DELINQUENT TAX LIST
TO BE WELL CIRCULATED

The county commissioners have a
warded the official printing to the
Canon City Record for this year at
the regular legal rates.
Last year these publications were
divided up between several papers.
which was found to be unsatisfactory.
The Record has voluntarily agreed
to have the delinquent tax list pub
lished one time in each of the other
five papers in the county at no extra
cost to the county.
This will be of great benefit to the
taxpayers, as all should have an op-
portunity of seeing the tax list, and
this year Florence people had little
opportunity of seeing it.
The delinquent tax list has grown
in recent years. with sidewalk. sewer
and other delinquencies, and many
people in every part of the county are
interested in it Those taxpayers who
appreciate the Importance of having
the delinquent list well circulated are
well pleased with this wholesale ar
rangement.

WILL he BE RETRIEVED
OR WILL HE BE HUNG

A question OF considerable interest
to a large number of the people OF Col
orado Just now is whether John Nc
Garvey, now in the penitentiary under
sentence OF death, will be hung in ac-
cordance with the sentence of the
law, or will be given a reprieve by
Governor Buchtel. The peculiar cir
surrounding the signing
of the death warrant OF the condem-
ned man may result in his temporary
reprieve. although nothing is definitely
known upon this point
Governor Mcdonald did not want to
affx his signature TO the death war
rant for the reason that he was to
retire from Office so soon and did not
care to close his administration by
performing so gruesome an act
Governor Buchtel has shirked the
matter thus far because he did not
want to make It one of his first Off
cial duties.
McGarvey is under sentence 10 hang
some time this week. and whatever is
done for him must be done at once.
The prisoner was alive this afternoon,
but how long he will remain SO is a
matter for speculation. Governor
Buchtel may investigate McGaryey's
case. and a reprieve is not improbable.
The next three days will determine
whether he is TO live or die.

He spoke of the need of insurance
which insures, and the demand for the
enactment of comprehensive and
conservative insurance law. The need
of savings institutions which save call
for sound banking law. The need
is clearly apparent of q state examiner
with a sufficient number of deputies to
make it possible for him to keep track
of the business of all financial institu-
tions which handle public funds. One
of the radical recommendations made
by the new executive is that children
attending high schools should be made
to pay tuition. and all students in the
state educational institutions, either
residents OF Colorado or coming here
from outside should be made to pay
tuition. Governor Buchtel points out
that the state appropriates for educa-
ton 81 500. 900, and 100000 Of this is
appropriated to these institutions.
This amount he declares to be too
large. He says II should be cut down

cards the thing Of railroad logislation

MUCH TIMBER BEING CUT
FROM DECIDED LAND

Considerable complaint has been
heard lately from the owners of land
between Four Mile and Eight Mile
Creeks OF the cutting of timber by
outsiders in that section of the coun-
ty. The depredations OF timber rust
lers in that vicinity has been very pro-
nounced during the last few months
and prosecutions are likely to follow
unless II is stopped at once.
Most OF the land in that part of the
county has been sold by the govern
ment and its title is vested in private
individuals. While there never was
any great amount of timber on the
land alluded to there were many trees
suitable for fence posts and other
purposes. but they have mostly been
cut and hauled away since the begin
ming of the present winter. Unless
the stealing ceases somebody is likely
to get pSached by the courts.
