ANALYSIS OF CITY'S MILK
SUPPLY SATISFACTORY

An analysis of samples of milk
taken from each of the seven dairies
located here and of the cream used
in making ice cream at Seely's, Mil
ler's, Keables and Nelson's, most Of
which is shipped in from outside
points, was made by DR.. Hill of Den
yer, state chemist, at the Office of DR..
F. N. Carrier, last Monday but the re-
suit was not obtainable until yester-
day. The analysis revealed no trace
of salycilic or boracic acids. formal
dehyde or other preservatives or adul-
terations. The samples Of milk tested
showed a proficiency in butter fats
amounting to more than three per
cent as required by law, and was in
all respects wholesome and healthful.

DIVORCES TO BECOME
CHEAPER IN THIS STATE

The divorce law passed by the last
General Assembly and signed by Gov
ernor Buchtel. went into effect today,
and in the future litigants in that
class of law suits will be at less eX-
pense in getting their cases before
the courts than they have hitherto eN-
perienced. The new law does away
with juries in divorce matters and of
appointive counsel in default cases.
Instead of increasing the number Of
divorces it is believed the new law
will act as restrictive measure, par
ticularly in those cases in which no
contest is made The abolition of the
Jury system so far as the divorce
business is concerned will commend
itself to the public.

of the property, but what they we're

Our faith in the Copper King"

Will McCurry who is employed by
the Seely Drug Company. fell from
his bicycle while coming down Pump
hill a few days ago and dislocated his
right shoulder. There had been a
shower a short time previously and the
road was slippery. hence his fall. He
was riding at a terrific rate at the
time of the accident, and that the re-
suit was not more serious is little
short of the miraculous. A broken
shoulder is, of course, extremely dis
agreeable, but is not by any means
as bad as a broken neck.

INDICATIONS FAVORABLE FOR
BIG CROP OF TOMATOES

An unusually large acreage was
planted to tomatoes by Canon City
gardeners last spring and the indica-
tions are that the crop will be the
largest in the history Of the commun-
ity. The weather has been favorable
for the plants during the last few
weeks and their growth has been very
rapid. There appears to be fewer in
sect pests this year than common to
trouble the tomato plant, and as a
consequence they have a healthy, Wig
orous look. that gives promise of an
tomato crop here last season was al
most a failure.

SAYS "COPPER" Boy WILL
SOON BE 4 PRODUCER

E. c. Hiatt and his associates, who
some time ago took a bond and lease
on the Copper Boy mining claim at

town. have sub-leased it to a Cripple
Creek man and steps have been taken
by the latter TO develop the property.
There never has been any doubt about
there being plenty of ore on the Cop

was whether it could be profitably
handled or not. The ore is low grade
and could not have been made re-
munerative ten years ago. but by the
cheapened processes of milling it is
believed that il can now be made to
