To hurl thee headlong hath for ages

The Roads.

Which road is fairer, after all?
That one wherein a happy boy
Caught visions of larger Joy,
Heard gladstone voices call?
That legend-guarded path, wherein
1t seemed no evil days could fare
And for whose waysides, sweet and rare,
The morning sunlight shone?
Or that returning path, deep sown
From Memory's enchanting close.
Where reverently an old man goes
Again to seek his own?

The vasabondIsh Sons of God.

But there be others-happier few
The vagabondish sons of God,
Who know the byways and the flowers
And care not how the world may plod.
They, too, receive each one his day,
But their wise heart knows many things
Beyond the sating of desire,
Above the dignity of kings.

BACK TO CHINA.
Lee Wing. an Employe in the
Chinese Laundry. Struggled
Into the Country.

United States Commissioner Samuel
D. Trimble of Pueblo last Friday order
ed the arrest and return to the Flowery
Kingdom, under the Chinese exclusion
act, OF Lee Wing. an employe at Sing
Lees laundry, 800 Main street. The
prisoner was found to be without
the proper certificate of registration
and was taken into custody on the
complaint of Louis Adams, Federal
inspector of Chinese. The arrest was
made by the United States marshal,
and Wing was taken to Pueblo from
which place he was taken to San Fran
cisco in company with a number Of
other Chinese, who were illegal resi-
dents Of the country, and from that
city will be sent back to their native
land. Lee Wing came to Canon City a
few months ago and took the manage
ment of the laundry for Sing Lee, who
went to Pueblo shortly afterwards.
The object in making the change was
presumably to mislead the authorities
in relation to their right to reside here
under the law, but it failed to work.
1t was the first deportation of the kind
that ever occurred in this part of the
state.

OF IMPORTANCE
TO CANON CITY.
A Home Organization that Should
Have Generous Support.

The Atlas Oil & Refining Company
which organized some months ago for
the purpose of sinking for oil in the
Canon City field located Its first well
on Four mile creek about five miles
from the city. After drilling to the
depth OF 100 feet found IL impractical
at the present time to continue its
operations at that location on account
OF its formation and immense quantity
OF water which made it almost impos-
sible to continue the same. The COM
pany moved its derrick and machinery
to the J. T. Hazard place about two
and one-half miles northeast of the
postoffice. This location having the
same formation and shAle As the Flor
ence oil field there is little doubt but
that oil will be found in paying guam
titles. The company proposes to sink
a we'll in the new location to the depth
Of 2 800 feet II oil Is not found In pay
ing quantities at q less depths The
company has the machinery in resdi-
ness to proceed Immediately to sink
tlIS Wois but VIII hcco ocOut ~~TD'S -"
order to carry on its operations. The
company has therefore decided to cell
stock at one cent per share for the pur-
pose OF sinking this we'll at this place ;
but no stock will be sold at this price
after sufficient money has been raised
to sink this we'll. Geo. A. Baker. J.
H. Harrison and Geo. F. Rockafellow
will have charge OF letting the contract
and management for sinking this we'll.
Stock In the company can be purchased
by applying to d. N. Cooper. the sscre-
tary, At the city clerks Office.
Our citizens will do well to consider
this opportunity ss 1t is believed BY oil
experts that oil can be found here in
paying quantities, and Canon City and
its people ought to derive the benefits
from this source Of wealth which is
here.

Hills of Montana.

DR.. F. N. Carrier and A. E. Wilson
returned home last Sunday afternoon,
via Salt Lake City. after their hunting
trip in the Bitter Root Mountains
Forestry reserve, on the boundary line
between Montana and Idaho. They
packed into the wilderness hundred
miles from the nearest railroad station
and camped near the source OF the
Clearwater river, country famous for
big game Of all kinds. They killed =
couple OF large bear, two elk, and a
mountain sheep or two, to say nothing
of partridges, pheasants and other
feathered fry. The streams in that
section are teeming with trout and
other fish, and at certain seasons
salmon from the Pacific ocean find
their way into the Clearwater and its
tributaries. The country is heavily
timbered and is primeval wilderness.
