The general Arbor Day committee
met at the residence of d. E Gibson
last Thursday evening and from its
members subcommittee were ap-
pointed to make canvass OF the
property owners in the several dis
tricts outlined by the committee and
endeavor to interest them in the mat
ter of cleaning up their premises with
view of rendering the city as at
tractiye as possible. These sub-com-
mittees will also have charge of the
work that has been planned for the
goth inst. which is to be observed
in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of Governor Mcdonald.
Among the objects which the COM
mittee is trying to accomplish is the
removal of old and unsightly fences,
the cleansing of alleys and back
yards of rubbish of all kinds, and to
secure the planting of shade trees on
vacant lots and along the street line
In its effort to carry out its benefi-
cient program the committee asks the
cooperation of every man and wo-
man concerned in the welfare of the
community. 1t is a matter in which
all should be interested and in which
there should be a strong manifesto
ton of civic pride, without which
there can be no such thing as city
beautiful" here or elsewhere.
A circular letter has been sent &c
all the real estate men in the city by
the committee, urging them to inter
est nonresident property owners in
the movement which has taken such
strong hold upon people here. 1t
is beginning to be realized in Canon
City as never before that it pays to
clean up. If one has piece of prop
erty for sale IL is economy to clean
IL up If II is not for sale its improv-
ed appearance pays in personal salts
faction and there is n further salts
faction that one has something that
is worth more money than il was be-
fore the cleansing process took place
Now is the best time of the year
to clean up and everybody should get
busy" Plant trees and put in lawn
for the man who plants a tree or
makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before is a ben
efactor of his. race. The committee
is tremenduously in earnest about
cleaning up and in planting trees and
1t needs the help off every individual
in the city to 'carry-fee paanss and am
bitions into execution.
The committee has about 500 trees
that were ordered with the expecta-
ton that the various members of the
committee would be able to dispose
of that number al least. There is nc
one thing for the cost that gives sc
much of comfort, of pleasure and OF
value to property in Colorado as
trees. Dali DeWeese has donated SOC
shade trees for Arbor Day and John
Ritzman has given twenty-five dol
lars for the same purpose.

AS nearly as il is possible to judge
there is about one million miles of

as kindling wood.

decision rendered by the supreme
court last Monday will affect the man
ner of voting for aldermen in Canon
City. 1t has been the custom for the
whole town to vote on all of the al
dermen. Hereafter each ward will
choose its own representative in the
city council.
According to the finding of the
State supreme court aldermanic Sc
lections in cities of the second class
must be by wards and not by the
qualified voters of such cities at-large.
The court made the ruling in the
cases of the people, upon the relation
of Frank D. Stoop and Andrew Mich
OILS against ]. E. Lawson and P. j.
Riefel. Both plaintiffs and defendants
in error claim the offices of aldermen
from Ward /, in the city of Rocky
Ford. Lawson and Riefel are the
present incumbents, and Stoop and
Nichols claimed their seats by virtue
of having received the largest number
OF legal votes in the ward in the
spring election of 1905. Lawson and
Riefel claimed their election by vir-
tue of having received the largest
vote. The court holds for the plain
tiffs in error, and orders that the vote
in the wards be recounted.
A similar case is before the court
from Ward of Rocky Ford, which is
practically settled by this decision.
In the Idaho Springs case, involv-
ing the same point, the court sustain

TaIIowy Butter.

Referring to the statements of prac-
teal farmers, l.. S. Hardin says in
Home and Farm: In regard to feeding
wheat bran, they tell me 1 am entirely
right in what said and that there is
too much oil In cotton seed for regu-
lar diet for cows, while wheat bran
has just enough. 1t has other excellent
dietary qualities. These gentlemen tell
me that two pounds Of cottonseed
meal Is as much as one should feed q
cow in days ration when butter is
made. and 1t should then be fed with
corn ensilage made with the ears on
for its fat forming excellence. When
too much cottonseed meal is fed 1t
makes hard, tallowy butter, what In

onds" or third rate butter. That is how
