The swimming pool is becoming a
popular place for parties and little
gatherings. Last evening a half dozen
parties of from twelve to twenty peo-

every evening, besides the many who
go in smaller lunches.
Since the big pool was opened an
average of $50 people have bathed ev-

went in. Fully 500 people were out
at the pool Sunday.
Nothing was ever opened in Canon

COMMITTEE and LABOR CLUB
FAIL TO MAKE AN AGREEMENT
Club Officers Would Stop Selling Whkey and Alcoholic
But Think They Have the Right Sell Beer.

A final conference was held between
the members of the Citizens commit
tee and Joe Walton and his immediate
associates of the Canon City Labor Club
at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium Tuesday
night in relation to the abandonment
of the sale of intoxicating liquors by
the club, but the result was unsatis-
factory and the committee will be dis
solved as it is clearly manifest that
it is unable to carry out the purposes
of its organization. The report of the
committee will be given to the Daily
Record this evening and it will ask to
matter. In addition to a majority of
the members of the committee there
be dossolved from further responsible
ty in the matter. In addition to Major
ity of members of the committee there
was pre-ent at last nights conference
David Hortin president of the Canon
City Labor Club, Joe walton. its man
ager, md other officers and directors
of tho organization. The club repre-
sentatives expressed willingness to
give up the sale of whiskey and other
alcoholic drinks, but refused to aban-
don the sale of beer, claiming that
they had a right to sell 1t under the
provisions of their charter, granted by
the stats-
The committee refused to listen to
such a proposition and the conference
ended without any tangible results
having been accomplished For the
committee to have acceded to the pro-
posal made on behalf of the club would
have been to license the sale of beer
which it had neither the right nor the
Inclination to do. The ultimatum of
the committee to the club was to at
once Internationally abandon the sale
of all sorts of intoxicants within the
city limits. 1t was refused and the
conference terminated.

DRILLERS HAVE STRUCK
STRONG FLOW OF NATURAL GAS

The Western Oil & Water Company
encountered strong flow of natural
gas while boring for oil near the en-
trance to the Royal Gorge on Tuesday
at depth of between two and three
hundred feet Whether the quantity is
sufficient to warrant the company in
using it for fuel we are unable to state
The presence of gas strengthens the
theory that oil is among the probabil-
tiles as soon as the drill penetrates
the limestone stratum in which the
company is now working.
