for the Canon City Elks Club for an
Injunction restraining the authorities

HAS GIVEN 1T HIS
OFFICIAL APPROVAL

Don't scoff at the souvenir post
card craze. It has been given the
endorsement OF Postmaster General
Cortelyou owing to the fact that it
provides the government with most
profitable source of revenue. In order
to keep the profitable fad from dying
out, the postal service has issued an
order providing that all such cards
may bear written messages on the
front, the right half of the card being
reserved for the address, and with
sufficient they win be transmitted un-
der post card rates to foreign coun-
tries. The order goes into effect on
March /, 1907, and the post cards will
be treated alike in both the domestic
and International mails.

Most people glad of invigorating
temperature. Only the very poor and
destitute regret it.
The snow and the cold of the last
few days have given the people of
Canon City a taste of winter such as
many of them were accustomed to in

in years gone by. 1t is only the very

atmosphere are welcome, for they
bring with them joys as intense as
does the summer when the air is soft
and warm. The heat and dust of
summer are to most OF US far more
disagreeable than the keen cold when
the earth is wrapped In cerements of

Summer Is the season Of vacations,
of excursions. of fishing. swimming.
camping, base ball and lawn tennis.
The autumn and winter months bring
with them much Of good cheer and of

kind during the winter. According

HELPS US TO APPRECIATE
OUR MANY ADVANTAGES

The almost frigid weather we have
been having in Canon City the last
few days, which we are glad to state
is beginning to moderate, is necessary
to give us proper appreciation of
our usually mild and equable winter
temperature. 1t has been wisely said
that to appreciate heaven we ought to
have about fifteen minutes of Hades,
and so it is with the climate. Ours is
about the best in the world, but we
would be unmindful OF it if we did
not have an occasional storm to
make us thankful for the many bright.
warm days we enjoy at this season
of the year.
We are upon the threshold of
Thanksgiving, which most of us as
sociate with frost and snow. After
it will come Christmas and New Year,
when we will wipe out the slate and
begin all over again. This is the
season of cold weather in northern
latitudes, and few days of discom-
fort should be no cause for repining.
Two-thirds of November is gone and
in comparatively short time We will
be watching for the blue birds and
the robins and the violets. The will
lows will turn yellow in anticipation
of warmer days and the buds on the
soft naples will begin to swell in
harmony with the resurrection OF
nature that will everywhere be going
on around us.
Under this roseate view of things
no man need worry. The present is
assured. When money gets tight Sec
retary Shaw turns a spigot in the
United States treasury and the golden
stream greases the wheels of COM
merce and everybody braces up and
| is serene. The trusts are getting lam
basted. The railroads have shut on
their passes, SO that country editors
will have to stay at home and work.
Ministers of the gospel will have to
devote themselves to their focks and
can't prance up and down the country
oH hau iaFe uChets. All nature is
smiling. The year 1906 will pass into
history as one of extraordinary pros
perity. Now, let us enjoy the winter.
for the first thing we know it will be
gone and the coming season will bring
a new crop of mosquitoes and bugs to
infiict us with malaria and worry our
souls. We have every reason to con-
tent ourselves.

COLDEST NOVEMBER
DAY IN MANY YEARS

The government thermometer at the
penitentiary, where local records are
kept, indicated temperature of two
below zero at. O'Clock Tuesday
morning, which is by far the lowest
registration of the season. Only once
last winter did the mercury show as
low temperature as it did this morn
ing. when it reached four degrees be-
low zero. 1t is believed that 1t was
about two degrees warmer at the
penitentiary this morning than it was
up town or in Lincoln Park owing to
its protected situation. Old settlers
say they cannot recall in a long series
of years zero weather in November

the true holiday season. We have
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years all within the space of six
weeks, and during this period there Is
more of the genuine holiday spirit
than during all of the rest of the year.
Then 1t is that men and women go
forth to make glad the hearts of their
friends and acquaintances. They
spend a months income in presents
for those who are dear to them. They
enjoy spending this money more than

INTEREST INCREASING

Already deep interest has been
awakened in the evangeiistic meetings
at the First NJ. r. church, under the

of righteousness with men,"
The text selected by the evangelist
