ages distinctly Its own. and is bet

SHOULD REFLECT DIR.
MOORE CITY TREASURER

There is no more widely known or
more highly respected candidate for
municipal office in Canon City this
spring than D. T. b. Moore, who is a
candidate for reelection to the posi-
tion of city treasurer at the hands of
the anti-license voters of the COM
munfty. DIR. Moore is the present in
cumbent of the office he seeks and is
thoroughly familiar with the finances
of the city, having been in charge OF
its funds during the last two years.
He has resided here for a long time
and commands the confidence and
esteem of an extended acquaintance,
many OF whom will vote for him des-
pite difference of opinion upon mat
ters of municipal politics.
Believing the saloon to be an evil
Dr. Moore has fought 1t as an enemy
of the home, which is the unit Of
society and of civilization. He con-
cedes the right of the people to differ
with him upon the license question
but is himself unalterably opposed to
the liquor traffic, which is physically

GOOD SHOWING MADE
FOR TWO YEARS

Canon City has been a Dry town
two years.
Two years is not a long time to
change the whole system on the drink
question and drive out the vicious
dive keepers who contend that they
are greater than the law and the peo-
pie.
But the law is being effectually en-
forced at the present time and not a
single dive is running in the city.
1t is a remarkable record for the
mayor. the council and the marshal,
and the officers deserve commenda-
ton
Joe Walton has been heavily fined,
the fines have been collected and the
charters have been taken away from
the bogus clubs.
All this shows that the laws can be
enforced and that Canon City can be
kept dry town il the Reform party
is continued In power.

most admirable. eliciting for its par

Hadn't We better let well enough"
alone?
Isn't the town good enough dry?
AS a matter of fact why should any
body kick on the town as it now is?
Canon City is as dry as any dry
town We know OF. No open dives are
run and the laws seem to be pretty
rigidIy enforced.
And the town is prosperous and
halfway on the verge OF boom The
dry people are thoroughly satisfied,
and they comprise from 55 to 65 per
cent of the community.
On the otner hand why should the
Vets have much kick coming?
ASK most any advocate of the Tax
payers ticket and he will tell you that
he never suffers for drink. that he
gets one whenever he wants 1t, and
that SO far as he is concerned he can
see no difference between a Wet and
a Dry town.
Then read the brewers and disul-
lers campaign literature and you will
be told that more beer and whisky
are consumed in a Dry town than in
one that regulates" the trade by
licensing saloons.
So 1t looks like the man who wants
an occasional drink and the represen-

Canon City apples will go to a
farther market the coming season
than ever before. Ray Case of East
Lincoln Park already has an order
for apples to go to the interior Of
Korea into one of the mining camps.
A. e. Deerdorff, mining engfneefs
and boyhood friend of Mr.. Case, has
seen some pictures of Canon apples,
and read more about them in the
Souvenir Record. He writes that he
has been in Korea for six years and
the first apples he had seen or tasted
in that time were a few that came in
this last season from Japan, and they
were badly frozen.
The trouble to get fruit from this
country to Korea is that 1t is eaten
long before it reaches the far East
It is Mr.. Deerdorff's plan to go down
to Seoul and get intimately acquaint-
ed with the captain of some vessel in
the Pacific trade and then have the
fruit sent in care of this captain. In
this way he hopes to get the shipment
If his plan succeeds, Mr.. Case is
assured of a large order as there are
number of apple hungry American
miners engaged with the same COM
pany with which Mr.. Deerdorff IL

CONTINUE IRRIGATION
EXPERIMENTS HERE

r. w. Roeding, who has charge OF
all OF the experimental work for the
Department of Agriculture west of
the Missouri river, has been here for
some time past arranging for a con-
tinuation of the investigation inaug-
urated here last year for the purpose
of collecting data relating to the ef-
feet of irrigating upon fruit growing.
Under the direction OF Mr.. Roeding a
series of highly interesting expert
ments in the various modes of irriga-
ton were conducted on the fruit
ranch of r. w. Rowland on Lincoln
Park and the results transmitted to
Washington to be used by the govern
ment in the encouragement Of ho6-
culture in the West.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Rowland whereby the tract OF
land used by the department of agri-
culture last year will remain under
the control of the government for
another twelve months in order that
the experiments in irrigation may be
continued.
Mr.. Reoding left at noon today for
Wichita Falls, Texas, where an ex-
perimental station has been estab-
lished similar to the one on Lincoln
Park.

Now about the only people who do
not belong to the above classes are
those who want to retail the stun in
Canon. those who want TO work for
the saloon keepers and those who
have buildings and other things TO
sell or rent To the saloon keepers.
Abe the interests of this last small
class worth the row and fight we
have every two years?
We think not
So why not cut out the fight and
let well enough alone.
Ii can be done by every liberal
minded Taxpayer voting this year for
the Reform ticket
Every advocate of no license is
perfectl, satisfied with present con-
ditjoss and probably ninety par csnt
OF the advocates of the license sys-
tenn will confess that they get every
thing they want at the present time.
So isn't 1t pretty nervy of these
few people with self interest at
stake to force this row on Us every
two years?
Hadn't We better let well enough

busy building up the town. getting
good water, building good streets,
and doing those things that will bring
material prosperity?

the mandolin club is the best sent out
by the university for number of
years. superior to most college or
eenizations of the kind that have Wis
tied this city in long time.

was for the purpose OF raising fund

agozpy the high school to facilitate
the study of biology, an object which
it accomplished according to a state
ment made by Prof. Erwin.
The only representative Canon had
in the glee and mandolin clubs was
Archie Heaton, but 1t is possible that
he now regards himself a resident Of
Boulder, rather than of this city. It
was announced that two more benefit
entertainments would be given by the
high school before the vacation seas
on, one of them to be an illustrated
lecture by Prof. Erwin on the .1Yel-

with the itinerary published few
