To Improve Margaret Park.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil it was decided to expend one-hund-
red dollars OF the municipal money in
the improvement of 'Aargaret" Park,
which was given to the city by F. A.
Reynolds a few years ago with the pro-
viso that the council would appropriate
a certain amount of money for its i'm
provement from year to year Moth
ing has been done on the park for a
long time, and to prevent it from re-
verting toits original owner under the
terms of the bequest, the council con-
cluded to enter upon the work of inn
provement Beyond grading nothing
will be done on the park this season
owing to the lack of sufficient funds
for that purpose. Margaret. Park is
on Reynolds Heights north of Cooper
avenue and west of Fifth street and
consists of one block.

Some Facts and Figures
Relating the Profits From Fruit Growing and Garden
ing In the Vicinity Of Canon City.

The subjoined statement OF the
value of produce sold by Luther Van
Slyke from his five acre ranch on East
Grand avenue, Lincoln Park, during the
last three years were furnished the
RECORD few days ago, and, having
been taken from the books of Mr.. Van
SIyke, may be regarded as absolutely
correct. 1t shows pretty conclusively
that a practically energetic man can
make ss much. if not more, money on
five acre tract in the vicinity of
Canon City growing fruits and vege-
tables than he can in agriculture on a
quarter of section of land in the great
farming states of the Mississippi Val
ley. and can accomplish il at half the
expenditure of cash and physical
energy that would be required back
there.
