is CONFIDENT THEY
HAVE A GOOD THING

A. H. Halter, who with other New
York capitalists recently purchased
group of valuable copper properties in
the Red Gulch district, ten miles north
CT Cotopaxi. came down to Canon City
few days ago, after having made an
exhaustive study OF the geology of the
country where the mines are located.
Mr.. Halter is much impressed with
the richness of that part of the county
as an ore-bearing territory, and thinks
1t is destined to become one of the
great copper producing sections OF the
west. At present Mr.. Halter and his
associates have something like twenty
five men engaged in development work
and they are so sanguine of results
that they will soon increase the num-
ber.

On the Water Question

Or to get the water from Beaver
Creek.
Many people think that in many
ways Beaver Creek offers the most
Favorable opportunity. The water is
as good as any in the state. The
wafer rights are among the Oldest,
beiag ten years older than Cotton
wood. And the source Of supply is
onis about nineteen miles from Canon
City. and the line would be through
a very level country.
The people who own the Beaver
Creek rights made proposition to the
city council month ago to build a
complete water system.
The proposition was rather complex
and did not meet with favor from the
council, so was turned down.
But there are so many advantages
to Beaver as q source of supply that
many think an effort should be made
tosget that water if the right terms can
be made.
Probably the best thing for the city
10 do would be to buy eight or ten
feet of the oldest rights, outright, and
build its own system
I,hs city viii not go into any reser-
S-.r scheme and 1t would probably be
preferable not TO have any partner
ship arrangement on a system.
So the simplest way will be to buy
the water rights and build our own
system.
If this can be done, then Beaver
Creek offers an excellent solution to
the water question.

Mr.. GIBSON MAKES A CALL
FOR ARB0R DAY VOLUNTEERS
Improvement League Clean Up Day
Last Year the Town Cleaned up Before
DO Again.

Everyone will recall the wonderful
cleaning up process we went through
on this day one year ago. The city
was never SO clean before, and has
shown it ever since.
We did a great thing that day,
hauled away hundreds of loads of rub
bish of one sort and another, some of
which had been accumulating for
twenty years. This year there will be
less to do, but there will be plenty
to do. We must have help, and plenty
OF it.
No end of people for whom the Civic
Improvement League cleaned up al
leys and property last year have kept
clean since, or will clean at their own
expense this year. Everyone ought to
do his own cleaning, and everyone
should know it, but everyone does not,
and everyone knows that, also. There
fore, for those who have not, cannot,
lor viii not, the Civic Improvement
League will, on Arbor day, clean up
the alleys and streets.
This is something in which every
man, woman and child is, or should
be, intensely interested, and join with
the Civic Improvement League. There
are members of this league who have
put in days and weeks, notably Mr..
Marr, in this Civic Improvement work
and there are great results to show
for it-results of which every citizen
should be proud, and so will your chill
dren, and their children, and then
some. 1t is great work to put in
parks and beautify a city.
This league has done q great work
and have only commenced
We need the free offer of teams.
Last year we had a number of teams
and men free in our days work.
VINO will do it?
The columns of all the papers are
open to announce who will, or you
can notify me and will publish the
list.
We want to do better job than
last year. will put on three teams
and as many men for the day. as a
starter.
We hope. in fact. We sincerely be-
lieve, that a number viii volunteer
promptly, otherwise we cannot do
business" D. z. GIBSON,

RETAINING WALL GAVE
WAY MONDAY MORNING

William Knight, convict at the
penitentiary, was severely, perhaps IA
tally, injured at II o'clock Monday
morning in consequence of a fall
caused by the giving way Of a part of
the retaining wall along the Skyline
drive. Knight and another "trusty"
were driving a team OF mules attached
to a heavy wagon when the accident
took place, and that they were not all
killed is a little short of the miracu-
lous.
IN passing over a portion OF the
driveway which had been built up by
means of a retaining wall, the weight
of the vehicle caused the stones sup
porting the road to give way and the
wagon, team and men were thrown
down the side OF the mountain for a
distance of fifteen or twenty feet in a
veritable avalanche of earth and rock.
Happily, Knight was the only oae
hurt, but how his companion and the
team escaped is difficult to understand,
Knight was taken to the hospital at
the peuitentiary in an insensible con-
dition and his recovery is regarded as
very doubtful.

mountain water and are willing to
pay for it
So the sooner the new council takes
up the matter. The better We want
the water and the benefits from it as
soon as possible. and then the longer
these things are delayed the more
they usually cost
In a general way. the people have
pretty well decided on some essential
points about the water system.
1t must not cost complete. over
100000.
1t must be supplied by a gravity
system.
1t must be from 4 running stream
and not saved up in storage reser-
voirs.

ten feet so as to supply q city much
larger than Canon now is. Canon City

HOME GROWN GARDEN TRUCK
IN THE LOCAL MARKET

The unusually early spring has re-
suited in homegrown vegetables find
ing their way into the market ten days
or two weeks in advance of the Gus
tomary date. Gardeners began to bring
rhubard, or "pieplant' as it is CONNER
cially called, to town during the last
week in March, and it is now being
shipped out in considerable quantity
by the Fremont County Fruit Growers
association, the Green Hill Orchards
company, and other wholesale dealers:
some of it being consigned to Kansas,
Nebraska and New Mexico points.
Asparagus, which rarely is ready for
cutting in this latitude before the goth
OF April, has been in the market for a
week and on Monday a shipment of it
was made by the Fruit Growers associ-
alton to Denver. 1t is OF a very fine
quality this season and the crop prom
ises to be the biggest and most remu-
nerative in the history of the commu-
nifty. The Colorado Canning company
expects to begin canning asparagus
about the middle OF the current month.
Local gardeners have had spinach
on the market for several weeks and
before the end OF this one will be
bringing in lettuce, radishes, etc. The
outlook for the gardener this year is
certainly most encouraging.

KANSAS CITY MEN
To BUILD THE ROAD

Frank D. Heath. who has been in
the east for three or four weeks on
business connected with the Canon
City and Royal Gorge electric railroad,
came home Sunday night. He was ac-
compauied from Kansas City by Jas.
H Peabody and W. H. Peabody, who
joined him there several days ago.
AS Mr.. Heath's mission was one of
general interest to the community, the
public Will be grat.fed to know that
the result of his visit was in every
way most encouraging.
The Philadelphia people" said Mr.,
Heath. failed to satisfy ME that they
intended to make good, and negotia-
tons with them were broken OFF and
the matter taken up with Kansas City
capitalists, who have been anxious to
take hold of the enterprise for some
time.
An electric railroad from Canon
City to the top of the Royal Gorge
appeals to my Kansas City correspond
ents as an excellent business propo-
sition, and there is absolutely no
doubt about their building II during
the next few months. For obvious
reasons l am Withholding the names
of the men who have taken the matter
up in Kansas City. Suffice 1t for the
present to state that they are among
the wealthiest and most reputable in
that city. A large amount of the stock
has already been subscribed and
money in plenty will be forthcoming
to build the road and put 1t into oper-
alton.
Just now we are not giving out
very much for publication. but you
may be assured that everything is all
right and that We expect to build the
road: in fact, no uncertainty exists
upon that point In .he course of two
or three weeks bunch of Kansas
City capitalists will be here and We
expect to start the thing of with
great enthusiasm. The debts OF the
old company will be paid simultane-
ously with the beginning of construc-
ton work and there will be no inter-
ruption until the cars are running.
1T Is a physical impossibility In the
present congested condition OF busi-
ness at the iron mills to procure steel
rails under eight or nine months. but
we have made arrangements to pur-
chase what we need from other par
