become accustomed to it, so no breed
er has any fear of injuring his lambs
by using the self-feeder.
The general idea of this arrange
ment is clearly shown in the illustra-
ton. About all that it consists of is
box and a barrel. The box is about
three feet square, more or less, and
eight or ten inches high! Both enda
are knocked out of barrel, when it is
then set on the box, save for being
slightly raised. The support between
the box and barrel consists of two
pieces of two by two-inch stuff fas-
tened crosswise in the shape of an
X. At points where the barrel end
touches the X grooves are cut into the
pieces into which the barrel head fits.
thus allowing it to come within about
one inch of the box. 1t can be readily
seen that, as the sheep or lambs stand
about the box and eat the grain as it
appears in the inch space below the
barrel end, the weight within will force
more grain down, until the contents
are exhausted. AS long as there is
any grain in the barrel there is lust
SO much in sight, and in such shape
that it cannot be easily wasted.
1t will be observed that there is a
slight rise at the edge of the box which
has tendency to prevent any grain
spllling over the edge in case an an
lmal should work out more than can
be cared for, and if the wind is in
clined to blow it about, neither of
which is very profitable. No cover is
shown in the cut. In case the feeder
is to be used outdoors, a cover would
be quite necessary. Such could easily
be made with few boards. so that
water would be readily turned off and
the grain on the interior fully pro-
Lected. The expense of such feeder
IS slight, comparatively, both intime
and money, and yet the size is sufficient |

cards upon entering store, but went
with the understanding that any old

THE CITY COUNCIL

The gentlemen who look after the
affairs Of the city held little talk
fest Monday evening. the result OF
which follows. They decided that
they would change the names OF some
Of the streets, besides trsnsacting
other matters of Importance to the
welfare Of the city.
Aldermen Moifatt and Swanson
were absent, the former being in the
east. The latter was unable to at
tend on account OF illness.
The finance committee recon-
niended the return OF the plat for
Pierce's addition for correction.
The committee on streets. alleys
and bridges recommended the follow
ing changes in street names. Maple
avenue to Allison, Prospect to Play,
Chestnut to Barr and Walnut to
Whipple. These changes were made
on account of repetition in South
Canon. The new names were ac-
cepted by the council.
The committee on public buildings
asked for an extension Of time in
which to procure site and have
plans drawn for the new city hall.
Their request was granted.
The fire chief recommended the
purchase of l,5o0 feet of hose and
other material to be used in connec-
tion with the fire fighting apparatus.
The clerk was instructed TO adver-
tise for bids for this purpose to be in
by 6 o'clock February 3.
The fire committee was instructed
to select firemen to be placed on the
pay roll, and report at the next meet
ing.
S. B. George was granted the
lease OF the public gardens for the
consideration of 500 per year.
The police committee was instructed
to furnish the marshal with ball
and chain and rock pic This is
for the purpose of making tie u
wary hobo steer clear of Canon City
The city attorney and the street
commissioner were instructed to
proceed under law, with reference to
sidewalks.
The extension and enlarging Of the
water main was referred to the water
committee under recommendation Of
the superintendent of water.
The matter of the pollution Of the
river at Parkdale and Granite was
referred to the mayor and city attor-
ney with power to act Immediately.
1t is believed that the chemical pro-
cess used at Parkdale is more harm
full to the sanitaty condition of the
river than that at Granite where
placer mining is in operation. The
question of pure water in Canon City
has long been agitating the council,
and now that good pure water has
been obtained the city council will

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Did you ever notice how many men
carry axes, or, how few do not?
Most all have them. Some carry
them on their shoulder plainly visible
to ALL Other have them partially
concealed, but the handle may pro-
trude from their coat and give the
snap away. Still others have them
so closely covered that few notice
the weapon, but the first thing you
know buzz, buzz, buzz, there they
are, whetting their tool on your
grindstore. But that's all right.
What's a grindstone for if it isn't to
grind other peoples axes?
Then there is the man with the
hammer. He goes about knocking,
knocking, knocking, everywhere. He
watches all public and private enter
prises and is right there with his lit
tie hammer doing all the harm he can.
We have them. Every town has them.
Men whole sole mission in life is to
knock. In parliament they are given
the dignified title of "obstructionists."
With US they are just plain knockers.
You have real estate deal on.
Watch! The knocker will be there.
You think of building, of buying, of
selling, of opening a business, or of
closing out one. The knocker has to
be considered the same as the weather.
It's the same with the enterprises for
the town. The knocker exerts an in
fluence there! In fact, he is every
where.
So we have "the man with the hoe"
the mar with the ak, and the man
with the hammer; these three, but
the worst of them all is the man with
the hammer.
When you want to get magazines
cheap, order them through your news
dealer or newspaper man. Magazines
that come at a dollar apiece are
cheaper than those which do not come
at three for two dollars.

Poor drummers. Think of them!
Florence will boycott all who come to
Canon City to stay all night in our
better hotels. Now, the knights of
the road must stop and eat and sleep
at Florence or they get no trade.
Verify, the lot of some is hard.
1t has been suggested in view of
the fact that the city contemplates
building a $4,000 city hall, and the
library association $4,000 library,

THE ORGAN CONTEST

The RECORDS organ has proven the
most popular gift we could have Sc
lected for the schools. Every teacher
in the county wants the organ, and
every pupil is going to help his
teacher get it.
The votes are beginning to come
in, and in manv other ways an inter-
est is being shown
The organ is good one and would
be great addition to any room. Mr..
DuPee, the Knight Campbell repre-
sentative here, has ordered the instru-
ment, and we expect to have it on ex-
hibition here soon. 1t will be Kim
ball Chapel organ, and as good for the
purpose as can be made.
The object of the contest is to
stimulate greater interest in school
affairs and to help make the RECORD
better known among school people.
The RECORD is the official school pa
per of the county.
Votes should be sent in at once.
Soon a list will be published, and
those teachers and rooms having a
large number of votes at first will
have an advantage all through the
contest.
Every boy or girl should work for
his or her own room. What's the
use of helping some other room get
the organ? Every room has an equal
chance. There have been some fears
of several rooms in some one school
combining to throw the organ to some
particular place. We do not fear
anything of this kind. Why should
Miss Bakers pupils help Miss Harri-
sons room get the organ? What
benefit could result to Miss Bakers
room? And the same question might
be asked about anv other room.
No, we believe that each room will
work for itself, and that no such COM
binations need be feared. If anything
of the kind OF much Importance arises
rules will be made to make it unsuccess
full at once.
Now the important thing is to get
the votes in at once. Cut them out
of the RECORD and get all you can
from your friends.

lot. 1t would not be hard to decide
upon a location in this event. The
owner could give it with the provision
that he be paid during life fair rate
of interest on fair valuation of the
property. 1t would really be good
business proposition. Mr.. Beckham,
Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Chase, Mr.. Wells,
and others have locations that could
be considered under some proposition
of this kind.
Washington society wants mas
ter of ceremonies, a sort of official
elegantium to adjust the more or less
perplexing question of social preced-
ence. The naive demand that con
gress shall pay this functionary is not
the least refreshing feature of the pro-
posal.
According to the Chicago Tribune,
there were llS legal executions during
the past year and lS5 lynchings,a a de-
crease of one execution and an in
crease of twenty lynchings over the
previous year. These figures show
that in one respect there has been no
advancement, but rather retrogres-
sion. But possibly this very circum-
stance, by bringing the facts home to
the nation, will lead to the abolition of
this form of lawlessness by stringent
action.
The extra session of the Legislature
has been called, but we must remem-
ber that it is composed of the same
men, the same political lobby and the
same policies as the last session.
Can we expect anything good from
it9

Q O O
If the old saying, "All the world
loves a lover" is true, then the fiction
in the Cosmopolitan for January
should be popular, indeed. All the
stories vary in treatment, plot and
action. from Frances Courtenay Bay
lor's charming story, "Cupid's Prac-
tical Joke to Maarten Martens
strong domestic tragedy, Her Faith
er's Wife, but all have love for a
central theme.
The Hon. Charles Emery Smith las
Just written an article for the Satur-
day Evening Post which will shortly
appear in that publication. The ar
treats of cabinets and cabinet-making,
and is of timely interest on account
of the gradual reconstruction of Mr..
Roosevelt's cabinet.
