CELEBRATION AND BARBECUE
AT BEAVER PARK WEDNESDAY

Wednesday commemorating the open
ing of four thousand acres of -hither-
to dry, mesa land was a success in
every particular and directed general
attention to the great enterprise now
being carried out in that part Of the
county by Jesse Waters, c. G. Hamlin,
Col. Macdonald and their associates.
The day was perfect one. the tenn
perature being agreeable and the sky
cloudless, an ideal combination of
conditions for picnic. A constant
stream of vehicles poured into the
park from early in the morning un-
til noon, when 1t was conservatively
estimated that there was between
fifteen hundred and two thousand peo-
pie on the grounds, by far the great
est number that had assembled there
since the occupancy of the country
by the white man.
There was no formal ceremony of
any kind, the people were there for
the purpose of celebrating the re-
clamation of large tract of semi
arid land and that required no special
program. There we're, however. short
speeches by Col. Macdonald, George
W. Wilkes and several others but the
majority of the celebrants did not hear
them as they we're exploiting the sur
on their own account to sec
what what had been accomplished by
tie skill of the engineer in laying the
great siphon to bring the life-giving
water from Beaver creek, nearly three
miles away. The very laws Of nature
seemed to be set a naught in bring
ing the water over the Intervening
hills and 1t was interesting to the oh,
server to endeavor to find out how 1t
was done. although he was compelled
to miss hearing some good speeches
to do so.
The. great feature OF the day was.
Of course, the barbecue, which was at
tended to by Mark Rafferty, of Colo
rado Springs. an expert in that class
Of cookery. 1t was a masterpiece of
It's kind and reflected great credit on
the chief cook and his assistants. Cat
tie. sheep and hogs we're barbequed
and 5000 pounds Of cooked meat were
among the hungry crowd
between IL and o'clock. Everybody
had enough and to spare and the
verdict was general that meat never
tasted so good before, a condition Of
affairs brought about by sharpened
appetite. ,
Everybody was pleased with the ap-N
pearance of Beaver Park and the
promise of happy homes 1t held out.
With the water brought upon it by
the great irrigating canal it will bios
som as the rose and in the years to
come will add hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the public wealth.
OF the great throng of people at
Beaver Park Wednesday the vast ma
jority were, of course. from Florence.
as it Is much nearer that place than
to Canon City. As Beaver Park is
destined to be an important factor in a
and garden sense in the
future of Fremont county it was fit
ing that its Inauguration as pro-
luctive district should be publicly
celebrated. About fifty or sixty Can
IN City people were in attendance at
he barbecue.

ANSWERS EVERY CALL.
Canon City People Have Psssd Thst
This II True.

A cold strain, d sudden wrench.
A little cause may hurt the kidneys,
Spells of backache often follow.
Or some irregularity Of the urine.
A certain remedy for such attacks.
A medicine that answers every call.
Is Doan's Kidney pills. n true spe-
cifc.
Many Canon City people rely ON II.
Here is proof:
l.. A. Schamp. living at s2l Pike
avenue. Canon City. Colo. says:
About ten years ago ! strained my
self and after that was bothered with
my kidneys. At times suffered se-
vereiy from pains over the region OF
the kidneys. and l was also annoyed
by the too frequent action Of the kid
ney secretions. ! finally procured n
box OF Doan's Kidney Pills at Hunter
Palmer's drug store, and had taken
only a few doses when could see an
in my condition. So pro-
have been the results from
their continued use that cannot ex-
press myself too strongly in their
praise" nsa.a

and take no other.

have constantly to struggle in their de-
sire to avoid obscurity and be correct
at the same time. In Harper's Maya
zine Professor L%ounsbury takes up the
use Of "whose" as a relative pronoun
referring to inanimate objects and JUS
titles its use since nothing better can
be devised. He discusses the use Of
the singular pronoun with the word
Everybody" as in 'There everybody
met his friends" This is manifestly
inadequate, and "his or her friends" Is
clumsy. Jane Austen, writes the pro-
fessor, avoided the difficulty by using
the plural pronoun, as in her sentence,
'"They say everybody is in love once
in their lives" He thinks no satisfac-
tory solution Of this problem can, in
the nature Of the case, w be reached.

A Feast Of Kisses,

NJ once visited the little town of Hal
magen, in Roumania," said a strolling
player who used to wander into the
odd corners Of the world, "but even l.
and my hair Is getting a little thin, and
I wouldn't take first prize in a beauty
contest-got enough kisses In one day
to last an average lifetime. It seems
that Halmagen from time immemorial
has had an annual festival, and on this
day the population Of about eighty VII
lagos come swarming in. Every young
woman of the town, married or single.
goes out on this day carrying a vessel
of wine and a small garland Of flowers.
To every visitor they offer a sup of
wine and a kiss."-St. Louis Republic.

Tho Judges Request and the counsei's
Prompt Response.
A young and afterward distinguished
attorney from IN up country district Of
New York state was arguing his first
appeal in the old general term of the
supreme court. He had been In many
legal scrimmages in Justices courts
at home, but had never stood in the
awesome presence of five sedate and
learned judges Of the supreme court
in general term assembled. His en-
barrassment vas great. He repeated
himself and misplaced his words so
often that it was quite evident that he
must o o be routed by his own con
fusion unless something should occur
to break the spell. Finally, and just
as he was floundering the deepest in a
chaotic tumble Of language and ideas,
the presiding judge interrupted with
the following remark:
"Mr. Smithers, l believe it will be a
great relief to yourself and to the court
II you will address us in the same free
and informal way that you doubtless
use in addressing your local justice of
the peace"
Well, them" replied Smithers, II
wish that while I am busy alternating
your honor's dense ignorance of the
law you would keep your COMPOUNDED
mouth shut" The court laughed
heartily and waved for him to proceed.
He grew eloquent and won his case in
the midst of hearty applause.-Bohe-
