BUSINESS 6OOD WITH

Grant Dickinson, local agent for the
Wells Fargo Express company, Is
eminently satisfied with the volume Of
business being done through his office
and well he may be. as the extent OF
the company's transactions with Can
on City people has shown a steady
gain during the last few years. For
the month just closed there was col
lected on the in and out business Of
the Wells Fargo company here the
sum of $2,4S5.73, an increase Of $l02.06
over the month Of June, 1907, when the
collections were Sa.sSs.SS. In con-
sideration 'of the fact that there 10
practically no fruit being shipped
from here this year, usually an i'm
portant source Of revenue to the ex-
press companies, the showing made
by Mr.. Dickinson IL certainly . re-
markable one.
Apropos Of the above the Daily Rec

BUYING AWAY FROM HOME i
DOES NOT ALWAYS PAY

drayage they often cost more than
home goods.
The home merchant sells you only
what you want and need. The glib
salesman for the outside firm often
talks you into buying what you don't
want and do not need.
Your home merchant sells usually
only the best brands of goods, those
his long experience has proven are
entirely satisfactory to his customers.
The outsider often substitutes cheaper
brands and instead of saving monsy
you are losing It in using his goods.

John Bonn says we can put up about
as fine a show an ever and that It
would be . shame to drop the fair this
year.
r. Bachelor says he was In doubt
two months ago but now he In sure
we could get up a fine exhibition.
NJ e. Snow is enthusiastic about a
fair this year and Mr.. Snow has had
more to do with getting up fruit dis
plays for fairs than most anybody else
in this ssctioa.
A hundred fruit growers could be
quoted along this line.
The real estate men think It would
be great card to pull on fair and
show the people that all our fruit was
not killed. 1t has been pretty well
advertised that Canon City suffered
a complete loss of its fruit crop. To
get up a big fair and a reasonably
good exhibition OF fruit would do us
a lot OF good 1t would surprise many
who came and 1t would stiffen up
our people.
There are still lot of our people
who are badly discouraged over the
freeze. 1t would aelp these very peo-
pie to show them what has been raised
here this year.
1t is probable that II the fair is held
the dates will be changed about a
month later. This is to get a better
apple display We will have quite a
crop of later varieties Of apples md
these will show up better the last
week In September or the first week in
October than earlier.
However, II all depends on the COM
mIssioners. II they refuse to give the

A well attended meeting OF the MEM
bers of the Canon City Automobile
club was held at the Office of the Sc
cretary, DIR. Otis Orendorf, in the Bur-
rage block Thursday night and the
long discussed matter Of erecting
gLideboards at the Intersections Of the
public roads Of Fremont county final

the club has agitated the question OF
signboards for the country roads, in
'dicating the distance to Canon City,
Florence. Pueblo. Cripple Creek and
points of scenic interest in the noun
tains and has secured the co-opera-
sioners in the proposition.
The club members at first little
realized the magnitude Of the task
they had undertaken, but having TAX
en- 1t up, refused, to lay it down until
the work was done.
The county commissioners very gen.
erously agreed to pay the cost con-
nected with the purchase and letter
ing of the guideboards, also furnish
the posts upon which they are to be
erected. provided the club would see
to 1t that they were set up at the
proper places. This offer was accept

camp is a model Of its kind. being at

thing Is admirably administered and
the men express themselves as tho

shown no disposition to in any way
antagonize the rules laid down for
their government, indeed 80 greatly
pleased are they with their environ
ment that they are very careful to
observe all Of the regulations of the
camp.

That is what a lot Of people are ask
ing every day.
Right after the freeze there was
some sentiment In favor of skipping
another year, or giving up trying to
have a fair altogether, but sentiment
has grown greatly in favor Of fair
during the past six weeks.
About month ago Q big delesa-
ticn OF merchants waited on the d.
rectors OF the Fair association and
urged . fair.
The directors said they were willing
to do their part toward affair II the
county commissioners would give the
usual appropriation for premiums. The
eo@missioners at frst declined. Then
about nfty merchants and business
men went before the commissioners
and urged the appropriation.
The commissioners reconsidered
their action and took the matter under
advissment. They will decide the fate
OF the fair at their nrst meeting In
July-next week.
The directors of the fair say they
are willing to do just what the people
want.
They think II the county will give
the usual $1,000 for premius and the
city the usual $3.50 they can pull on n
good fair without asking the mer-
chants or anybody else for cent.
