A Significant Meeting.

The meeting OF the chairman Of the
Republican national committee and The
western members OF that committee
at Colorado Springs is a significant
happening. No better evidence of the
changed Importance of the great West
could be produced. Twenty years ago
the territory from which these leaders
come was practically a wilderness. 1t
had no political Importance The states
of North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana. Wyoming. Utah, Idaho. Wash
ington and Oklahoma did not exist.
The territory west of the Missouri
river was a negligible quantity polit-
ically. Today Appearances are that

out in this territory.
In 1888 the political campaign was
confined to New York, Connecticut and
Indiana. Every other state was rea-
sonably certain for one side or the
other. Upon those three states de-
pended the question Of whether Grover
Cleveland or Benjamin Harrison. would
be elected. All three OF them had
given their vote to Grover Cleveland
in 1884. In 1888 New York and Indian /.
went for Harrison by a slender ma
jority and Connecticue remained loyal
to Cleveland. Today Connecticut is
Of no great Importance in the po-
lttical campaign. New York and In
diana are no longer sole arbiters In
the quadrennial campaign for votes.
What is true politically is also true
commercially. The center Of popula-
ton has shifted in twenty years from
east Of the Alleghanies to central In
diana. In another ten years 1t viii.
have reached the Mississippi river,
and who can predict where 1t will b,
at the end Of another quarter Of a
century? Perhaps the very poin.

mittee is now in session viii be near

spring that Canon City's fruit crop
was practically destroyed by the frost.
this has proven to be very much to the
contrary. bu fine lot of fruit of var
ious varieties and encouraging re-
ports brought into the Daily Record
office within the last month. Not long
ago Mr.. Peter Richter brought In a
very fine display of gooseberries and
red currants. The bushes were laden
with the fruit. Less than a week ago
Mr.. N. H. Endsley brought in some
lucious peaches which he had raised
on his fruit farm in East Canon. They
were of nice size and a delicious
flavor. Yesterday Mr.. C. H. Kissinger
OF Lincoln Park told the Daily Record
reporter that he had sold $6O2.48
worth of asparagus, which was raised
from only one acre of ground.

SOME GOOD WAYS TO

ways there are in which the fruit may
be served, that perhaps d few we'll
chosen recipes would not be amiss,
says the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for August
watermelons should lie ON the ice
for at least four hours before they are
eaten. Wipe the meloa clean when
removed from the ice. cut or slice at
each end of the watermelon. then cut
through the center; stand on end on
platter. and slice down, allowing each
slice a part of the center or heart.
For frozen watermelon. take two
quarts OF rich cream and two teacup-
fuls Of sugar: mix well together. and
put into freezer, with ice and salt
packed around 1t. Have ready one
quart of watermelon. with seeds all
removed, and cut in small pieces.
When the cream is very cold. stir them
In and freeze all together.
For watermelon sherbet, boil four
cupfuls of water and two cupfuls Of
sugar for ten minutes: add two table,

Insomnia, feel 1t to be my duty to
report what happened. SO far as I am
able this morning to recall the details.

right. I did go to sleep very soon
after my retirment Then a friend
