LOANING MONEY AT
FIVE Per CENT.

The Fremont Building and Loan
Association is loaning money in such a
manner that it will cost you in the end
only about five per cent.
Suppose you have been carrying a
mortgage on the home for $500 for a
long time at 8 or 10 per cent. You have
not reduced the amount because you
have never been able to save enough to
make payment.
Borrow the amount from the Build
ing and Loan Association. Your pay
ments will be sl0a month. In about
six and half years stock will mature
and you will be free from debt. You
will never know how it happened.
You will have paid off the loan and
your interest for the whole time would
have been only about five per cent per
year. Figure it out for yourself.
In six and half years you will have
paid in $3.50. That is only $3.50 for in
terest or about four and six tenths per
cent per year on the loan.
Let the officers show you what others
have done. G. H. Kellenberger, pres.

Florence oil people expect to show up
their industry in fine shape President
Wallace, of the Chamber of Commerce,
is interested, and has gone to work
with determination to make Florence

Florence can make a good showing
in oil, cement and some other manu-
featuring and mineral products, and
she is not so slow on fruit.
Our people must not forget that the
first orchards Of this county were near
Florence, and some of her fruitgrow-
ers would be tickled to death to get
some Of the good fruit premiums over
Canon City exhibitors.
Florence also has some good stock

A special train left in the morning
carrying three hundred people, one
third of whom were children. The
train went as far as Alta Vista where a
grand view was obtained of Victor and
the district. Then the train came back
to mile post No. 20 where the people
spent the day in true picnic fashion.
Returning in the evening raging
torrent was found in one of the gullies
just this side of Ora Junta so the train
was taken to Florence. But when
Florence was reached it was found that
the D. & K. G. between Canon and
Florence had been washed out, so the
train and the people spent most of the
night in Florence. They reached Canon
at 3 O'Clock Wednesday morning and
all agree that for the small price it
cost they got their moneys worth.

EDITOR RECORD Il am very much
pleased to notice the effort now being
made by some of our enterprising citi-
zens to start County Fair which, to a
certain extent, revives the Fruit
Days" we used to have. have always
felt that it was a serious mistake that
we allowed the Fruit Day celebrations
to cease. l remember very we'll the
cause Of the abandonment Of them
which came from feeling on the part
of number of our people that it was
only benefit to the "land owners"
and therefore that others had no vital
interest in it. In this conclusion they
were surely mistaken and I believe in
my position as a banker I have been
able to size up the situation fairly and
justly. believe / am entitled to speak
frankly on this subject owing to the
undesirable position l have held for
years OF heading subscription papers
which job, by the way, | would like to
turn over to some younger and richer
man.
/ write this communication with no
though in my heart to scold any one
for their lack of interest in our old
Fruit Day entertainments but only a
desire to point out to them the mistake
that was made, and try and encourage
every one to take hold and all work to-
gether in any effort put forth from now
on to build up our interests.
My conclusions come from interviews
with new settlers over my bank couu-
ter. took pains during the Fruit
Day periods and since to ask new peo-
pie who came here what inducement 1t
was that brought them here. / pre-
sumo have interviewed one hundred
men and women on this subject and /
have found that fully one half of them
were attracted here either by what
they saw at Fruit Day exhibition or
what some Of their friends saw and re-
ported to them, thereby interesting
them to such an extent that they want
ed to come here. buy property and be-
come permanent residents. They were
nearly all people Of means and have be-
come good settlers.
Injustice to my friend Dali DeWeese,
l think / ought to say here that large
majority Of the other half that have
taken pains to interview, came here
through literature, folders, etc., which
he systematically and continuously sent
broadcast over the country. don't
believe the business interests OF this
community realize what they owe to

COLORADO APPLES
AT WORLDS FAIR.
Canon City Apples are Attracting
Much Attention at the St.
Louis Fair-Will Get
Premiums.

Capt. B. F. Rockafellow has had
m any letters of compliment and con-
graduation on. his display of fruit at
the Worlds Fair
These displays are seen and noticed
by many people and are doing Colo
RADIO and Canon City much good.
Senator Swink, who is in charge of
the Colorado exhibit, writes Capt.
Rockafellow under date of August 9th
as follows:
Il thank you for the nice lot of
apples you sent US. They have at
tracted more attention than :any table
in the department. The judges claim
they were named wrong. We changed
the name to suit them. They call
them Gypsie Girl.
"Hope you will be able TO send US
some more of them and other nice
varieties. In fact, 1 would like to
have a sample of every variety of fruit
you have in its season. So far we have
shown more varieties Of apples than any
other state, and we want to keep it up.
We are anxious to show more varieties
Of marketable apples than any other
state, and to show that they will keep
longer, especially in cold storage.
Colorado has two varieties that
haven't been shown by any other
state"

FROM THE BANKS
OF THE WABASH.
Trip Through Muddy Alley Re
minds hoosier of the Treatch-
erous Slougs Of Wabash
River.

by cracky, that trip makes me
homesick," said an old Indiana farmer
the other day as he drove out OF the
alley back of Baker & Biggs. That
reminds me more OF the old sloughs
down in the Wabash river country
than anything see this side the Miss
issippi."
He had come through the alley to
get sack of potatoes from the back of
3 grocery store and he had come very
near miring down.
For time il seemed that the .horses
could hardly extricate themselves from
the deep. black, sticky mud, but with
the assistance of man or two with
poles TO help pry the wagon on they
houndered through.
II have seen wider sloughs than that
and deeper" said the old gentleman.
"but I'll be dodgasted II ever see any
wet dirt half as sticky or half as hard
to pull through as the mud in that
alley. I'D rather risk a Wabash slough
up to the horses belly than to try to
pull through that alley again"
The alley is reslly all but impossible,
and the merchants along Main street
are unloading goods in front and cart
ing them through rather than try to
get loaded wagons up to the back
doors.
Every now and then the street COM
missioner hauls in . few loads OF dirt
at the lower end of the alley, and in
time 1t is hoped this end will be raised
so high that the water will be turned
back and make its escape at the Fifth
street entrance.
At the present time the alley is SO
nearly level at both ends that the
water scarcely runs either way and
merely soaks in.

NUMBER 20
ANxlousLY AWAITING NEWS,
Believed in Toxic Naval Battle Has
Taken Place.

Toxic, March 10.-It is believed here
that there has already been decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity of
'Vladiyostok and tidings of it are enX-
iously awaited. The Japanese fleet did
not, it is said, go to Vladivistok for
the purpose of bombarding the town,
but to locate and attack the armOred
cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia, Rurik and
the cruiser Bogatyr, the Russian feet
stationed there.
1t is understood here that when the
Japanese feet arrived there on Sun
day last it found the Russian squad
ron absent. If this is true it gave the
Japanese squadron advantages in the
way Of avoiding battle close to the in
shore batteries, at the same time put
ting it in position to prevent the.
Russian ships re-entering the harbor.
It is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the
location of the enemy had been dis
covered, as it meant surrendering the
advantage Of being in a position be-
tween the enemy and the enemy's
base.
There is strong possibility that
the Japanese found the Russian ships
in the vicinity Of Possiet bay and gave
them battle there. The names and the
number of the ships in the Japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but
it was probably sufficiently strong to
divide into two divisions, the one to
guard Vladivostok and the other to
cruise in search of the Russian ships.
The Japanese are quite confident in
the ability Of their squadron to sig
nally defeat the Russian ships and
laughingly say that the big Russian
cruisers, which stand unusually high
out of the water, make excellent tai.

NAVAL FIGHT imminent
JAP FLEET EXPECTED TOLiE OFF
VLADtvoSTOk UNTIL THE
RUSSIANS RETURN.

St. Petersburg, March g. rhe
whereabouts Of the Russian Vladivos-
tol1 squadron is carefully guarded by
the military authorities, but there is
strong impression here that when
the seven Japanese warships appeared
of the harbor Sunday and Monday the
Russian squadron was outside, per-
haps down the coast cooperating with
the Russian land force near the mouth
of the Tumen river. II the Russians
were outside and the Japanese def
nitely ascertained that fact a big sea
fight is probably imminent as it is con-
sidered certain that the Japanese in
that case will lie off Vladivostok to
prevent the return of the Russians,
giving battle if they are caught in Ahe
open sea. All the harbors along the
coast In which the Russians might
seek refuge are frozen and the squad
ron must eventually be forced to re-
turn to Vladivostok for coal. Although
the Japanese squadron is superior in
numbers and guns, consisting of bat
tleship, four armored cruisers and two
unarmored cruisers. the four armored
cruisers Of the Russian squadron are
among the finest vessels in the Russian
navy, constituting as sister ships a
homogeneous fighting unit, and experts
here are not certain that they could
not take the measure of the Japanese
ships.
A naval service organ here argues
1engthily that the present Japanese
naval disposition presages a move
ment on large scale on the sea OF

laps Did Not eombard vIadivostok a

St. Petersburg, March 9.-There is
no truth in the report that the Jap
anese feet bombarded Vladivostok all
day long Monday. According to the
latest information the deet simply
showed itself and sailed away without
firing gun.
One reason for the appearance Of
the Japanese in Northern waters ad-
vanced here is their probable desire
to regain possession Of the island of
Sakhalien. which was ceded to Russia
by Japan. 1t is pointed out that the
whole Of Northern Japan will be
threatened with famine if the food
supply derived from the island of SAX
halien fisheries is cut off. Nine-tenths
Of the exports go to Japan, in addition
to which Japanese boats have been
carrying on piratical fishing along the
coast, which has exhausted the fish
supply OF the Amur estuary. The ma
tive tribes there are suffering from
hunger and typhus. The Russian gov
eminent will prepare a gunboat flotilla
on the Amur to provide for the pro-
lection Of the fisheries as soon as the
river is free from ice.
