HUMANE OFFICER is
NEGLECTING DUTIES

There are times when the humane
officer, like the immortal Homer, mods.
although he may be unconscious of
the fact. In most communities there
are occasions when human sympathy
Is aroused by mans inhumanity to
his beasts of burden. and Canon City
is no exception to the rule. although,
perhaps. there is less of 1t here than
in the majority of western towns.
Nothing so awakens our pity and
commisseration as the sight of q
wounded and taded horse being COM
PEELED by a brutal and unfeeling mas
ter to draw a load that taxes his
strength to the utmost Then 1t is
that we wish a policeman would come

ONE OF THE STRONGEST
INSTITUTIONS IN STATE

Within the last four months the de-
posfts in the Fremont County National
Bank have Increased more than $685.
600, according to the report Of the
comptroller of the currency at Wash
ington. During the same period the
assets have augmented by $4,000;
making the total strength of the bank
$1,12s.172.05.
The report upon which these figures
arSI5si was made at the close of
business March %. 1907. less than two
weeks ago At that time the deposits
were 1896 900 and the total cash re-
sources s667 900. These are big fig
ures for a bank In a community no
larger than Canon City, and are elo-
quent testimony of the growth of the
town in every line of material wealth.
That such a strong financial insti-
tuition is possible here is a tribute to
the prosperity of the town. The growth
of the Fremont County National Bank
has been remarkable. a fact that is
highly gratifying to its friends, and
creditable to its management

COL. MACDONALD CLAIMS
HE HAS WON RECORD

Col. ]. @. A. Macdonald came down
in his motor car from Florence last
evening and today is proclaiminI
proudly that he holds the record for
speed between Florence and Pueblo.
he having made the trip in one hour
and forty-five minues. As the best
time made between the two pc ats by.
a railway train upon smooth rails Is
one hour, and as the wagon roads In
western Pueblo and eastern Fremont
counties are far from being perfect. it
would seem that the boast of Colonel
Macdonald that he is the fastest thing
in wheels" is well founded, and that
he has established record that will
stand for long time to come.-Pueblo

bitions are comparatively rare and
usually the law metes out a deserved
punishment to those responsible for
them.
day or two ago boy was seen
driving poor, disconsolate looking
horse about the streets to an express
wagon that would have made a good
subject for an equine hospital, If sucn
an institution could be found. The
shafts of the vehicle had rubbed the
skin of the poor animals shoulder
and great, uncared-for sore was the.
result. A piece of coarse sacking had
been carelessly wound around the end
of the shaft that had done the mis-
chief, in consequence of which the sore
was aggravated and inflamed at every
step of the animal. By proper atten-.
ton the sore could have been avoidsd.
but. If created, could easily have been
cured by humane and kiad-hearted
owner Such exhibitions OF cruelty
are unworthy of our civilization!

RESIGNS HIS MEMBERSHIP
ON BOARD OF EDUCATION

In this issue of The Record appears
the call for the annual school election
in District No. /. 1t will be seen that
in addition to the usual election the
public will be called upon to choose
a successor to T. B. Coulter, who has
resigned from the board of education,
owing to the demands upon his time
by private affairs. Mr.. Coulter says
that he rather enjoyed the duties ex-
acted of him by membership on the
school board util other work crowded
upon him to such an extent as to
make it burdensome The require
ments of his private business are so
onerous that Mr. coulter tninKs that
he can no longer remain member
of the board of education. To do 50,
he says, would be unfair to the public
as well as to himself.

w. T. George and family of Phillippi,
West Virginia, accompanied by Miss
Boyles of the same place, stopped
of here last Saturday for a visit with
City Attorney A. l.. Taylor and wife
and Ben F.. Taylor, while en- route
home from California, where they
spent the winter. Mr.. George is a
prominent and wealthy lawyer and is
so we'll pleased with Canon City that
he may return here to make his home.
The visitors have been taken by their
entertainers to see tn Royal Gorge

town. Mr.. George and party will leave

we can have good municipal govern
ment To acquiese cheerfully and
phllosophically in the result OF an cleo
ton of any kind is the American idea
of things; to do otherwise is to be
unpatriotic and we are sure there is
nobody of that character in Canon
city.
The thing for everybody to do now
is to boost for the town. the problems
of municipal politics and enterprise
are in good hands and will be solved
by the mayor and the council II they
are given the right sort OF support and
encouragement by the public. Tues
days election will go down in history
as one OF the most notable in the an

CITIZENS PARTY WINS
ON THE SOUTH SIDE

The election in South Canon on
Tuesday was uneventful and only
about three-fourths of the registered
vote was gotten out to the polls. Both
parties had declared against the Ii
censing of saloons In their platform
and no effort was made to drag the
matter into the campaign. The prin-
cipal issue seems to have been wheth-
er the streets should be sprinkled or
not; the Taxpayers party favoring the
proposition and the Citizens party op-
posing it
The voting took place at the town
hall on South Second street W. F.
Gleason was chosen mayor over W.
H. Trout, the former receiving 21O
votes and the latter 1913. The Citi-
zens party triumphed all along the
line, electing in addition to the mayor
all three of the village trustees. TIE
vote for the various candidates for po-
sitions on the board of trustees was
as follows. Citizens-H. L. Bowman,
zoe; w. A Boyce. 2O2. ]. 1. Deniston,

case in point is related of L. P. Boyle.

that office from the Second ward.
Mr. Russell is a man of large avoir-

who follow the standards of the Mar
quis of Queensberry would call a
'featherweight" in that respect The
latter was being jollied on his lack Of
aldermanic proportions when Mr.. Rus
sell remarked that If Mr.. Boyle was
elected as a member OF the council he
would buy him a suit Of clothing to

and the fact that $50 ballots we're cast
by those financially interested in the
matter is highly creditable and indi-
Gates the deep concern with which the
water question is regarded by the
public.
The question to be determined was
whether the city should authorize the
issuance OF 100000 In bonds for the
construction OF an additional system
of water works, and OF acquiring the
necessary rights to afford the public
an adequate supply of pure water for
irrigation and domestic purposes. The
bond issue was voted by a large ma.
jority in every ward in the city, there
being 42s ballots for the bonds and l55
ballots against the bonds.

there has been quite a change.
