FUTURE PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR REALTY BUSINESS IN CANON

the various irrigation enterprises re-
Gently launched in this county. in
consequence of which a large acreage
of productive soil tributary to the
community will be put under cultiva-
ton. This new land will attract many
residents to Canon City and must
necessarily stimulate the general
prosperity and augment the price of
real property OF all kinds within Its
borders.
Another factor in the growth Of
Canon City will be the advertising 1t
has received during the last two or
three years. The advantages and at
fractions of this part OF the Arkansas
valley have been widely heralded
within the period alluded to and are
destined to bring results In larger

4 VISIT THAT Is WELL
WORTH THE WHILE

There are no doubt many people in
Canon City who have not yet visited
the new City Park. which extends
along the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road tracks from First to Third street.
To those who have not done 20 our
advice Is do II now" Such h trip
will be to many people a revelation.
and will show what can be done by
intelligent treatment In Transforming
n waste into a beautiful and attractive
pleasure ground.
A fine lawn has been started, shrubs
and trees planted and flower beds es-
tablished. II is a monument TO the
Civic Improvement League and is a
splendid example of what may be ac-
complished in park making under the
most unpromising surroundings. II
you have not taken a walk through
the City Park you have missed one OF
your privileges and should hasten to
make all amends in your power. The
City Park Is destined to become u
popular public pleasure ground.

Following this came the consider
alton of your material resources, l
found first the thing for which 1 had
been long searching for, to-wit:
Boundless opportunity for fruit cul-
ture, this in itself was sufficient to
induce me to locate here, but l little
dreamed then of the unbounded pos
sibilities of agriculture that lie in
this valley.
As a community we have not come
to realize on-tenth part of what may
be attained in the development of the
crops now found profitable, in the
enlargement of its culture along the
lines suggested at the last monthly
meeting of your association and in
the subjugation of large tracts OF
land now idle and largely profitless.
This community has, in its agri-
cultural possibilities alone enough to
make 1t a community of untold wealth,
but add to this it's unrecognized and
undeveloped possibilities of manufac-
ture, boundless stores OF mineral
wealth and you have a community
that, regardless of every retarding
element, must grow and continue to
grow increasing in material wealth
as time goes on.
So therefore it is befitting that 1
congratulate you as a Business Mems
Association upon the splendid pos
sibilities before you and upon the fact
that you recognize them and I con-
graduate, myself upon the superb
privilege that is mine OF being num-
bered as one of you in cooperating
with you for the growth and prosper
ity of our beloved community.

port of an association that is doing
all In Its power to build up the town,
by buying tickets NOW. or will you

We believe you will be loyal to the

Some have subscribed for one, saying
they will probably want more later.

Real estate agents about town re-
port considerable activity in their line
of business and say that more inquiry
is being made at present by non-resi-
dents for property in Canon City and
vicinity than at any time for several
months. A large number of sales have
been made within the last few weeks
and every day letters are received
from people in the Eastern states
asking the prices OF both city and
ranch property. While there has been
no marked advance In the price of
property In the Canon City district
during the last year. there Is ten
dency towards an appreciation In
value and It Is probably cheaper now
than It will be twelve months hence,
or at any time In the future for that
matter.

perty in Canon City and its surround
ings must increase In value within

| HONE GROWN RAsPBERRIEs
ON MARKET NEXT WEEK

The strawberry crop OF the Canon
City district has nearly all been mar
keted. although they will continue to
come to town In dimishing quantities
for nearly week yet The yield has
been a very light one. and despite the
high prices paid to growers has not
brought more than half the usual
revenue into the community. The
strawberry crop is reported to have
been small one in nearly all parts
OF the country this year.
Home grown raspberries will be In
the market next week and will be fol-
lowed by currants and gooseberries.
The raspberry crop promises to be
q fairly good one. but the yield OF
currants and gooseberries will be
much less than usual.

TWO MORE TRUSTEES
TAKE TO THE WOODS

A couple of Mexican convicts, Macs,
No. s27s, and Morales, No. SITS, on the
prison rolls, escaped from the peni-
'tentiary farm on Four Mile creek ON
Thursday night and Warden Cleghorn
has offered a reward of one hundred
dollars for the arrest of each Of them.
How they managed to escape is not
known. as their absence was not dis
covered until this morning. but 1t is
supposed they took their departure at
an early hour of the night. They went
to the Stump ranch, broke into the
house and stole a suit of clothes a
piece. which they substituted for their
prison garb. Guards are out looking
for them but up to noon today no
trace of the missing men had been
found. Sentence in each case would
have expired in few months.

TELLS THE REASONS WHY HE
CANE no CANON CITY,

The following letter from Chas. E.
Rowcliffe was addressed to Secretary
D. w. Ross, of the Canon City Mer-
chants Association, and was intend
ed to be read at the banquet at the
ST. Cloud hotel Monday night, but on
account of the length of the program
was withheld. Mr.. Rowcliffe has
keen appreciation of the advantages of
Canon City as place of residence and
in the subjoined letter gives reasons
for the faith that's in him.
Canon City, Colo, June "a, 1907.
D. W. Ross, Secretary,
Dear Sir
1t is a matter of real regret that l
realize that l am to be prohibited from
attending the second of our monthly
banquets. But broken limbs are not
easily moved about and l apprehend
you have not the facilities for accom-
modating reclining guests.
l would like, however, to take the
opportunity to congratulate the Busi-
ness Mems Association upon its
splendid possibilities. 1t has been my
privilege to be witness to the results
obtained in endeavors. made at far
greater cost and with less of real un-
developed possibilities behind them.
1t is a happy omen when as leaders
of the merchants interests of a COM
munity the business men openly rec
ognize the value of their resources
and possibilities of their surround
ings
The principles of successful indi-
vidual business management applied
to community interests must bring
like results. That principle as l see
it, is embraced in these three ele-
ments, strict integrity" recognized
resources" and publicity" The ele-
ment that first led me to favor loca-

MAYOR SEELY'S TOAST
ON TOWN ADVERTISING

Following is a part OF what Mayor
A. Fl. Seely said at the Merchants As
ISOLATION banquet about advertising
the town. What he said about adver-
Using a business is worth noting:
There are few affairs connected
with the town deserving of more at
tention than advertising.
My convictions on the subject come
not from any expert knowledge from
advertising a municipality but from
the experience in my every day busi-
ness.
This in an age of progress. of ex-
pansion, of advertising. Show no
patience with the merchant who says
he does not believe in advertising or
with the dealer who says advertising
is a waste of money.
The man who says that he can sell
goods on their merit alone cheats not
only himself but keeps many people
in ignorance of the fact that he sells
his goods on merit
We may have ever so many advant-
ages: we may have better climate,
better schools. better churches, bet
ter social conditions, but are we to
make them known? What will be the
best manner OF getting the publicity
we desire? That is the question.
In advertising a retail business you
cannot reap full benefit from your
advertising unless your store Is up
to-date. You must deliver the goods,
and l will say unhesitatingly. that
we must have an adequate and a
sufficiently good supply OF water for
domestic purposes else much Of our
effort in advertising must necessarily
be wasted. You must not get the
cart before the horse nor let the ad-
vertis!ng lead the town but let the
town lead the advertising.
1t is better to have people come in
to our town and be surprised, than to
have them come and be disappointed,
not finding what the advertising had
led them to expect.
Now as to the method--it Is not a
question of selecting many mediums
that are good, but rather the very
few that are best
