Perhaps tonight as he makes his
nocturnal raid far above Canon City,
the crouching mountain lion or the
prowling coyote will see, in the
matchless Colorado moonlight, writ
ten on the blazed surface of mon
ster pine such as live now only far
above the limits of the wood-chopper,
the following names:
Little Alice White. Canon City, Colo.
Miss Nina McGilvra, Des Moines, la.
Miss Elizabeth Weinheimer, Mariet-
ia, Ohio.
Miss Nellie Stiers, Athens. Ohio.
Mr.. Karl l. Meigs, Orwell, Ohio.
Mr.. -, Ohio.
Two hundred or more people on
Thursday visited the Ohio picnic
grounds, three-fourths Il that num-
ber lunched on the edge of Dynamite
Park, overlooking the approach to
Ohio canon. A few under Col. Blan-
chard cracked egg shells above the
six ladders. About twenty, with la
dies in the majority, reached the old
deserted camp of the Hubeel Spangler
Mining company where H. & S. drove
two tunnels, drift and a w1nze, IN
the days of the Fremont Peak gold ex-
citement. and wheh young Spangler,
one lonely afternoon in midwinter,
thawed out giant powder in his camp
stove. The next morning with the
help of six men and a few ropes
Spangler left the camp on stretch
or one just as good, removed eighteen
pieces of stove pipe, camp stove and
cooking tools, from the young mans
carcass. Oh, Yes, he is alive today,
God bless him! but he is not thawing
giant any more.
Six, only six, of the two hundred,
four of them brave and fair, one OF
the four only years old, two OF the
six glad and proud to act as escorts,
made their way through the upper
canon and scaled the dizzy walls OF
the amphitheater to the top. But
the six felt more than paid for the
hard climb, when four mountain sheep
startled from their usual solitude,
stood for a moment in wonderment,
then bounded of to other solitudes in
the region of the grand canon hills,
doubtless the same old boy and girls
who ventured much nearer Canon
City a few years ago. Yes, this with
the grand view that reached them
from Pixies Peak clear around to the
ever changing lines of the old Sangre
de Cristo, still in white, more than
made I'D for worn shoes and tattered
skirts.
In behalf of the committee on
grounds it may be said that 1t was
their wish to make the event one that
would bring Canon people in closer
touch with the really wonderful sights
within half days journey of Canon
City But In this they failed, for the
crowd would not climb for it, and in
stead of being pocket picnic" 1t

THE RAILROAD INCOME.

The railroad commission of Texas
in public statement says that the
reported eight million decline in the
net income of the railroads in Texas
is due not to loss in traffic or an
increase in operating expenses, but a
change in the method of bookkeep-
ing: that the actual revenue and the
actual expenses of the fiscal year just
closed compared with the year pre-
vious show loss of only one-half of
the eight million.
The surprising feature of the rail
road reports is not the decline in the
earnings; it is in the vast apparent
increase in the operating expenses in
the face of decreased earnings. This
is not all accounted for by alleged
supplies, for compared with the year
preceding these items have not been
as a rule largely augmented.
The statement from the Texas COM
mission throws light on the general
reports. Ii states a different form of
bookkeeping is required by the inter-
state commerce commission, and II is
on this new basis that these reports
are made. whereas the comparison
is upon the old basis. at least for the
state of Texas.

SAME MILLINERY DESIGNS
FOR YOUNG AND OLD WOMEN
Black and White Hats With Medium-sized Crowns

The new 1905 hats, with medium crown
and brm covered with heavy silk or

of breasts and wings. are styles for the
mfddle-aged woman. and exactly the same
designs. with perhaps wider brims or a
larger flare, are the very latest lmpofta-
ton for younger matrons.
Very few shapes are seen with the
straight brim. but when it is in evidence
II is found to be narrower than those
worn during the summer.
The new shape, however, has a
slightly rolling brim, with decided flare

well with pretty gray or white hair, is
