BETTER PACK, FOR
The APPLE MAN

As will be seen by reference to an
other column in this issue of THE
RECORD, local fruit dealers have estab-
lished grading list prescribing the
size. color and quality of apples nec-
essary to get them into the market un-
der the grades fancy" tchoice,.' etc,
which every orchardist in the Canon
City district would do well to remem-
ber.
For several years there has been
more or less complaint on the part of
dealers and consumers on account OF
the poor apple pack of local growers,
and to overcome this objection strong
effort is being made to obtain greater
care in the preparation of our fruit for
market
In no section of the country are finer
apples grown than in the Canon City dis
trict. but in some cases we are not able
to hold our own with the orchard prod
ucts Of other localities. Notably is this
true of Grand Junction, owing to the
indifference shown here in relation to
the pack. The people of Grand juno
tion have been taught the necessity
for q perfect pack in order to get the
best prices, and, as . result, their ap-
Piles have an entree to the most ex-
elusive markets in the country.
At nearly every meeting Of the Fre-
mont County Horticultural society
during the last two years the matte r
Of . better pack has been urged. but in
spite Of that fact it is not as good as il
ought to be. The "open sesame" to the
best markets is careful, conscientious
pack, and until that fact is generally
realized and complied with, our apples
viii not command the highest prices
In fruit. ~ in everything else, reputa-
tion is great thing. and until we place
upon the market our best products we
cannot hope to procure the fancy
prices which q well earned renown
brings.

will be greater, under normal con-

orchards have been started the last two
or three years, some of which will
come inio bearing next season; those
planted later will produce in due
course, making gradual increase in
the value Of the crop for many years to
come. The result Of the apple picking
now in progress accentustes the fact
that Canon City is surrounded by the
largest and most productive orchard
area in the state Of Colorado.

Driveway
Half Done

The Roadway Being Rapidly Built
Along the Summit of the Hog
back Will Afford One of the
Most Delightful Pleasure Drives
in the State
Under the direction of Overseer John
Allen, of the penitentiary, tine much
taiked-of pleasure driveway along the
top OF the hogback is rapidly becoming
a reality
The work is being done with convict
labor in pursuance OF statute enacted
by the last legislature, at the instance
of Senator Lewis, of Florence, which
provides that prisoners in the peniten-
tiary may be worked on the public
roads of the state, under certain condi-
tions. In addition to such other cred
its as he may be entitled to for good
behavior, each prisoner working on the
public highway is allowed by law a de-
dnction of ten days each month, when
SO employed, from his term of impris-
onment.
During the past week sixty men have
been engaged in the undertaking and
have made gratifying progress with the
work, which is somewhat ambitious
enterprise, as may be understood by
visit to the scene of operations.
Thus far the work has been confined
to the lower slopes of the hill, where
no blasting is required, but 4 harder
stratum will soon be encountered and
the advance will necessarily be much
slower.
The driveway crosses the Fruitlands
ditch on the grade above the head OF
Pike avenue and follows the old wagon
road past the mouth of the tunnel to
the quarry ON the side Of the ridge, and
continues along the same gradient for
about five hundred yards, where turn
il made to the north in order to take
advantage of ledge Of rocks, thirty or
forty feet below the crest Of the hill.
The top is reached by an easy align
ment, and for about . mile and quar-
ter the driveway leads along the sum
NIT of the mountain, descending to the
valley by gradual incline at a point
nearly opposite the fair grounds.
| Not far from its northern terminus
she driveway will pass through tan
mel for distance of perhaps fifty feet,
which will be an interesting feature of
the undertaking.
To T. NJ. Harding, d. E. Gibson and
few associates, is due much of the
credit for inaugurating the enterprise,
and through their efforts sufficient
money has been raised by public sub
scription to pay for the powder used in
the blasting operations and the liquid
alton of such incidental expenses as
the work may require.
I When completed the road will be one
of the most picturesque in the state and
will be an attraction of which the peo-
pie of Canon City may well be proud.
We doubt very much whether a more
beautiful and satisfying scene can be
found anywhere than the one which
unfolds itself before the vision of the
spectator as he drives along the pro-
posed roadway on the crest of the hog
back,
