Following the policy of putting
only Americans on guard, it is
understood that orders have been
issued forbidding the employment
OF foreigners ON all military works
and at naval stations. A similar
order was issued some time ago
relating to the employment of
foreigners on the ships of the
navy. This resulted in the dis
charge of large number of Jap
anese and Chinese who had
shipped as stewards and in other
minor capacities. ~.
The naval officers were rather
sorry to let them go, because Of
their efficiency, bnt it was found
that the japanese especially were
using much of their spare time in
making careful examination Of
she ships and guns and learning a
lot about machinery, &C., which
1t was not supposed a mere cook
or Ca bin boy would care TO know.
The policy of depriving for
eigners Of this source Of informa-
ton has now been extended to
the works on American fortica-
tions, and the news comes from
Manila that number of Japaeese
who have been Employed on the
Qualifications and also at the Dion
Gapo and Cavitc naval stations
have been discharged. -Ex.

BEAVERS BECOME A
NUISANCE AND ARE TRAPPED

Beavers of late have become such a
nuisance in the bitches about the city
that it has become necessary to apply
to the state authorities for a permit
to trap the big amphibians and several
of them have been killed during the
last few weeks under special warrant
from the office of Game and Fish Com
missioner Farr.
The game law of Colorado says that
where beavers are destructive. or
threaten the security OF property OF
any kind. they may be trapped upon
obtaining the requisite authority. but
not otherwise SO troublesome had
they become in the bitches of the
Colorado Light and Power company
and the Canon City Milling company
that permission was secured to get rid
of them and Henry Miller was empow-
cred to undertake the Job.
Mr.. Miller Is an adept trapper and
hesitates at nothing in that line from
mink to grizzly bear. He soon
had his traps set and a few days later
was rewarded with a splendid speci-
men of the castor canadensis. the fur
OF which is quite valuable. Three or
four OF them were caught altogether
near the head OF the Power company's
ditch, one OF which was on exhibition
at the Star meat market on Thursday,
but was subsequently sent to tax
idermist in Colorado Springs to be
mounted.
Recently beavers attempted to cut
down tree at the rear of the Canon
City mill. only short distance from
the water wheel used in running the
machinery. 1t is only within the last
two or three years that beavers have
established their colonies so close to
Canon City.

TO PUEBLO FOR BURIAL

Coroner WhitmOre. who was called
to Adobe Thursday afternoon to in
quire into the death of Geuvano Fla
dino, the Italian who was killed there
about II O'Clock the previous morning
by being run into by Denver and Rio
Grande locomotive No. 537. reports
that the body of the unfortunate man
was not mutilated. and. with the excep-
ton of the left arm, which was broken
in two places, the injuries were wholly
internal.
An investigation of the matter con-
vinced Mr.. Whitmore that the killing
was purely accidental and that for
NAL inquest was not necessary. The
deceased was forty four years OF age
and leaves wife and two children,
a son and a daughter. He had resided
for number OF years in Pueblo and
had only recently removed to Adobe.
whittier he had been sent by the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company by which

DOUGHTY DAVE HOUSTON
FELLED THE PEELED POLE

Weak women Scurried indoors and
strong men looked around for their
guns when City Marshal Dave Houston
and a bevy of municipal attaches came
down Main street this morning with
big rope carried among them. Visions
Of violence, of hopeless body swung in
midair and of barking bullets came to
spectators, but the committee soon put
the fears to rest.
Their official work was to officially
lasso a street railway pole which has
been knawed out of its usefulness. 1t
stands on the north side Of Main street
Horses have been hitchGd to it while
it has been patiently waiting for wires.
One tasted the red paint and liked 1t.
Another followed the example, and the
chewing continued until the entire
sirth of the timber was gone. So the
city dads thought it better be removed
and this morning it came down with
mighty crash.

COLORADO CANNING co.
DOING 4 BIG BUSINESS

Comparatively few people In Canon
City realize what big establishment
the plant of the Colorado Canning Co,
at the foot of Eighth street Is, or the
volume of its commercial Transactions.
1t is known in a general way to be a
busy place during the fruit and vege-
table growing seasons. but the extent
of its stores and marketable product Is
not SO well understood. Some idea of
its business may be gained from the
statement that during the month Of
November twenty-six car loads of can
ned goods were shipped to the south
ern and eastern points, the greater
number of them to Texas and con-
tiguous states. The company's goods
are the equal Of any in the country
and are making an enviable reputation
for themselves in spite Of the COM
petition they have to meet with from
other well known brands. The COM
pany does business of something like
a quarter of million dollars a year.

MORE MONEY BEING SPENT.

Figures CLEANED from the business

fewer money orders have been issued

has been a material increase in the
number Of registered packages origin

banks and express offices Indicate
that the number of drafts and express

Wells Fargo and Globe Express COM

showing an increase over previous
