order on those having a pension al
ready. only will be 10 increase such
pension up TO the age limit. II the pen

wish to reserve their seats The
admission will be s1.00 for adults and
fifty cents for children.
Prof. Housely is the finest pipe or
ganist in the west and one of the best
in this country. His choir carried
off first honors in the competitive con-
test at st. Louis this summer and he
played two of the ten great recitals
on the mammoth organ at the fair.
We believe the price of admission
is reasonable for such a recital and re-
quest the patronage of the public to
assist in this way in paying for the
only piDe organ between Canon City

That nine O'Clock club suggested
by this paper is having ready response
all over the state. The object is to
get pledges from everydemocratic voter
to cast his vote at nine o'clock ON the
morning of election. This done he
can devote his time to seeing that the
delinquents and hold backs are voted.
Heretofore it has been the policy of
the ready voter to cast his vote late
in the afternoon, feeling that he
would have plenty of time. But
there have been times when there
has been congestion at the polls and
the work of bringing in the tardy
ones has been DELAYED. The Sentinel
urges firmly upon every democratic
voter to pledge himself to vote as ear
" in the morning as he possibly can
and then devote the balance of the
day in seeing that every democrat
goes to the polls and casts his or her
vote.

meeting. 1t is everybody's business
and not the business of few. If the
government should decide to construct
the canal, known in government
circles as the "High Line Canal Pro-
JET it would bring such an influx of
capital to this city. that Immediately
the entire country would note the eff
feet. Aside from the accession of pri
vate capital, the money alone expend-
ed on construction would create All
era of prosperity such as we never yet
experienced.
Under such circumstances cannot
everyone agree that it is matter in
which they are individually interest

matter with them to do all in their
power to further the proposed construc.
tion.

High hope is now given us that the
government recognizing the magnifi-

area of arid land through government

money to make possible the construc-

canal might be constructed through

did not desire to interfere with such
plans, but now that it is conceded
that the bost way to construct the
ditch is through the aid of the govern
