4 Mr.. Campbell says that approxi-
|mately sixty per cent of those who a
year ago used an eight party line are
now patrons Of a two party or a main
line, and that the service to subscrih-
ers is far more satisfactory in conse-
lquence of the change.
The company spent in Canon City
Hast year something like $4,000 in
Improvements, of which $4,000 was
for its new building and switch board
and 900 for cable extensions. 9th
er improvements are in contemplation,
|although for the present the energies
of the company will be devoted to
Iperfecting the system already estab-
lished, as its purpose is to give sub
Iscribers the very best service of which
lit Is capable.
On the 18th inst there were s15
Subscribers on the list OF the Canon
city exchange, fourteen of them hav-
ling been added since the beginning of
the current month. 1t is the deter
mination OF Mr.. Campbell and his as
lsociates to increase the number u
1900 before the close of the present
calendar year, and there is every pros
pect that they will succeed in their
ambition.
The Florence exchange, which has
for several years been under the sup
ervision of the manager here and con-
sidered as a part of the Canon City
system, has been cut off, and w. E.
Priest, formerly employed by the COM
pany here, placed in charge of the
business Florence is now regular
toll station on the line and subscribers
here cannot use the Florence line
without the payment of the prescribed
fee. Considerable dissatisfaction was
expressed by local subscribers when
the order cutting Florence off was is
sued, but they are beginning to realize
that the company has violated no part
of its contract and that they never
were really entitled TO the use of the

down last Friday. This additional
crossing has been greatly needed ever
since the building Of the new freight
house shut up. several months ago,

The new crossing is located Just at
the east end OF the depot platform
and is conveniently located to accom-
modate draynen and teamsters in
handling the freight to be unloaded

with Tacoma street but it does not
do so. 1t will be the outlet of the

A Cruise in a Canoe.

A late September or an early ,OctO-
ber vacation is often the best kind OF
all for the woman who works. it is
a good ending for hot Summer, and
good beginning for long Winter.
1t is cool enough for exercise, and not
too cool to spend every minute out
OF doors. The story Of a canoe trip
taken last Autumn, which appears
In the September number of the New
Idea WOman's Magazine tells how
two women, owning a canoe, who
had weeks time before them and
ifteen available dollars, covered a
course which included a canal, river
four lakes and trout stream. A
knapsack, a basket OF provisions and
cooking utensils We're arranged SO as
to make an even ballast; and All

more thrilling in prospect as the two
slid quietly from the bank. The ac.
count OF their adventures, and the
satisfactory results of a week spent
this way In the open, may help you
TO settle the question Of what to do
with week of recreation ahead of
you.

Eight Hours a Day fer Housewife s

tor in the September " Oman's Home

President Roosevelt's recent speech
to an assembly of farmers in Indiana
"1f the wives strike for eight hours
they will win; union composed OF
such powerful individual members,
and with a walking delegate SO dis.
tinguished, would overcome all oh
stacles. And what are the obstacles?
Why is 1t that the woman of the
house, especially the woman on the
farm, rises when the sun is ashamed
to rise, and works long after the sun
his sunk to rest? Is it the men? Arr
they such beasts that they require
more OF the women they promise to
love and cherish than they do of
themselves? In some cases yes; but
in most cases the question never rises
in the mans mind. He never saw
his mother do anything but work
until she died or went crazy, poor
thing; and his wife-why, OF course
there are always little things to do
around the house. OF course he has
more help in his own business when
it gets too big for him to handle, but
he wouldn't think of giving his wife
more help. Wouldn't he? Try and

"And there are few wives who,

sense-there are very few who would
be refused the help that the circums-
tInces required"

Northern and Southern RAILWAY

Douglas county now has a rail
way corporation of its own Ar
ticles of incorporation were filed
this week in the county auditor s
office for the Northern & Southern
railway. The incorporators are
A. L. Rogers, M. B. Howe, A E.
Case and l. w. Matthews. The
officers are A. L. Rogers, president;
M. b. Howe, vice president; A
+. Case, ry-treasurer; | w.

A glance at the map shows the
proposed route in Douglas county.
1t enters the county in the southeast
part Sc c. 35-14-27 and follows the
Columbia river up to the mouth OF
Moses coulee where it leaves the
river at sec 4-24 ~ when it strikes
up On the plateau and circles around
the head of the coulee touching ST..
Andrews and Jean and passing be-
tween Buckingham and Mansfield
coming south by St. German
and Lamoine down to sec. 24-23-25
east of Douglas where it iutersects
the main line to Waterville, which
makes complete circle around the
head of the coulee.
This would completely encircle
the great wheat belt of northern
Douglas county and give the need
ed relief to the farmers in the way
OF transportation. A north and
south road is the natural outlet 20

New Weed Law Applies to Town

COuncilmen Christ Kruse has his
crew OF men at work cutting the

Oughly dry they are burned A
large part OF the streets have been
cleaned. This work was ordered
done by the council at it's last meet

clear the streets of these noxious
weeds. The town having done it's
part, the property owners should
now do theirs.
The new weed law passed by the
last legislature provides that in cities
and towns it shall be the duty OF the
marshal or street commissioner to
give notice to the owner or occupier
OF land whereOn any nOXiOus weeds

quiring him to cause the same to be
cut down within ten days after serv-
