The First Matches.

The first really practicable friction
matches were made by 40 English
apothecary named Walker in 1927,
He coated splInts of cardboard with
sulphur and tipped them with q
mixture OF sulphate of anthony,
chlorate of potash, and gum. Each
box, holding e~ighty-tour matches and
sold for a shilling, contained, also, a
folded piece of glass paper, whi3h was
to be pressed together while the match
was drawn through it. Three years
later another ingenious ipersOn named
Jones in London patented the idea OF
making a small roll of paper, soaked
with chlorate of potash and sugar st
one end, with 5 thin glass globule
filled With strong sulphuric acid
wss liberated by pinching the globule,
it acted upon the chlorate of potash
and sugar SO as to produce fire.

chants Association

With view of promoting the gen.
erai welfare of the community by en-
couraging public enterprise and of
protecting its members against loss
through the extension and continu-
ance of undesirable credit the Canon
City Merchants Association was or
ganized August 10th, 1901, with
small membership. Its first presi-
dent was A. p Nelson and its secre-
tary Farnum St John.
The association has occupied an i'm
portant place in the business affairs
of the community during the four
years of its organization, cndeavoring
at all times to exalt public morals
and stimulate civic pride. 1t has been
potential agency in advertising the
resources and advantages of Canon
City and has counseled and encour-
aged public and private improvements
whenever offered. No municipal
problem has arisen of recent years
that has not received its attention and
their solution in many cases has been
due to its helpfulness and advice.
The association has had an uninter-
rupted growth from the beginning
and now has nearly one hundred
members making ii the largest and

The only church structure in South
Canon is that of the Free Methodist
congregation at the head of Prospect
avenue. The membership is small.
In connection with the church is a
ilourishing Sunday School and much
good is being accomplished through
that agency. The pastor is Rev. w.

Geo. B. Lane.
