PEOPLE SHOULD BE
COMPELLED TO CUT WEEDS

Richard HouIe favors a stringent
ordinance, vigorously enforced, against
the growth of weeds and grass along
the streets and irrigating bitches with
in the city limits.
The rank growth Of sweet clover
and other vegetation in some of the
residence sections of the town is
positive disgrace" said Mr.. Houle this
morning, and the city council ought
to pass an ordinance compelling pro-
perty owners and tenants to clean up
the streets in front Of their homes.
This thing OF relying on the civic
pride of people to keep the weeds
down is a very pretty theory. but 1t
don't work out in practice. The only
effective remedy Is a mandatory or
nance, enforced to the letter"
The weeds and grass along the
bitches and in the streets and alleys
are unsanitary. as we'll as unsightly.
and to permit such conditions to con-
dnue betrays an Incidence and care
lessness that is a reflection on the
thrift and prosperity Of our people.
The almost tropical growth OF vegeta-
ton to be seen along the drives and
sidewalks In some quarters OF the
town is a menace to the public health,
and more than anything else. is res
ponsible for the hay fever and similar
disorders from which SO many people
suffer. 4
Weeds and sweet clover are not
hard to get rid of and 1t Is surprising
what lot OF them can be put out Of
business by the man with the hoe In
the course Of an hours work. II cut
down this year they will not come
up SO thickly next season and their
determination IL q matter OF only
comparatively short time. Canon City
is naturally a very attractive COM
munity by reason OF its location, but
there is danger OF losing this advan-
tage by an Indifference to the care Of
our streets and public roads. II We
have not got an ordinance requiring
people to cut the weeds in front Of
their property the city council should
lose no time In passing one"

quilted OF the charge OF completely in
the murder of Governor Frank Steun-
enberg OF Idaho, passed through here
Sunday afternoon on Denver & Rio
Grande train No. 4 en- route from Salt
Lake City to Denver. The train was
running about an hour and a half late
and a large crowd OF people were at
the railroad station to greet the labor
leader on his arrival.
There was great curiosity to see
Mr.. Haywood and as soon as the train
came to a standstill there was a rush
OF people to the platform to congratu-
late him upon his vindication at Boise
In response to the heartiness OF his
greeting Mr.. Haywood came out Of
the car in which he was riding and
shook hands with several hundred
people, men and women vieing with
each other In bidding him welcome.
He was presented with bouquet OF
sweet peas by a little girl, whom he
took up in his arms and kissed.
He expressed himself as pleased
with the cordiality OF his greeting
here and said that he had been re-
ceiving the same kind Of receptions
all along the line, which he did not
regard 30 much as compliment to
himself as a tribute to the cause Of
labor in the victory 1t had achieved
at Boise City.
Mr.. Haywood Is looking we'll, al
though It Is apparent that he has
lately undergone a great mental strain
and anxiety.

magnificence OF the gorge and the
snow-capped Sangre de Christie range

Canon City People Have Absolute
Proof Of Deeds at Hone.
It's not words, but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney PiPlls
for Canon City sufferers have made
theih local reputation. Proof lies In
the testimony Of Canon City people
who have been cured to stay cured.
Mrs. c. P. Spencer. living at 40
Pike avenue, Canon City Colo, says:
-I still retain the same appreciation
of Doan's Kidney Pills now as when I
publicly recommended them three
eyars ago. Early in the winter Of 1908
my husband secured his nrst supply Of
this remedy at Hunter PPalmer's drug
store and after taking them for . short
time was cured Of pains across his
loins, a trouble which had caused him
considerable suffering, and especially
at such times when he lifted anything
OF brought any strain on the muscles
Of the back. That he derived lasting
benefits is evidenced by the tact that
he has never been bothered since and
when there has been the least indica-
don Of backache or weakness across
the loins an appeal to Doan's Kidney
pills has never failed to promptly and
absolutely remove the discontinue.
Ny own experience with them has
been very satisfactory, and I can al
ways depend on = few doses to give
me quick and positive relief from back
ache. Our SON showed symptoms Of
weak kidneys and after giving him
Doan's Kidney Pills the result was
most gratifying. His condition was
greatly improved by their use"

of the ninth day since leaving Manti,
the Salina party met them as they
were fighting their way through the
snow. The evening of the seven
teenth day from the time they began
the trip, they were back again in
Orangeville.
1t was the morning of the 24th OF
December that the word went out
through the settlement that the long
hoped for Christmas goods had at
last arrived. 1t was not much that
was brought across the mountains at
ter all, but you can we'll believe
that there was not a child in the
place but woke up wide eyed and
happy that Christmas morning for
the good saint, RENDERS and all, had
passed in the night and each found
a present in his or her stocking.

following morning they struck out
through the mountains. 1t had
stormed almost continuously all the
tim. and the snow was over ten feet
deep on the level. All the trails had
been obliterated, and again they had
to struggle through it by breaking
the trail in front of the animals, two
more horses being added to the band,
in order that they might carry suf-
fcient amount of supplies for ten
days journey, though they hoped to
make the trip in much less time.
Day after day passed by, and night
after night was passed in the snow.
Half the journey had been completed
when to their joy they met the out
fit or cattle man who was fighting
his way through to the Sewer valley.
He had train of oxen and had bro
ken the road nearly to the divide.
That night however the storm came
on heavier than ever and by the fol-
lowing morning all trail made by the
oxen had been obliterated Undaunt-
ed the two set out however, to fight
their way to their homes.
The next day as they were fight
ing on through the snow, one OF the
horses in passing along the trail they
had broken missed its footing and
rolled over and over into Salina river.
1t was one of the animals which was
loaded with the supplies. His load
being sugar and other groceries, was
nearly all ruined. Gathering up wha.
they could of the pack they helped the
horse to his feet and resumed their
journey.
Death constantly stared them in
the face as they fought their way
fool by foot through the snow. Their
families and friends had given them
I'D in despair, and searching partie:
were sent out in both canyons to see
if they could be found. The ont
which took the Straight canyon roat
got only as far as the abandoned
wagon, and returned to the settle
ment. They had found it impossible
