Governor Peabody received tele-
gram Thursday from Ira Mowry. Of
Morristown. New Jersey. vice presi-
dent OF the Canon City and Royal
Gorge Railroad company. stating that
the money for the construction of the
company's enterprise here was in the
bank subject to check.
The message from Mr.. Mowry Is un-
eQuivocal in its meaning and removes
the last vestage OF doubt that may
have existed about the immediate
building OF an electric system OF
transportation through the streets OF
Canon City. The bonds Of the COM
pany have been underwritten by the
banking Arm OF Coggeshall & Hicks.
OF New York City and the money can
be drawn upon at any time the COM
pany desires to utilize II for conetruc-
ton purposes.
The only thing that now remains to
be done is to 20 to work. and II II

Bailey William James. of Lincoln Park

now full fiedged subjects of the Big

lean. Both have lived in Fremont
county for number of years, and are
we'll known, honorable citizens. So a

case.

held this afternoon. No cases Of very
great importance, however. are set for

POSTOFFICE AT ELDRED SOON
TO BE DISCONTINUED

The postal authorities at Washing
ton have given notice that the post
Office at Eldred in this county will be
discontinued after December 18th and
that the Star route from this. city.
through Garden Park to that point
will be abolished as no longer neces-
sary.
John Freek. for many years past
postmaster at Eldred, resigned sever
al months ago. but only recently did
the department act upon it. for such
things move very slowly with the
officials at the national capitol. When
Mr.. Freek's resignation became known
the patrons OF the Eldred postofiice
held a meeting and endeavored to find
somebody who was willing to become
his successor, but to no purpose. as
none OF them were disposed to take the
Office as 1t Is something OF burden
without any thing like adequate COM
pensation.
CanÌƒon City record. [volume] (CanÌƒon City, Colo.) 1883-192?, 1907-11-14

The salaries attached to such post
offices as the one at Eldred are deter
mined by the number of their stamp
cancellations, and are consequently,
very meagre ones The Office at Eldred
has ben conducted by Mr.. Freek for
long time past more as an accom-
modation to his neighbors than any
thing else particularly since the post
office department has required the mail
carrier to gather up letters at the
various ranch houses and bring them
to Canon City, where their stamps
are cancelled.
Eldred has had a daily mail service
for many years and its discontinuance
will be keenly felt by the people re-
siding in that section as it will ne
cessitate their coming to Canon City
for all OF their letters, newspapers
and other postal matter.
Geo B. Kirkland OF South Canon
has the contract for carrying the mail
between this city and Eldred and 1t
would have run till January 1st, 1910,
had the government not terminated
1t, as it stipulates in such contracts
that it reserves the right to do at any
time 1t may deem necessary as a mat
ter of economy. The government Is
generous, however, in such affairs and
whenever Star route is abolished
the mail carrier is allowed his salary
for one month after he ceases to per-
form such service Although the Ell
dred postofice will be discontinued on
the 18th of next month Mr.. Kirkland
will draw pay for carrying the mail
to that point up to the 18th of January.

MUCH INTEREST IN CANON
CITY IN THE EAST

At no time in the history of the
community has there been as many
inquiries from eastern people about
Canon City as there is at present, due
to the advertising it has had within
the last year or two. Letters are be-
ing received every day by Secretary
Ross asking about Canon City as a
place of residence during the winter
season and he is kept busy sending out
such descriptive matter relating to
the town and its surroundings as he
has at comamnd.
| This mornings tn- Mr. Ross mail
was a letter from E. r. Torgler of the
firm of Braun. Torgler & Co.. Of To-
ledo. Ohio. asking about Canon City.
He says, MY wife and a friend Of
hers are desirous of spending the win
ter in Colorado and your city has been
very highly recommended as one Of
the most attractive places in the state.
They prefer to live on a ranch where
they will be able to go horseback rid
ing. Neither of the ladies are sick"
Mr.. Torgler's letter is typical Of
scores of such communications and
shows the necessity of a first class
illustrated booklet descriptive of the
community to be mailed to eastern
people likely to come here on business
or pleasure. The money put into
such advertising would be a paying
investment for the city.

FOOT CUT OFF By RIO
GRANDE SWITCH ENGINE

James Mckenzie, the twelve year
old son Of Jas. H. Mckenzie of 1880
River street, had his left foot cut on
by a switch engine in the Denver 4
Rio Grande yards about 3 O'Clock
Monday afternoon.
The Mckenzie boy and several Of
his associates were playing near the
coal chutes when the switch engine
came up from the lower yards and
stopped near the intersection of the
main track. The boys took advantage
of the opportunity to climb upon the
locomotive, regarding the affair as u
great lark. Observing the boys in the
gangway, between the engine and the
tender, the fireman ordered them to
get OF as he was going to move
ahead. They all jumped down with
out injury, except the Mckenzie boy.
who slipped on the icy step and fell
under the wheels with the result al
ready chronicled.
The unhappy lad was picked up by
the engineer and taken to the railroad
for to take him to the hospital In
order that his wound might be dressed.
The victim is getting along quite a.
well as could be expected In view Of
the seriousness OF his injury. but At
best will always be q cripple. His

contract for carrying the mail for the

"You may not know It," said the
Kansas man. but the proprietors Of
many inferior colleries are trading up
on the fame of Canon City coal in my
section OF the country. which, perhaps.
10 only natural In view OF the excellent
name the product OF your mines has
among consumers down there. For a
long time after ! began to use Canon
City coal in my house there was no
perceptible variation in Its quality, but
OF recent years a great change has
been noticeable in its character. some
times 1t was good. sometimes bad. 1t
did not ocur TO me then, as II has
since l came to Colorado. that the
poorer quality was not Canon City
coal at all, but an Inferior product
sold under the reputation established
by your mines here.
When It is considered that the de-
mand for Canon City coal 10 greatly
in excess OF Its output, which l have
recently learned Is the case, II is not
TO be wondered at that coal dealers
In Kansas and Nebraska have taken
advantage OF the fame OF your COL
lieries to dispose of much cheap
er and Inferior product. While II

tation OF another. II Is human nature
to do SO and will probably be con-
tnued as long as men compete In
I business matters. Canon City coal
b. in my opinion. the best semi-bitu-
minous fuel mined In the west aud
will find an increasing market In
Kansas for many years. l am con-
vinced from personal observation that

one OF the most famous coal producing
