THE REQUISITES NECESSARY
TO VOTE ON WATER QUESTION

Despite the recent explanation In
The Daily Record in relation to the
requirements necessary to vote at the
special municipal election to be held
Monday, the 31st inst, to determine
whether the city shall construct a
new water system and issue bonds in
the amount of 100000 in payment
therefor, there still remains some mis-
apprehension on the part of our read
ers as to who are entitled to cast .
ballot at that time.
Under the provisions of the statutes
any regularly qualified citizen of the
state whose name was on the assess
ment rolls of this county last year,
and who paid tax on property in
this city during the calendar year 1906
is legally and rishtfully entitled to
vote on the water proposition. 1t
makes no difference whether the tax
was paid upon real or personal prop
erty, nod does the law specify how
much the tax levy must be in such
cases

1t is commonly said "the air we
breathe should be as pure as the wa
ter we drink"
1t seems to be fore gone conclusion
that no one would question the neces-
sity of pure water, since for genera
ions past water has been regarded Us
the most common means of conveying
certain disease germs. This being
rue, our first duty as a municipality
to provide as pure water supply
s 1t is possible to secure
When we fail TO do this we are in
large measure responsible for every
:ase of sickness and death resulting
from an impure water supply.
There is no system of statistics
whereby we can measure the worth
OF human life and health. We might
of course estimate the cost of every
case Of sickness resulting from i'm
pure water. and compare the result
with the estimated Increase in our
annual taxation for a pure water sys-
TEN, but we see at once that these
figures would be entirely inadequate.
Each voter must make this a ques-
ton OF conscience rather than one of
dollars and cents. II our water sup
ply can be made more wholesome. let
us make II SO even II 1t does cost
$500 900
Anyone who has visited Cottonwood
will not hesitate to pronounce 1t as
pure as any mountain water in Color
ado. The contrast between the Cot
tonwood water and the Arkansas river
water. where the streams unite. is
very marked. The Cottonwood water
is clear as crystal, while that of the
Arkansas Is dark and turbid. Ifthere
was no other available water supply
than the Arkansas river, which in
years past was all that could be de-
sired. but which has now become an
open sewer for the towns above us,
an well as a dumping ground for the
placer mines. we might make the
best Of bad proposition. but when
we can secure good pure mountain
water II Is surely the thing for us to
do. even though II does Increase our
taxea.
Let us secure THE fine mountain
water. which IL as pure ms the air we
breathe, and thus remove the only
obstacle TO Canon's rapid growth.

LOOKS LIKE A FIRST
CLASS COPPER PROPERTY

E w. Hammond, who came down
from his ranch in the Black Mountain
country a few days ago. brought with
him some fine samples of copper ore
taken from a mineral vein upon which
Richard Swope and number Of asso-
ciates have been at work for the last
seven or eight months
The ore exhibited by Mr.. Hammond
shows streaks of native copper and is
about the most promising looking
stun OF the kind seen here for long
time
The discovery was made on the
ranch of William C. Lloyd. four or five
miles west of Guffey, last May. and
several men have been engaged in
development work ever since. A bond
and lease on the property was given
by Mr.. Lloyd to Mr.. Swope and his
associates several months ago, on the
payment of $1,000. If the ore holds
out, as there is every reason to be-
lieve 1t will, Mr.. Swope may be con-
graduated upon possessing one of the
biggest copper propositions in the
West

INTERESTING MEETINGS AT
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The evangelistic meetings which are
being held at the First Presbyterian
church under the direction of Rev.
Thompson are very helpful and inter-
.esting. The attendance is growing
and much good is being accomplished
in the matter of leading people to a
higher spiritual life and in drawing
closer the fraternal bonds that exist
between members of the church.
Rev Thompson addressed the stud
ents of the South Canon high school
at 9 o'clock this morning, and will
speak to the students of the Canon
City high school at the corresponding
hour Thursday morning.
The subject of his discourse at the
church tonight will be Prayer and
Its Answer"
Mrs. Thompson presided at an in
teresting meeting of the boys and
girls of the city at the church at 4
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. and will
conduct similar meeting at the same
place at $3.50 o'clock Friday afternoon
The public is cordially invited to at
tend all of these services.

ANOTHER MEETING TO
CONSIDER WATER QUESTION

An adjourned meeting for the fur
ther consideration of the proposed
Cottonwood Creek water system will
be held at the Court House Friday
night of this week. The committee
having this matter in charge is desir-
Gus of full and free expression Of
opinion on the question, and to that
end invite everybody to attend. 1t is
a matter of primary importance to the
community and the question should
be exhaustively discussed in order
that the tax payers of the city may
have an opportunity to vote intelli-
gently upon the proposition.

enough.
But after thinking over this plan
submitted by the City Council, having
seen the source OF supply and being
assured by those familiar with the
revenues from our present system OF
high rates and low water that our
taxation will be but slightly, If any,
increased, i am ready to stand by the
proposition unless better one can
be devised.
Water we must have. DIR. Clarke
of our city within twenty-four hours
has launched a new idea which he
says can be successfully financed for
half the present proposed bond issue.
l should like to hear from DR.. Clarke
both through The Daily Record col
umns and at the public meeting called
for a future date.
| suppose 100000 bond issue is
no greater an Indebtedness to us now
than 100000 was some twenty years
ago, and If the water revenue had
been conserved for water expenses we
would long ago have redeemed our
first bonds and had a large enough
sinking fund to make the present out
lay of little moment
An effective way to reduce taxes is
to induce new people to help pay
them, and pure soft mountain water
will be the greatest single attraction
to such an end.
Yours for progress,

The Citizens State Bank has taken
occupied by the postoffice in the Bur-
rage block, at the southeast corner of
Fifth and Main streets, and will move
into its new quarters April 1st, 1907,
at which time the postoffice will be
transferred to the Maupin building,
now in course of construction at Fifth
and Macon.
For some time past the board of
directors has been looking about for
a larger room, as the quarters of the
bank are too small to enable it to meet
the requirements of its growing busi-
ness. The postoffice room is more
commodious in every way and oppor-
tunity will be afforded for the bank to
meet the demands of its expanding
patronage without hampering in any
manner the business of the institution.
AS soon as the room now occupied
by the postoffice is vacated 1t will be
thoroughly modernized, inside and
out, and will be made as attractive
and convenient as possible. 1t will
be fitted with steam heat and will
have a handsome new steel ceiling,
tiled floor, in fact everything to make
it one of the most mp to date banking
rooms in this section of the country.
The Citizens State Bank has enjoy
ed healthy growth and while it is
one of the younger institutions of the
city it has been conducted along such
lines as to commend it to conservative
people Its statements show 1t to be

THE SUPPLY MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT FOR CANON CITY

A. W. Alexander of Howard, who
was in town on Tuesday. stated to The
Record reporter that the flow of water
in Cottonwood Creek was at all seas
ons of the year more than sufficient
for the requirements of Canon City;
in fact he expressed the opinion that
the supply there was ample for com
munity of double our present popula-
ton.
'The Cottonwood" declaerd Mr..
Alexander, 'fs the best stream from
which to procure municipal water
supply that l know of in Colorado.
Its course and water shed is above the
outer edge of the limestone and sedi-
mentary formations, and is therefore
soft water and almost chemically free
from mineral matter. Salida gets its
water from spring which does not
furnish one fourth the volume that
Cottonwood Creek does, but there is
no complaint of shortage on that
account
The Cottonwood is the only pos
sible source of a supply of clear soft
mountain water for Canon City, with
the exception of Poncha Creek, which
is still farther away. and consequently
would be more expensive PROPOSE

to a retired trestle in the corner, where
he could sup in peace and watch the
strange scene, which was so different

corner Of the chimney sat middle
aged gleeman, clad in faded garb Of
Norwich cloth, the tunic of which was
so outgrown that it did but fasten at
the neck and at the waist. His face was
swollen and coarse, and his watery,
protruding eyes spoke Of life which
never wandered very far from the
wine-pot. A gilt harp, blotched with
,, many stains and two of Its strings
missing, was tucked under one of his
arms, while with the ether he scooped
greedily at his platter. Next to him

age, one with trimming Of fur to

twinkling eyes and peaky beard.

fellows with tangled boards and
matted hair--free laborers from the
adjoining farms, where small patches
of freehold property had been suffered
