twelve INDECENT wards and no insane at
the county farm. the number of the
former being considerably below the
normal registration.
While by no means . revenue pro-
ducing Institution the county farm
under the skillful management of Mr..
burning is not a very heavy burden
upon The tax payers, as a great deal of
produce is marketed, the proceeds of
which materially reduces the cost of
its maintainance. The farm consists
of forty acres of productive land, one
eighth of which is set out in orchard
the remainder Of it being devoted to
agricultural and garden uses.
There are twenty-one acres of highly
fertile alfalfa and meadow land, from
which a big crop of hay is annually
harvested, and the income from this
source is no inconsiderable item, as it
yields about five tons OF alfalfa year,
which ordinarily brings about ten dol
lars ton in Canon City. Last season
the alfalfa crop at the county farm was
approximately one hundred tons, worth
at the present market price about one
thousand dollars at the stack.
From the five acres of orchard Mr..
burning sold nine hundred and thirty
eight dollars worth of apples, besides
retaining enough for the use of those
living on the place The two items of
alfalfa and apples were the princi-
pal sources of income, although they
were not the only varieties of produce
sold from the farm. The overflow of
portion of the farm by the excessive
rainfall of last summer injured the
hay crop to material degree, other
wise larger financial return would
be shown from the sale Of its agricultur-
al crops. Mr.. Burning has had charge
Of the county farm since 1857 and is
thoroughly conversant with its condi-
tions and capabilities and under his
efficient management the best possible
results are being obtained from the
tillage of the soil.
Plans for the proposed new building
have been drawn by Architect O, c.
Rittenhouse and will be officially con-
sidered by the board of supervisors
next Monday. Ths: the contemplated
improvements are badly needed will be
evident to any body that will take the
trouble to investigate the present con-
gested condition of affairs at the
county farm.

schools; and, lastly, at Colorado
Springs. instituted Colorado College
OF Liberal Arts, and an Engineering
School. The institutions Of higher
learning in Colorado do not yet offer
the advantages for advanced specializa-
tion that one finds, say, at Harvard or
Chicago; but for undergraduate work
one can do as well in this state as else
where.
At present there il a strong tendency
on the part OF the well informed to-
wards sending young men and women
first to n good college for the bachelors
degree, and afterwards to a large
university for special work. Many hold
that an undergraduate in the big uni
versities of the East is at great dis
advantage, as in many cases he is turn
ed over to young instructors and grsdu-
ates to be taught, while the great pro-
fessors reserve their time and attention
for grnd uate students only. And this
is often true.

Colorado has reason to be proud of
its educational institutions. An expert
in school matters who has Just spent
some time in this state says that, on
the whole, the public and private
schools Of Colorado compare favorably
with those of the Eastern states, and
are better than those OF the Middle
West. 1t is doubtful II any town OF the
size OF Canon City in the East has as
fine schools as one finds here.

DRUGGISTS BANQUET
The Canon City Life Savers Meet
and Discuss viands That are
Without the Provence Of
Their Profession.

The first annual banquet of the Can
on City Druggists Association was held
at Manning's restaurant last Tuesday
night and was very pleasant affair
from both a social and gastronomic
standpoint. One of the tepets of the
association is to have banquet each
year, but circumstances have preclud-
ed its members from carrying it into
execution until this season, although
the success of last Tuesday night s
gathering will probably result in its
regular observance in the future. In
addition to the membership, there were
present the employees, wives, sweet
hearts, and families of those connected
with the pharmaceutical profession
and the event was characterized by a
jolly good time. Mr.. Manning did
himself proud in the preparation of the
cuisine, which could hardly have been
surpassed at Delmonico's or Kiusleys
in quality or in the manner of its ser
vice to 1.-The guests. 1t was an event
long to be remember ID by those pres
ent and the next banquet will be looked
foreward to with mnch pleasurabls
anticipation.
There are five drug stores in Canon
City, viz: Hunter Palmer's, W. II.

 The Berliner Tageblatt of September 22 publishes an account of an extraor- dinary incident which it states, Is cre- ating a sensation in Strasburg.
 young artillery cadet, seeing the servant of a we'll known lawyer of that city riding a bicycle, mistook his livery for uniform, and angrily rebuked the man for not saluting him.
 The man. who was a Bavarian, jok- ingly explained the difference between a civilians livery and a soldiers uni form. whereupon the enraged cadet called a passing soldier and had the servant arrested.
 Subsequently the man was released. and complained to the colonel of the regiment. who not only upheld the ca- det's action. but maintained that the cadet had the right to run his sword through the servant as he had in- suited the German uniform.
 The servant will now have to appear before a court of law for insulting the cadet.
