THINK We HAVE
FINE RIGS here

The great number Of fine pleasure
vehicles to be seen on the streets OF
Canon City is matter OF frequent
comment by strangers, and Ia to most
of them an evidence Of the general
prosperity. In few places OF the size
Of Canon can so many really elegant
and comfortable rigs, public and pri-
yate, be found as here, due. probably,
to the good roadways in town and the
immediate suburbs and to the length
of the season for driving, which In
cludes practically every month In the
year. During the last week or ten
days the city has had more than its
usual share OF visitors from other
states and many of them have remarked
on the splendid equipment OF our livery

they have observed on the streets.
There has been notable increase in
the number Of family carriages, bug
Ries and runabouts in Canon City with

HIS FIRST TRIP
WAS BY OK TEAM

W. II. Thompson. of lo3 Walnut ave-
nue., South Canon, was among the vis-
itors 70 Denver on the occasion Of the
G. A. b. encampment last week.
It vss Mr. Thompson's frst trip to
Denver in many years; in fact, he had
not been there since the days of freight
ing BY -sx tsAnss from LeAvenwcrth snd
st. Joe and he was greatly surprised At
the wonderful transformation that has
taken place there during the last gen.
ertion.
When all the traffic between the Mis-
souri, river and the Rocky mountains
was carried on by means OF prairie
schooners," Denver was about the sire
OF Canon City, out with the advent of
the railroads it began to grow rapidly
and the famous Platte route was aban-
doned by emigrants for the more COM
Portable and expeditions manner of
travel.
The changes wrought since the rail-
roads came across the plains have been
almost magical and suggest the story
of Aladdin's Lamp. Mr.. Thompson's
astonishment at the growth of Denver
during the last thirty-five years was
only natural.

hundred adherents and Sunday
school with an enrolment of seven
hundred and fifty. The First NJ. E.

effective, and 1t is not withou, great
