Warden Cleghorn went to Denver
on busiaess on Tuesday. Mr.. Cleg-
horn has received no intimation from
Gov Buchtei as to the time when any
of the state appointments will be made
other than that contained In the pub

the governor is In no hurry In the
matter. The warden's term does not
expire till April. and 1t is possible
that the penitentIary appointments
will not be made for six weeks or two
months yet. Mr.. Cleghorn is about

CANON MILLS SOLD
TO S. s. HARTZELL

For some weeks it has been known
among the merchants that Mr.. s. S.
Hartzell of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, has
been considering the purchase of the
stock and business of the Canon City
Milling company. After looking over
the field thoroughly, Mr.. Hartzell has
decided to consummate deal with the
company and has bought the business,
paying cash in full for it.
Mr. Hartzell feels that there is a
splendid opening in this line of busi-
ness in this vicinity, and especially 80
since the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is forcing the railroads to
treat all shippers equally and fairly.
Mr.. Hartzell is man of large ex-
perience in this particular line of bus
mess, having owned and operated the
mill in his old home town. He also
owned and operated the electric light
plant. Both of these businesses he
recently sold out for cash. We find
that he is a man of the most excellent
reputation, and of ample means to
take care of any business that he may
undertake. We hope the Canon City
merchants and the people generally
will feel disposed to treat Mr.. Hart
zell with the consideration to which
he is entitled. This milling business
is a credit to the town. During the
year they handle large amount of
stock and pay out considerable money
in the shape of pay roll and other ex-
penses 1t is one of the businesses
that go to make up the prosperity of
our community, and is certainly en-
titled to local support.
Mr.. Hartzell returned from Denver
Monday night, where he has made two
trips since coming to Canon City, for
the purpose of consulting the Denver
and Rio Grande and the Santa Fe
railroad officials with a view of OBJ
tanning better freight rates to Canon
City, as he believes what will benefit
himself will be equally advantageous
to the people of the community.

Brought to Time.

The Santa Fe railroad was made
to sit up and take notice last week
by the seizure of two of their engines
by Sheriff Thomas, ss mentioned in
last weeks Register, and were glad
to quickly arrange a compromise by
which they paid s2s,s9S.sO into the
county treasury. They had previous
ly been very Indifferent on the SUBJ
jeot, refusing to answer several let
tors from Prowers county's attorney,
Judge Northcutt, but County Tress-
urer Adkins and the county commits
sioners on his advice had quietly Sc
sured competent men to handle and
take care of the engines when cap
tursd and the blow came just after
their last refusal to answer an insist
snt letter from Judge Northcutt. A
couple of engines under present con-
ditions can earn more than the
amount of the taxes in few days
on the Santa Fs, and the officials
were glad to get into oommunica-

der any other received by the build
ing committee, and represents the
amount required to complete fhe ed
ifice from where it now stands. The
basement work already done has
cost about 1000, and the mem or
ial windows to be put in will cost
about $1,000 more, making the total
cost of the building about $l4, 300.
1t is estimated that it will require
about $I700 for seats and furnish
ings, bringing the total cost up to
about $4,000. The church when
completed will be the finest in the
valley east of Pueblo, and will be an
ornament and source Of pride to our
people. 1t will have seating ca
pscity of between 400 and 500 in
cluding the galleries. The contract
ors are ready to go ahead with the
work just as soon as they can get the
materials on the ground but in the
present condition of the Santa Fe
railroad that is not an easy problem
to estimate The building will be
constructed Of cement blocks up to
the range line and above that of Pu-
eblo pressed brick, and will be a
very imposing structure.

prowers county Growing.

Surveys are now being made with
view of extending the Lamar ca
nal on to its old time terminus at
Butte creek, and possibly on to the
state line. This will add from 10,-
600 to 10000 acres to the irrigated
area Of the county on the south of
the river, and cause another large
addition to our population and as
sessed valuation.
The greatest benefit will be to the
town of Granada, and it will prob
ably cause the building of sugar
factory there in the near future, ss
the ditch and large portion of the
lands under it are now owned by the
American Beet Sugar Co. The nat
ural conditions have made it harder
to construct canals for irrigating
purposes on the south side Of the
Arkansas river in Prowers county
than ON the north side, but it now
looks as if the great enhancement Of
values IN irrigated lands ;will make it
possible to bring almost as wide a
strip of country on the south side
under cultivation as has heretofore
been ON the north of the river.
The Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet
& Irrigated Land Co., have again
thrown open their lands in Prowsrs
county east Of Horse creek, and are
locating quite number of new COM
ers there, and this also means con-
siderable increase to our farming
lands. These lands had been aban-
doned during years when the condi-
tions of the canal made water often
scarce, but now with the big reser-
voirs full and the excellent condi-
ton of the canal it will be easy to
deliver water clear to the state line.
The wave Of Campbell farmers
coming west for the past two years
has filed up western Kansas and is
beginning to slop over into Prowers
county along the state line in in
creasing force, and this bids fair to
soon establish quite large farming
population in the county outside OF
irrigation. There is every indica-
tion that great as has been the i'm
promement in Prowers county the
past year and large as the increase
has been in population, both will be
small when compared with what le
to come in 1907.

ton with Judge Northcuttt at once,
and arranged compromise by which
they were to pay their taxes under
protest and bring suit themselves
to test the matter. The engines
were released, and q large slice Of
the county's sonual interest charge
will be saved. There were several
trims in at the time the seizure was
made, and as an example of the
wonderful ability to kill time now
employed on the line, it is said that
the engines seized by the Sheriff,
with fires drawn and waiting for a
compromise to be arranged by the
attorneys, were the first ones that
got out Of town.
