WILL TRY AND IMPROVE
THE STREET CROSSINGS

At the regular meeting of the Canon
City Automobile club Tuesday night
several matters OF interest to its mem-
bers were considered, not the least i'm
portant of which was the question of
improving the defects of the concrete
street crossings, which have for some
time been a source of annoyance to
the drivers of vehicles of all kinds.
The crossings themselves are all right,
the difficulty being to keep the dirt
up against them in such a way as to
prevent a depression in the roadway on
each side of them. AS they are now
the earth is dragged away from them
flnen the streets are muddy by the
wheels of passing vehicles, leaving a
mound that is disagreeable In the ex
treme TO people who are compelled to
ride over them. The members OF the
Automobile club have a theory as to
how the crossings should be fixed and
will ask permission of the city council
to be allowed to improve and keep in.
repair at their OWL expense the cross
ings on Main street at the intersection
of Fourth and Fifth strets according
to their own ideas.

Sunday for the purpose of consulting
a specialist In relation to an injury
sustained by the latter to his right
eye in the high school laboratory a

young man and the injury has given
him but little pain or discomfort, al

caused him a good deal of worry. AT

MAIL ORDER CONCERNS
DO A BIG BUSINESS

While II is known In a general way
to people here that the mail order busi-
ness IN Canon City is very large com
parativeiy few of them have a very
clear idea of its volume, or of the
amount of money diverted from the
local channels of trade by their opera
ton.
rhe great department stores of Chi
cago and Kansas City have practical
monopoly of the mail order business
In this territory. although the mer-
chants of ST Louis. Denver and other
points ct some OF the business. The
two best examples. perhaps, are Mont
gomery Ward & Co, and Sears, Roe
buck & Co.. of Chicago, both OF which
have branch establishments in Kansas
City and conduct their western busi-
ness from that point These mammoth
concerns publish semi-annual cata-
logues of thousand or more pages
which they send to their patrons all
over the country and In them are
listed nearly every conceivable thing
needed in the economy OF life from q
paper of pins to a threshing machine
or an automobile. To issue these "si-
lent statesmen" twice year requires
the expenditure of many thousands of
dollars, those Of Montgomery, Ward &

d. C. SHEFFIELD'S TEAM HAS
STRAYED AWAY FROM HIM

A telephone message was received
here last Saturday night from D. G.
Sheffield, who left here a few days
ago via the overland route for Okla
homa, saying that his team had strayed
away the previous night and that he
had been unable to locate it Mr..
Sheffield was at Holly, Colorado, at
the time and was unable to proceed.
A telegram from him this morning
stated that he had not yet found any
trace of the missing horses. Mr..
Sheffield was making the trip to Okla

cases pay more than they would If
they made their purchases of the home
merchant
Farm and garden implements of all
kinds, clothing, groceries and the
thousand and one articles required for
the transaction of the most complex
business affairs are handled by these
great firms 10 the detriment of the
home merchant, who is entitled to far
more consideration than he receives.
There are people here who buy their
buggies, farm and garden tools, gro
ceries and wearing apparel of these
mail order houses, often to their f.
nancial disadvantage. An instance was
related to the writer a day or two
ago in which a certain man residing
in less than a mile of the Canon City
postoffice sent to Chicago mail order
house for some brackets needed for
the support of the cornice of house
he was building These brackets were
listed in the firms catalogue at sew
enty-five cents a dozen. They cost
a dollar and quarter expressage to
Canon City, making the total outlay
two dollars. 1t was subsequently
learned that identically the same
brackets could be bought here for a
dollar and quarter dozen.

apiece when placed in the hands of
customers.
At the beginning of last month Mont
is the time the fall distribution is
made, eight hundred of Montgomery,
Ward & Co.'S catalogues were sent to
patrons OF the firm in this county, five
hundred of them going to Florence
and three hundred of them coming to
this city. They come by express from
Kansas City and cost the firm for de-
livery twenty-five cents apiece, or a
total of one hundred and seventy-six
dollars. In addition to the general
semi-annual consignments of these cat
alogues scores of them come in by mail
and express, the average for Canon
City being something like seven or
eight week.
At the beginning of last month Mont
gomery, Ward & Co forwarded to Cal
ifornia points by the Wells, Fargo
Express Co. seventy-five thousand cat
alogues on which it paid eleven thous-
and dollars carriage. That such a
lavish expenditure on the part of the
company pays is evidenced by the gil
gantic business it does, amounting to
scores of millions every year. The
patrons of such firms buy nearly
everything they need to carry on the

EARTHQUAKES IN ANTARTIC
Vast Fields or Icebergs are DiSlOdged
and Sent Adrift by Disturbances
i'm Southern Polar Regions.

HONOLULU, Dec. 26.-Earth-
quakes in the Antarctic regions have
dislodged great quantities of icebergs
and sent them adrift, according to
the theory of Captain Josselyn of the
bark Nuuhau, which has arrived here
from New York by way of Cape Horn
Captain Josselyn reports finding
many large icebergs in equatorial
waters on both sides of South Amer
lea, and says that the temperature
latitude was 10 degrees cooler than
usual, owing to the vast quantities
of ice adrift.
The size and the direction of the
ice drift are supposed to be due to
heavy earthquakes in the south polar
zone, which broke off the mountains
of ice and sent them adrift at the
same time.
In latitude As degrees south, lon

New and Old Bank Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting q cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said a cashier. ut is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. As
a matter Of fact, nine cashiers out of
every ten try to get rid Of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
1T. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
err. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal of money. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when i'll a
hurry to relieve long line of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no rush. I'd rather pay out a mil
lion old bills than hundred new
ones"

WALLENDER KILLED HIMSELF
Former Wenatchee Doctor Takes His
Life at Home of His Mother
at bridgeport.

BRIDGEPORT, Wash. Dec. 26.-
The sudden death at this place Fri
day morning of DR.. J. Wallender of
Ballard, currently reported as due to
heart failure, proved to have result
ed from the taking of "a grains of
morphine with suicidal intent.
Two letters left by the deceased,
one to his brother-in-law, Joseph
Banska, at whose residence the ply
stefan died, and the other to his
daughter at Ballard, state he came
here with the purpose of self de-
struction.
He had been drinking heavily for
years. The domestic relations are re-
ported to have been unhappy.
When he arrived at this place to
visit his mother and sister he told
them he had come to spend his last
days with them, as he was tired Oh
living, but they gave no weight to
his threat.
DIR. Wallender informed friends
they would find loaded revolver in
his trunk, as he had at first planned
to shoot himself The revolver was
found and the discovery of the let
tiers he told them they would find in
one of his coat pockets aroused his
relatives to realization of the fact
that he must have taken the NOR
phine as he claimed.
DR.. Mckinley was summoned, but
arrived too late to be of assistance.
Deceased carried $4,000 life insur-
ance and just before he lapsed into
Inconsistencies he gave directions
as to the disposal of his property.
Mrs. Wallender, wife of the physi-
clan, was notified at Ballard, but
sent word that she could not leave
home owing to the illness of an in
FAINT. The funeral took place here
Sunday.
