from a short pleasure trip to the Ed.

Old Oak ranch, about six miles above

Ed. Elleridge and son conduct the
ranch and besides owning fine bunch
of cattle they devote considerable
time to farming. They have one
of the best truck farms in the coun-
try. While there, Fallon and the
Elleridges exploited a cave and be-

George Burkner, one of the old
time fixtures at Metcalf, and who has
filed the position of constable of
that precinct continually during the
past five or six years, passed through
Clifton this week on his way to the
coast. On account of poor health,
George has been forced to leave this
country and accordingly has arranged
his business affairs so he can remain
indefinitely. After spending some
time in California, he will go to Mex
leo, where he will engage in mining
or most anything to make living.
He is good fellow and his many
friends in this section wish him sue

dressed for Wright He said it was
cut to the bone, and was evidently
made by narrow bladed knife.
Clarence Wright was sworn and said
that Pierce came into the stable where
ne was at work and asked for Henry
Smith. and proceeded to pick quar-

fully. He said that for the first time
in the history OF Bridgeton, an ordi.
nance had been passed over the veto of
the Mayor. From that point all sub
sequent action of Council was along
new lines.
Ihere were three things to do as the
matter now stands. First, Council
might do nothing. Council could saw
to John I. Dyer that it had given the
contract to him and wanted him to
have it. To Mr.. Dyer it might be
said, get the contract. That might
mean that Mr, Dyer could mandam us
Council and the Mayor.
Another thing Council might do
would meet the suggestion of the
Mayor regarding the advertising, and
re-advertise for bids, conforming with
the objections of the Mayor.
Another thing Council might do
would be. by proper resolution, 60 re-
solnd the action OF Council directing
the Mayor to sign the contract and
then Council might authorize the
chairman of the streets and sidewalks
committee to execute the contract
upon behalf of the city. The Solicitor
held that municipal corporation was
but corporation after all, and such
corporation could authorize an officer
of 1t to perform such service.
MIR. L. Fl. Woodruff then promptly
moved that Council rescind Its former
action, and direct the chairman of rbe
street and sidewalk committee to exc
cute the contract.
Olty Solicitor McAllister interposed
saying that this action should be taken
by resolution. Anticipating the mat.
ter he had resolutions drawn carving
out each of his opinions and was ready
to submit any or all of these il Coun-
Gil would indicate what action il
meant to pursue.
Mr.. Woodruff then introduced a
resolution resembling the action to
direct the Mayor to execute the con-
tract. The resolution was adopted by
the following vote:
Yeas-Dan,els. Craig, Messick, T..
H Woodruff. Marks, McGalliard-6.
Nays-W. F. Woodruff, Jones, Gar.
wood, Moore, Qnick-5.
Mr.. Woodruff then offered a resolu.
tion directing the chairman of the
streets and sidewalks committee to
make the contract with John T. DYER.
Some opinions of she Solicitor were
asked by Mr.. MoGalliard, which were
given. Then Mr.. McGalliard said he
wanted to do the right thing. If the
city was liable under the action thus
far taken he was willing to vote for
the resolution, otherwise he though ht
the contractor might get his contract
if he could.
Mr.. Garwood expressed the same
sentiment. He was in favor of the
paving enterprise. but he wanted the
refJy to get the best 1t could.
Nj. Quick said he was in favor of
lettines the whole matter lie over for
a time. He did not propose to vote for
paving at 1918 per square yard, if
Camden could get as good or better,
for $l.91 and less. II the contractor
could get the contract lei, him get it.
Otherwise let the city stand out for
the best possible contract in Che inter-
est of the taxpayers.
Mr.. Woodruff's resolution was lost
by the following vote.

GOOD TRAIN SERVICE
FOR CANON CITY

The transition from the old-time
method OF travel by wagon TO modern
transportation by rail is one Of the
wonders of the age. An excellent IL
lustration OF this was shown in the ex-
perience of Canon City man few
days ago. He left here on the night
train of the 25th inst, and in the early
morning he was in Denver. where he
witnessed big fire, before daylight,
an hour or so previous to its an
nouncement by the newspapers. He
transacted considerable business in
the city and consulted several people

Union Station in time to board Denver

the 100000 bonus for the Canon City

them coming from the extreme eastern

hope that the enterprise will go
through and that Canon City will de-
rive big benefit from it.
The bonus is growing slowly, but
the committee would like to see lit

BIG BUSINESS AT
CANON P0ST0FFICE

Monday was a record breaker at
of its transactions, SURPRISING In some
particulars the high water mark Of the
recent holiday rush. In the money
order department the clerks were
kept especially busy and the amount
of business handled was unprece-
dented. During the day one hundred
and twenty domestic and twelve for
eign orders were cashed, the amount
of money paid out on that account
being considerably in excess of one
thousand dollars. The calendar year
just gone has been an exceptionally
prosperous one In the local postoffice
and it has made gain equalled by
few towns In the state. AS an index
to the financial condition OF COM
munity there is no business barometer
more reliable than the postofilce.
According to figures furnished the
Daily Record eight hundred and sew
enty packages and letters were reg

The membership of the Baptist
church are we'll pleased that Rev.
LaRue at present pastor of the
church of the same denomination at
Lake City has accepted the call to
come to Denison. He will not arrive
until after November LIST and in the
meantime there will probably be no
regular preaching services at the
church. Rev LaRue comes with a
reputation for 3.dolng things and
it is probable that he will endeavor
to be aggressive and active in the
community.
We hope the membership will unite
in making his p%astorate a most sue
cessful one. There is need for a
strong spiritual Baptist church. for it
is ip position to WELD a great inf1u-
ence for good in this community.
