rection of the engineers Of the re-
clamation service.
They were tavorabIy impressed
with the appearance of the country
but did not invest in property Of any
kind, although the future looks good
to them. The land is wonderfully
productive under irrigation and will
grow a variety of agricultural and
horticultural crops eQualled by few

OIL WELL SUPPLY co. HAS
BAD FIRE AT FLORENCE

Florence sustained a somewhat ser.
Gus fire Wednesday night in the des-
truction Of the machine shops Of the
Oil Well Supply Company. PennsyI-
vania concern which for a good many
years has conducted a big western
business through its Florence branch
The fire started in the blacksmith
shop and burned rapidly owing to the
high wind which was blowing at the
time. Through the efforts of the fire
fighters the flames were prevented
from communicating with the ware
iouse, a little way to the west Of the
burning building. where many thou
sands OF dollars worth OF supplies
we're stored.
How the fire originated is not now
known, although 1t ls suspected that
1t may have been incendiary.
1t is estimated that the damage to
the machinery will not much exceed
$4,000. and 1t Is believed the loss on
the building was about the same.
1t is announced that the shops will
be rebuilt. Florence is the distribut-
ing point for the company's business
in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and con-
tiguous states.

The writer has seen the water Of
the Cottonwood and there was an
abundance of it flowing September 1st.
Why not secure that which is as
pure as crystal when it can be had at
SO reasonable a cost, instead of ex-
perimenting indefinitely trying to get
pure water out of putrid river, while
the town dies. 1t has been plainly
shown that the proposed bond issue
will not increase taxes to any appre-
ciable extent, If at all. The engineers
estimate heretofore have all been
found to be practically correct. But
many false tales are being worked OF
on voting citizens and there is danger
of fatal mistake being made.

ONE OF THE GREATEST OIL

six weeks or two months developing
some oil properties In which he Ii

Denver or Kansas City.

There is no doubt that soft water will
make housework far easier in every
way. This Cottonwood Creek PROPOSE
ton is apparently our last opportunity
for soft water. We certainly would
rather have Cottonwood Creek water
and have it soft than the whole Ar
kansas River, for even when filtered
and settled the river water is hard.

worthy of thought. and the other more

Immediately after rain storms, the
pressure was utterly inadequate dur
ing the hours when use of hose was
permitted. The lawn had to be wat

square. Practically the only hour was
from five to six. From six to nine the
stream was often no larger than ones

The people a few blocks farther
north often had no water at all. We
have kept still because we have reali-
zed the uselessness of complaint. and
have hoped for relief in the near fu-
ture.

The growth OF the association dur
ing the last few years has been re-
markable, having increased from 500
in 1905 to 1000. which will be the ap-
proximate membership this year. This
very exceptional growth is the result
OF the policy Of the directors In en-
ploying eminent educators from out
side the state to be present and ad-
dress the association.
Two years ago the employment Of
President Stanley Hall OF Clark Uni
versity raised the membership to 1000.
and last year the presence Of Presi-
dent Jordan Of Leland Stanford Uni

COTTONWOOD WATER

The writer came to Canon last
spring, and being favorably impressed
with the beauty and fine climate of
the city. together with the surround
ing scenery and fertile fields, rare
combination, we decided to make a
permanent home her, and together
with our better half proceeded to sell
property back east in order to put the
proceeds in to a home here.
For a few days we used the spring
water solely, but before our money
arrived from the east we found to our
horror that Canon's hydrant water
was a very rich mixture of mud, sew
age, manure, grease and decaying ami
NAL matter, diluted little with aqua
pura H 20. in snnInays and the same
mixture in vhAGs except that the
most of the mud is left out and conse-
quently don't look quite 80 bad.
Our wife began trying to live with
out the use of water, but said the
effort might not be successful, so in
stead of buying a home our money
was placed in the bank, where 1t still
lies and will continue to do SO until
1t is settled whether Canon will pro-
ceed to get the fine supply of pure
water now offered them.
II not we will move on" as many
others have done, and as countless
numbers will continue to do year after
year.
We could have induced several good
families to come here but could not
recommend the move under present
conditions.
How many Of our citizens know Of
several good families who have been
kept away on account of the bad
water? We have learned Of many.
Good pure water is always consid-
cred of the first Importance in select
ing a permanent home.
We find great many of our people
do not understand that all the sewer
age Of Salida, the filth from its hos
pital, mills, railroad shops hotels,
livery stables and mines, as well as
that from Buena Vista and the smaller
towns and ranches throughout the
valley and tributaries above US is all
poured into the very water we drink,
loading 1t with germs Of disease and
nauseous filth beyond description.
In visiting neighboring towns in
this part of the state we always find
people who say Canon is fine town
all but its bad water, and we were
sick 30 much there we had to leave
It" And they tell this tale to all
tourists, who give us the ''go by" or
II they come get out of town after one
try at our aqua mixture.

made apparently to secure car line
to the top of the Gorge. 1t is well to

SHOT HERSELF WITH REVOLVER
Demented Lady in COrdele Commits
Suicide.

Mrs. q. L. DeBle, member of one
of the most prominent families of Cor
dele. shot herself to death at her home
in that city. The tragedy, which
shocked the city from one end to
the other, occurred at o'clock, while
the members of the household were
asleep. The dead woman apparently
selected the day when others had
planned a Thanksgiving, as those
around her were looking forward to the
day with great pleasure. After leaving
the room Mrs. Dekle turned on all the
lights in the house, then went to the
bath room, where, after placing pis-
tOl in her mouth, she fired the fatal
shot. The suicide of Mrs. Dekle is be-
ieved to have been due to an unbal-
anced mind over the recent death of a
young son.

GUARANTEE BY DODSON
Mi-o-na ths Only Stomach Remedy
They Sell in This Way

The guarantee given by DodsOn' S
Pharmacy on Mi-o-na stomach tablets
means something.
It is their perOnaI promise that they
will refund the money in case Mi-o-na
does not do all that is claimed for it in
curing Indigestion, strengthening the
whole digestive system and restoring
the health of those who use it.
If the head aches, if the back and
side are painful, if there is distress and
nausea after eating, if you are sleep
less, nervous, and out of sOrts,yQu can
with perfect confidence get a 50-cent
box of Mi-o-na from DOdson's Pharma-
cy, knowing that the remedy will cost
you absolutely nothing unless it gives
you freedom from all ills and pains and
restores you to health.
No one thing is the cause of more
suffering aud pain than indigestion.
Many cases of so-called kidney disease,
heart trouble and nervousness are only
different ways in which a weakened di-
gestive system shows itself.
Use Mi-O-na stomach tablets and your
ill-health will soon be gone, and you
will forget that you have ever had in
digestion or its resulting ills.
Dodson's Pharmacy can tell you of
their customers who have been restored
to health by the use of this remedy,
but the best evidence of their faith in its
powers to cure is the positive guarantee
they give with every package, some
thing that they do not feel like giving
with any of the other stomach remedies
they have in their store,
