DITCH EXPENSE LESS
LAST YEAR THAN USUAL

In the course of his report to the
stockholders of the Canon City Hy-
draulic and Irrigating Ditch company
at the annual meeting Tuesday after
noon, Capt B. F. Rockafellow. secre-
tary of the company, said in part:
Mr.. President and Stockholders
You are to be congratulated that the
expense of maintaining the ditch the
past season was the smallest for years
and that we have been able to keep
water in the canal nearly all of the
time, which has been of great con-
yenience to those of us owning poul-
try and live stock of any kind, also
affording us an opportunity of satur-
ating our strawberry and garden
ground during the mid winter months.
Forty stock certificates have been
made out during the period covered by
this report, showing a larger number
Iof transfers OF property to new people
contiguous to the ditch than in the
average twelve months. A marked
interest has been taken by land own
ers in the territory traversed by the
ditch during the twelve months just
ended in beautifying their homes and
lawns, particularly has this been the
case in the Fruitmere district.

The plating and rapid selling of
small tracts of land by the Grand View
Irrigating company, which is under
water rights belonging to this and the
Oil Creek company, insures fine ad-
dition to the suburban homes of Canon
City. 1t is worthy of special mention
that notwithstanding that accident of
nature on October cath last when so
much damage was done to farm and
horticultural crops, our stockholders
have met every obligation promptly,
every cent OF our s21OO assessment of
year ago being paid.

OLD COTTONWOOD TREES
WERE CUT DOWN

The two big cottonwood trees that
stood in front of the ST Cloud hotel
were cut down on Wednesday to make
room for the verandah and the con-
crete sidewalk soon to be built at the
instance of Mayor Coulter, the owner
OF the property. These huge old cot
tonwoods are survivors Of pioneer
days in Canon City and have Witnessed
stirring scenes. They we're planted
by the settlers before the Civil war,
and saw the departure of men for the
east to take part in the great conflict
between the North and the South,
some of them to enlist under the ban
ner of the Confederacy and some of
them under the Stars and Stripes
They were here in the days of the
Indian and beheld the Ute warriors
march by with stealthy tread on their
way to the great plains to battle with
their hereditary enemies, the Conan
ches and the Sioux
They were among the last of that

"old timers" planted along Main street
from Soda Point to Four Mile, the
others having been crowded out by the
encroachments of business. Within
the last few years scores of the old
Cottonwood shade trees in the COM
mercial part of the town have been
cut down, and with the exception of a
somewhat delapidated specimen in
front of the Central hotel, there are
none left on Main street from Second
street eastward to the First Methodist
church, distance of six blocks.
The destruction on Wednesday OF
the old porch protecting the entrance
to the st. Cloud hotel also removes
an old landmark and adds much TO the
dignity of that hostelry. 1t was a very
ramshackle and disreputable affair,
and its demolition gives the hotel n
far more inviting appearance from
whatever point 1t may be viewed. With
erected as soon as the carpenters can
accomplish It, and broad concrete side
walk, the St Cloud hotel exterior will
be one OF attractiveness and eminent
respectability.
The interior of the building is also
being improved and refurnished, and
when completed win be in keeping
with its outside Appearance COM

may be of interest to some of our
readers to know that the St Cloud
hotel originally stood in Silver Cliff,
but with the decline of Its prosperity
was brought here and re-erected.

THE BANNER GOOSE

While not exactly the possessor of
the famous goose that lays the golden
egg, N. H. Endsley is the owner of
what is probably the most prolific
fowl of that kind in Fremont county.
A carefully kept account shows that
Mr.. Endsley derived an income of fifty
dollars and fifty cents from the bird
alluded to last year and had the goose
left, which our readers will concede is
not at all bad. The revenue was from
the sale Of eggs and goslings.

Court Still Considering Important

Court Still Considering Important
Points Involved In Gordon Appeal.
Mr.. James r. Gordon's appeal from.
the Police Court where he was fined
for not obeying the instructtons@of a
conductor as to seats to be occupied
by white passengers on the street,
cars, was not settled in the Hastings
Court yesterday. After evidence had
been submitted to jury last week
counsel for Mr.. Gordon sent UP Ger
tain instructions to the court to be
to the jury, but Judge
Witt adjourned the case in order to
the law more thoroughly.
AS stated heretofore, the most import
ant of the Instructions was with ref
erence to the meaning of the word
and tho point was rails
ed by the defense that the seats for
white and colored people must be
plainly marked with signs.
commemorative Attorney Folkes did
not take this view of the case, con-
tending that Willie there was gem
eral law the conductors had to ex-
eroise their own discretion In desig-
mating the seats to be occupied by
white and colored passengers. 1t is
admitted that the question is one OF
very great Importance, and for that
reason the court Is not disposed to de-
eide 1t without due and deliberate con-
sideration.
