A Mistake

The announcement made in these
columns last week that the Wells
Fargo Exbpress company was likely
to absorb the business of the Denver
g. Rio Grande Express company on
the railroad system of that name ap-
pears to have been premature. We
have been assured by Mr.. @. P.
Harris, local representative of tine
latter corporation. that such a merger
is highly improbable and that the D.
& R. G. Express company will con-
time to do business at the old stand
indefinitely. The statement was
redicated upon the alleged fusion of
interests of the Wells Fargo and Pa
cific companies. which was reported
TO have been in pursuance of a plan
said to have been formulated by E
n. Hartman of New York.
The absorption of the business on
the Rio Grande road by the combine
was regarded as probable inasmuch
as the latter is a Gould line

Answered The Cali

Rev. W. J. Fisher. pastor Of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church here.
has formally accepted the call ten
dered him a couple of months ago by
the board of missions of that denomi-
nation to undertake the work Of or
ganizing a Cumberland Presbyterian
church in San Francisco. Rev.
Fisher is well equipped for the duties
that will devolve upon him, and will,
no doubt succeed in establishing a
strong church in the metropolis of
the PacIfic coast, as there is con-
siderable number of adherents of the
Cumberland faith in that city which
will form the nucelus around which
church can be gathered by evan
geiizatiou. Rev Fisher and family
have been reidents of Canon City for
seven or eight years. and the former
ranks. by reason of the length of his
pastoral, % the Nestor among the
local ministers. Rev. Fisher ard
wife have endeared themselves to the
members of their church and are held
in the highest esteem by Canon City
people, irrespective of denominationsl
afiiliation, all of whom will regret
their departure for their new home.
No steps have been taken to secure
successor to Rev. Fisher by the
church here, although number of
letters have been received from min.
listers seeking the vacant pulpit. A
meeting of the church session was
held last night, but whether any de-
cision was reached in relation to y
pastor for the congregation or not we
were unable to ascertain.

that large audience will be present
to enjoy the occasion.
There will be eleven speakers, five
from the Canon City and six from the
South Canon high school and the en-

the winner, whoever he may be, will
have no easy task to vanquish his

selves assiduously to drill and prep
aration. The receipts from admission
to the opera house will be devoted to
the purchase of books for the high
school Libraries, and will be divided
equally between Canon and South

We are informed that the doors of

an experience with dogs in q certain
locality, which shall be nameless,
that has developed within him a

upon which he is not on familiar

was confronted by blear-eyed mon

Prospect for Sanitarium

AOSS$e AOA $SeA1I0A AoAA
DIR. Pit A. wade's cherished plan for
a sanitarium in this city seems likely to
be realized although certain difficul-
ties at present stand in the way of its
realization. 1t is believed. however,
that these difficulties are not in
supersble and that solution for
them will be found in the course of
the next few months. DR.. Wsde's
recent visit to indianapolis. Indiana,
in the interest of the proposed institu-
tion was very encouraging and as soon
as the details at this end of the line
can be worked out money to erect the
necessary buildings will be forthoon-

of one of the largest sanitariums in
the country at this point. If they
are consumnated the indianapolis
man. who has promised to feat the
bonds, will assume the general man
agement of the institution as a guar
antee to the investors that their
money is in safe hands.
DR.. Wade assures Us that if the
sanitarium is built the railroad COM
panies will make Canon City COM
mon point for passenger travel from
the East, thereby placing this city on
the same footing as Denver. Colorado
Springs and Pueblo. Such an agree
ment on the part OF the railroad COM
panies would be of immense benefit TO
us, as it would bring at the lowest
calculation fifteen or twenty thousand
tourists here every year, not to men
tion the preferential freight rates we
would enjoy. Fifteen thousand tour
lists every summer would mean in
creased hotel facilities, crowded streets
and prosperous business in all lines of
trade.
A sanitarium ON scale such as DIR.
Wade has in contemplation would do
much to advertise Canon City to the
world and would attract hundreds of
people from all parts of the Union,
which would be helpful in many ways.
When the Battle Greek. Michigan,
