Many Tourists
Are Expected.
Lots of Eastern People viii Vsir Colorado Next Summer
Canon City viii Get its Share Of Them.

The indications are that the tourist
travel to Colorado next summer will
surpass anything in the history Of the
state and that Canon City will attract
its full share Of these pleasure seekers
during the heated term.
There are many good reasons why the
influx OF visitors to this state next
summer should exceed all previous
records: Among the more potent agen-
cies in this respect being the meeting
of the international convention OF the
Society of Christian Endeavor and OF
the national encampment G. A. r. in
Denver and Of the very excellent work
OF the Colorado Promotion and Pub
licity committee during the past year.
Last year the Worlds Fair at St.
Louis proved great detrimeut to the
tourist travel in Colorado, but it will
not be subjected to the same handicap
this year; in fact, the Lewis 4 Clarke
exposition at Portland, Oregon, will be
help rather thsn draw back, as many

Electric Power Plant
Is Branching Out.
Many New Customers For the COLORADO Electric Company
Florence Among the Numbef.

The recent construction of power
line to Radiant by the Colorado Elec-
trio Power company Of this city seems
likely to result in several valuable
customers for that corporation, among
them being Florence. Rockville, Chand-
Ter, The Great Western Coal company's 5
mines at Yeathton and the Royal
Gorge mines south of the city.
The line to Radiant was completed
about ten days ago and the current
turned on for the first time on the
22nd Of last month. The Radiant
mines will use electricity for lighting,
hoisting and other purposes and have
contracted for a minimum current of
200-horse power.
The electric light plant at Florence
is inadequate to meet the demands up
on it, and the machinery having become
worn out it has been decided to make
requisition upon the company here in
stead Of erecting . larger and more
modern plant, and a branch will be
built from the Radiant line into that
city. 1t is believed that Florence will
require about 15o-horse power and that
it will be lighted from the plant here
BY the first Of March

Old Central Hotel

Rockville has also made arrange
ments for the substitution of electrici-
ty for steam power in its mining oper-
tions and in a few weeks will be re-
ceiving . current Of l25-horse power
from the Canon City plant.
President Bettis has contracted for
an electrical equipment for the Royal
Gorge mines, south of town, and as
soon as the change can be made power
will be conveyed from here for its me-
chanical operations.
The matter Of installing electric pow
er at the Chandler mines and at the
Cuckoo properties at Heathton is un-
der 'nsideration, but no conclusion
has yet been reached upon the subject
by the owners, although it is believed
that sooner or later they will adopt it
a. more economical and reliable than
steam.
The Radiant line, now in successful
operation. is about twelve snd. one-half
miles in length. The large increase in
its business will not necessitate any
additional equipment of the plant of
the Colorado Electric Power company.
as its capacity is ample to supply all of
the coal camps Of the county.

The annual stockholders meeting Of
the Fremont County Fruit Growers
Association WAS held in the district
court room last Saturday afternoon
and was in point Of attendance and
general interest the most successful In
the history OF the organization. Con-
sidersbly more than ninety per cent OF
the stock of the association WAS repre-
sented at the meeting and practically
every shareholder was present to take
part in its deliberations and assist In
the election Of new board OF directors

the calendar year 1906.
The primary object of Saturdays
meeting was to comply with the pro-
visions of its constitution, which de-
mands that an annual election OF it's
board Of directors shall be held and
that a report Of its secretary, general
manager and treasurer be made to the
stockholders as required by law.

ous TO assume that $50 ,soo was its full
share OF business from the horticultural
products grown here in 1905. The
