Flies.

The astonishing abundance of flies during tha latter part of the summer Is accounted for by the estimate made by an eminent entomologist that the progeny of a single house fly in the course Of one summer will number 20SO,320 If It were not for the in numerable enemies provided by nature for the destruction of the fly. the whole air would be filled by the end of Au- gust with swarms of files, which would Hsnder life insurpcrtabla.

WILL HAVE CHARGE OF COM
PANY'S AFFAIRS AT TRINIDAD

w, B. Kenney, who has been en-
ployed in various official capacities at
the Denver & Rio Grande station here
for several years, during the last sew
en- or eight months as cashier, was on
Monday rendered the agency of the
company at Trinidad, as the success
sor Of George NJ Forester, who has
been given the position of commercial
agent for that territory. The offer
was entirely unexpected by Mr.. Ken
ney, and, as it Is a promotion in the
company's service, he has accepted 1t
and left at noon today to enter upon
its duties.
Mr.. Kenney is a thorough railroad
man, honest, energetic and painstak-
ing, and is entitled by his experience
to the recognition and assignment
that has just been given him. Al
though the Trinidad position is both
difficult and responsible Mr.. Kinney
easily measures up to its requirements
and will, no doubt, add new laurels
to his career as a railroad man while
in that office. While Mr.. Kenney's
friends here regret his departure the
disappointment is assuaged to some
extent by the fact that he has earned
his advancement and that Canon City's
loss will be Trinidad's gain.
The cashiership here left vacant by
Mr.. Kennys promotion has been Civ
en- to Bert E. Gregory, who formerly
held a similar place with the Denver
& Rio Grande company at Florence,
but for the last several months hold
ing a clerical position with the Can
on Coal & Supply company. He sue
ceeded to the place this morning.

KILLED SNAKE In SOUTH
CANON A FEW DAYS AGO

Last Sunday afternoon while J. r.
Calvert and James and Will Isabel
were walking along the banks Of the
irrigating ditch near the Hot Springs
hotel. they were surprised to see .
snake about sixteen or eighteen inches
in length wiggle across their pathway
and attempt to hide itself In the dry
grass near the waters edge. Despite
the fact that the temperature was
below the freezing point his snake
ship was able to get over the ground
pretty rapidly and demonstrated the
fact that he was the unusually hardy
specimen OF his kind. Snakes are not
common here at any time Of the year
and why this particular representa-
tive should have survived the cold
weather Of the last few months and
come out for an airing with the mer-
curry indicating a most uncomfortable
atmosphere, is a little dimcult to un-
derstand. Mr.. Calvert says he never
knew such an occurrence In January
before, and he thinks 1t may indicate
an early spring.
