About two. thirds of the members of

Presbyterians. which is an index to
the strength of that denomination in

A college in this citv of such COM

be of great benefit to Canon City, in
tellectuslly and materially. and we
sincerely hope it will be located here.

basis of so per cent for subject
matter. and so per cent for delivery.
There will be eleven speakers,
five from the north side and six from
the south side of the river, and their
position will be assigned by lot.
Great interest has been awakened
among the pupils on both sides of
the river in the approaching contest.
aud it will doubtless be one of the
most interesting events of the school
year. particularly as the proceeds of
the entertainment are to be divided
equally between the Canon and South
Canon schools for the purchase of
additional books for their respective
libraries.
Pross. Allen and Smith desired to
have the contest take place the even

ployment is hard to obtain. II is
believed that Canon City could
offer more In this way than either
of her competitors in this line, but
IL is needless to enumerate the
multiplicity of our advantages. to us
they seem so patent that he who runs
may read them.
The college which the Presbyterian
church is seeking to build in Colorado
is planned upon scale that will place
IL among the best educational insti-
tutions in the West, and will attract
students from all parts of the Rocky
Mountain region. II will be non
sectarian. though it will be conducted
under the auspices of the church. 1t
will be dependent upon the church
only in financial way.
II is reported that donation of
ti0c. 900 has already been promised to
the proposed institution by woman
in Pittsburg. Pennsylvania. and from
indications the endowment fund Will
be ample to enable it to do rs effective
work as any school in the state.
With nucleus of $100. 900 to begip
with, IL will be an easy matter to at
tract Eastern capital, considerable in
terest in the school having already
been aroused among the Prcsbyterians
in the New England and the Middle
states.
II is not thought that any more
towns will enter the list for the loca-
tion Of the college in addition to
those already mentioned. Boulder,
Fort Collins, Denver. Golden and
other cities in the northern part Of
the state have institutions for higher
education. and none Of those west Of

According to statement of Supt. G.. +.
Grover and President r. r. Hoskins of

was due to an error in the execution of
an order. A string Of cars on what is
known as the 'shOp rum was headed
for the suburbs and were directed to
meet the south-bound car at the LAX,
Shore switch. The south bound car
failed to comply with orders, it is said.
and ran through with full speed and
expected presumably to meet the shop

curve, short distance from the switch.
the two cars came together with a
crash.
