The Great Western Coal Company
organized here last spring for the pur-

placing the enterprise upon financial
basis which guarantees its success as
one Of the biggest producers in Fre-

conducted the task with marked skill
and success.
Mr.. Heath succeeded in enlisting the
interest Of some wealthy friends In the

little difficulty vas experienced in pro-
curing the needed money for its ex-
ploisasion, and the company now has
approximately 10000 in cash at its
command. tMr. Heath says there 10
plenty Of capital seeking investment,
but those who control IL must be con-
vinced that the enterprise In which IL

protection. Mr.. Heath he'd such .

Apples
Are In a Class All By
Themselves.
When the People Become Better
Educated. Colorado Apples Will
Bring Higher Price Than Any
Otbers. Secretary Jas. Wilson
En6orses the Colorado Apples.

During his visit here last week
Secretary Of Agriculture James Wilson
was given carriage ride through the
orchards OF Fruitmere and Lincoln
Park BY Capt Rockafellow and the i'm
preston made upon him was very
favorable. - much so, in fact, that he
gave ;t as his opinion that Colorado
fruit was destined TO take . place in
the forefront of Americas 8 horticultural
products in the course Of q few years.
THE disintegratsd rock, which has
washed down from the mountain
slopes during the ages of the past, and
mingled with the soil has furnished all
of the constituents which are necessary
TO produce the perfect apples, both in
size and favor, rsid Mr. Wilson, q
condition. which. he asserted, existed
in few other localities in the country
and nowhere in the same degree Is in
this state.
he stated that he had visited all Of
the fruit growing sections Of the coun-
try but in none OF them had he seen
apples q equal size. color and excel
lenes Of Asvor ~ the ones he saw here,
which he assribused to the peculiar
organisation Of the soil, the almost
constant sunshine and 10 the benefits
which the trees derived from irrigation

opinion cf ssstssnry Wilson the Apples
Of COLORADO will in time become ~

HEALTHY CONDITIONS.
Only Ten Cases Of Typhoid Fever
Reported Since The Beginning Of
the Year.

Although people occasionally die in
Canon City. ne they do everywhere
else. il cannot be said that il ia not an
unusually healthy community and thnt
the average span OF life is not as
long here SIS it is in any part OF the
country.
There are probably, fewer contagious
diseases in Colorado than in any other
state Of the Union and the disease,
where IL does manifest its self, 10 of Q
less malignant type than in other Sec
tions. There are none Of those malarial
disorders inherent in the surrounding,

though many people finding themselves
suffering from affections Of that sort
come here for cure
A fe" years ago . wave of typhoid
fever swept over the Rocky Mountain
states, but the proportion Of deaths was
much smaller than in the Mississippi
valley. This year there has been very
little typhoid fever in Colorado, and
the ratio Of fatalities has been lees than
common. In this city only ten cases Of
typhoid fever have been reported to
DIR. Cannon. the city health officer,
since the first of January 1904 and
there has been = recovery in nearly
every instance. Ten cases of the
disease in ten months is . remarkable

eight thousand inhabitants and We
doubt whether there are half . dozen
places in the country Of equal impor-
tapce that have been ~ fortunate

tionally favorable here during the last

sicians, like some of the commercial
people, have been complaining of hard
