SHALL SOUTH CANON
BE ANNEXED TO CANON

| At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil a committee representing the
South Canon village board, was pres
ent and asked that a committee be
appointed to confer with 1t in an en-
deavor to find a basis for the consoli-
dation of the two municipalities The
proposition wa sacceded to and Mayor
Coulter named Aldermen L. H. Ban
croft, q. 8. Okey and ]. N. Wright to
take part in the proposed conference.
The South Canon committee is COM
posed of Aldermen W. A. Boyce, r. B.
Thompson and F. B. Quinlan, and
meeting of the two committees was
held on September and the matter OF
consolidation thoroughly discussed.
although no definite conclusion was
has been pretty exhaustively can
vassed by the committees, and upon
the data which they have obtained will
be predicated the reports to be made
at the next meeting of their respective
municipal bodies.
1t is, of course, impossible to say
what the tenor of those reports will
be, but it is highly probable that such
step will not be very strongly urged
by the committee on this side of the
river, unless some modification Is
made in the proposition of South Can
on.
The assessment rolls for 1905 show
that the assessed valuation Of prop
erty within the corporation limit Of
South Canon was at that time only
5000, 900, whereas in Canon City it was
81 800 900. or six and one-half times
as much South Canon is asking to
come in with two wards, giving it four
aldermen, or one third the number
composing the enlarged body.
That this would be unfair to prop
erty owners on this side needs no ar
gument The representation on that
basis would be unsatisfactory and its
agitation will defeat the movement
looking to annexation. There is said
to be considerable opposition on both
sides of the river to the proposed con-
solidation and nothing is likely to be
accomplished in that direction this
year II. reports are correct.
Last year the tax levy in Canon City
for all purposes was 81 mills on the
dollar. In South Canon it was SO
mills on the dollar. The tax for mu-
nicipal purposes in the former was
25 mills. In the latter it was Is mills.
South Canon has no waterworks, no
sidewalks, no police protection. and
would gain infinitely more by the con-
solidation than the people on this side
of the river.

MOST DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORM
THAT EVER VISITED CANON CITY
Damage Park Fuitere
Dolars-Lincon ark Escapes.

A hail storm of exceptional severity
swept over a considerable part of the
city and its environs shortly after six
o'clock Tuesday evening, doing great
damage to orchards, gardens and veg
citation generally. The hail was pre-
ceded by high wind and terrific rain
fall, in consequence of which the
streets were flooded to a depth of sew
eral inches in the lower part of the
town, the sewers and surface bitches
being unable to carry off the water as
fast as it fell.
The storm was somewhat erratic in
its course and the damage was confin-
ed to comparatively small area;
South Canon, Lincoln Park and por-
tions of the territory on the north
side of the river escaping it's fury.
The greatest loss seems to have oc-
CURED along Cottonwood, Orchard,
Greydene, Diamond, Del Rey and Ray
mold avenues, extending from the
northern limits of the city to the river
and eastward to Four-Mile
Apples, peaches, plums and other
fruits were knocked from the trees or
bruised in such a way as to detract
very largely from their market value
Vegetable and flower gardens were in
many cases ruined, their products be-
ing literally beaten into the ground by
the force and character of the precipi-
tation.
The storm passed over Orchard and
Garden Parks and caused but little
injury in Park Center, the greatest
havoc apparently having been wrought
in strip of territory on the north side
of the river, perhaps half a mile wide,
extending from the western boundary
of the city to Four-Mile and the coun-
try beyond. 1t is impossible to even
approximate the damage to the fruit
crop, but it will be many thousands of
dollars
In some sections of the city the earth
was covered with hail stones to the
depth of several inches. The stones
we're spherical in shape and varied in
size from buckshot to irregular chunks
of ice an inch and half in diameter.
So severe was the storm that several
teams tied in the streets broke loose
and ran away, demolishing several We
hicles. Umbrellas were torn to pieces
in the hands of pedestrians and unpro-
tected stock and fowls of all kind suf-
fered greatly.
Many windows and skylights were
broken, the damage on this account
alone along Main street amounting to
several hundred dollars
The storm originated on the south
ern slope of Pixies Peak and swept
across the intervening country with
the speed of race horse. 1t was the
worst of its kind known here in many
years and it is hoped it will be long
time before the community is called
upon to experience another of equal
severity

ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS

Only a few days intervene till the
opening of the Fremont County Fair
and the public should at once proceed
to get busy and assist the officers of
the Association and the committees in

for the exhibition is very fattering.

people in all parts of the county that
II can be made as good as II ought to

one OF the most comprehensive in the

Secretary Rowland is confident that

the best in the history OF the Associa-
most notable exhibition of the kind in
the southern part of the state, next to
the state fair at Pueblo. and to that
end is endeavoring TO enlist the help

wealth of the county. Whatever you
may have that will attract attention

The members of the different depart

So it will be with the races, manufac-

combining to produce fair of unusual

The amusement committee has for

there will not be a dull minute during

GOOD READING MATrnh

The value of lot Of good readirg
matter in the farm home where there
are young folks, and even where there
are non, is almost impossible Of proper
appreciation. Altogether too many
homes are filed up with literary trash
selected because it is cheap. II one can
find time for just ten minutes each day
and every day to come in touch with
the great minds and the best thought
Of the world, it exercises most potent
and broadening influence; It does more
than this, for It will surely create an
appetite for the best things In liter
ary way, and an appetite for good
things in reading is just as mandatory
and exacting as depraved appetite
for the bad things. There are but few
people, we care not what may be their
vocation, who could not If they would
spare few minutes each day for this
elevating work. One Of the great privi-
leges Of living IN the twentieth century
lies in the easy access to all the best
thought Of the master minds Of the
past. Any farmer with children in his
home who are possibly limited as to
educational advantages may easily
make this educational loss good by
seeing that his home is literally sup
piled with good reading matter-books,
magazines and newspapers and it is
just as much a duty to see that this IL
done as it is to properly feed his stock
and harvest his crops. We have been
In many farm home where the read
Ing matter included only a mail order
shoddy story paper. local paper and
half dozen cheap subscription books
Of doubtful value. To try to raise a
boy or girl on such stuff is like trying
to raise calf on sour separator milk.

We had been in considerable doubt
as to whom should be supported for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. The doubt is all removed.
If there is anything that northern
Minnesota is interested in, it is state
development. With our vast tracts
of fertile lands lying close to markets
and unoccupied it is exasperating to
see people of other states going thru
to Canada and residents of our own
state leaving and settling on poorer
land, farther from market. Not only
is it ks perating but this exodus of
our people is a matter OF vital i'm
portance. 1t is all caused by the adj
vertising of the Canadian govern
ment and could be stopped if our
state would take the means to bring
to the attention Of the people the
better opportunities offered here.
One of the official mouthpieces of
jacobson objects to this advertising
because of the increase in taxation
it would cause. An appropriation OF
$780, 900, some one has figured out,
would increase the taxes on $4,000
farm the enormous sum of four cents!
That sum would break every taxpay-
er III the state! But, there is an
other side to it. Several thousand
dollars invested in advertising, last
year, increased the amount received
from tie sale of state lands 800, 600.
Add this to the fact that every one
of the new settlers brought in be-
cause of it, increased the value Of
every farm near it as well as the
profits of the local merchants, and
the bugaboo of increased taxes
vanishes. With but tWoN candidates
with any chance of the nomination,
one afraid to deyeolp the state be-
cause it may cost something and the
other lending all his energies, now
and heretofore, to deveolp and in
crease its wealth, our choice is made.
We are in favor of the nomination
of Hon. A. u. Cole.
Enterprise.
