam
aged. In the first place you get
receipt for Your letter from the
postmaster where the letter is mailed.
This you should keep. Then at the
post-office your letter is sealed in
large heavy envelope which protects
it. If going east it is then locked up
in an inner" registered pouch which
carries only registered matter. This
pouch is addressed to Denver, and is
in turn enclosed in another big mail
bag.
The postmaster here gets re-
ceipt from the railway mail clerk for
that register bag and also from the
postmaster at Denver tor each letter
and parcel it contains. At Denver
new inner register bags are prepared
for all principal points and the post
office there keeps receipts from all
clerks who handle such bags and
postmasters who open them. This
receipt process is kept up through
the entire course of transit. When
your letter reaches its destination the
postmaster there sends a receipt to
the postmaster here for the letter.
This is filed at the postoffice Then
when your Litter is delivered the par
ty receiving it must sign postal
card receipt which comes back direct
to you. This shows to you who re-
ceived your letter, when he got il
and that the matter was all right.
This receipt alone is worth the regis
ter fee.
By this process it it is possible to
trace any piece of registered mail
throughout its entire journey and find
everyman who had an opportunity of
it. 1t insures care and saf-
ETY. and is well worth the small fee
charged.
When possible it is best to send
money by money order, but every
thing else of value should be regis
tered, and some people buy money
orders and then send them by regis
tered mail.

A WISH FOR A PROS
Porous new YEAR

The RECORD at this, the beginning
of New Year, wishes to extend its
thanks to the public in general who
have seen fit to use its columns in
one way or another during the past
year, and we graciously ask a con-
tinuance of the same during the year
which has commenced.
The RECORD always strives for the
right, and for that which is to the
best interests of Canon City, and in
most cases our efforts have been
right royalty appreciated The year
just passed has seen several changes
in the management and equipment of
Canon's Leading Newspaper, and we
feel sure they have all been for the
better. For several months past we
have been comfortably situated in
our new building, one of the best
newspaper blocks in the state, and
have added much new machinery,
type and all the essentials for run
ming a strictly first-class, up-to-date
newspaper and job office. We are
now prepared to do the finest kinds
of printing at prices which will not
be made any lower by competitors.
We place very high standard for
our work, and no job is permitted to
leave this Office that is not first-class
in every particular.
To the Reader.
To the many readers of the RECORD
we wish very happy and prosperous
New Year, and hope that our rela-
tions in the future will be as con-
genial as they have been in the past
We will strive harder to please you
than we have ever done before.
Special attention will be paid to every
depar tmc Mt. We will endeavor to
give you ALI The news of local
nature, and will not cater to any
certain class, but will try to treat
everyone just exactly alike. We are
anxious to get the news about every
matter of note that happens within
Canon City, and will print it.
The RECORD is primarily local
paper, and it is the local news to
which we pay most attention. We
will introduce, however, several
other new features. We have selected
a number of excellent serial stories
which will be run during the year.
Our recent stories have been largely
read. The best story ever published
in a country newspaper was THE
Gunmaker of Moscow" run some
months ago, and the one now run
ming, "The Great X. & A. Train Rob-
berry," is well liked. Next week we
will announce new story to be run
soon.
We are arranging a number of |
