EVERYBODY GETTING READY
FOR CLEANUP DAY FRIDAY

Cleanup Day is almost here.
On Friday morning next, at O'Clock
there will probably be more people
starting. in TO clean up Canon City
than ever before working for. this pur-
pose at one time. All the school chill
dren and a large percentage of the
people of the town, together with help
furnished by Warden Cleghorn. con-
sisting OF sixty men and nine teams,
will all be working on that day.
The results will be the cleanest city
in the state of Colorado at the end OF
the day. We are not a dirty town and
the cleanup process we underwent a
year ago has been in evidence ever
since. There is much less to do in the
alleys than there was 'onS year ago.
but the Civic Improvement League are
cleaning up the property along the
right of way of the D. & r. G. from
the gas plant TO the depot, and also
the dumping grounds in the west part
of the city, so that with this work
there will be more to do than last
year probably, but in the city proper.
that is. the streets and alleys, there
will not be so much to do as We find
them in much better condition

next Friday:

Permanent PRIZE GIVEN
FOR 0RATORICAL CONTESTS
10 Annually. High County
be April 26th

Always interested in school affairs,
and especially in those efforts to aid
and encourage the young men and
women to appear well in public, Guy
U. Hardy has arranged permanent
prize for an oratorical contest for this
county.
Pupils from all the high schools OF
the county are eligible.
Similar contests have been held in
past years for the prizes put up by
Mr. Hardy, but the present arrange
ment assures an annual affair that is
sure of being an inspiration and a
benefit TO the youth Of the county.
The contest this year will be held
Friday. April 26th.
Nearly dozen young men and wom-
en- in Canon City and South Canon
are preparing orations for the event,
Another year, it is hoped. Florence
will join in the contest, and in future
years other nearby cities may be in
vited in.
The prize this year will be $500 in
gold; $500 10 the first and $1,000 TO
the second Medals were suggested
by Mr.. Hardy, but as many OF the
young people are getting ready to go
to college and as such young people
are especially in need of cash the
change was gladly made.
Prof F. F. Thompson and Prof. H.
E. Smith have the matter of arrange
ment in hand and they report great
interest in the forthcoming contest
There are few intellectual accom-
plishments of greater value to young
men, particularly in the United States,
where the government is in the hands
of the people. than oratory. or. per-
haps We might say, the ability to eS-
press ones views clearly and force
fully in public.
While there may be less demand at
present for that stately and eloquent
style OF oratory that characterized the
public utterances of Daniel Webster,
Henry Clay, and other famous men,
than there used to be when popular
opinion received its Inspiration from
the rostrum, the complexities of our
modern civilization and business ac-
;ivity have increased, rather than di-
minished the necessity for public
speaking.
1t matters not what walk of life or
business a BOY or girl enters, the abil-
ity to speak well and to influence
people has much to do with success.
This learning TO speak is simple
thing II the desire is instlled in the
youth at the proper time, and there
is no better time than in the high
school.
II Is with this view in nind-to
stimulate the study OF speaking and
10 start noble and worthy ambitions
n the minds of the young. that these
prizes have been offered and these
contests arranged for.

Dear Sir: In compliance with your

of ground you ask for to enable the
public to get a better view through
the arch on Sycamores street, we feel
is too valuable for US to dispose OF.
1t would require a piece of ground
about 30 feet wide on the north line
of our property and extending back
to a point on Sycamore street some
thing like 200 feet TO crye the puf-
pose YOU require.
This w~E.d Ccprive us of the use of
about a car length on our |. c. track.
We would therefore very much prefer
not TO dispose of it at any price, and
we could not consider a price of less

lawyer who Is senior counsel for the
miners accused of the murder Of for
mer Governor Steunenberg Of Idaho

Darrow was at the head of the array
Of legal assistants for the United Mine
