telegraphers strike has largely in
creased the telephone business, par
ucuiarly on all long distance toll

THINK COLORADO Is BEST
~g PLACE TO LIVE

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. T. Wood and fam
lily came home Saturday afternoon
from California where they have been
for the last two months. They spent
most Of the time in Los Angeles and
vicinity and saw nearly everything
that was worth seeing in that section
OF the state. While they concede that
the Pacific coast has a delightful eli
mate and that Los Angeles has many
attractions they think that Canon City
and the Arkansas valley is hard to
beat and that southern California with
all Of its boasted advantages cannot
surpass It as a place OF residence.
