it seemed to him, has there been SO
much to admire in the landscape and
in the attractive homes and wei. kept
ranches as was the case last Friday A
ride through its principal streets and
driveways, with orchards and gardens,
decorated in the first bloom and verdi
ure OF spring. stretching away to ap-
parently interminable distances in
every direction was an experience that
will not soon be forgotten. Such visions
are indescribable and must be seen to
be understood and appreciated.
As one rides through Lincoln Park
he beholds on every hand evidences of
the prosperity and contentment of its
inhabitants. This state of affairs is
manifested in new buildings, repairs to
old ones, and in thousand little
niceties about their homes which be-
token the fact that they are getting
along in the world and are satisfied
with the success they have made. One
cannot spent more than an hour or two
in driving about Lincoln Park without
being impressed with the neatness and
good order which everywhere prevails.
The inherent pride and ambition Of
people to be leaders among their fell
lows in the possession of attractive
homes seems to have reached its cli-
max on Lincoln Park for nowhere
among rural communities can be found
a larger proportion OF nice residences,
with coy, well-furnished interiors and
pleasing surroundings than is the case
in that delightful suburb.
Compare, II you will, the homes OF
the ranchers on Lincoln Park with
those Of any Of the farming communi-
ties Of your acquaintance in the Eastern
states and you will at once perceive
what Il great advantage rests with the
farmer from the standpoint Of climate,
scenery, society. horticulture, garden.
ing, in fact, in nearly every essential
which combines to make life worth
living. Lincoln Park is also fortunate e
in the character OF it's citizenship,
which ranks high in the social, moral
and intellectual scale. With all of its
good qualities on the material and
humanitarian side Of life, to say nothing
of the grand panorama OF mountain
and valley which unfolds upon the
vision to beautify the surroundings,
Lincoln Park is in nearly all respects
an ideal place to live for those whose
ambitions lead them in the direction
of quiet, home life.
We noticed half dozen or more cot
tages in course Of erection in Lincoln
Park the other day, all Of them having
been designed according to the best
standards Of architecture. There has
been proportionately more building on
Lincoln Park during the past year than
in any other locality in the immediate
vicinity of Canon City, and, it is un-
derstood, that ground will be broken
for several additional residences there
within the next two or three weeks.
More fruit, shade and ornamental
trees have been planted on Lincoln
Park this spring than ever before, and,
in view of the splended outlook for
big yield OF apples, peaches, cherries,
plumbs and all varieties of berries and
vegetables, it is safe to say the general
average Of prosperity was never so high
among its ranchers as at the present
time.
With the exception of pears, plum
and some Of the earlier varieties of ap-
pies, which were injured by the recent
frost, the fruit prospect was never so
good Ms it is this spring and there is
every reason to believe that the crop
will be considerably in excess OF that
OF last year and that better prices will
prevail in the Colorado markets BY res-
