of the proposed reservoir and settling

Several Of the aldermen had previous

ported that there are several things
to commend the place alluded to as

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS HERE
LOOKING FOR INVESTMENTS

. Messrs. Baldwin and Hewitt. prom
inent New York capitalists. arrived
here from the east on the Santa Fe
train Monday morning for the pur-
pose OF making personal investiga-
ton Of the resources OF the Canon
City district with view to their de-
velopment They have had in mind
some Colorado investments for long
time, but not until the presen. have
they had an opportunity to visit this
state and look into the advisability OF
such a course.
They are accompanied by an ex-
pe rienced civil engineer who will re-
port to them upon the various prop
ositions submitted to their considera-
ton and his recommendations will be
influential in determining their action
in the premises. In the opinion OF
Messrs. Baldwin and Hewitt the force
Of the panic has been spent and the
idle capital of the country Will soon
seek remunerative investment, par
tlcularly In gilt-edged western securi-
ties. Until the financial clouds began
to lift 1t was folly to discuss the ex-
ploitation of any sort OF Industrial en-
terprises, but now that a better day
is dawning there Is relaxation in
the money markets of the country and
capital is beginning to find its way
back into the channels Of Investment
and trade.
Messrs. Baldwin and Hewitt are not
in any sense promoters Of commercial
enterprises of any character: they are
men who have retired from active
business, and, having made their
pile" have little to do but clip the
coupons from their securities and at
tend to the re-inyestment OF their ac-
cumulated capital. 1t Is understood
that they are greatly pleased with
Canon City and its surroundings and
there is more than a possibility that
they will find something here that will
please their fancy and enlist theii
capital. We have no doubt that care.
full inspection will convince them that
the advantages OF Canon City as q
field for Investment are not exceeded
anywhere In Colorado.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR CLEANUP

An enthusiastic meeting of the Civ
ic Improvement league was held at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. D. E.
Gibson Wednesday for the purpose
of outlining program OF work FOR
the annual cleanup day, which will
be observed on Friday, the 18th inst.
All of the officers OF the league were
present and a resolution was regis
tered to make the coming event the
most notable in the history Of Canon
City.
w. B. Rowland was made chair
man of the cleanup movement and
will have general supervision of the
work to be done. which will embrace
a thorough cleaning of the streets
and alleys of the city.
A generous cooperation is promised
by the public at large, in fact, every
body in the community is expected TO
help the undertaking along as mat
ter OF civic pride.
Public spirit is appealed to and a
hearty response .is anticipated. 1t is
an enterprise in which all are in
ested and much can be accomplished
II the proposition is taken up in an
energetic manly fashion. In unity
there is strength and If the matter
Is taken up with a determination to
make it the success it deserves to be
the town can be made a model of
cleanliness without a great deal Of In
dividual trouble.
The city will be divided into dis
tricts for convenience. and in each Of
them, there will be a superintendent
whose duty it will be to see that the
work is properly done. In this man
ner a great deal more can be accom-
plished than would be the case under
a less systematic plan. The entire
city will be gone over If the necessary
assistance is extended to the league
and Canon City will be a "spotless
town" in consequence.
Warden Cleghorn was at the meet
ing this morning and proffered gener-
GUS help from the penitentiary in fur
therance of the cleanup movement.
He said that he would detail sixty con-
victs to assist in the work and would
loan the city all of the teams at his
command to help in the cleanup cru
sade. Many other teams, however.
will be needed and people who will do
nate them for a days work are re-
quested to communicate with Mr..
Rowland as soon as possible on that
subject. 1t is only by such helpful
ness that the great undertaking can
be carried out To have a part in
such a public spirited task should be
the desire of every loyal citizen Of the
community.
There should be no excuses in re-
lation to this cleanup matter 1t
should be the work of everybody, as
all are mutually concerned in its ac-
complshment. Every man. woman,
and child should help 1t along, for 1t is
only in this way can the best results
be obtained. Property owners should
not wait until Arbor day to clean up
their own premises, but should begin
at once to rake up the leaves and dry
grass and haul them away. What can
not be burned at home employ some
body to haul away to the public dump
ing grounds and thereby simplify the
work to be done on the 18th.
The cause is a most laudable one
