CHAPTER XXVI

On leaving Ian Tcheou. the railway
crosses a well-cultivated country. wat
cred by numerous streams. and hilly
enough to necesstate frequent curves
There is good deal of engineering
work; mostly bridges. viaducts on wooden
trestles of somewhat doubtful solidity.

we are in the Celestial Empire, and

cident is hardly anything among a popu-
lation of four hundred millions.

of Heaven never travels by railway"
At o'clock in the evening we are Mt
king-Tcheou, after skirting for some
time the capricious meanderings of the
Great Wall. OF this immense artificial
frontier between Mongolia and China
there remain only the blocks of granite
and red quartzite which served as its
base, its terrace of bricks with the para
pets of unequal heights. a few old can
mons eaten into with rust, and hidden
under a thick veil of lichens, and then

lost sight on the undulations of the
ground.
All night was spent in running three
hundred kilomcters. A fog lasted all
day. and this hindered the progress of
the train. These Chinese engine drivers
are really very skillful and attentive and
intelligent. Luckily, the fog rose carly
in the evening. Now it is highland a
very dark night, too.
The idea occurs to me to walk to tbe
rear of the train, and | stop for an in
slant on the gangway in front of tbe
treasure van.
The passengers, with the execution Of
the Chinese guard, are all sleeping their
last sleep-their last be it understood IN
the Grand Transasiatic.

VERY LOW PRICES
ON JEWElRY GOODS

The sale of the Rosenberg jewelry
stock is progressing rapidly. This
sale is really an opportunity that
should not be overlooked. As every
one knows, there is very liberal
profit in the jewelry business. In the
Rosenberg sale the item Of profit has
been eliminated Many goods are
wholesale cost. The public generally
is familiar with the conditions that
brought about this sale. The stock
must be sold at once. Everyone who
has visited this sale, after seeing the
goods and getting the prices, has new
er yet failed to make n purchase. In
the stock is an elegant assortment of
sterling silver fiat ware. IL is simply
surprising the low prices put on them.
Then. too. the plated fiat ware prices
are astonishingly low. II takes an
inspection to appreciate the exception
ally low prices at which these goods
are offered. While Mr.. Rosenberg is
in the city he will fit glasses for his
which the jewelry Stock Is moving.
The entire stock must be sold out, aud
that quickly. Canon people have
never before had such an opportunity
to purchase low priced wares in the
jewelry line, and those who fail to
visit the sale will regret it. Stop in
the store when you are down town.
The prices made are certainly worth
invest eating.

ARE ADVERTISING
THE OLD TOWN.

Canon City never had so much good
advertising from any one source as it
is getting from the Sunday meetings
and THE DAILY RECORD.
Several hundred copies of THE DAILY
RECORD are going direct from The
Record office to eastern subscribers,
about fifty to Dixon, Illinois, alone.
Several hundred more are being
mailed daily by city subscriber who
read the paper and then pass it on.
You could hardly devise better
system for advertising the old town,
as far as it goes.
The church side of town attracts
more settlers than any other feature
and the Tabernacle meeting stuff is
good matter to send out.
We will send the Daily Record dur
ing the remainder of the meetings to
any point for twenty-five cents.

new ROAD OPENED
To TOP OF GORGE

The first trip to the top of the Royal
Gorge over the new road was made on
Thursday and the indications are that
there will be lot of travel over it this
summer. The new road branches off
at the DEVILS Gap and follows the line
laid out last week, which is about two
miles shorter and is in every way a
better route than the old one.
The county commissioners have
agreed to take over the road and
make it public highway as soon as a
survey has been made and a trail open
ed up for travel. 1t will be matter
of satisfaction to the people of Canon
City and vicinity to know that means
has been provided by which the top of
the Royal Gorge may be reached by
vehicle, condition of affairs for which
they are indebted to the city council,
the county commissioners and few
public spirited citizens.

REPRESENTATIONS
KILLS STAMP BILL.

Hon. A. H. Davis returned home
Wednesday night from Denver, his
duties as member of the legislature
having been concluded. Mr.. Davis has
made an efficient. faithful, conscien-
tious member of the General Assembly
and is entitled to the gratitude of his
constituents for his great usefulness to
them in the lower house of the legisla-
ture. Through his efforts several bills
of importance to the people of Fremont
county and the Arkansas valley were
placed upon the statute books, while
others of deleterious character were
killed. 1t was largely through the
work and influence of Mr.. Davis that
senate bill No. POP, legalizing trading
stamps was defeated. For this Mr..
Davis should receive the thanks of the
mercantile interests and the news
papers of the state. The trading
stamps is the enemy of legitimate
advertising and is an incubus to the
commercial welfare of the state. The
trading stamp business is fostered and
promoted by syndicate which oper-
ates in all parts of the United States
where it is not excluded by statutory
enactment. Its profits last year were
$50 ,OOn 900.

oens the employees here receiving an
advance Of about 10 per cent.
No estimate of the percentage OF the
