HORSE BACK RIDING
BECOMING POPULAR

Horseback riding has been revived
in Canon and the fad is popular as
never before.
Every day may be seen bunches of
horseback riders out for day of
pleasure in the mountains.
Old folks, young folks and children,
men and women, are taking to ii like
~ Hiwaiian untive does to the water
Our exceedingly mild winter makes
the practice especially pleasant at this
time of the year and it gives the tour
list an opportunity of seeing the coun-
try and enjoying himself.
The burro is used by some of the
younger set, but for most of the boys,
even of ten and twelve years of age,
he is too slow. The mountain pony is
as sure footed and as safe as the bur
ro and he gets over the ground much
faster.
The women are riding almost alto
gether in divided skirts. The old-fash-
ion side saddle and long riding skirts
are hardly ever seen and have appar-
entity been relegated to the garret
along with the mammoth hoop skirts
and enormous bustles of long ago.
Horseback parties and picnics have
been of every day occurrence all
through January and February.

THE RECORD CARRIES
the LOCAL NEWS

The Record is the ideal local paper
for- iocaf news Z = = :
AS we have said before, we don't de-
vote much time or attention to outside
matters
Every line in The Record applies to
Canon City and Canon City people.
The Record spends a lot of money
gathering the items of local and per-
sonal interest and it carries more
strictly local news about its own COM
munity than any other weekly in Col
orado.
The Record is published for Canon
City people wholly and makes no eff
fort to get subscriptions away from
the city.
Running as it does the leading local
paper. it naturally has by far the
largest list of home readers.
1t has been necessary to increase
The Record to twelve-page paper in
order to be able to make room for all
its local news.

ACTIVE WORK AMONG
SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Last week. according to announce
ments, was given to officers and teach
ers' conferences, primary and junior
meetings, parlor meetings, visiting,
talking, writing and arranging busi-
ness and social schedules, all for the
sake of concentration upon Sunday
school work. In Florence, Rockyale
and Canon City the activities were to
be seen and felt at least by those who
We're not altogether out of touch with
church work and absorbed completely
by business and other cares.
The work of the week came to a
fine climax in the big rally of Sunday
afternoon in the Presbyterian church.
The church was well filed with people
and with enthusiasm Responses,
whether in attention, or singing, or
giving, were hearty and more unani-
nous than is usual. Everywhere and
all week emphasis was placed upon
the fact that the Sunday school is or
ought TO be school. That in its W ork
there should be recognition of this
and higher degree of efficiency in Of
ficers and teachers and better mater
iais and methods all through. Teacher
training and soul winning and all that
comes between had their share of at
tention. The county convention will
be held in the NJ +. church at Flor
ence this year The date will be an
nounced soon.
The state workers who were here on
Sunday left for their respective homes
on Monday and left behind them a
large number of friends who have been
greatly stimulated by their presence.

EMPIRE ZINC PLANT
MAKES IMPROVEMENT

For the past few weeks workmen at
the Empire Zinc plant have been bus
lily engaged in lettering the equipment
and installing new machinery. The
capacity of the plant was doubled
year ago. The recent improvements
have been in the way of labor and
waste-saving equipment.
Two new gravity screens have been
installed and new bag house built.
A Type F" magnetic separator with
a capacity of 200 tons of ore day has
been put in This is the only machine
of this kind that is in operation in the
West. 1t is a recent invention and
separates the highly magnetic iron
from the more valuable ores. Two OF
them are being placed in Mexico. The
workmen are now rebuilding and en-
larging the office.

THE REV. j. B. COOK
TALKS FOR COLORADO

The Owego, n. Y, Gazette has this
to say of lecture recently given by
Rev ]. B. Cook, formerly pastor here:
About 800 persons enjoyed the
pleasure last evening at the NJ E.
church OF listening to the lecture of
the pastor, Rev. John B. Cook, on Col
orado. Mr.. Cook was pastor of the
church at Canon City, Colorado. for
two years before coming to Owego.
The speaker was naturally convers-
ant with his subject, having lived in
Colorado. He gave vivid description
of the Grand Canon of Colorado. and
described the other natural and beauti-
full attractions of that country. He
spoke of the climate and the products
of the state, both mineral and agricul-
tural.
He covered nearly every point of
interest concerning that state in his
lecture, which was listened To with
great interest for over an hour and a
half. The speaker has an easy man
ner of delivery, and an ideal power of
portrayal. The audience would have
been much larger but for the stormy
night"

CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO
ERECT FINE BUILDING

The Christian church has closed the
deal with C. w. Talbot for the two lots
facing south AT the corner of Seventh
and Harrison. The consideration was
$4,000.
In looking around the church people
found that these We're by far the most
desirable of available vacant lots for
church purposes and they feel that
they have been fortunate in the selec-
ton.
During the coming summer new
church building will be erected on this
site. 1t Is planned to put up not less
than a $4,000 structure and one that
will be a credit to the city as well as
an honor to the church that builds it.
Committees are at work raising the
necessary money and they are meet
ing with exceptional success.
Sunday building committe was
appointed to take up the matter of
plans and building. 1t consists of
j. w. Emmerson, G. F. Turner and
Guy U. Hardy.

PRESIDENT OF CLUB
Is CAUGHT MAPPING

David Horton, president of the La
boring Mems Club, who was tried in
police court and fined on each of eight
counts for selling liquor contrary to
the ordinances of the city, has been
tie guest of the city since Tuesday
morning. Two of Horizons cases were
appealed and bond filed. He has been
tried in the county court along with
others on the appeal and the jury dis
agreed.
Tuesday morning City Attorney Tay-
lor appeared in Police Magistrate Ro-
gers court and asked that a warrant
e issssd teE NJ Horton an shs uxAsx:

Horton was taken in charge by the
city marshal
Mr.. Horizons attorney at once sued
for writ of habeus corpus and a
hearing will be held Friday morning
at ten O'Clock before Judge Bailey.
Ii is Horizons contention that all of
the cases were appealed and that the
records show that the late Judge Mi
nor approved bond in all of the cases.

A THOUSAND PEOPLE
VISIT SKYLINE DRIVE

The Skyline Drive is about the most
popular thing that ever happened.
Sunday more than two hundred We
hicies and probably more than thous-
and people viewed the beauties of this
rich valley and the grandeur of the
mountains on the side from its dizzy
heights.
The name Skyline Drive has never
been really adopted except by common
consent, but II Is morally certain that
no other name will ever be given II,
or accepted II It Is.
All day long Sunday. and for that
matter, most every day, continuous
line of vehicles, people horseback and
pedestrians may be seen outlined
against the sky.
For mile along the top of the
Hogback the drive puts the passenger
right on the very top of the ridge and
outlines the profile against the sky.
You can see every detail, even the
spokes OF the carriage wheel and the
horses feet.
It's most remarkable sight. both
for the sight seer on the Skyline and
for spectators down in the town. For
miles about every movement OF the
Skyline sight-seer can be distinctly
seen.
The Skyline IL the most wonderful
OF drives, having no equal In America.
It will undoubtedly BE- ono Of the chief
elements In making Canon City plaos
worth seeing and remembering BY the
passing tourist.

FREIGHT RATE MEETING
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT

Every business man in town mas
been invited to meet with the Business
Mems Association Monday evening to
discuss methods for securing more
equitable freight rate.
1t has been learned that nearby
towns enjoy lower proportionate rate
than is accorded to Canon City freight.
The object of the meeting Is to pre-
pare data with which to 60 before the
management of the railroads and ask
that the discrimination against Canon
interests be discontinued. The freight
receipts at Canon are greater than at
any station between Pueblo and Salt
Lake City and 1t is the belief of the
business men that Canon should enjoy
the same favors that are accorded 9TH
er points.
The merchants are asked to bring

on the north from U. 8. Okey.
This is a wise and fortunate buy for

II was the part Of wisdom to buy this
land before 1t was occupied by dwell

MAY DEDICATE
EASTER SUNDAY
The New Building Was To Have
Been Completed Tuesday, But
Slow Arrival OF Material Has
Delayed The Work.

1t is the hope of the official board of
the Methodist church that they NAV
be able to have the church ready for
dedication by Easter. Contractor Chas.
Ward has been delayed time and again
by the failure of needed material to
arrive. Very early in the work of re-
construction the work was held at a
practical standstill for six weeks wait
ing for the big timbers to arrive from
the coast. The stuff was shipped, but
became lost in transit.
The contract called for the delivery
OF the church completed February 20.
and the contractor is liable for a PEN
atty of ten dollars day for every day
from now until the church is com
pleted
Whiie the contract reads that way IL
Is not likely that the board will in
slst on the penalty as the work has
been most thoroughly done so far.
The plasterers are at work this week
But there is still an immense amount
OF work to do before the building is
complete.
A number of the board members ara
lnslstent that the church be ready for
dedication Easter Sunday, but others
do not think that it is possible for the
contractor to complete it before the
first of May
AT meeting of the board Monday
evening steps were taken to prepare
Tor the dedication exercises.

balance to go into the general fund.
The mayor reported that the light con-
tract would expire in May. He said
that he had a proposition from the
light company reducing the price of
lights. However, there were many new
lights needed. The reduction in the
price, however, would give the city
the opportunity to get the new lights
needed.
