there has been no abatement in his
enthusiasm in relation to the enter
prise, which he is convinced is good
financial proposition. The same is
true of Col. Willis Wood, Mr.. Egolf
and other Kansas City capitalists in
terested in the matter. They regard
it as a first class investment and have
proven the faith that's in them" by
subscribing for a generous block of
the companys stock.
We are assured that there will be
no lack of money to build and equip
the road and that it will be in opera
ton by July first in accordance with
the promises made by Mr.. Heath and
his associates. The company is now
engaged in getting out booklet show
ing scenes along the line of the pro-
posed road from Soda Point to the top
of the Gorge. 1t will be one of the
handsomest advertising brochures ever
issued by western railroad company

able that an eastern contractor will
be secured to complete the building of
the road.

SANTA FE RAILROAD
DOING BIG BUSINESS

company's business at this point has
been marvellous during the last few
years, due in large measure to the
development of the coal mining indus
try in the territory contiguous to the
city and the expansion of the smelling
interests here In 1905 Canon City
showed one of the largest per cent
tions along the line of the Santa Fe
road from Chicago to San Francisco,
and since then the increase has been
but little less marked. The force of
men employed here has for some time
been insufficient to properly handle

pages OF advertising in the April num-
Der of the Denver and Rio Grande rail-
road company's RED Book" Of which
10000 copies will be issued for dis
tribution in the United States. Canada

generous treatment, In fact it was
more than given to any other commun-
ity in the state except Denver. Color
ado Springs. Cripple Creek and Pueblo
Recognizing the growing Importance
of Canon City and its splendid pros
pect, the railroad company has yolu-
ntarily doubled the space devoted to
it in its advertising matter. The copy

At meeting of the members of the
committee having charge of the organ
ization of the Canon City Boosters club

the big parade next Monday night, the
procession to form at the corner of
Third and Main streets. II the wea-
ther is favorable the meeting will be
held in the park, near the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad station, otherwise

There will be transparencies galore
carried in the parade and the line Of
march will be illuminated by the burn
ing of red fire. 1t is expected that
there will be five hundred men in line
and that the occasion will be a notable

At Monday nights meeting plans
will be formulated for the Booster ex-
cursion to Cripple Creek, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo.

MAKING GOOD ROADS
IN EAST CANON

The people OF East Canon are doing
much to improve the public roads
roads and some of the best and smooth
est driveways in the county are now
to be found in that village. In addi-
ton to grading the streets in such a
way as to afford the best possible
drainage, great deal of sand has been
hauled upon them and they now have
an excellent surface, and one that will
get better by usage. Within the last
few weeks three hundred and fifty
wagon loads of sand has been spread
on Main street between Orchard ave-
nue. and the railroad crossing. The
public spirit shown by the people Of
East Canon in fixing up the roadways
might be emulated to advantage by
several other communities not thou
sand miles away.

STEEL FRAME OF RAILROAD
SHOPS IN PLACE

The steel framework OF the Florence
and Cripple Creek railroad shops is
now in position and workmen are
waiting for the arrival of the metallic
sides and roofing, which is expected
to arrive here on Friday from the
Eastern manufacturers. The new
shops are of the same dimensions as
the old one and will be as nearly fire
proof as human ingenuity can make
them. The frame work was erected by
the Pueblo Bridge company, but the
roof and sides will be put on by the
railroad people. A large amount OF
new machinery has been ordered in
the East, but none Of it has yet reach
ed here. In equipment and general
efficiency the shops here will have no
superior in the state.

A SUCCESSFUL SERIES
OF ENTERTAINMENTS

The Katherine Ridgeway Concert
company at the First Methodist church
Thursday night closed the Y. NJ. c. A.
Star entertainment course for the cur
rent year. Despite the very severe
cold from which Miss Ridgeway suf-
fered on the occasion of her visit here
the concert was an enjoyable one II
the applause which followed the rem
dition of the various numbers on the
program may be construed as an evil
dence of appreciation.
Miss Ridgeway's throat was extreme
ly sore and her voice in bad condition
in consequence. and less determined
person would have cancelled the en-
gagement here. She thanked the au-
dience for the very generous reception
extended to her by the people of Canon
City and expressed regret that her
elocutionary work must necessarily be
SO imperfect
AS a reader Miss Ridgeway is one OF
the most graceful and accomplished
seen here in long time and she may
be sure OF receiving a cordial welcome
whenever she may return to Canon
City in a professional capacity.
Miss Fay La Grange, pianiste. and
Donald Chalmers, baritone, the other
members OF the company. were artists
in their particular lines of work and
combined to make a more than ordin-
arily pleasing entertainment

ENTE1fAmxEN1s EMBED

The last of the Y. II. G. A. star
Coure entertainments was given by
the Katherine -Ridgeway concert COM
pany at the First Methodist church
Thursday night in the presence of an
assemblage of people which filled
every part OF the spacious auditorium
and connecting class and Sunday
school rooms.
There we're seven entertainments in
the Star Course series and all were
first class. AS rule they were gem
erously patronized by the public and
a financial surplus will be turned into
the association treasury as result.
While the primary object of the asso-
citation is to afford the people high
class entertainment at nominal cost,
1t is gratifying to those in charge
when the income from the sale Of
tickets Is sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of such an enterprise, which is
not always the case. The last two
years there has been small surplus,
which. however, may be needed to
cover the deficiency of some future
venture in this line.
The program committee is to be fell
icitated upon the excellence of its
judgment in the selection of talent,
and the holders of season tickets are
to be congratulated upon possessing
the privilege of attending seven first
class entertainments for an outlay of
only two dollars.

DON'T BE A KNOCKER
BETTER "SMILE AND PUSH"

Whenever there is a chance to boost
business, boost it. Don't pull long
face and look as though you had a
sour stomach. Hold your head up and
look for better things. Hide your little
hatchet and try to speak well of others
no matter how little or how big you
believe yourself to be.
When a stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is a fine town to live in
and so it is. Don't discourage him
by speaking i'll of your neighbors.
Lead him to believe that he has at last
found a community where only good
people live. Don't knock. Help your
self along by becoming popular. and
push your friends with you. It's very
easy. Be good fellow and soon you'll
have a procession of loyal followers.
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other peoples character or
business. No man ever got rich or
made a good name for himself by try
ing to make others believe he was
wiser and better than anybody else in
the community. You certainly, are
not that fellow. There are others, and
they are good people with plenty of
character and brains
There might be, in this best of all
worlds, only one absolutely virtuous,
all-wise mortal who never drinks, or
chews, smokes, uses cuss words, stays
at the club too late, goes to lodge too
often, kicks his dog, sasses his mother
in-law, and is correct from every point
of view. but he hasn't been located
yet.
No man can climb the ladder of sue
cess by treading on others corns.
Keep off the corns. If you have sur
plus energy to shoot away, fire it into
your own affairs. There's no end Of
fun minding your cwn business. 1t
makes other people like you. No one
admires knocker. Don't be one, but
act wisely and remember above all
things that the majority of people want
you to get your moneys worth in COM
fort and happiness and that the public
is willing at all times to listen to any
just or merited complaint you have to
make, but-don't knock.

DOING PRETTY SOON

Judging from the appearance of Dali

there is likely to be something "doin"

short distance of town very shortly

within a few miles OF town and Is
