FRUIT BUDS NOT HURT FROM
EFFECTS OF THE WINTER

Reports have found their way to the
Denver papers from the Arkansas val
ley that the fruit buds in the Canon
City district have been injured by the
frost during the past winter, state
ments that are without foundation In
fact Never have the orchards been
in better condition than they are at
present and the indications are favor
able for a big fruit crop again this
year. OF course, it is possible that
the fruit may be injured from the
cold yet this winter, although the
chances are against it. Unless the
unexpected happens Fremont county
horticulturists have prosperous year
ahead of them. The only danger now
menacing the fruit crop is a contin-
uance of the warm weather we are
having, which, If it lasts long enough.
might cause the buds to develop too
rapidly, resulting in their being killed
by the frosts of March and April

PRESBYTERlAnS MAY
BUILD 4 PARSONAGE

The trustees of the First Presby-
terian church recently mailed a cir
cular letter to members of the con-
rregation asking for an expression of
opinion in relation TO the advisability
of erecting a parsonage on the pro-
Seventh street and Greenwood avenue.
The church owns two lots on the cor
ner alluded to and 1t has been the am
bition of a considerable part OF its
members for several years to build
thereon home for the pastor of the
congregation. A large number of res
ponses have been received to the let
ters sent out by the trustees last
week, most of them favorable to the
enterprise, and it is probable that
steps will be taken within the next
few months that will eventuate in a
handsome parsonage on the site re-
ferred to, which is Immediately back
of the church.
II is the desire of the trustees of the
church TO erect building in keeping
with the wealth. and importance of
the congregation and they hope to
raise at least seven or eight thousand
dollars for the purpose. 1t is under
stood that some very generous offers
have been made TO the fund for the
proposed parsonage. and it is believed
that whent the proper time comes
there will be no lack of money to
carry out the plans of the trustees.
The contemplated parsonage is badly
needed and its erection should receive
bers OF the congregation.

! in New York, and two whose homes
are in Denver. They have the utmost
confidence in the future of the pro-
perty and are developing 1t in a way
that will enable them to get the best
reached. The Tobequatche, which IL

and silver are found in the ore bear
ing vein. which Is something like six
teen feet In width.
Under Mr.. knights supervision a
force OF men have been almost con-
stantly employed on the property ever
since 1903, and a vast amount of work
has been done Up TO the present
time $21 900 has been expended in
sinking shaft and in drifting along
the vein. There is now considerable
ore on the dump and 1t is expected
that regular shipments will be made
from the property next summer. The
mine is only six miles from Westcliffe
and the ore will have to be hauled to
that place.
Mr.. Knight says the 'Tabequatche"
is splendid property and that few
shipments of ore will repay the CON-
pany all OF the money IL has invested
In development work. In his opinion
there is destined to be a revival of the
old time mining activity In Custer
county and fortunes will be made
there in that line OF enterprise within
the next few years. The Spaulding
and Boneyard districts are both heav-
lily mineralized areas and will receive
great deal of attention from pros
peciors during the next twelve mon
tbs. and some good strikes are sure
to be made. The "TobeQuatche" pro-
perty Is In the same mineral zone with
the Silver Park country, and well de-
fined veins can be traced across the
Intervening country. Mr.. Knight says
there Is nc better field for the miner

OKLAHOMA BARBER ARRESTED
CHARGED With EMBEzzLEMENT
Has Started Here
nd i'm Home

Michael C. Maxwell was placed un-
der arrest by Marshal D. ]. Houston
ut the Strathmore hotel barber shop
shortly after o'clock Tuesday even
ing at the instance of the police au-
thorities at Rocky Ford, from which
place he came to Canon City couple
of weeks ago, and was lodged in Jail
pending an investigation on the charge
OF embezzling sum of money at
Newkirk, Oklahoma.
Maxwell refuses to discuss the crime
OF which he is accused and until an
officer arrives to take him back to
Oklahoma the extent and character OF
his offence will not be known here.
He is young man about "a years of
age, and is of good appearance. Since
coming to Canon City he has been en-
ployed at the Strathmore hotel barber
shop, and his arrest was great sur
prise to his associates. On being ar
rested he telegraphed his wife at
Guthrie, Oklahoma, that he had been
taken TO jail but did not state for
what cause he had been taken into
custody.
After leaving Oklahoma Maxwell
came to Rocky Ford, where he receiv-
ed letters from his wife and that fact
led to his undoing. Before leaving
there he visited the postoffice and left
an order there to forward his mail to
Canon City, and Marshal Houston was
informed of that act by the Otero
county authorities last week. Max
well had been described to the police
here as left handed barber and az
soon as he was observed by Marshal
Houston using razor in that way he
was convinced of the identity of his
man.
A telegram from Sheriff Wooden OF
Kay County, Oklahoma, was received
Wednesday morning stating that he
would leave Newkirk for Canon City
for the purpose of taking Maxwell
back as soon as the necessary requisi-
ton papers could be obtained.

the unpleasant issue that comes up

is the fact that the Mayor is expected

THE MAYORS SALARY

Few men in Canon can afford to
neglect their own business as much
as Mayor must for fifty cents a day
Perhaps Canon City cannot afford
to pay as liberal salary as would be
deserved, but il can do better than SIS

The Mayors salary ought to be in
creased and it can be done before a
new Mayor takes his seat.
Canon City can well afford to pay
$50 or SIS per month to her next
Mayor and 1t ought TO be done.
