HOBSON INFORMS

Washington, Dec. 24.-In an arti-
Gle, copyrighted by the United Press.
Captain Richard 2. Hobson, repre-
sentative, dealing with the recent
criticisms of the navy by Henry Rem
terdall admits that Renterdall has
done a great service to the United
States by calling attention to the APP
parent weaknesses; but he says Off
hand condemnation of the whole
navy is not warranted by the facts.
Hobson makes the statement that a
larger navy is needed. IN handling
Renterdalfs criticisms, he says the
United States 10 profting by the ex-
perience and that many of Renter
dalrs statements are technical. Con-
cluding. Hobson says the criticisms,
should not shake the American peo-
pies confidence in their navy, as a
battle is the only test. This test, he
says, would find that the American
fleet would give good account of
itself.

Colorado finishing. On account of
the "ool which sheep carries, it
is not easy to detern in, from a
long range, the extent to which an
individual sheep ! possesses this
heavy tleshed quality. A sheep
buyer in the pens at our large
markets, goes along through a car
load of sheep and with one open
hand. feels as many as possible of
the animals just above the dock.
Experience has taught him that
an animal full and plump in this
part will carry double amount of
muscle throughout the carcass.
Other judges prefer to feel the
sheep with both hands just where
the neck joins the shoulders. A
full, plump feeling there is of the
same value as that of the dock.
The buyer also feels each animal
for the amount of fat covering the
bone of the loin. This is gnide
to condition or fatness. A heavily
muscled lamb may have to sell
at a low price because its carcass
is not sufficiently fat to insure
that flavor and juicy quality which
characterizes the flesh of well-fed
animals. On the other hand, the
lamb showing much fat may b.
Disseminated against because of
having too little muscle in pro-
portion to the fat. While it is not
practicable for the buyer to care
fully examine even a majority of
the sheep in single consignment,
quick examination of a few indi-
viduals enables him to judge the
character of the stock. While we
are very much interested in the
lamb that goes TO market, as feed
ers we are especially interested in
the points which should be ex.
hibited in animals calculated to
produce these lambs most quickly

About Lambs

The highest priced lamb on the
market is one fully fattened at n
weight of from eighty to ninety
five pounds and what constitutes
fully fattened in sheep is very diff
ferent from that required in cattle
or swine. Fat mutton is more
distasteful to the consumers than
is fat beef or pork. While the
lamb should not be excessively
fat. there should be a sufficient
amount of muscle contained in the
carcass to satisfy the consumers
who buy from the retail market.
The hind quarters of "a lamb are
much more valuable than the back
and fore parts, so that while con-
formation that will give the high
est percentage of weight in valua-
BILE parts is necessary, it must also
have that heavy tieshiug character
istic combined with disposition
to mature and be sufficiently
fat at weight of ninety pounds to
bring eight cents pound such as

THE METHODIST
CHOIR CONCERT

The concert given by the Methodist
choir under the direction Of Mr. Eich-
horn last Tuesday evening deserves
special mention for several reasons.
Not merely was the performance note
worthy because 1t was OF a higher
standard than Is usual In towns of
this size, but Judged by any standard
It could not be pronounced other than
successful. The character Of the pro-
gram offered and the finish Of the per-
formance reflected credit on the chorus
and its conductor.
The chorus was at its best In the
FAIRY Song" by Zimmerman, and In
Gounod's "Gallia." The delicacy and
lightness with which the choir sang
tho Fairy Song" were delightful. the
mems voices being especially good.
la6endelasohn's Spring Song" given
by women's voices, was . novelty. This
number was originally o piano solo.

though the accompaniment was good.
Miss Coolbaugh deserves praise for
her work at the piano during the en-
tire evening. Few realize the import
ance OF an accompaniment, and the
part 1t plays in the success Of a per-
formance.
verdi's Spirit Immortal" sung by
Mr.. and Mrs. Echhorn, Mr.. Cleveland,
and double quartet. showed excellent
finish. A slightly faster temo might
have increased the effect.
The last number. and the climax Of
the program. was Gounod's "Gallia."
Mrs. Eichhorn's solos in this were
splendid and the singing Of the choir
In the last two choruses was magnifi-
cent and worthy OF highest praise. We
have seldom heard music more uplift-
ing than the nnal chorus, Jerusalem.
o Turn Thee" "Gallia" was one Of
Gounod's highest Inspirations and the
choir evidently caught the spirit Of the
composition.
Canon City should be proud OF the
fact that she Is able to produce such
concert as this one. and should con-
graduate herself on possessing such
an able and brilliant musician as Mr..
Eichhorn. to whom the success Of the
performance was mostly due.

Portland, Ore, May 27, 1907.
Mr.. Eli Elrod, Canon City, Colo.
Dear Sir: 1t was my intention every
day to write you fully, but kept put
ting it off, hoping for something fav-
orable to say. For the first two or
three days the doctors had consider
able hopes, but Saturday when 1 wired
you, they had just told me that they
did not believe that he could recover.
He was frightfully crushed in his
hips and groin by being caught be-
tween the couplers as he was trying
to pass from one side of the track to
the other as the cars were coming to-
gether. He was very brave and bore
up wonderfully, and it was because he
had such strong vitality that the doc
tors were encouraged to believe that
he might pull through. He had work.
ed for this company but seven days.
and while did not have the oppor-
tunity Of meeting him, his associates,
with whom he was working, speak
very highly Of him and say that he
was a very promising young man. You
have the heartfelt sympathy Of his fel-
low employees and the ohicials of this
company.
Mr.. Warren. one Of his fellow work
men, will start with the remains to-
morrow night and this letter should be
twenty-four hours IN advance. I will
instruct Mr.. Warren to wire you from
Salt Lake in order that you will know
what train to expect him on.
Yours very truly,

DIR, J, L. PRENTISS
DIED IN SEATTLE

A telegram addressed to George A
Prentiss was received here from Seat
tie Saturday morning, announcing
the death of his father, DR.. ]. L.
Prentiss, in that city, on Friday,
where he had been sojourning for
some time with view of recuperating
his health, which had been waning for
a long period.
DR.. and Mrs. Prentiss left here five
or six months ago for southern Cali
fornia with the hope that the less Wig
orous climate Of that section would
enable the former to regain his
strength and vitality and they spent
the winter months at San Diego and
Los Angeles The anticipated bene1t,
however, was not realized and they
sailed from San Diego for Seattle to-
wards the end of April, where they
have since been visiting DR.. Prentiss'
son. Marion, and Mrs. Prentfss' son,
Frank Ramsden.
While it was known that DR.. Prem
. tiss' condition was serious it was not
believed to be critical and the an
nouncement of his death this morning
was a great shock to his friends.
DR., Prentiss was born in Norwich.
N. Y, June 9Th, 1912, and soon after
moved with his parents to Kansas
Most of his boyhood was spent at
Lawrence in that state, where he won
a reputation among his companions by
his daring and courageous nature. His
father was a physician and druggist
and he worked in the drug store
studying medicine at the same time.
When the Civil war broke out he
Joined the Union army and was medi-
cal cadet in 1868. For his services he
was made surgeon of the First Kansas
Volunteers and was the youngest man
holding that position in the United
States. He was graduated from Rush
Medical College in Chicago and took
an ad eundum degree in Bellevue hos
pital, New York, in 1867, and then had
charge of the general hospital at Tale
Quah, Cherokee Nation, for six months
He came to Canon City in 1872 and
soon became prominent factor In
the upbuilding of the community. Soon
after his arrival here he opened drug
store in a building that stood on the
site of the restaurant now owned by
James Pennington at 304 Main street
engaging at the same time in the prac-
tice of his profession.
Robert 8. Lewis, who came here in
1873, obtained employment as a clerk
in DR.. Prentiss' drug store and re-
mained with him in that position for
several years. The drug business es-

that the superstructure OF the pro-
posed building be made strong enough
