Missouri river in Montana along the
base of the mountains southwark to
the valley of Mexico, where 1t turns
north to the Colorado river, which
has been damned in order that the
walls of that famous canon may be
utilized as part of a great irrigation
system, and then passes through Ne
vada northward to the Columbia river.
A huge wall of masonry has been con-
structed on the lower side of the
canal and no locks interfere with the
traffic on its waters.
The life giving fluid is taken out
wherever needed for irrigation pur-
poses and the waste places" are
made to blossom as the rose. The
canal is one body OF clear, sparkling
water as smooth as Lake Michigan.
The valleys are made green with the
agriculture of an energetic Industrious
people, and the mountains are trans
formed into a forest reserve with an
abundance of game and fish OF all
kinds. The plains are an Eden where
every young man can own a farm,
thereby fulfilling the destiny of the
Republic.

ing the week the effort would be made
to sell all the shares and the church
would be dedicated next Sunday.
Three years are given in which to
pay the shares and there should be but
little difhculty in securing purchasers
for all that remain.
DR.. Breeden had expected to close
the campaign next Friday, but ON ac-
count of his recent Illness has decided
to remain over Sunday.
The church last night was crowded
to the utmost capacity. An after ser
vice was held and many remained to
hear the earnest words of the speaker
as he urged men and women to make
their peace with God Five persons
were received into the congregation by
letter and statement
Monday DR.. Breeden pictured the
horrors OF sin, which he said means
alienation from God and righteous
ness. II means blindness, slavery,
disease and death. There is but one
cure for sin and that is Christ, who
unites God and man and who brings
light and liberty. He comes to seek
the lost. to cure the diseased and to
raise those who are dead. Christ re-
moves the love of sin, changes the
practice of Gin into the practice Of
righteousness and places US in the
state OF holiness.
Sin" said DR.. Breeden. " is a small
word of only three letters. But 1t has
a great pedigree. Sin is filling our
jails and prisons and cemeteries. Sin
has caused all the trouble and all
the wars OF the world. There is NO
misery. no pain, NO anguish, but from
sin. Its genesis is lust and its end
Is eternal death"

SEES GREAT CANAL SYSTEM
WITH PROPHETIC VISION

1t should be a matter for general
congratulation that our president,
Theodore Roosevelt, is doing SO much
to open up the great waterways of
the land to the fleets of commerce.
The Panama canal will be completed
in a few years and the Mississippi
river will be deepened from ST Paul
to the Gulf of Mexico, making it avail
able as an artery of business at all
seasons of the year.
These gigantic enterprises will help
all sections Of our country; the east
and the west, no less than the CEN
trail and southern sections of the Re-
public will be benefited by their in
auguration. Although our own great
middle west is one of the mightiest
factors in the material growth and
prosperity of the land she occasion

After the lapse of years she opens
them with a smile to see what has
been wrought through the energy o.
man.
She climbs to the summit of some
lofty peak where she can see with an

She beholds a canal girdling the Rocky
mountains and stimulating the activi-

Before the sermon Prof. Turner sang
"One Sweetly Solemn Thought" in a
way that showed his great ability as
a singer At the close Of the sermon he
again sang Beautiful Isle OF Some

Not only 10 1t Advancing the strength
and usefulness of that congregation,
but 1t means great deal to Canon
City. From a material standpoint, the
magnificent classic temple on the cor

portion OF the city and greatly adds to
the beautiful architecture OF the city.
Morally and spiritually the congrega-
ton will stand foremost with the other
churches Of the city in the battle for
civic Righteousness and the advance

the real prosperity of the community.
The citizens Of the town who ap-

their appreciation by attending the
dedicatory exercises ON Sunday.
The generous heartedness which
has characterized the congregation OF
the Christian church was manifested
Sunday morning when the effort was
made by DR.. Breeden to raise the in
building. A greater spirit OF liberality
was never seen in Canon City. The
debt was $1,000. a large sum for q
small congregation to raise consider

undaunted and right royalty did they
succeed.

IS AFTER EASTER CANDY.
Secretary Hurry Orders 1t to
Be Inspected.
HIGH COLORS POISONOUS.

DR.. ]. \. Hurry, secretary of the
state board OF health has instructed
the inspectors working in connection
with the state laboratory of Hygiene
to make careful inspection of the
candies sold during Easter season.
This action follows the discoveries
made in Ohio, where State Food Com
missioner r. ". Dunlap issued a state
ment Tuesday to the effect that his
chemists have been finding Easter
candies and toys made of paraffin ard
shellac varnish. with inner fill lgs or
cheap sweets. The candies are made
attractive by high colors, which are
found to be coal tar dyes, matter that
has often caused death. The Ohio
commissioner has ordered that all
such candies be taken off the market.
Dealers who refuse to do so are to be
prosecuted.
But little of importance has been &C.
complished by the Indiana inspectors
thus far, as they have been putting
in the time learning their duties and
formulating plans for work.

Conditions Are Not Found
Favorable to the Pro-
posed Entertainment.
NO DIRECTOR SECURED.
THEN IT WAS FOUND THE MUSl-
CAL SCORE WAS UNSATISFAC-
TORY AND THE TIME FOR RE-
HEARSALS TOO SHORT.

There has been a general lack of in
terest taken by members of Richmond
lodge of Elks in the minstrel show that
was to have been given April 10Th and
Goth, for the benefit of the Y. NJ. c. A.
fund and it has been practically decid-
ed not to give the show.
When the lodge first decided to give
the show an effort was made to secure
a competent coach to put on the pro-
duction. The committee was, however,
unable to get the man desired and the
show was allowed to fall through, as
those identified with it thought that
it would be useless to put the produc-
ton on unless it was in charge of some
experienced director
Musical Score Unsatisfactory.
One or two rehearsals were held, but
the musical score was unsatisfactory
This with the disappointment in not
securing a competent coach, made the
lodge members discouraged and the
show was allowed to .'give up the
ghost" 1t is now less than three
weeks from the date set for the pro-
duction of the show and even If sat
isfactory instructor was now secured
the time remaining for rehearsing the
production would be too short to war

RAILROAD NOTES.

The park at the local Pennsylvania
station has been given a thorough
cleaning and presents a most pleasing
sight.
President Dickinson OF the Frisco
system, says the only way in which to
solve the present railroad problem il
for the railroads and the Interstate
Commerce Commission to come to
some definite agreement
Under the existing labor laws OF the
country the railroads cannot go to
Europe to secure enough men to re-
construct old, and build new lines. and
therefore such work is practically al
standstill at present.
Pennsylvania officials are still in a
quandry over the recent ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commission re
is said that to come up to all the re.
quirements laid down by the commits.
sion is well nigh impossible.
Rates for the jamestown exposition
are expected at the local Pennsylvania
station soon. Literature has been re.
ceived advertising the event but nc
rates have been received
A meeting of the two divisions of
the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen
will be held in Buffalo to ratify an
agreement of cooperation between the
two organizations. In case this is
successful it is probable eastern men
will be drawn into strike along with
those trainmen west of Chicago. In
case this is true local members of the
brotherhood will be affected. II is
said the trainmen have been holding
out that the whole country may be
affected in case the strike is declar-
ed.

Pat Conroy Is Again in Charge Of the
Old Goat and Is Well
Satisfied.

The new monster switch engine,
which has been used in the uptown
yards of the Pennsylvania for a few
days has been transferred to the east
end yards. The engine was so large
that it could not handily take the
sharp turns on the switches of the
various local manufacturing compan-
les. The engine was badly needed in
the east end yards as it is of such
power that it can easily handle long
strings of cars with much speed En-

service for such a long time, and is
contented, as he says the new engine
was too stiff in the joints
