GOOD NEWS.
Grenada Tia, a Fine Prospect For
A New Railroad

Memphis will soon be called upon
to lend assistance to a railroad
project, the consummation OF which
will mean much to this city and Sec
tion. The Memphis & Gulf Railroad
Company, of which Chester II. Bond,
of Moorehead,. Miss, is chief promo
ter, will ask Memphis and Shelby
county to make subscriptions to the
stock and bonds of the company. 1t
is understood that about $3.50, 900
will be wanted from the city and
county.
The Memphis & Gulf Railroad
Compay was organized several months
ago to buid line from Pensacola,
Fla, through Meridian, Miss, to
Grenada, Miss, a distance of about
$50 miles. At Grenada the line is
proposed to connect with the Illinois
Central Railroads line into Memphis,
thus making a through Memphis
Pensacola line of 410 miles, just ten
miles longer than the Memphis-New
Orleans line of the Illinois Central.
Mr.. Pond and his associates organi-
zed the Cornell Construction Company
under the laws of New Jersey to build
this road. That company will float
the bonds and award the construction
o,.lxy in
engineer corps were put in the field
and spent about three months making
the preliminary and locating surveys
Another month of engineering work
remains to be done before the entire
route will be permanently located.
The engineers will go out again
before the summer is over to finish
this work.
The plan of the promoters is to
operate trains into Memphis through
a trackage contract with the Illinois
Central over the Grenada branch.
Before the new road can be construct
ed the Grenada line will no longer be
used as the Illinois Central main line,
but as merely a local branch. 1t will
thus be capable of handling the
Memphis & Gulf traffic without inter-
ference to the Illinois Central through
business. Within the next twelve or
eighteen months the Illinois Central
will divert it's through traffic over the
Lake Cormorant branch of the YazOO
s. Mississippi Valley road instead OF
via Grenada.

Lonsino wil Win.

The supporters of Senator Money
have been startled into an activity
that is born or fear. Gov. Longino
has developed a strength that increas-
es as the campaign progresses. He
has appealed to the people relying
upon their intelligence and firmness
to recognize their faithful servants
and will not be disappointed. When
the ballot has been counted it will be
found that Longino is the choice of
the people for the senate. His ad-
ministration has been clean and
beneficial from start to finish. 1t
shows from the records that he has
never looked to any other purpose
than the peace, prosperity and happi-
ness Of the people and the advance
ment of every interest of the great
State Of Mississippi, and the people
will say 'well done good and faithful
servant" 60 up higher. Reports
from all sections of the State indicate
a great victory for him. Many
unjust charges have been made
against him, but they have been
shown from the records to be ground
less and a great injustice, and their
| reputation increases Longino's popu-
larity and will largely increase his
vote.-Mississippi Messenger.

CONTEST OF THE STATES.
Illinois Still In The Lead. But Fol-
lowed Closely By Missouri,
Kansas And Iowa In
The Order Named.

How about that vote of yours in the
contest of the states now being con-
Quoted by tie RECORD? A large num-
ing the past week and have been about
equally divided between Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Iowa. leaving the
matter in such a condition that COM
parativeiy few ballots may turn the
scale in favor of either one o: them.
There are still great many RECORD
readers in Canon City entitled to par
ticipnte in this controversy that have
not yet Indicated which of the states
mentioned they resided in before COM
ing here, and it is from such that we
would like to have an expression upon
the subject. Fill out the bailot which
occurs elsewhere in this issue and bring
or mail. it TO this office so that you may
help determine the result.
Missouri is = great state and is
generally credited with having con-
tributed more people to the populati, n
OF Canon City than any other common
wealth in the Union, but considerable
doubt has recently arisen among the
Iowans, Kansas and Illinoisans as TO
the truth of his superstition and they
are embarrassing to show by voting in
the RECORD contest that they are
numerically sIronger ,than the former,
Iowa has had Big Mock OF ballots de-
POSTED to its credit in the course OF
the last ten days. so has Kansas, and
either may win if they are able to mus
ter their full vote. Illinois is ON the
safe side thus far, tut may be relegated
to the second or third place by the end
of the current week by little energetic
on the part of her COM
p-titors,
1t costs nothing to vote. nor will any
body be financial gamer in con-
sequence of the result. The contest is
a good-natured. generous one and i.
being carried on simply for the purpose
of deciding the much-mooted question
of which OF the four states alluded to
has added the greatest number of peo-
Pile t. the population of Canon City.
Ballots may be clipped from the
columns of the RECORD, or may be had
on application at this office, AS the

CHAPLAIN H0N0RED
Chaplain Wheeler appointed To
The Pastorate of The Morri-
son Memorial Church
At Denver.

Rev. T. S. Wheeler of this city. un-
til recently chaplain at the state peni-
tentiary. was appointed pastor of the
Morrison Memorial church at Denver
and presiding elder of Pueblo district
by the bishop of the Southern Methodist
church of Colorado at the regular con-
ference of that denomination, which
closed its thirteenth annual session in
Pueblo last Monday.
Although people here concur in the
fitness of Chaplain Wheeler for the
position to which he has been called,
they regret his prospective departure
from this city to enter upon its duties,
as they are 10th to part with so valuable
a citizen from the community.
Rev. Wheeler, who is an eloquent
exponent Of the gospel, has a wide
circle of friends and admirers in
Canon City who will felicitate him up
on the honor which has come to him in
spite of their disinclination to have
him leave, and they will endeavor to
console themselves with the reflection
that their loss will be Denver's gain.

WANTS SOMETHING DONE
The Ordinance Concerning Ninth
Street Railway Crossing
Should Be Enforced Says
w. B. Rowland.

To The EDITOR OF THE RECORD:
At regular meeting of the City
council Of Canon City in January 1903,
an ordinance was read. passed and
signed by the acting mayor, tnow may
orr requiring the railroads to put in
gates and keep a watchman to work
them at the Ninth street crossing, bet
ter snown as ''the death trap" The
railroad company was given sixty days
in which to properly protect life and
property at this crossing, and heavy
fine imposed for every day after the
time that the ordinance had not been
complied with. 1t is now seven months
and no move has ever been made by
the railroad company to comply with
the law or any fines collected so far as
the writer knows. 1t does seem as if
the proper city officials woul1 take
steps to enforce this ordinance as it is
not a matter of expense. No expense
however, is too great for the proper
protection of life, and every citizen of
Canon City, South Canon and Lincoln
Park, fully realizes the menace to life
every hour of the day, at this crossing
1t would seem as if the residents of
South Canon and Lincoln Park should
have some protection in going to and
from Canon City, particularly as the
merchants on the north side Of the riv-
er are the ones most benefited There
is no reason why this ordinance should
not be enforced IS the company is GER
tainly able to provide proper protection
At this crossing. 1t is through the main
yards where switching is going on con-
tinually. and seyera' hundred vehicles
daily, use this crossing, many of which
are driven by women and children.
The approaches are SO obstructed that
it is impossible to see train or an en-
gine going in either direction until on
the tracks, then one shuts his eyes;
cuts the horse and thanks Provide nee
(not the city officials) that he has once
more run '.the death trap" in safety.
There is no city in the East fourth
the sise OF Canon, that would tolerate
such state Or af.irs twensy-sour
hours. When an accident occurs, as
occur it will; the blame will be upon
those failing to enforce the law, but
that will be poor consolation fer the
unfortunates. If the residents of Lin
coin Park and South Canon cannot get
proper protection to life at this cross-
ing, then let them petition the postal
authorities for a post office in south
Canon; bank and department store
will soon follow, and in short time it
will not te necessary TO run such risks
in order to transact our business.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY
Horse Scares At Bicycle and Does
A Stunt Not on the Pro-
gram.

One of the most serious runaways
that has taken place here for some
time occurred on South Ninth street,
near the d & Il. G station, few
minutes before II O'Clock last Saturday
morning. Frank Chenchsrik and Mrs.
Paul Murd,-ck, who reside on the east
side of Lincoln Park. had driven over

purchasing a coffin for child of the
latter. which had died the previous
right, ard on starting home their horse
oecame frightened at passing bicycle
and ran away, the driver quickly
losing all control of the snimal.
Just before the Denver & Rio Grand
railroad tracks were reached the
woman jumped from the vehicle and
sustained a compound fracture of the
right limb, in addition to numerous
other minor injuries. The horse con-
tinued his mad course down Ninth
street, the man attempting all the
while to regain the mastery of the
situation. A short distance beyond
the river the wagon struck telephone
pole throwing Chenchsrik out, sprain-
ing his left ankle and shaking him up
generally.
The unfortunate woman was picked
up by some men working in the park
and carried to the waiting room of the
railroad station and Doctor selephon-

dent occurred DR. Carrier arrived, fol-
