SHOULD THE CITY SELL
COTTONWOOD WATER RIGHTS

There is a movement on foot to have
the City sell its Cottonw wood creek
water rights. They would sell readily
and at a profit, but would 1t be wise
to sell them now? The fact that they
would sell so readily at profit is
some proof that they are a good thing

they cover water so good for domestic

That would suit those who own other
propositions. 1t would Increase their

UNUSUAL NUMBER OF
PEOPLE HERE FOR WINTER

That Canon City is entertaining
more visitors from the Eastern States
this winter than usual is apparent to
anybody that will take the trouble to
inform himself in relation to condi-
tons. While most of these people
have come here for the benefit of their
health, others have been actuated by
no other desire than that of escaping
the rigorous weather which prevails
in most of the northern section of the
country at this season of the year.
AS rule these visitors have found
much to admire in Colorado, particu-
larly in it's climate, and many OF them
will establish their homes here. A
gentleman remarked who lives on Lin
coin Park, in the hearing of the writer
a day or two ago, that there never
was SO great a demand for property
in that suburb as now, and that 1t
was getting extremely difficult to rent
desirable place over there at any
price.
IF ] had twenty-five ranches on
Lincoln Park he said, 81 could rent
every one of them within the next
thirty days on terms highly favorable
to myself"
The time is not very remote when
people from the east will throng Can
on City during the winter months and
will enjoy their experiences here quite
as much as they would in Florida or
California. The weather is in many
respects more agreeable here from
October till April than it is in lower
1atitudes, especially in the clearness
and brightness of the atmosphere.
The advantages of the Upper Arkan-
sas valley as a place to spend the
winter will some day be properly ap-
preciated.

MAKES THE GRINDING EASY.
Bicycle Power" Does Away with a
 Good Deal of Labor.

The old adage that the head should save the heels has been transformed by the Mahern brothers, Frank and Fred, employed at a Dedham (Mass.) grocery, so that the legs are made to save the arms, and that in a most unique manner.
 1t is the method of running coffee mill by leg power on a bicycle instead of by arm power. One of the disagree able features of the grocery business has been the arm method of grinding coffee.
 Now this is just where the quick wit of Frank Mahern came in. A devotee of the wheel and knowing that it is much easier to pedal than to strain with the arms, he conceived the idea that transfer of the strain from arms to legs would be much easier and quicker.
 The question was one of applying was done by removing the forward wheel of tandem and fastening the bicycle in such a way that the rear wheel was directly opposite one of the wheels of the coffee mill, which was fitted with belt wheel
 The tire was removed from the bicy- cle wheel and a belt put on, running from the wheel to the belt wheel on the coffee mill.
 The arrangement was then com plete, and when there is coffee to be ground it is thrown into the grinder, the bicycle is mounted and the rider takes a practice spin and at the same time grinds the coffee.

majority because it is contrary to his views, and thus justities his action in violating the law instead of working for its repeal if it is bad
 Perhaps one of the most startling examples of disobedience to the law in this country is the game often played by the high financier. A recent session of the New York Stock Exchange was marked by panic similar to those of former days. It may have been the result of the recent fine imposed by Judge Landis on the Standard Oil Co. Who will pay the fine? Will it be Standard Oil or will Standard Oil squeeze the railroads? Then again if Standard Oil as shipper is guilty of violating the anti-rebate law are not the railroads as carriers violators of the same law and consequently guilty, and how long will it be before some Judge Landis will land on them in the same old way? The probability of such a thing is enough to induce the wise manipulator to squeeze the small stock holder and scoop in the stakes, and the little fellow for whom the high fnan-' cier is probably acting as trustee will never know the cause, perhaps. The whole trouble comes from disobedience to the law. Congress passed law fix ing heavy penalties on shipper and car riers who would give or take rebates, but the railroads and trusts threw the law in the waste basket. The average business man would call it madness, but not so with the man who has been ac- customed to violate the law Such reckless disobedience may cause thou sands of innocent men to suffer. The pity is that the violator could not be landed in the penitentiary before he has time to juggle with the stock mark cts or make amends for his financial loss by preying upon the effects of others.
 The biggest lesson that We have to learn as citizens is to obey the law obey it from childhood to the grave.

DIS0BEDjENCE OF TIE LEW.

It would be difficult indeed to figure out just how many evils in the social and commercial life of the nation are due to disobedience to law. It is car- tain, however, that the number far ex- ceeds the estimate of the ordinary student of cause and effect. From our mothers knee we have been assured that disobedience to the laws of nature Is sure of punishment. The rule ap plies equally as we'll to the civil or the moral law, the only difference being that the evil effects of disobedience are not so likely to be felt by the one in- fringing on the civil or moral law as the one disobeying a natural law, but some one will feel the result.
 Our state and national governments are in a continuous whir often result
 ing in loss of property and life itself as the result of effort to enact new laws laws to make people do what other laws do not make them do, a condition due to disobedience to the law in the main. Vast business concerns are built up on conditions which are recognized by the law, but which are fraught with ele- ments of social demoralization and de- cay, and when the public finally recog- nlzes their demoralizing influences and seeks to correct them, the outlaw is at once in evidence The spirit of diso- bedlence among us, the notion that it IS not necessary to obey the law, the erroneous idea that the law itself is against our individual interests and our rights and that it ought to be disobeyed. the reckless unconcern and feeling that we have accomplished something when NC iietNC bloOJCgCu tIe law WlIHOuJ De- ing detected, is not only a dangerous element in our national life. but one difficult, indeed to control The poor fellow who buys quart of concen- trated lye' on the sly when he knows it was sold to him contrary to law thinks he is infinitely smarter than his neigh Dor who does not possess the requisite qualifications (asde from coin) for pur- chasing this particular article in given territory.
