Cañon City record., 1905-02-09

The historic old structure stands on
property owned by Mr.. DeWeese, near
his splendid reservoir in the Wet
Mountain valley, only short distance
back from the waters impounded by
the great thirty-four foot dam, and will
be preserved and protected by him as
a memorial of those old days when
conflicts between the Americans and
the aborigines were taking place as
sapguinary in their character as any
that were waged between the clans
men of Scotland and the lowlanders of
England. The epoch OF Kit Carson
and his followers was the Homeric
period of Colorado, and they represent
the Hectors and the Ajaxes of our
Trojan wars. The old fort is a mute
but eloquent reminder OF past that is
rapidly being obscured by the dim
mists of an unwritten history.

all that remains to be done until it is

Cañon City record., 1905-02-09

At the time that the original plans
were formulated for the meetings TO be
held under the direction OF Rev. W. A
Sunday, it was thought that the lots
on the corner OF Main and Ninth streets
would be occupied, but the executive
committee has carefully examined the
advantages OF the different locations
proposed, and because of the proximity
of several churches and the freedom
from the noise OF the railroad, the
committee has decided to locate the
building at the corner of Macon avenue
and Eighth street. The lots at this
point are well calculated for the pur-
pose.
From all accounts, II the people of
Canon City turn out as they do in much
smaller places. the auditorium will be
insufficient for the seating of the
crowds which will attend. and overflow
meetings will have to be held in the
churches.
The building committee has decided
upon the plans and ordered the lumber,
which is due here in a few days. Be-
tween forty aud fifty thousand feet
will be required. People accustomed

MITCHELL HAS GOOD CASE
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, September 2-The stock mar ket did not immediately respond to the peace announcement as most people ex- jected. On the theory that the market would react on the receipt of good news the professionals sold stocks freely and several of the heavyweight plungers took profits on large lines. This caused the market to sag appreciably in the face of what the public looks upon as the most important piece of bullish news that has been received for year. The Euro pean markets have been acting better than those on this side the Atlantic. There has been concerted action on the part of the conservative interests to check any tendency to undue speculative exhuberance. The feeling exists never theless, that all the elements entering into the general situation tend to im- provement. Holders of securities are not lessening their lines and the prevailing sentiment is that prices will work ma terially higher between now and the end of the year. Conditions could not be shaped better for wholesale dealers in securities and they are acting as though they had only to wait to obtain very much higher prices for their goods than they could obtain at this time. The money market at home shows some signs of overwhelming but our credit abroad is unlimited and so are supplies of funds in the foreign centers This is regarded as insurance against money stringency in America during the remainder of the year

Christian Golf Sect.

Iowa Falls Uowa) Cor. Chicago Record- Herald.
 Golf and religion will be mixed for the benefit of body and soul by the members of a new sect known as Christian Golf ists," just founded by Rev. George Cady, one of the best known Congregational divines in Iowa.
 Dr. Cady, who is an enthusiastic golfer, manages to play the game, 1t Is alleged, without using profane language when he makes a mighty swipe at the ball and fails to hit it. and he thinks he can in duce some other enthusiasts to drop that most unnecessary adjunct. As health promoter he declares golf beats the rem edies proposed by Mrs. Eddy or Dowie.
 'If you tack religion on to almost any enterprise it will soon attract a lot of followers" he said. T don't know any, thing that needs an admixture of religion worse than does golf, and therefore I have decided to organize the Society of Christian Golflsts."

Gossip.

Commenting on a recent editorial in the Sun in which it was announced that the agricultural area of the United States was practically all under culti- vation, the Houston Post says that in the state of Texas alone there are 126,- 00O,OOo acres of good farming land still uncultivated, or enough for 100000 farms of average size. In the southern states there are 229,0000O0 acres of unimproved arabic land.
 Another burden has been put out upon the back of Southern Pacific. This time 1t Is an additional $60, ,000,000 in common stock of which $2s.0Oo,oo0 is to be used to exchange for the stock of subsidiary lines west of Fl Paso. leaving $31 000.

 John c. osgood for many years the ruling power of Colorado Iron and Fuel, looms up once more on the Wall street horizon. after a partial eclipse enduring through d perlou or two years. Ever since he was bounced from Colorado Fuel and Iron MT. Osgood has been building up an opposition company in the Gen. tennial state and he will very soon be formidable rival of the Rockefeller Gould corporation for the coal and iron business of the mountain regions. He is about to start in upon the construction of a s6000.0O0 steel plant at Trinidad, Col, and 1t is of rumor that the Rock Island will extend line to that city in order to give him an independent outlet.

LIght-Opera War.

From the London Saturday Review.
 An insurrection on Greek island is light opera or a burlesque. The oppo- sition instead of going on the stump goes on the bills, and with little more damage to themselves or to their oppo- nents. The summer climate in the highlands is salubrious and the nights pleasant. The insurgents live on their opponents cattle or are fed by sympa- thizers.
 In the early times of the foreign oc- cupation, while the Turks were still on the island, the days when each were to take the field were arranged before hand between the Turks and the in- surgents When the Turks were out the latter kept indoors or away in the hills. and the Turks took care not to be out when the Cretans arranged firing party.

Sensation In Wall Street.

The knowledge that a series of con ferences took place in Europe recently between F. Augustus Heinze, William Rockefeller and James Stillman created a sensation in Wall street. This is the first time that Heinze and the magnates of Amalgamated have ever got close enough to speak That of itself Is an event of consequence in the financial world. For seven years the Amalga- mated, which is an aggressive faction or Standard oil, tried to drive Heinze off the map Heinze, who knew he had rights and titles to immensely valuable copper properties, stoutly refused to eff face himself and put up great de- fense. The litigation and the political campaign waged against him shook the

Latest LawsGn Outbreak.

The latest outburst of the frenzied Bos- ton man is such a fragrant departure from common sense as to furnish war rant for a doubt as to his sanity-either that or to stamp him as devious. His proposition to run a bear campaign in copper stocks with a sl0,000,00o fund GA O00000 to come from public subscription Is as crazy proposition as any born in disordered mind of man. To sell 5OO,000 shares of copper stocks in New York and Boston would be to invite disaster and insure the loss of every dollar so invest ed. A short interest of even 100000

shares in Amalgamated would be suffi- cient to justify the running of a corner by the insiders and the stock might be pushed up to 150 or above with perfect ease. A bear campaign, such as sug- gested in the fambuoyant advertisement would be a picnic for Messrs. Rogers, Rockefeller and Stillman. It is very doubtful if the entire floating supply of copper stocks of the half dozen big com panies traded in on the New York and Boston markets is much above 800 900 shares. The postoffice authorities would be almost warranted in coming to the protection of the public In this case as they do in other discretionary pools in which the purpose is obviously to sepa- rate "innocents from their money. If widespread advertisement for subscrip- tion to a huge fund to do something which cannot be done Is not proof of ir- regular intent then what Is?
 Warfare Eminent.
 Now that George Gould is back from Europe interest is rearoused as to what he will do towards financing his many ambitious schemes in connection with his existing railroad systems Coincident with his arrival there appeared in news papers which derive inspiration from Standard oil banks and Kuhn-Loeb & Co.,. articles reviewing the Gould fnanc- ing of those properties during the last year The object manifestly was to dis credit the new securities bearing the Gould brand and arouse suspicion as to the wisdom of the enterprises and tRe ability of the men behind the guns to successfully carry out their projects It would not be surprising to see a bitter warfare break out between the Gould and Hartman factions. The Hartman peo- pie have been inviting such a warfare. and if George Gould should take 1t in his head to fight back 1t Is in his power to do considerable damage. He might for instance, inaugurate a rate war which would be effective in 75 per cent of Un- ion Pacific territory Noteworthy in this connection Is the fact that like his la- mented father, George Gould has no prejudice against making money on the bear side of the stock market
