FOUNDATION LAID FOR THE
NEW HOSPITAL At PRISON

Work was begun a few days ago
upon the proposed hospital building
at the penitentiary for which the last
legislature made an appropriation of
$4,000. The building will have a
length of one hundred and Nine feet
and will be constructed of un-
dressed limestone. in conformity with
the new cell house. In addition to
giving more capacious hospital quar-
ters for the treatment of ordinary dis
eases II will afford means for segre-
eating the tubercular- affected prison
ers and the mildly insane. for which
no provision has heretofore been
made.
1t will also contain a convalescent
ward and will be equipped with every
facility for the care and treatment OF
the sick. The building will be located
in the eastern part OF the prison en-
closure and will be ready for occupan-
cy in six or seven months.

MINER KILLED AT
WILLIAMSBURG THURSDAY

George Poke, colored, was acciden-
tally killed in the Magnet cnaa mine at
Williamsburg between II and IL
Wednesday night in consequence Of a
heavy piece of slate falling on him
from the roof of the room" in which
he was at work. Coroner Whitmore
was informed of the occurrence this
morning and visited Williamsburg for
the purpose of investigating the af-
fair. Death was so palpably the re-
suit of accident that it was decided
not to put the county to the expense
of jury. A heavy slab of rock had
dropped from the roof upon Poke
while he was engaged in shoveiing
coal into a car, smothering him to
death. He was about IS years of age
and was unmarried. Poke came to
this county from Alabama, his native
state.

sfis NM INQUIRIES FOR
CANON CITY PROPERTY NOW

Real estate dealers report an un-
usual number of inquiries for property
in the Canon City district this spring
and they are looking forward to year
|os exceptionally good business. Scores
of letters from eastern people asking
about property here pass through the
local postoffice every day and many
of their writers indicate their intention
of making a visit here next summer
II proper inducements are held out to
them to do SO.
The advertising Canon City has re-
ceived during the last few years is
beginning to bear fruit and a consid-
cradle stream of immigrants will be
diverted in this direction in conse-
quence of it. The special rates given
by the railroad lines to homeseekers
which went into effect the first of the
current week. will attract hundreds of
people to Colorado and Canon City
will get its share of them A great
many eastern people accustomed to
cheap agricultural lands OF that sec
ton of the country cannot understand
why ranch and orchard property here
should command such high prices and
do not invest on that account. They
do not comprehend the fundamental
feature Of its value. and that is that
under irrigation there is no failure Of
crops. That orchard land in the Cam
on City district is cheap at $500, or
even $1,000 an acre, is attested by
the revenue which is derived from 1t,
and the gradual appreciation of the
esteem in which it is held by its own
ers
The outlook for Canon City and its
surroundings is most encouraging and
the calendar year 1908 promises to
be one of growth and prosperity in
every department OF industrial en-
deavor.
The growing demand for property
here means much for the community
and is an assurance that the value Of
real estate must go up and not down.

Musical Messages
Edited by L. D. Eichhorn

The coming to Canon City OF the
Chicago Symphony orchestra on
March 25 furnishes the excuse for de-
voting our column today to brief
study OF the modern orchestra, the
highest and most perfect exponent Of
music. It Is interesting and practi-
cally helpful to consider the orches-
ira not only as large body OF indi-
vidual instruments. but also as four
distinct groups. each complete in It.
self, as to balance of voices and inde-
pendent possibilities. 1t is In the hope
that these hints may bs Of some SER
vice to many who have not time 70
read the larger works. that this arti-
Gle is offered to the public.
Tho modern symphony orchestra
consists Of the following instruments:
The strings group-violins. violas. vio-
lincellos and double basses. The wood
<saind group-nutes. oboes, clarinets
and bassoons. The brass wind group
horns. trumpets. trnmbones and
tuba The percussion group-Kettle-
drums. snare drum, bass drum. tri-
angle and cymbal. Tambourines, cas-
\egnets. ETC., etc. are sometimes in
tr0duced to give local color. In an
absolutely complete orchestra. there
are also two harps. Let us observe,
briefly, some OF the chief characters
tics Of these groups and individual In
struments. in the order above given.
The string group Is always consid-
cred the most important part OF the
orchestra. The violin has FIRST place!
It's great compass. its technical pos
sibilities, Its ever changing variety of
tone color, allcombine to make 1t the
nine voice Of the orchestra II weeps
or sings. prays or dreams. expresses
heart breaking and tender passion as
NO other instrument possibly can. Con-
tone afforded by the cellos and double
basses. we may say that the string
group is the body and backbone OF
the whole orchestra sss,s =
The second-wood wind group
these are the reed instruments. Their
tones are produced by the vibration
of thin slips Of cane inserted in the
pouthpiece. The somewhat nasal
quality OF the tone Is frequently char
acteriEed as reedy. The flute is the
most flexible and agile instrument of
this group. Brilliant passages. all
kinds of scales and ornaments can be
<2layed with comparative ease The
upser tones are sharp and piercing.
the middle soft and agreeable. but It's
chief charm and special claim to con-
sideration lies In the characteristic
beauty OF Its lower notes. II is spok-
en- OF as a wierd. unearthly beauty.
The oboe is double reed instru-
ment
Its tone is small. gay. and once heard
and recognized is no; easily forgotten. |
The clarinets have been called the no.
bility OF the wood wind group. The
tone is full and round. The instru-
ment Is one OF the most difficult to |
play-It is very susceptible to atmos- |
pheric changes and easily put out OF
tune. The bassoon Is the natural bass |
OF the wood wind group. 1t is quaint
and musicaliy unwieldy instrument. 1t |
has been called the comedian of the
orchestra Its tone is thin yet pom
derous, nasal yet sonorous. and has
at times very humorous effect
