months and more will be undertaken
with the return OF spring. Several
residences have been erected and addi-
tions and alterations made to old ones
with view of increasing their attract
iveness and convenience. New barns
and fences have been erected In many
localities, indicating well-to- do-ness
on the part Of their owners which is
very pleasing to the eye.
The Canon City visitor to Lincoln
Park, who drives down Ninth street
and thence by the way Of the new
South Canon high school building, will
have his attention attracted by the
very pretty tive-room brick cottage be-
ing built by P. ]. Dorm at the foot of
Pump hill. 1t is being erected by T. g.
Robinson and is almost ready for occu-
pancy.
A short distance down Park avenue
from the summit of the hill will be no.
ticed the new, two-story. frame house
of @. O. Smith. now about half finished.
1t is being built under the direction Of
]. E. Sheldon and will be one of the
pretty places of Park avenue when
completed. Mr.. Smith and family
came here last October from Ohio and
were so much pleased with Lincoln
Park that they decided to make it their
home.
At 433 Park avenue is another new
house, five-roomed, frame cottage,
the property of ]. R. Pierce, who came
here about year ago with his family
from Hardin county, Iowa. Mr.. Pierce
was last season engaged in garden
ing with D. w. Clemmons. but the
partnership was recently dissolved.
Mr.. Pierce's father, who lives near
Waterloo, Iowa, is ninety-five years
Of age.
In our perigrinations through Lin
coin Park last week pleasant call was
made on Geo. X. Breckenridge, who
lives some distance back from Garfield
street behind a somewhat formidable
stone and iron fence. Mr.. Brecken-
ridge is a very companionable fellow
and before coming to Canon was en-
ployed in a clerical capacity in the
Milwaukee custom house. Mrs. Breck-
enridge is at present visiting at Long
Beach, California.
Frank Hoyt, OF 544, Sherman avenue,
is. perhaps, the most enthusiastic poul-
try fancier on Lincoln Park. He be-
lieves, with Col. Mulberry Sellers. that
there's millions in it," and says it is
an easy matter, with 500 chickens Of
the right sort, to bank 500 q month.
Mr.. Hoyt last year originated variety
Of chickens which he calls the Excel
s;or." They are = first class chicken
in every respect and seem to be better
adapted to this section than any other
kind.
NJ. E. Snow, who lives at the ex treme
east end of Sherman avenue, has made
several Improvements on his broad
acres" this winter. He 10 highly sue
cessful grower Of strawberries, cur
rants and apples; in fact, all OF the
treasures of Pomona's cornucopis seem
to thrive under Mr.. Shows culti-
vation Mrs Snow is one of the lsrgest
exhibitors and prize tskers of pantry
stores in Fremont county at the annual
state ssSr in Pueblo.
A trip through Lincoln Park ~ the
writer is incomplete without visit to
the ranch OF Merrett Hubbell on Grand
avenue. Mr.. Hubbell, like many OF
his neighbors 10 always engaged in,
some improvement that will add either
beauty or utility TO his property his
latest effort being a. porch TO the
rear Of the house. Mr.: Hubbeli has a.
large orchard Of well diversified trees
and literally ha. fruit ito burn" dur

his apple crop. last fall was excellent as
the writer can nbundantly testify from
samples given him by Mr.. Tvipp = few
days ago. Mr.. Tripp had the misfor-
tune to severely injure one Of his feet
last fall and has since been compelled
to rely upon, crutches as an agency in
He has about 1900 boxes
of apples yet to be marketed.
In suburb with as many pretty
homes as Lincoln Park it sOuld be in
vidious to mention any Of them at the
expense o4 others equally, perhaps, as
artistic and prosperous looking, and
we hope we are not guilsy Of doing 80
in speaking OF the residence Of w. Fl.
Paine at 342, Park avenue. Mr.. Prime
has drawn upon his mental resources
in beautifying mis- place and has in
creased its natural Attracthveness by
