Perry sailed, and forced civilization on
the reluctant japanese, IS only about

islands rearing their heads just above

Hundreds of trees were planted, also
shrubbery, flowers and vegetables.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS

There was a largely attended and
enthusiastic meeting OF the various
committees of the Civic Improvement
League at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. E. Gibson, Monday night, TO
discuss matters relating to cleanup
day." which is to be celebrated next
Friday.
One of the objects of the meeting
was to hear reports from the chairmen
OF the district committees and to more
perfectly organize the city for the
work to be done. These reports were
most encouraging and show deep
interest on the part of the public in
the movement for a cleaner and more
beautiful Canon City.
As result of recent agitation by
those interested in the matter, a
Junior Civic improvement League is
in process of formation and 1t is ex-
pected to render valuable assistance
to the parent organization in promot-
ing civic pride. The indications are
that nearly everybody will lend hand
in the cleaning up crusade next FRI
day and that the community will be
better and more wholesome for 1t.
As tribute to Warden Cleghorn, to
whom is due the credit for supplying
the labor for the construction of the
Skyline Drive, the name of the Hog
back, from Soda Point to Wilson Creek
was changed to the Cleghorn range,
The name "Hogback" has long been
dstasteful TO many people and the
change to "CIeghorn Range" will be
hailed as a most acceptable substi-
tuition

BIGGEST SUNDAY EXCURSION
IN HISTORY OF ROAD

Sunday morning on the special ex-
cursion that left the district for Canon
City 312 persons were aboard. Eight
cars constituted the train that left this
city, but upon the return two sections
were made up. This Is the largest
excursion that has ever been run to
Canon City on Sunday. according to
District Passenger Agent Carruthers.
On next Sunday the railroads will run
an excursion to Colorado Springs and
will thereafter alternate these trips
upon the Sundays. The picnickers
gathered many flowers which they
brought back to Cripple Creek.

consequence of injuries received
while assisting In breaking a young
horse TO work week or ten days ago
The animal had been hitched up to a

but his hold was finally shaken loose
and he was run over, the horse step
ping on him, infiicting a painful injury
to his right leg.

is situated Take all the dandelions

If our own city council will work
for strict enforcement of all ordi-
nances now existing which will con-
tributed to making the city more
clean,y, healthful and attractive, give
us a marshal who accepts the office
because he wants to be a success in
it, as well as to draw the salary at

wants clean streets, alleys and ditch

beauty of the town because he helps

To Enjoy a Good Dinner.

There is no need OF any seIf-denying
diet list. no call for nasty disagree
able medicine. no list OF hard exer-
cises: simply a M-o-na stomach tablet
before each meal. and one before go-
ing to bed, and II will so strengthen
the stomach that good dinner will
give you pleasure and comfort with
out the least fear OF distress.
The best proof of the value of our
advice is the fact that Mitchell & Egg
bers give a positive guarantee apply
ing to two soc boxes OF Mi-o-na that
your money will be refunded unless
the remedy cures. A guarantee like
this must give you confidence In Mi

'City Beautiful" committee, which has
in charge the cleaning day movement
1t would be difficult matter to any
more than give you a general outline
OF the cleaning day movement, because
1t is such an extensive affair that COL

pose of boosting anything and every
thing of material value or civic i'm

members. The City Beautiful" COM

over by general chairman. A vice
from the big club membership is
drawn captains for each precinct and
