Of this part of Colorado is annually
attaining a wider celebrity and must
attract more of that class of people
who are seeking locality where they
may escape the rieors OF an almost

houses must be built, otherwise an inn

the city's growth and expansion.

The apples are carried to the hopper

The fall apple crop Of the Canon
City district is being harvested rapidly
at present and orcbardists and dealers
are busy preparing them for shipment
to Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and other
states where they find ready market
at remuuerative prices. Many varie-
ties are being brought to town, among
which the Jonsthans, Shows, Rsmbos.
Grimes Golden and Buckinghams are
conspicuous. The Jonathan, which
may, perhaps. be regarded As the high
est priced fall apple by reason of its
keeping qualities, color and general
excellence, Yields the grower from
81. .2b to 81 40 a box, which is a better
price than It has commanded for sew
erAl years.
Both the fall and winter apples
grown here this year are OF better quail
it'd than usual, in fact, the dealers say
they have never known them to reach
such a degree OF perfection as they
have this season, due. no doubt, to
favoring conditions of weather and to
a more thorough spraying OF the trees
and by the use OF more effective chem
ical solutions for that purpose. The
increased care and attention being be-
slowed upon their orchards by Free
mont county growers has demonstrated
the wisdom of more intensive farm
ing and few OF them remain who do
not advocate cultivation Of the soil
about the trees as means OF promot-
ing their growth aud of afIording a
stimulus to their fruitage.
New facts are being mnde known in
horticulture every year and by taking
advantage Of these discoveries fruit
growers are enabled to obtain more
gratifying results than was the case

in others, but such thing A. an abso-

eastern consumers, a. well as by those
In the extreme west. In size, color,

An impressive feature of the program
yesterday morning was the annual
memorial service, held in honor of the
members of the union who have died
during the year, which occurred just
before the noon adjournment. During
the convention year twelve members
OF the Colorado organization have
passed away, among them being Mrs.
j j. Hollingsworth Of this city.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon a
visit was made to the penitentiary and
an inspection of that institution was
made through the courtesy of Warden
Cleghorn. Many OF the ladies availed
themselves of the opportunity of going
through the chief penal institution of
the state. Although considerable
number Of the delegates to the conven-
tion decided to forego the fatigue and
exertion of such trip and remain at
the church with the view of forming q
co-workers from other sections Of the
state.
The various local committees have
left nothing undone that would con-
tribute to the comfort and entertain
ment of the visitors and whatever may
be the results of the convention the
delegates are sure to carry away with
them a warm appreciation of the hos
pitality they received while in Canon
City. Among the announcements
made yesterday morning that caused
general regret in the convention was
the statement that Mrs x. z. Scoulter
Of Denver, who was to preside at the
diamond medal contest tomorrow
night. would not be able to be in at
tendance owing to the death Of her
mother a.few days ago. The appoint

Colorado Canning CO.
Big Improvements

In addition to a big business in the
shipment of fruit of all kinds the Colo
Canning Co. msnagent is carrying on
an elaborate program Of improvement
at its cider and preserving plant at tn e
foot Of Eighth street which will place
it in possession of one OF the most com
plete establishments of the kind in the
state in the course of few weeks.
With a view OF affording a market
for that class Of apples for which there
has heretofore been no sale the man
agement of the Colorado Canning Co.
decided to increase its cider making
plant and utilize them for vinegar. and
to that end employed G. Duerfeld OF
Louisville, Kentucky, a vinegar expert
of national reputation, to come here
and supervise the reconstruction of the
plant along model lines. Under Mr..
Duertelds direction radical changes
have been suggested and are being car
ried into effect as rapidly as possible.
Eight immense casks, holding one
hundred barrels each, have been install
led the last few days, which has in-
creased the storage capacity of the
plant so more than double it's former
capacity. These casks are connected

At WORK ON DRIVEWAY
TO TOP OF H0CBACk

Plans for a pleasure driveway along
the top Of the hogsback. which have
been in contemplation for long time,
are at last in fair way for realization.
A survey was begun yesterday and it is
expected that sixty convicts will be
put to work tomorrow morning build
ing the road. which will begin either at
Third or Fifth streets and ascend to
the summit OF the ridge by an easy
gradient. The road will be wide and
will extend along the top probably a
mile and half, affording one Of the
most beautiful views anywhere in the
Arkansas valley. The length of the
road will be determined by the amo unit
of money raised by subscription for the
purpose, as such enterprises require a
considerable outlay of cold cash. A
driveway along the top of the Hogs
back would be the first step in the util-
iEation OF Canon City's natural advan
tages as a resort. and would, no donbt,
be surplanted later by an electric rail-
wan to the top of the Royal Gorge.
Canon City has more scenic attractions
than any other town in Colorado and
by improving her advantages thous-
ands Of tourists can be induced to come
