MORE COTTONWOOD TREES
REMOVED FROM STREETS

The cottonwood trees which have
stood on Sixth street. ding the east
of Baker & Biggs Mercantile COM
pany's place OF business for gener-
alton or more. have been cut down
and converted into stove wood.
greatly to the improvement Of the
surroundings. These old trees were
all right in their day. but they out
lived their usefulness and value and
it was proper that they should give
way before the advancing tide Of
business. Standing, as they did. 80
close to the sidewalk they were a
menance to pedestrians, and to We
hicles beneath them, especially dur
ing the winter season, when their
tops were likely to be clogged with
snow and their branches fall crashing
to the earth by the weight upon them.
With the exception of single rep
resentative in front OF the Central ho-
tel Main street has been denuded Of
the cottonwood trees. that formerly
lined it on either side, from Second
street eastward as far as the Colorado
Telephone company's building, dis
tance OF seven and a half blocks;
much of the cutting away having TAX
en- place during the last ten years or
so. In the residence portion Of the
town most OF the cottonwoods still re-
main, although q considerable number
OF them have been removed by the
axe of the inconclast within the last
two or three years. They are descend
ants OF pioneer days and bear mute,
but eloquent testimony Of a period
that has gone forever. Within another
decade or two at the most the maple
and elm will supercede the cotton
wood as the predominant shade trees
along the streets OF Canon City.

ed his very remarkable journey,w
ia sum equal to $4,000 in American

In telling the story of his travels
at the Daily Record ONCE Mikulec
said that he had already covered a
distance Of $500 miles and would
finish the circuit Of the globe on the
lines laid down by his friends at Ag-
ram, unless overtaken by Illness. a
thing he was taking every precaution
to avoid. Under the provisions of the
contract before leaving home Mikulec
is prohibited from begging. or receiv-
ing from any purpose, except, from
the sale of post cards, a supply Of
which he carries with him at all
times. He is required to mail a week

fishing house in Agram, which sent
him on the trip and which Is to pay
his $4,000 crowns II he succeeds in
his undertaking.
After leaving Croatia, Fikulec trav-
sled through Italy, France. Spain and
Portugal, sailing from Lisbon on the
1, German ship Calabria, to Cape Town,
South Africa, working his passage, as
he is compelled to do in travelling be-
tween different continents. From Cape
Town he went to Port Elizabeth and
sailed on an English steamer to Bahia
.. Blanca, Argentine. From there he
walked to Mindosa, but was not able
to get across the mountains to Chile,
On account of the deep snow. 1t was
while he was on his way to Buenos
Ayres that he nearly perished in the
desert.
J. At Buenos Ayres he met Nicholas
Mihanovich. a Croatian, and one Of
/ the richest men Of the country, the
owner Of about $50 steamers. BY him
he was we'll received. He left Buenos
Ayres about a year ago and walked
to Montevideo, Uruguay and then up
the coast to Santos, Brazil. Those
travels were very hard, as Mikulec
was almost eaten up at times by the
MOSQUITOES. He made his way to Rio

THE PRESIDENTS RIGHTEOUS
 ANGER

No bod- will blame President Roosevelt for any vigorous language he may have used or the perhaps still more vigorous thoughts he entertain- ed when it was brought to his atten- ton that the house had voted him two battleships without any provision for their construction
 Whatever may be thought of the president naval program, the houses method of thwarting it is open to some objections. and leads to wonder that the presidents request for four battleships was so strenuOusly Op- posed and so peremptorily refused. It would appear that that opposition was unnecessary; that the president might have been allowed four battle ships or forty, without increasing the deficit with which MT. Tawney has been terrifying his colleagues. Unless the naval bill is amended by an ap- propriation for the two battleships. they will constitute the cheapest men, of-war this country has talked about setting aflOat since w. c. Whitney be- gan the building up of the modern navy.
 There is one thing to be said how ever in ea~or Of the battleships as contemplated in the bill in its present form MT. Reuterdahl can find no fault. with thk location of the armor belt, the character of the ammunition hoists, the height of the decks or oth- CT things that offended the notions of that finical expert and marine painter

Ideal Religion.

The Rev. G. H. Gilbert, retired Congregational minister writes in- terestingly in the April Atlantic on Religion in an Ideal Commonwealth" and discusses More's Utopia in this aspect. He says in part: What we style denominatiOnalisn is thus kept out of sight. It is not allowed to di does not advertise itself by building six churches where only one is need
 ed. or by maintaining theological schools where an equipment adequate for the training Of five hundIe ed stu dents is squandered on fifty" And again Tt may be that if another Thomas More were to dream today of an ideal state. he would see the family invested with even larger significance for worship than t had in the old Utopia. He might indeed see the op- posite oc what We now behold. when the home is being emptied of its reli gious character and the church is largely regarded as the sole channel of worship. It might appear to him in his dream that the hOliest place in the cOmmunity was not that where the Gospel was officially proclaimed. but rather that where parents and children welcomed each new day with a glad hymn of praise. and in the evening twilight blended their voices in thanksgiving to Cod"

woMAN's GREATEST NEED.

Woman's greatest need at the pres ent time is a pocket that will be legally recognized by the courts, judging by the trend of recent court decisions. An English judge has just refused to rec ognize that a woman's stocking is the proper place for her purse, following the rule laid down by an Iowa judge some time ago when a plaintiff was non-suited from recovering damages from a railroad company for injuries received by falling down stairs on the company's premises while trying to withdraw her purse from her stocking The New York World regards this fail ure on the part of womankind to pro- vide herself with a rational pocket as an argument against her fitness for the ballot. A sex which cannot take care of its purse, it argues, is not fit to as sume control Of the public purse. This. we think, is going rather too far. when everybody knows that it is really the exigencies of fashion that deprive wo- man of pocket The fact that mans clothes blossom all over with pockets. while woman has none. can hardly be regarded as evidence of mental su- periority.

THE CITY ELECTION

, It is but a short time now until the city election when .councilmen from the second and fourth wards will be chosen. Though as usual in what may be called an off year city election, there has been little excitement, the since upon the result depends q con- tinuation of the excellent administrf- ton of city affairs we have been hay ing.
 MT Cisney of the fourth ward. who is a candidate for reelection, has con tributed largely to the regime with which all tax payers and those who favor higher municipal morality ap- prove. He has carefully looked after the interests of not onl:- his ward, but of the whole city. He has done those things which might be expected of business man. and has done none of those things which politicians often do as opposed to the best interests of the city. We believe that the fourth ward Is fully appreciatiVe of The good work of MT. Cisney and will return him for another two years. Much of the great work begun under the pres ent administration is not yet com pleted and for that reason alone as little change as possible should be made in the personnel of the council
 There will necessarily be a change in the second ward which proposes to send Dan McDermott. It could not make a better choice for MT. McDer- mott has long been a resident of the ward, is a successful business man. and has extensive property interests. By the election of Mir McDermott. the high standard set by the council two years ago will be maintained.

 We might as well have none at all Their armor is too light and low, Their turrets death traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely" And should they ever chance to meet Some real shipe in battle, Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle.

 hence
 That erstwhile Spanish nation? Was it the hand of Providence, Or was it gravitation? O Henry. go and soak your head, And then go buy book Entitled "U. s. History And OCT it's glorious pages look.
