ers in the proposition to reclaim the
semi-arid lands east of this city, left
Colorado Springs Tuesday morning
for New York to confer with Harry
Blackmer, Chas. NJ. MacNeill and

be raised before anything can be done.

EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BOOST
FOR A BETTER CANON CITY
The Opening Up New Fruit Lands
Towns GroWth-and the Means Are at Hand

A score of good strong reasons could
be given why every resident of Canon
City should boost for the town, in fact
we know of no other community in
Colorado where so much really first
class material for the booster is to be
had as is the case here.
Our climate, location and environ
ment is the best in the state and must
ultimately attract to US a large and
prosperous population.
There are other resources besides
those enumerated that must inevitably
contribute to the growth of the town,
among which may be mentioned the
broad acres" which stretch out to the
north and east of US that only await
the magic influence of water to BIOS
som as the rose. These broad acres"
are to be put under irrigation during
the next year or two and their fertility
exploited for the public good. This
prospective gain should be one of the
strong texts for our boosters, for it is

sources of our future wealth and pros
perity. 1t cannot be used too often as
the basis for a commercial sermon.
1t is perpetually new and should be
preached in season and out of season.
A live, prosperous and public spirit
ed community is more desirable as a
place of residence than one that is
overgrown with the MOSES and weeds
of dullness and conservatism. Every
citizen ought to be interested in the
growth and progress of the town in
which he makes his home. One of the
best means Of helping it along is to
speak we'll OF 1t and of the people
who compose it. 1t is true patriotism
to stand by your own town and to de-
fend its reputation whenever it is as
sailed.
Canon City possesses all of the ele-
ments of material greatness, and II
those who should be its friends boost
for it at all times the high destiny for

commemoration of her eightieth BIRTH

been given to Mrs. Clark of the in

enjoyable If possible on that account.
Miss Grettle Vaughn assisted in re-
ceiving the guests, and much of its
success as a social gathering was due
to her efforts. Delicious refreshments
were served. Among those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Shepherd,

At the regular meeting Of the City
Council Monday night Alderman U. s.
Okey submitted the following PROPOSE
ton to that body:
Canon City, Colo, Jan. Z, 1907.
To the Mayor of Canon City, Colo:
Gentlemen,-I hereby offer the sum
of $4,000 for all of the property and
water rights as purchased by the City
of Canon City on Cottonwood creek.
Fremont county, Colorado, certified
check for $4,000 accompanies this
offer herewith, the same to apply on
purchase price as accepted, balance
to be paid on or before one year, with
interest at 6 per cent per annum on
deferred payments.
U. 8. OKEY.
On motion the proposition Of Mr.
Okey was referred to the finance COM
mittee for consideration. The amount
paid by the city for the property re-
ferred to in the communication was
$SS,500.
The finance committee is composed
of okey, Hyssong and Bancroft. The
committee will beyond doubt recon-
mend the sale of the water to Mr.
okey. The talk on the street is prin-
cipally in favor of the sale. 1t Is
generally felt that the people turned
down the Cottonwood proposition In
the late election and do not want 1t.
So II the city can get out from under
at a gain, 1t is generally thought wise
to do so.
Ordinance No. 2, series Of 1907, pro-
yiding for an election to be held by
the qualified voters Of the city in con-
junction with the regular bi-annual
election to determine the advisability

system OF Canon City was read In full

adopted.
A petition signed by number OF

that the sum of $3.50 be appropriated
from the proper fund for payment to
Mrs. Cora Richardson for the right o.

fruits and vegetables that net the
grower from $500 to $1,000 an acre,
and then We will have added to the
community's yearly income something
like 100000.
When we bring a resident to the
town who must enter business or look
about for some one else's job, we make
a doubtful gain, and 1t is questionable
how far a town should go in seeking
that kind of immigration.
But when we sell to a retired farm
er or other from an eastern state a
five or ten acre tract OF undeveloped
fruit lands and he brings his family
and his money here and develops the
land we have added wealth to the
community and people TO the popula-
ton who are more than self-sustain-
ing.
II is the one sure way to build up
this community-to get more land un-
der water, for it viii surely be peo-
pied by people from away.
This home building on formerly
desert lands has been the greatest
source of our wealth. and our lands
support more people than all other
enfernrises To add 90 per cent more
territory to the community means to
add SO per cent more to our population
So The Record believes that this
enterprise should have the heartiest
co-operation from everybody-and not
d knock from anybody.

London, April 27.-Lord Gwydyr. the

the Oldest member Of the House oi
Lords, was ninety-seven years old to
day. He enjoys remarkably good
health for man of his years, and con

ancient family, though it was only in
1898 that they were raised to the
peerage. For forty years Lord Gwy.

Lord Gwydyr attributes his longe.

things, he inherited superb consti-
tuition and has always taken good care
of it. eating and drinking in modera-
ton and taking plenty of outdoor ex-

in any form.
Lord Gwydyr has lived in five reigns

SOME OF THE FREAK ACTS AND
EccERTRsciTiEs OF THE
MONSTER

Munich, April With little visi-
BILE change apparent either in his men
tai or physical condition since he as
cended the throne of Bavaria twenty
two years ago the mad King Otto to-
day entered upon the sixtieth year Of
his life. For many years he has never
seen outside the grounds of Fuerston-
ried CASTLE. He has been hopelessly
insane since the summer of 1884, his
kingdom being ruled by a regent, yet
the royal title is still vested in the
useless piece of clay surrounded by
host of lackeys and servants, who APP
proach and serve their insane moster
with all outward signs of homage and
respect, while they and all the world
know of his utter decay-for he is the
king. Use
Reports from time to time have had
it that the King has become worse.
Those in position to know, however,
state that this is not true and that
there has been little change in his
condition since he assembled the throne
He was hopelessly insane then as he
is now. His lucid intervals always
have been few and of short duration
He is totally ignorant of his terrible
affliction and converses on subjects
referring to his immediate surround
ings logically and with volubity of
speech. When at his worst his at
tendants have the greatest difficulty
to prevent him filling his mouth with
whatever he can lay hands on, and
when out walking in the park he has
been discovered devouring grass or
leaves, and even filing his mouth with
earth. Occasionally he will invite
the gentlemen Of his court to dinner,
and, while they are discussing the
meal, will himself stand with the ser
wants and stealthily nibble at the
'dainties within his reach.
