It rests entirely with the people of
Canon City to say whether another
big enterprise shall be located here or
not. The Tri Bullion Smelling COM
pany of New York has offered to es-
tablish a million dollar smelling plant
here, provided it is given the neces-
sary site and railroad trackage, which
it is estimated will cost about $4,000.
The special committee of the Canon
City Merchants Association, which
has been conducting negotiations with
the company for some time, day or
two ago received a definite PROPOSE
ton from R. W. Bull, the accredited
representative of the company, in re-
lation to the location of the plant at
this place. The proposition was a lib
eral one and was accepted by the COM
mittee on the assumption that the
small amount of money involved could
be raised for the enterprise, which
will largely contribute to the mater
ial welfare of the community.
In first submitting its requirements
to the committee the company asked
that it be furnished a supply Of water,
but a subsequent arrangement was
made with G. r. Gwillin for piping
artesian water to its plant from the
Chandler wells. in lieu of which the
committee agreed to provide twelve
acres more to the site, making total
area for that purpose of approximately
forty acres The committee believes
1t has found a source from which the
necessary money will be forthcoming,
If not, an effort will probably be made
to raise it by public subscription. The
matter of bringing the smelter here is
up to the people and it may be con-
fdently asserted that they will not
turn it down.
The company agrees to go to work
Immediately upon the settlement of
the site and trackage question and
will make an initial expenditure of
$250,000 for buildings, which will lat
er be increased to $1,O00,0O0. 1t binds
itself to have one hundred and seven
ty-five men working by January LIST,
and expects to ultimately have labor
roll of a thousand men. The smelter
will be located couple of miles south
of town on the Santa Fe spur to the

HEAVY RAIN AND ELECTRIC
STORM AT PARkDALE

A rain and electrical storm OF un-
usual severity occurred at Parkdale
last Saturday evening and the low
lands in that Vicinity were flooded
with water. The lightning was Of
exceptional brilliancy and the thunder
terrifying In its frequency and sharp
ness. The Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road station was struck three or four
times by the electrical current, but
no serious damage was done. although
Its occupants were greatly frightened.
The residence OF Will Murray was
struck by lightning during the same
storm and all Of the family rendered
unconscious for a few seconds by the
shock which they received. Mr.. Muir
ray, who was standing in the middle
OF the living room at the time. was
knocked down by the bolt and for a
short time lay on the floor in a stun
ned condition. The plastering was
torn from the ceiling and pictures and
ornaments shaken from the walls.
The lightning seemed to come In the
front door and passed entirely through
the house, setting fire to a bed In its
course. 1t was one of the most re-
markable storms OF the kind wit
messed, at Parkdale for a long time.

terprise to develop Its magnificent
possibilities, but this will all come
about in due course OF time as we
gradually work out our high destiny.
Canon City Is a good town. one Of
the very best towns of Its size in the

COUNCIL DECIDE TO SURRENDER
FRANCHISE TO MR.. HEATH

At a conference of the members of
the city council Saturday it was
voted to surrender to Frank D. Heath
at the first regular meeting of that
body, the street railway franchise,
which has been held in escrow by the
city for several months. upon the post
ing by Mr.. Heath of a forfeit Of a
thousand dollars to complete the en-
terprise within the specified time.
Mr.. Heath has agreed to place in
the hands of the mayor a certified
check for one thousand dollars to
build the road in accordance with the
provisions of the franchise and to
purchase at fair market price such
of the roadbed, ties and other material
of the old company, now in the hands
of the creditors, as can be utilized to
advantage in the construction of the
enterprise.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Heath voluntarily
signed the franchise over to the care
and keeping of the city until the debts
contracted by F. S. Granger and his
associates in the construction of an
electric line to the top of the Royal
Gorge were cancelled there was con-
siderable opposition to giving it back
to him at this time and the ballot upon
the question of surrender was a tie,
necessitating its determination by
Mayor Seely, who voted in favor OF
the proposition.
In addition to putting up a forfeit
of one thousand dollars Mr.. Heath
agrees to reimburse the city for any
damages II might sustain in case he
did not get the road completed and
in operation within the prescribed
period. The company represented by
Mr.. Heath has paid out approximately
two thousand dollars In wages during
he last two weeks and poles for the
support of the overhead construction
are now in position from Soda Point
to the Denver & Rio Grande station.

The Tri Bullion Smelling company

the expenditure Of many thousands of

HIGH WATER IN THE RIVER
on SATURDAY NIGHT

Not for several years has the water
in the Arkansas river been As high a
1t was between nine and ten O'Clock
last Saturday night. due to an unus-
ually heavy rainfall in the mountains
west of the city. While NO great dam
age was done by the flood much valu-
able property along the banks was
threatened by the suddenness of the
rivers rise, which reached . point
about eighteen inches above the high
water mark OF two years ago.
The Denver & Rio Grande tracks
in the Royal Gorge were flooded. but
beyond leaving a lot OF driftwood and
rubbish on the roadbed, which was
easily removed, no damage OF any
consequence was done.
The river channel was unable to
contain the tremendous flow of water
which came down from the hills and
in several places 1t spread out over
where there had been nothing but
sandy depressions before.
The water ran over the Santa Fe
grade on south Ninth street and spread
out In the lowlands near the Diamond
Fire Brick company's plant, putting
the Ninth street bridge out OF busi-
ness for a couple Of hours. The water
got into several houses located on the
river bank below Ritzman's cement
block factory, causing the occupants
to temporarily abandon their homes.
There was a cloud burst In the
mountains In the vicinity OF CotapAxi.
which raized the river hat " een aIx and
seven feet. Grape Creek also was on
the rampage and the two combined
produced a flood here such as we have
not had In a long time. A campers out
fit with wagon and team Is reported
to have been seen In the debris when
the flood swept by this city. but how
truth there is in the rumor we are un-
able to state.
