sented in Boulder as we'll as in Canon
City, probably better than the town
will well support.
1 have never seen a location for
city more nearly ideal and more beauti-
full in surroundings than this. 1t is
certainly in some respects the most
charming city in Colorado.
The better residence sections are all
found upon the high lands, surround
ing the city like Lincoln Park, the
Smelter Hill. Hardiugs addition and
Reynolds Heights surround Canon.
The residences are much finer than
ours. should think there are nearly
two hundred homes in Boulder as fine
or finer than the best dozen in Canon
City. A 10000 residence is a very
ordinary place in Boulder and there
are several costing s2s 900 or more.
There are some people of modeGate
wealth here from the East who own
Boulder business people put a greater
percent. of their capital into fine
residences than do our people.

The business section of Boulder is
not near up to our Main street in style,
tone or life. Boulder has more than
twice as many business houses, but
none in any line are a. fine as ours.
We have dry goods, clothing, grocery,
candy, drug and hardware stores,
barber shops and newspaper offices
that for style and outward appearances
will discount any thing in Boulder fifty
per cent.
/ suppose. the Boulder merchants
carry good stocks and are doing we'll
but they could get some pointers on
style by visiting Canon Oity
Boulder hotel Accommodations are
about what we had in Canon City
twenty years ago, and she has practi-
cally no opera house. In both of these
respects Canon City is away head OF
Boulder
The Boulder merchant is good
advertiser and the several / talked to on
the subject feel sure that their news
paper advertising brings good results.
In the matter of advertising the Boul-
der merchant is ahead Of Canon City
business men and he counts more on
his newspaper ads than on the show
window.
Boulder has four important institu-
tions that have done much to build up
the town. These are the State Uni
versity, the Sanitarum, the Colorado
Chautauqua and the street car system
Each has assisted materially inaBoul-
der's growth, and aside from these I
think Canon City has greater resources
than Boulder.
The farming and fruit country sur
rounding Boulder does not compare
with that around Canon City There
are some good small fruit farms near
here but they are not nearly so highly
developed, nor so productive as ours.

One of'the beauties OF Boulder is the
public square in the center Of the town.
1t affords cool and refreshing resting
place for all and emphasizes the value
Of green spot in the business center.

one with the beauty and value of the
agricultural sections. Longmont, Love-
land, FIT. Collins and Greeley are all
thriving small cities nearly as large as
Canon, entirely supported by the irri-
gated agricultural lands.
Stock raising and general farming
are engaged in, especially sheep feed
ing and shipping.
The two principal crops are potatoes
and sugar beets, both of which We can
raise very well in Fremont county.
Irrigation is further advanced in this
section than in any other part OF Colo
RADIO. A large per cent of the culti-
waited land is irrigated from reservoir
water saved from the winter floods.
If the reservoir systems were utilized
and developed in Fremont county as
they could be. we have enough fine un-
developed agricultural lands to make
Fremont county the richest in the state
and to double the population of Canon
City and Florence within few years
Practically nothing has been done
with storage reservoirs in Fremont
cousty. Some excellent opportunities
await the man who can swing a big
proposition in this line and will take
up the matter before it is to late.

The thing most noticeable in these
northern towns is the shady parks
Every town has its park. In some
instances it is in connection with
state institution.
Greeley has charming city park of
two squares right next to the business
center. Dozens Of gray sauirls gamble
about over the green and some are so
tame they will eat nuts from the hands
OF those who go there to enjoy the
shade.
After visit to this section q Canon
man is more impressed than ever with
the fact that Canon City needs more

A Big Oat Crop.

Talking about oats we are reminded
that about the most prolific crop OF
that kind Of grain We ever saw was
grown this year BY A. L. Earl on his
ranch on Orchard svenue, Fruitmere.
Mr.. Earl had three acres of oats on his
place that averaged more than six feet
in heighth. and occasional stalks could
be seen that were eight feet in length
The beauty about Mr.. Earl's oat crop
was the fact that the grain was no less
remarkable than the straw, some OF the
heads being nearly foot in length. 1t
is difficult to make anything like an
accurate estimate on the yield OF such
a crop, but it can hardly fall much be-
low a hundred bushels to the acre.
When nature exerts herself little to
grow big things in the vicinity Of Canon
City she beats the world. This Is no
less true OF the cereal crops than in the
production OF fruit.

Treea in China

| Tree planting in Northern China is
being strenuously enjoined by the au.
thorities, not only as a productive In
dustry for the people, but alike as a
means OF strengthening the river en-
bankments against floods and of check
ing drought OF late years trees have
been cut down wholesale for agricul-
tural purposes, while the peasants do
not take the trouble to plant fresh
ones, because the soil is so loose that
they must dig down very deep for a
satisfactory foothold So vast tracts
of fertile land are left barren, while
in the northern provinces especially

threatens to fill up the unoccupied
ground.

something About Canals.

The SueZ canal is usually considered
the most important example Of ship
canals. though the number OF vessels
passing through 1t annually does not
equal that passing through the canals
connecting Lake Superior with the
chain Of great lakes at the south. In
length, however, it exceeds any Of the
other great ship canals, its total
length being 90 miles. of which about
two-thirds is through shallow lakes,
says Harper's Weekly.
The canal connecting the Bay Of
Cronstadt with st. Petersburg is a
work of great strategic and CONNER
cial importance to Russia. The canal
and sailing course in the bay are
about 16 miles long, the canal proper
being about six miles and the bay
channel about 10 miles, and they to-
gether extend from Cronstadt, on the
Gulf of Finland, to St Petersburg.
The next of the great ship canals
connecting bodies of salt water in the
order of date of construction is the
Corinth canal, which connects the Gulf
Of Corinth with the Gulf of Aegina.
The canal reduces the distance from
Adriatic ports about 175 miles and
from Mediterranean ports about 100
miles. Its length is about four miles.

New Type of Engine.

From Germany comes news of a
locomotive worked by steam and yet
independent of fire of its own. The
engine has just been completed at the
Hohenzollern works at Dusseldorf and
is of type designed for shunting in
explosive factories. Instead of carry
ing fire in its own boiler 1t is filed
with steam from stationary boilers,
and when SO charged is capable of sew
eral hours work. The first warming
up occupies half an hour, and subse-
quent recharging can be done In
quarter Of an hour. The apparatus is
so simple that an unskilled workman
is able to look after it. The absence of
fire in place where dynamite or gun
powder is being handled is the reason
for the invention of this type of en-
gine.

Confederate Money Was the Only Con-
alteration Received for IL.
A suit has been filed in the second
division Of Pulaski circuit court which
takes one back to the days OF the con.
federacy. when the currency in circu.
laton was that issued by the Confed.
crate States Of America.
The suit Is q petition fled by the
heirs Of Mark Kelly, through their at.
torneys, Rose, Hemingway & Rose,
praying a writ of mandamus directed
to Francis Il. Conway, State land com.
missioner, to compel him to issue
patent to certain lands In Green coun.
ty, purchased by Kelly in 1858, and
which were paid for in confederate
money.
The petitioners are ]. W. Kelly, @.
d. Stone, II. L. Stone, Allie Stone and
Frances Valley Bowen, by NJ. r. Col.
lier.
The petition alleges that In 1883
Mark Kelly purchased at sale by the
common school commissioner of
Greene county the west half of the
southeast quarter Of section 10, town
ship Is north, range 9 east. consisting
of eighty acres, located in the north.
ern part of Green county, about eight
miles from Paragould. Later, when
the civil war was fragrant and when
the only circulating medium was con-
federate money" Kelly paid for the
land in confederate money, which was
accepted by the State as good and
sufficient payment.
However, Kelly neglected to secure
from the State a patent for the land.
He entered upon the land and remain
ed in full and undisputed possession
thereof until his death, since which
time the heirs have continued in DOS
session, claiming 1t as their own.
Recently they applied to the State
land commissioner for a patent on the
land, which he refused to issue on the
sole ground that 1t was paid for in
confederate money.-Little Rock
