Denvcr-A Canon City dispatch
says: Articles of agreement were
signed Tuesday night by F. S. Gran
ger and the executive committee of
the business men Of this city, whereby
the $25,000 bonus raised by citizens Of
Canon City and Florence for the estab-
lishment of an interurban street rail-
road system in Fremont county shall

County Bank, this city.
Upon the completion of the road, in
cluding lines from Canon City to Flor
ence. South Canon, East Canon, Lin
coin Park and the top OF the Royal

tion, the money will be paid over to
Mr.. Granger. Actual work will begin
March list, when a large force will
start grading and push it to compile
ton. Mr.. Granger has already placed
large orders for steel rails which are
expected by April 18th.
The cars will be the finest of their
kind ever put in service in Colorado
and are being built in St. Louis. 1t is
claimed that this will be the first
stafdard-gauge inserurban system in
augurated in this state. Mr.. Granger
promises to have the road in operation

He has in mind the building of a
suspension bridge across the chasm OF
the Royal Gorge at it's narrowest point,
Just below the hanging bridge, and the
extension Of the line along the noun
tains on the south side OF the river
back to Canon City, making one of the
most remarkable scenic routes in the
world. Such a bridge across the Ar
kansas would be over 1000 feet above
the river and would be the highest in
the world

ship SUBSIDIES
SENATE PASSES BILL AIDING
NEW LINES.
FIVE REPUBLICANS BOLT
Thirteen New Contract Mail Lines Es-
tabiished-subvention to Vessels
in Foreign and Philippine Trade
Naval Reserve Force Created.

| NAVAL nGSCFVG foFCe OFeaISQ.
Washington-At few minutes af-
ter o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
the Senate cast its first ballot on the
subsidy shipping bill, which was passed
by vote of 3s to 81. All the votes for
the bill were by Republican senator's,
and five Republican senators voted
with the Democrats in opposition.
They were Messrs. Burkett, Dolliver,
LaFollette, Spooner and Warner.
The vote on the bill was preceded by
action on number of amendments,
and this by an entire day of debate
Many important amendments were ac-
cepted, but only in one case was a
modification agreed to that was not in
accordance with the wishes of the
managers of the bill. The exception
was on an amendment offered by Mr..
Spooner eliminating the provision Civ
ing half pay to members of the naval
reserve who have served less than six
months.
AS passed the bill establishes thir-
teen new contract mail lines and in
creases the subvention of the Oce-
anic line, running from the Pacific
coast to Australasia.
OF the thirteen new lines three
three leave Atlantic coast ports, one
running to Brazil, one to Uruguay and
Argentina, and one to south Africa;
six from ports on the Gulf of Mexico,
embracing one to Brazil, one to Cuba.
one to Mexico and three to Central
America and the Isthmus of Panama;
four from Pacific coast ports, embrac-
ing two to Japan, China and the Phil
ippines direct; one to Japan, China
and the Philippines via Hawaii and
one to Mexico. Central America and
the 1sthmus of Panama
The bill also grants subvention at
the rate of IS per gross ton per year
to cargo vessels engaged In the for
eign trade of the United States and at
the rate of $3.50 per ton TO vessels en-
gagged in the Philippine trade, the Phil
ippine coastwise law being postponed
until 1909.
Another feature of the bill is that
creating a naval reserve force of TO-
900 officers and men, who are to re
ceive retainers after the British prac-
tice. Vessels receiving subsidies are
required to carry a certain proportion
OF naval reserve men among their
crews. The aggregate compensation
for mail lines is about 100000 an
nually. No steam vessels of less than
1000 tons is to receive aid under the
bill.

 "When Lincoln was practicing law," he said, ''he had a case in- volving a disputed will. The opposition claimed that the will was genuine, and for several hours adduced proof of this. For Lincoln, who had to prove the will a forgery, things looked black.
 Lincoln, however, called only one witness, 6 retired paper manufacturer, renowned the country over for his wealth and probity.
 "'Mr. Dash,' Lincoln said to the witness, handing him the disputed will, please hold that paper up to the light and tell us what is the wateFmark on it..

To the People of Arizona:
 Thanksgiving Day has become so much and so peculiarly an American institution that we look forward to it's near approach with feelings Uf grateful pleas ure.
 It had it's origin with the stur- dy pioneers Of new continent. It is hallowed by the customs of our people for nearly three cen turies. It is recognized by churches of every creed and has been embodied in our laws as the great annual American family festival of Thanksgiving for the mercies, prosperity and happi ness of the closing year. The memories of the years gone by of happy family gatherings have especially endeared the day to us all, having to those, of whom there are so many of us, who have migrated from the scenes of their earlier years, peculiar significance of the day.
 The president of the United States has by his proclamation designated Thursday, the 10th day of November, for it's observ- ance.
 By the law of the nation, and by the law of Arizona, it is made a legal holiday of the people of this prosperous community, to enable them fttingly and fully to observe and enjoy the ceremo- nies, all in their own manner, of Thanksgiving Day.
 Now, therefore, 1, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, November 29tb, 1906, Thanksgiving Day, and recon mend it's observance and celebra- tion as such.
 In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed. Done at Phoenix the capital, this first day of Novem, Der, 1906.

Tine question always comes up: What is gentleman? Some say he is a man with a silk hat, and others man with smooth tongue. But men connected with the newspaper trade have a canon of their own. ''Mr. Edi- tor," said a patron one day, chow is it you never call on me to pay for your paper?" 'Oh, " said the man of types, i've never ask 8 gentleman for money" "Indeed,' the patron replied.
