All of the iiremeu went to bed. and

iiremen jumped out of bed. pulled on
their boots and ran to their places.
Two of them snapped the barnes

to get the hose off and coupled. 30 Is

alarm was first sent in, until water
was shooting from the nozzle. The
run made was a little loss than half

new DIRECTORY A
MODEL OF PERFECTION

The Canon City Directory has just
been received from the bindery in
Denver, and it is model of perfection
The publisher feels consider able
pride in this issue of the directory.
As directory OF information it is
about as complete as human agency
can make one. Ii covers large area
of territory, covering, in fact, about
all the district Immediately adjacent
to our city. Ii cost an immense
amount of money TO get this informa-
tion alone, but it was necessary to
make the book complete and to that
end We have bent every energy, and
spared no expense.
\ few error may be found, some
changes having been made since the
information was gathered. but such
are few, tTifiing and inconsequentsl.
Altogether we believe it the nearest
complete directory ever put out in
any city in Colorado.
From a mechanical poinr the book
is beauty Every part, with the
exception Of the binding, was done
in The RECORD PRINTERY and we
do not hesitate in saying it is better
job than we could have got in many a
~ity printing establishment.
Those Sho have seen the book have
been loud in their praise and several
have taken copies who did not order
in advance. We have only about
ten copies that are not sold. We
would like to have these taken at
once. W. hope We will not have a
copy left next week.

The chance of Canon having good
county fair this year are mighty good.
A good many people have been talk
ing about the matter and so far as we
know everybody, who has mentioned
the thing, are in favor of the fair.
1t is realized by all that We can't
build city in a day nor can we make
a big state institution OF the Fremont
County Fair the first year. But we
can get the thing started and have a
good exhibition of poultry, stock,
fruit, few horse races and some
other sports this fall. 1t is believed
that such fair after two or three |
years can be made profit paying in I
stitution.
Some buildings could be put up and |
tents could be secured for other ex-
hibitions. The expense for these
things need not be great.
Ii is proposed to have three days.
There will be big prizes offered for
fruit, vegetable, poultry, pet stock and
farm stock exhibitions. On one day
it is hoped to have some of the fastest
horses in the state here. Over a
thousand dollars may be offered for
race purses. Then there will be ball
games. balloon ascensions and many
other attractions.
There is VT time to draw fair
sized crowd from outside, but if no
one attnded but home county folks, it
would pay we'll from every point OF
view. 1t is a fact that half the peo-
pie in Canon do not know what our
fruit farms are producing. II our
own people knew more about our own
locality our town would be more
prosperous and grow faster.
The county has been asked to con-
tribute few hundred dollars to the
Horticultural society for the fruit
prizes, and while the commissioners
at present haven't the money to
give. they feel very friendly toward !
the enterprise and think something |
can lie done by next month. The
Driving association agrees to put up |
from $1,000 to 8, 200 for the race
money. Besides thesc the expense
would not amount to much and the
revenue from gate receipts, entry |
fees, etc, would be considerable. To- |
day a few OF our business men have
been asked their opinions of the taiT !
proposition, and following are some ]
of the expressions made:
C. A. Biggs-I am in favor of the |
fair proposition and feel sure it can
be made of great benefit to all inter
ested in Canon City.
II. Rosenberg am satisfied that |
county fair would be a good thing |
for the town. OF course it will take /
some money to run it, hut l think We
ought to have it.
= = =
W. T. Bridwell Am organization l
for a county fair should be formed |
and if they go at it right | don't see
any reason why we shouldn't have as
good fair as they have back east. ]
+ + r
Hunter Palmer-I think by all
means the fair ought to be held and /
am willing to contribute literally |
to see il started. IL won't cost much /
hut we ought all be glad to put mp
that little.

A. Z, NelSon-If il could be made /
