BARGAIN week PROVES
A Great BIG SUCCESS
Four People Take Advantage Of Bargain
Week Rates-oreat Compliment

Bargain Week closed Saturday night
"a very good success.
We had hoped that perhaps $50 or
800 people would take advantage of
the special rate We had determined
to be satisfied with the venture If 100
people should show their confidence
in The Daily Record by doing 500
we have reason to be very well salts
fed.
As a matter of fact 1874 people took
advantage OF the special rate. OF these
l7o paid for a full year and "a for six
months.
The circumstances under which we
sprung Bargain Week were not the
most favorable. Such a thing was
never heard OF in this country before
and by a great many at least The
Daily Record was not considered or
known to be on a permanent basis.
1t may have been asking a good
deal to expect people to come up and
pay for year In advance for paper
that had not run for more than about
four months. and which many thought
the field would hardly support
But in general way We are very
well pleased with the venture. In all
the advertising of Bargain Week cost
us little over hundred dollars.
Aside from the net results of the
collections we think we have gotten
good value for the money. We wanted
to let the people-everybod
there was Daily Record, and In that
we succeeded admirably. We got more
advertising for The Daily Record out
of Bargain Week than we could have
gotten In any other way.
We believe in advertising and we
spend our money freely when 1t comes
to that. SO far as we know we didn't
overlook anything in an advertising
way.
We used the bill boards, opera house
program. posters, window cards. flags,
postal cards. circular letters. but what
counted for most were the big page
ads and the special sample copies.
The other forms of advsrtisiAe
could not have done the buslneas but

MIR. RIPLEY TALKS
ABOUT WATER QUESTION

Editor of The Record
Dear Sir.-I wish to add a line to
what has already been said in regard
to the water question.
l have some more information In
regard to Cottonwood Creek. Mr..
Stotts has crossed this stream In June
going to his mine and found the water
plentiful, but on returning in October
he found 1t SO low he could step
across 1t anywhere. He thinks the
water supply would be insufficient for
late fall and winter use.
He crossed this stream four or ive
years In succession and found the
soame condition every year.
John Palmer drove cattle across
this stream late In the fall and found
the stream 20 low he could searcsly
water his cattle.
In Mr.. Palmsr's opinion ~ watsr

WILL BE NO CHARITY
BALL THIS YEAR

For reasons unnecessary to enum-
crate Canon City Lodge, No. 610, Bene-
violent and Protective Order of Elks.
has decided to omit this year the usual
charity ball. 1t should not be under
stood. however, that the Elks will not
dispense their customary charity
among the deserving poor at the
Christmas season on that account. In
stead of the ball the Elks have de-
cided to go down into their own pock-
cts and raise a fund for sweet char
ity's sake. Each member has been
asked to give what he thinks he can
afford for this purpose, and from the
very generous way the money is now
coming in it is expected that some
thing like five hundred dollars will be
raised among the three hundred and
twenty-five members Of the local
lodge

FIRE DESTROYS RESIDENCE
OF s. s. WORRELL

The residence of S. S. WorrelI at
the northeast corner of Seventh street
and Fairview avenue was destroyed
by fire between nine and ten o'clock
Wednesday night. entailing a loss of
something like seven hundred dollars,
covered by Insurance.
The origin of the fire is a myste ry,
but is supposed to have resulted from
"a defective fue or to have been caused
by the ignition of matches by mice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Worrell and family had
only been home a few minutes from
prayer meeting when the fire was dis
covered in one of the rooms of the
second floor
An ALARM was telephoned in to the
fire department, and was responded to
as promptly as possible. although the
twelve or fourteen blocks that had to
be covered before the scene of the
confiagratiop could be reached allow
ed the flames to make great headway
before a stream of water could be
turned ON.
By the assistance OF neighbors, who
were quick to tender their services,
practically all OF the furniture on the
lower floor was saved, amounting in
the aggregate to a considerable sum.
Mr.. Worrell estimates that the loss
ON household goods was two hundred
dollars aps fhaa ne damage to the
house was four hundred and fifty dol
lars.

is A MOST DELIGHTFUL
PLACE OF AMUSEMENT

Have you been to the skating rink
and enjoyed that poetry of motion"
which comes from gliding over its
smooth floor on pair of ball-bear-
ing, all steel roller skates? If not you
are to be commiserated upon the fun
you have missed by ignoring your op-
portunities.
Not until few nights ago did the
writer understand what really jolly
place it was and how much of enter
tainment was to be had by spending
an evening there, either in the sport
which the place afforded or in watch
ing the ever changing kaleidoscope
scene made by the skaters as they
swing in graceful, rythmic lines and
curves around the spacious building
to the music of the band.
1t is an exhilarating spectacle and
stimulates the blood to quicker flow
by thrill of excitement which it
awakens and creates a desire to join
in the giddy whirl that is all but ir-
resistable.
II is well hammered, good natured
crowd of people that assemble at the
rink, and they obey no wand but
pleasures.
The noise made by the skaters as
they pass over the floor is of itself
distinct, and has q peculiar fascina-
ton. 1t is unlike anything else and
suggests that composite roar of all the
city noises which one hears high up
in the air at midnight in Chicago or
New York.
Those who visit the skating rink,
like those who drink of the water of
Tivoli at Rome. have an overmaster-
ing impulse to go back again.
To skate is to enjoy one of the most
wholesome and delightful forms of
physical enjoyment; to look on while
others do so is at once pleasure and
fascination.
1t is doubtful whether there is
another rink in the state as attractive
and as completely equipped for the
entertainment of its patrons as the
one here. and to that fact Is probably
due much of Its popularity. With y
superg floor and beautiful interior.
supplemented hy the excellent music
provided by tn management. the rink
here furnishes aA ideal resort for the
purposes for which It was intended.
and must continue TO attract In In
creasing numbers people who are in
search OF recreation and healthy and

A COMPANY OF
MINISTER'S AND THEIR WIVES

six O'Clock dinner to theretired min
listers OF the Methodist church and
their wives now residents of this city,
at the parsonage, Thursday evening.
There were about twenty guests
present and the occasion was a MEM
orably enjoyable one. The dinner
was an elaborate AFFAIR and at its
conclusion there were number of
interesting talks. in the course of
which The speakers described their
early experiences in the ministry,
some of which were highly amusing.
Cañon City record., 1906-12-20

A number of Colorado Springs and
eastern capitalists were in town Sat
urday looking over the land east of
Canon City, and planning one of the
biggest irrigation schemes that has
ever been thought Of
The plan is unique and bold In the
extreme, but if carried out will result
in a great benefit to this city and
valley
Strange as it may seem these people
propose to water great tract of land,
that laying east of town and along
the F. & c. C. without buying a single
water right
The plan is to build immense reser-
voirs and save ali the flood and storm
waters which have heretofore gone to
waste.
One of the finest reservoir sites in
the state is on Six Mile Creek and
another on Eight Mile. A dam can
be put in and the flood waters caught
and backed up for miles over value
less land. For several months engin-
eers have been surveying along the
foothills and endeavoring to find the
best reservoir sites for the purpose.
Thousands of acres of the finest
kind of agricultural lands lay east of
town waiting for water which would
make it garden spot and would add
many thousands in population to the
valley. ---.....----f
The men who are interested in this
project are Chas NJ. MacNefll, C. C.
Hamlin, Jesse H Waters of Colorado
Springs; Henry NJ. Blackmer of New
York; A T. Parker, a famous irriga-
ton expert of California, and ]. @.
Mcdonald of this city.
The beauty of this proposition is
that it will not take a foot of water
from land now under irrigation, but
will add many thousands OF acres to
our tillable land. 1t also puts at rest
the rumors that the c. F. & I. were
trying to buy up the Four Mile and
other waters and transfer them to
their ditch, as many had feared from
the surveys being made.
In every way 1t means much to
Canon City to have the proposition
succeed.

AS TO THE FUTURE.

So it seems that The Daily Record
is launched for the year. In fact we
have determined to run The Daily for
a year without regard to cost or in
come
We have not and don't intend to
appeal for any business on the help
plan. or course we want business
both subscriptions and Advertising
and there is no use denying the fact
that we need it-but we shall ask for
it only along business lines. We shall
olicit and expect business only where
We can give the full value for the
money received.
We intend to make The Daily Re-
cord Indispensable to every household
1t will be made SO interesting locally
that people must have it The thing
that has encouraged us most is the
fact that dozen or more people who
stopped The Daily when the collector
called on November 1st or December
1st, to economize have since been in
to say that they must have The Daily
Record. They want to see what is
going on.
And as to advertising. That will
come, for 1t will not take any keen
advertiser long to see that The Daily
Record is reaching the people. reach
ing them often, and reaching them OF
Just the day that he wants
We are going to make it medium
that the business man cannot afford
to stay out of-and he will lose more
than we do If he does. For several
years that has been The Records way
Ito ask for business only when we
knew We could make it pay the man
who invests. We cut out the pass
the-hat style Of asking for business
a long time ago.

New Order Is Appreciated.

President ROOsevelt's recent order
issued from Oyster Bay extending the
application OF the eight-hour law so as
70 apply 10 all public work under the
supervision Of any department OF the
Government was received with sincere
appreciation IN this section by every
labor union man who carries n card
whether its enforcement would AFFECT
him or not. The victory Of the Presi-
dent Is taken 10 mean that he intends
to see 10 Il that the law is fully execut-
ed and that his first order issued for
the enforcement of the law early in
the summer was not a bluff, but SIN
ceTe.
Many Of the advanced thinkers. par
ticuIarly those members Of the eXecu-
tive council Of the American Federation
Of Labor who have been IN the Maine
Congressional political night against
Litueneld. and who have studied the
situation, think that the action OF Mr..
Roosevelt was prompted by the result
in Littlehelds district: that the order
is a recognition Of labor's demands, and
that 1t is a signal victory for the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
