Despite previous references to the

for sdverting to the horticultural prod
ucts of the Canon City territory when
eyer additional data in relation to the
crops is secured. 1t has been known
for some time that the apple crop this

hended, except to those of statistical
turn Of mind who have beguiled Them
selves by little figuring on the SUBJ

The shipments of apples from Canon
City during the last three months is
computed at six hundred and sixty-five
Car loads, which is equal to about 1884,

number of boxes BY one hundred and
