, A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR

Almost unique in the entertainment
annals OF Canon City WAS the assem-

witness the performance of Froi

As soon as the doors of the building
were opened they moved forward

capacity OF the ticket man to take up
the car,iboards OF admission, but II
did not last long and the ushers soon
had the m Ajority OF them comfortably
seated. The auditorium was full half
an hour OF so before Prof Greene made
his appearance on the stage and the
audience manifested its impatience Mt

1 THE AUDUBON SOCIETY
An Interesting and Instructive
Session at the Court House
Plans Laid for Increasing
ItS IJSefu1nesS.

The Fremont County Audubon So
ciety celebrated Washington's birthday
anniversary by an interesting literary
and musical program at the court house
last Monday afternoon. The district
court room. where the exercises were
held, was handsomely decorated with
the national colors and portraits Of
eminent men. among the latter being
a large picture of the first president of
the United States over the judge desk.
A feature of the meeting was the
presidents annual address, which had
b. en- carefully prepared and which was
listened to with the utmost attention
by all present. Among the other num-
bers in the program were several
charmingly rendered bird songs by
Miss Bessie Saunders and little Miss
Ivslene McDaniels.
The business part OF the exercises
consisted in setting on foot move.
ment for the organization Of juvenile
branch OF the Fremont County Audu-
bon Society, and to that end a COM
ullIbtt WAS efltCltd ifbih tit Hhpilh VI
the various public schools to draft
constitution and by laws and TO recon-
mend names for permanent officers,
the committee to report at the next
meeting TO be called by the president
OF the parent society.
There was n fairly good attendance
at Mondays meeting, among those
present being consideral number OF
children, and the event was a very
pleassnt one to all
A pleasing incident was the presenta-
tion TO the society of The Birds of
North America" very rare volume
on natural history 10y Prof. Spencer t.
Baird OF the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, u. C. ''The Birds OF
North America" was first published in
1850 and contains one hundred colored
plates The society Is very proud of
this valuable and interesting volume
and is thoroughly apprecintive OF Mr..
Reynolds splendid gift.
1t was asserted at the meeting that
birds were far more numerous In the
vicinity OF Canon City now than they
were at the time of the organization of
the Audubon Society year ago, a con-
dition largely due to the fostering care
bestowed upon them by it's members.

Escape Yellow Fever.

Mrs. Edmund Fletcher and two sons
arrived here last week from Monterey,
Mexico, and will make their home at
6ls Douglas avenue, South Canon. Mr..
Fletcher Sr. is still in Monterey where
he is engaged in The mercantile busi-
ness, but fearing an outbreak of yellow
fever there during the coming summer
decided to move his wife and family to
the contagion. The yellow fever was
unusually bad at Monterey last year.
If there was ever bargains in real es-

Among The Hogsback.

An effort is being make to revive the
agitation Of few years ago for the
construction OF driveway along the
top OF the Hogsback from the heights
above the penit-ntiary norihward to
the upper limits of the valley. thence
back across the mesa into town. 1t 10
asserted by those that have taken the
pains to investigate the subject that
such roadway could be built along
the summit of the foothills for a
distance of ten or twelve miles without
any very great outlay OF cash and that
when completed il would be one OF the
mos, interesting of its kind in Southern
Colorado.
In the matter OF location and en-
vironment Canon City is specially
favored, and, by the utilization of its
advantages, could be rendered one of
the most charming places Of residence
imaginable. We already have many
beautiful drives in tn. vicinity of the
city, but none OF them are quite as at
trsctive as one would be that ran along
the crest of the hills that mark the
western and northern limits of the
valley. A driveway along the top OF
the Hogsback would go long ways
towards pcpulariIing Canon City as a
summer resort

There is a big bunch of reas-
ons why you ought to patronize
the Steam Laundry but l will
Just hand them out few at a
time so they will have time to
soak in. Our line is pretty
sudsy but it is line just the
same. No wonder that some
people are always sick, they
have always had their washing
done in a tub and wash-board,
no thorough cleaning there.
Your underwear ought not to
be sopped out in so little water
with bar soap. Rosin filler
makes wooden harsh and stiff,
and linens yellow in time.
Water should be pure to drink
and still purer to wash clothes
in. After going through our
filtering system it is nearly
pure. This is progressive age
and the Steam Laundry is in
no case behind the times. We
have improved methods per
fectly sanitary. Our soap is
delivered to us in ton lots, pre-
pared by skilled chemists. AS
we understand soap making
ourselves we know why they
substitute filler for pure beef
tallow. We have begun to use
the olive chip soap, chemi-
cally pure, the finest silk and
woolen soap made. 1t will make
your flannels fluffy and soft and
keep hard heart warm. Try it

NAN PATTERSON IN JAIL.
Bail Is Refused and She Spent a Sad
Christmas,

Christmas.
New Workman Patterson's last
hope of spending Christmas with her
parents at their home in Washington
vanished Saturday when District At
torney Jerome announced that he
would not agree to reduction of
her bail. This was taken to mean
that she will again be tried. Her bail
had previously been fixed at $4,000.
When the district attorney made his
announcement Daniel O'Reilly, of coun-
sci for Miss Patterson, said
This surely means that there will
be new trial. We are anxious that
1t will be called soon and will make
every effort to have it called as soon
as possible"
Afterward he said that counsel had
decided not to attempt to get any bail
unless the district attorney does not
promise a speedy trial. Counsel, he
said, believed the best place for Miss
Patterson was in the Tombs as she
had been so long there.
The urgency for new trial was,
MT. ORellly said, due to the fact that
the defense has found some new, and
what they consider important, evil
dence. Part of this, he said was the
finding of some 80 caliber bullets in
Young's trunk. Mr.. O'Reilly said that
Prosecutor Rand admitted the finding
of the bullets, but contended that they
belonged to Mrs. Young.
The news that she could not be ad-
mitted to bail was broken to Miss
Patterson as gently as possible. but
she broke down completely, after max
ing brave show of cheerfulness all
day. Even though she knew she would
have to remain in the Tombs over
Christmas she had hoped she might be
released on bail next week.

-Four Men Killed
By Boiler Explosion

Chehalis, Wash. Dec. 30-Three men
were killed instantly and two injured,
one so badly that he died soon after
ward, by an explosion of four boilers
at the sawmill plant of Walworth &
Neville at Walvlle, Wash. The expl os-
lion occurred Immediately after the
mill started for the afternoon run. The
dead:
R. G. Hicks, single, 80 years of age !;
has relatives in West Virginia.
Frank Dowell, 80 years old, married;
wife and child at Walville; came from
Missouri.
Pres Epling, single, 26 years of age;
brother and sister at Walville.
Roy Ickes, single, 26 years of age;
relatives at Decatur, Mich; died soon
after the explosion.
The injured:
W. Buchanan, % years of age, sim
gle: probably fatally injured.
Elias Pacquette, scalded will re-
cover.
Walworth & Neville is a Chicago,
ILL.,, firm.
The cause of the explosion is I'M
known. The mill plant has been shut
down for repairs, and only sufficient
steam was kept up to run the cross arm
factory and the dry kiln. The boilers
were inspected by the official Inspector
of an insurance company not over 10
days ago, and were then pronounced
in good condition.
The plant is located on Rock creek ,
p miles west of Chelais, on the Che.
halls & South Bend railroad. When
the mill is running 100 men are en-
ployed.
The fact that the mill proper was
not in operation counts for the small
number of killed.
The mill was badly wrecked by the
explosion, the damage being estimated
ia several thousand dollars.

Going to Fight
the Paper Trust

st. Paul. Dec. % Attorney Gene
raj Moody, for the United States,
through Assistant District Attorney
Haupt and James M. Beck, special
assistant attorney generalfo the United
States, has filed petition in the Unit
ed States district court, in which lie
makes the General Paper company
defendant and its numerous constituent
companies part defendants in suit to
enjoin them and restrain them from
doing business through the General
Paper company as sales agent, In vlo-
lation of the provisions of sections l
and of the act of congress approved
July 2, entitled an act to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful
restraints and monopolles.
The petition alleges that the defend
ants entered into an agreement to COM
bine and control the sale of the product
of the different companies through the
General Paper company in that the
General Paper company regulated the
rices, sales and shipment and terri
tory for the sale of the same, and after
deducting operating expenses of the
General Paper company divided the
surplus among the members of the cor
porations.
The petition recites that the General
Paper company was organized under
the laws of Wisconsin May 30, 1900,
with capital stock of $4,000 divi-
ded into 1000 shares, which were dis
tributed among and are now held by
certain of the defendants named, and
that later the others were taken into
the combine, naming them in the order
in which they appeared in the trust,
and goes on to state that the General
Paper company became the exclusive
selling agent for the defendant, with
absolute power to control the outut of
the various mills, fix the price of all
the paper sold and to whom and upon
what terms and conditions the paper
should be sold; and into what states
and places it shall be shipped and
what publishers and other customers
each mill shall supply.
The petition alleges that in all con-
sequence of the combination all compe-
ton in the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution of paper has been restricted
and the price of all paper products
increased, particularly that
Of newsprint paper, which has been in
abuot so per cent. 1t further
states that no dealers or newspapers or
orther consumers in the territory west
of the Mississippi, with the exception
of certain newspapers publishers in ST.
Louis and Chicago, can purchase any
paper except directly through the Cen
eral Paper company, and then only on
terms dictated by the latter. The
court is thus asked to declare the al
legged combination unlawful an that
the defendants be perpetually enbioin-
ed form doing any act in pursuance Of
the same; and that the General Paper
be enjoined from acting as
sales agent for the other defendants.
and that the latter be enioind from
continueing their arrangement with the
GIral Paper company. The court is
asked also to direct the defendants to
come into court and answer all oues-
lions relating to allegations of the Pc
ton as may be necessary.

Washington's New
Irrigation Bill Framed

The irrigation commission which
was recently appointed by Governor
Mcbride have completed their work.
The draft of the new law which thew
were working on is completed and
makes very voluminous report.
This proposed law provides for the
appolntement of a state engineer by
the governor at salary of $4,000, with
an assistant at salary of $4,000.
The state engineer will have full
charge ofall irrigation work, under in
structions from the governor.
A committee of water commissioners
is also recommended to have charge of
SIX different sections of the state, into
which it will be divided with reference
to irrigation.
Ihe United States will be given the
right to withdraw water from any of
the streams which are being used for
irrigation purposes for one years time
with the privilege of extending this
time to two years when any project is
under way.
The United States is also allowed
the rlgnI or way over state lands for
any project of irrigation.
In case of any dispute the matter
will be left with the state engineer and
one of the water commissioners, with
the privilege of calling in second
water commissioner if they deem it
necessary.
The proposed law states that all the
waters in the state belong to the public
and are subject to appropriation for
public use. Every person, association
or corporation carrying water for the
use of others bt sides the one carrying
the water will be a common carrier.
The draft of the new law has been
sent to Seattle to be printed, and it is
expected will be finished in a few
days. 1t will then go to the governor
