Comes to Canon Next Year
Newspaper Men Of the Arkansas Valley Met In Florence
and viii Come to Canon City Next March.

Florence entertained the Arkansas
Valley Press Association Monday, and
did it handsomely.
About a dozen counties were repre-
sented, and all the boys were pleased
and surprised at the push and in
dustries possessed by Florence.
The business session listened to an
entertaining program of papers and
discussions OF subjects interesting
chiefly to newspaper men.
At the election of officers, Guy U.
Hardy of Canon City was chosen presi- :
dent for the ensuing year. Other
officers were, Mr.. W O. Hunt of Wal
senburg, secretary; @. F. Ligget of
Lamar, treasurer. The executive COM
mittee appointed consists of E. o.
Blair, Trinidad. H. NJ. Mingsy, Canon
City and Joe F. Lawless, Lamar.
Canon City WAS selected for the next
place of meeting, and it is expected to
have the biggest meeting here nexs
spring in the histry of the association.
The entertainment of the guests was
in the hands of Florence's new Cham
Der of Commerce, and too much cannot
be said OF the liberal manner in which
it was done.
In the afternoon, members OF the
Chamber of Commerce drove the edit
ors about the town. showing them the

wells, the macaroni factory and other

What Has Been Accomplished By
lists on Lincoln Park.

Although some astonishing figures
are given by ranchmen in the vicinity
OF Canon City showing the profits to be
made in fruit and berry culture hardly
better instance of the prodigality oi
nature in the Arkansas valley can be
shown by orchardists than the results
achieved by Geo. R. Breckenridge at
l26 Garfield street, Lincoln Park.
Mr.. Breckenridge does not believe in
the strenuous life" so far as il APP
plies to the cultivation OF the soil.
although he is not by amy means ne
glectful of it's care and attention. His
philosophy 10 that "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" and. as
he can afford it. very wisely limits his
working time to five or six hours a
day, spending the afternoons in those
diversions and pleasures that seem to
Afford the greatest recreation
Mr.. Breckenridge has ranch OF
three acres, one sixth of which is oc-
eupied by buildings and lawn and is
therefore unproductive. On the prop
erty are one hundred apple apd one
fifth as many cherry trees. Ten OF thu
former are too young to be in bearing
and should not be taken into cnlcula-
tion in summing up results. and the
same is true OF one-third OF the cherry
trees.
Mr. Breckenridge has owned the
of the produce sold from IL, although
no value has been put upon the fruit,
poultry. eggs, etc, consumed by tie
family during that period. From tn.

Here is new feature in the contest.
We want to show you how easy it is to
get lot OK credits by getting new sub
scribers.
To every girl who brings in or sends
in ten new subscribers before April Ist,
paying one year each, we will give a
bonus certificate of 1000 credits in ad-
dition to the 500 which goes with each
new subscription. However, all the
votes must be cast in our ballot box
before April LIST.
So you see in this case, ten new sub
scriptions brought in and voted before
April lst-two full weeks offs worth
1000 votes or credits. It's worth look
ing after.
We are pleased with the character of
the girls who make up the list. They
are the best people in the county.
One new name is suggested this week
Miss Edna Linkins. Miss Linkins is
employ ed at her fathers grocery store

sometime uuring th@ summer COM
ing, FIVE young ladies of this county are
going to enjoy vacation trips, better
perhaps than they have had before,
ard chiefly at the expense of THE
REcoRD.
Two will 20 to St. Louis ard the
World. FAIR and three will go to Salt
Lake CITY, Utah. the Mormon Capitol.
Some of the young ladies have said
there is little preference in the trips
as the Salt Lake trip is a delightful one
for the summer time. The Salt Lake
trip will include stop overs at Glen
wood Springs, or any other place along
the line desired.
A full description of the trip and the
plan by which they may be secured
will be found in display ad on page
two. Read that carefully.
Remember there are five distinct
prizes to be given to Eve OF the leaders
in the contest and the fifth prize is well
worth making an energetic effort to se-
cure. Some one will probably get one
of the Salt Lake trips rathe. easily IL
they make little effort now.
Candidates in THK RkooRp's popular
lady employe contest should begin to
bring In their votes at once. Get as
many as possible in early. 1t helps.
So far very few votes have been sent
in. Not thousand in all. But from
now on something will be doing. Some
people have recently paid up subscrip-
tions and gotten their vote certificate
for their payment.
Quite number of people have been
in the habit OF paying for their RncoRp
subscription in January, OF early in
the year. They think they are entitled
to some votes. And we think so too,
So we shall issue 800 votes to every
person who has paid for their RECORD
for 1904. whether it was paid for since
the contest started or before.
Every person who holds receipt for
subscription for the present year, 1904,
may get their vote certificate by call
ing at The RECORD office.
