FINE FLOWERS.
A Boquet of Colorado Flowers that
Would Put the Cultivated
Plants in the Shade.

Ore of the handsomest posies ws
have seen this year was the very at
tractive bouquet of wild flowers which
came to the RECORD office with the
com linents of Mrs. Walter Black Of
Current Greek last Friday. In the
group was probably a dozen varieties
Of Colorado wild flowers, all Of which
were plucked within the confines Of
Poncha ranch and were very beautiful.
Blue is one Of the predominant col
ors in our mountain flora; nature ap-
pearing to be more lavish with blues
and purples in the highlands than upon
the lower levels. and it was conspicu-
Gus in the boquet sent to US from Cur
rent Greek last week. In the botany
of Colorado are some of the most beau
tiful wild flowers in America, and, rep
resentstives Of them grow on Poncha
ranch if the bouquet alluded to may be
taken as an index to its productiveness
in that line.

When westbound freight train No.

Canon City last Friday morning the
conductor was unable to find his two
brakemen, and on search being insti-
suted they were discovered lying on
the top Of the train in an unconscious
condition. They were lying about two
car lengths apart, both suffering from
bad cuts and bruises about the head.
The names Of the unfortunate men
were NJ. L. McGraw and + J. Carna-
han. both Of Denver. The latter partial
ly regained consciousness shortly after
his arrival here and stated that they
were struck by something after leaving
Florence. but what il was he was un-
able to say. The general superstition
is that while the tram was passing

some way struck by the or-rh=nging

proof that such was the case, although

The Lease of Lands

THR RECORD has received from Mark
G. Woodruff, register of the state
board OF land commissioners. a tabu-
lated statement making a comparison
OF the amount of public lands leased
and the revenue derived from them
during the months of March. April.
May and June of the years 1902 and
1908. of the school lands the figures
show that at the end of June 1903 there
were l70.21s acres leased for which a
revenue to the people amounting to
81! ,5lS would be derived. a clear gain
over last year of s3 .ss,, when the acre
age leased was l49. .39s AMI the revenue
" $50. or the state lands there was
leased on the thirtieth of June of the
current year. 25.sa6 from which an iu-
come of - .2S3 would be received u
gain over last year, when the revenue
from this source was only 1925, and the
acreage leased amounted to only H.
,64. The present board of land COM
missioners appears to be doing pretty
good work, fact that is probably due
to some extent. at least. to the energy
of Mr.. Woodruff At any rate the re-
por. Just issued is highly creditable to
the board when compared to the work

The Booklovers' Library.

The efforts which have been made
for some months past to se:ure the
establishment of station in this city
of the Booklovers' Library of Philadel-
phia bids fair to became a success, and
should be a source of congratulation to
Canon people.
The Booklovers' Library has prov
ince distinctly its own, thus filling "a
long felt want in intellectual mat
tiers. 1t does not in any way interfere
with the mission of the public library
in fact, il is sort of an auxiliary
thereto, affording stimulus to its
friends to patrouize it still more
literally.
The Booklovers' Library is the big
gest thing OF its kind in America. and
has stations in all the large cities Of
the country and in many smaller COM
munities where the literary market is
sufficiently high to justify their organ
nation. Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and Cripple Greek are the only
places in this state where they are
located, and their subscribers find
them source of much profit and satis-
faction, as they afford them access to
all the newest and best books thing
impossible in a public library. outside
few of the leading cities Of the coun-
try.
1t is very creditable to the literary
atmosphere of Canon City that pro-
prietors Of the Booklovers' Library are
willing to open branch Of that instisu-
tion In 90 small place. q shey do not
care 70 locate them in towns Of less
