CANON CITY MAN WANTS TO
MARRY AN IOWA GIRL

Mayor Lightner was much surprised
and interested while going through
his yoluminous mail this morning
when he found an envelope with a
Canon City postmark and read this:
Canon City, Colo, Nov. 23, 1907.
To the Mayor of Grand Rapids, Iowa:
Dear Sir-Do you happen to know a
thoroughly sensible young woman who
would marry young man of good hab-
its and who would be willing to come

per?
Yours truly,

Bank of Canon City for any informa-
ton regarding my character or finan-

letters addressed to Canon City, Colo,
tomorrow morning. 1t is suggested to
those who wan to preempt what
seems to be good claim that the use

ness trip to various points in the MIS-
sissippi valley. He spent several days

MUST NOT CUT CHRISTMAS
TREES ON PUBLIC LANDS

Governor Buchtel has issued proc
lamation warning all those who are
contemplating the cutting of need
less number of trees for Christmas
decoration that prosecutions will fol-
low in all cases where the offenders
are apprehended. The proclamation is
especially for the purpose Of protect
ing timber on state school lands, and
for the information of district people
it is given herewith in full:
THE wholesale destruction of small
evergreen trees at this most joyous
season of the Christian year Is form
of vandalism which is utterly out of
harmony with the true spirit of the

growing. 1t has been plated in ten
and twenty acre tracts and will be sold
10 per cent down and the balance due
in annual payments of 10 per cent of
the total. 1t is understood the land
carries perpetual water rights, and it
is the intention of the promoters to
eventually place 10000 acres on the
market. A townsite has been located
and the lots will shortly be placed on
the market.
Mr.. Matlock will be the geneI al sales
agent for the company. The retiring
traffic manager came to the district
first in 1900 as commercial agent for
the Colorado & Southern and since
that time he has been employed by
every railroad interested in the Cripple
Creek district traffic and for the past
three years has been at the head of
the traffic department of the allied
roads. His retirement will be univers-
ally regretted by all who have busi-
ness with the district lines, in whose
service he has been efficient, accom-
modating and deservedly popular. He
has ever been a booster and never a
knocker and his friends are only lin
tied by the number of his acQuaint-
ances.
Mr.. Matlock will take active charge
of his new duties January 1 with head
quarters at Canon City. He stated last
night that while he regretted leaving
the railroad service in which he has
spent twenty-three years OF his life,
the offer Of the land company was 80
fiattering that he could not In justice
to himself refuse it."

| Christmas festival. An evergreen tree
on the moutain side Is valuable to all
our people.
"It has not only a value in the pre-
servation of our water supply, but also
in making the mountains attractive
both for our own people and for tour
lists who are disposed to make Colo
RADIO the play ground of the nation.

tastic decorations. it is quite possible

"It is clearly my duty t. prevent the
destruction OF trees on the state school
land. 1t is therefore,
Ordered, that all persons are prohib-
tied from destroying or mutilating any
trees on the state school lands which
are held in trust by the state for the
benefit of the boys and girls of the
future. All patriotic people are most
earnestly requested to report to me the
names and addresses Of trespassers on
school lands in order that proper legal
steps may be taken to prevent this
form of valdalism."
Those people who object to- the at
titude of Governor Buchtel on the
ground that it is an invasion of their
personal rights should remember that
the annual timber cut in Colrado. as
all over the west, is greatly in excess
of the annual supply and that the time
is certain to come, unless methods rad
ically change, when there will be no
trees of any kind on the mountain
sides. The old saying that "Willful
waste makes woeful want" has no bet
ter illustration than the denuded hills
of this state where not so many years
ago were stately trees and promising
saplings.
Evergreens add greatly to Christmas
cheer and there is no reason why every
one that wants it should not have a
Christmas tree. but there should be no
useless waste and care should be taken
in cutting so that the tree is not de-
stroyed, root and branch.
