WILL HAVE A SERIES OF
GREAT FRUIT YEARS MERE

An astrologer and clairvoyant who
recently spent some time here. re-
marked that q study of the sodiac had
convinced him that the fruit crop In
the Canon City district during the next
few years would surpass in volume Al
we'll az in value that of any similar
period in its history.
The horoscope, he continued, was
particularly bright for all horticul-
tural and garden products In this val
ley. the gradual recession OF . osr-
tain planet from the moon presaging
great prosperity to all who cultivate
the soil. t
This planet at present il only about
. 1000. 900 miles distant from the moon.
according to the astrologers. but in
twelve months It will be 5000. 900
miles away. He also says that the
star. Beta syra. will be nearer to the
earth. which will guarantee = bumper
fruit crop for two years. possibly
three.
He stated that north and west of
the Royal Gorge there was big min
eral formation which he was going to
study most OF the summer. The STRAIT
ton lead. he asserts. makes a dip In
this vicinity and that this, city In un-
derlaid with great deposits Of coal and
oil, which will some day be developed.
There exists between Canon City
and Cripple Creek. he says. a cave
thirty miles long In which the Indians
used to live and worship. In It he
declares are springs. the waters OF
which will cure all manner OF d.
seases. The Indians ornamented
themselves with the gold they found
in this great cave, not knowing the
value Of it. He claimed that the min
eral water, both here and at Colo
RADIO Springs, came mp from this cav
ern. He said that he had maps and
charts that would lead him close to
the entrance of this great cave and
that he expected to devote couple
OF years in an effort to nnd It. Its
discovery, he said, would astonish the
world nd.would result in many thou
sands OF people coming here every
year to explore Its beauties. The
clairvoyant closed remarkable inter-
view by saying that he was going 20
invest money I'm fruit lands here. be-
cause the stars had told him that such
a course would be a remunerative one
and because Canon City had q great
material future.

WELL WORTH KNOWING
Any Lump in Woman's Breast Is
Always Cancer

The papers made mention some time
ago Of several marvellous cures of
large cancers in women's breasts by
DR.. ChamIey, the world renowned cam
Ger specialist of 500 McA1lister St, San
Francisco, Cal This Doctor makes the
bold assertion that he has in over 80
years cured more cancers than any
other Doctor living and offers $1,000
if he fails to cure any,single cancer he
treats. Strictly reliable; no X-Ray or
other swindle. The fact that not a
dollar need be paid until cured should
convince the most skeptical Of the
Doctors honesty and fair dealing. He
has, probably, the best book ever
printed on cancers and tumors cured
without knife or pain, wherein he
teaches and proves that any lump in
woman's breast is cancer. This book
Of testimonials of thousands of Won
derful cures everywhere is sent free
to all who write Dr. and Mrs. DR..
Chamley & Co., describing their can
Ger. The reader may save a life by
sending this to some one with cancer.

LIFE TENURE RULES
IN High SCHOOL
Teachers Have Same Protection
as in Grammar and Pri=.
mary Grades

It was held. by Judge Hunt yester-
day, IN passing upon a demurrer raised
by the city attorney to the complaint
of Frank J.. Browne, who is suing the
hoard Of education for reinstatement
as a high school teacher that high
school teachers. are protected in their
positions the same as grammar and
primary teachers. The city attorney
had set I'D that only the holders of
city certificates are SO protected. and
the question arose whether a high
school certificate is a city certificate.
The city attorney claimed in the de-
murTer that tL.:was not, and contended
that high school teachers. hold their
position at the pleasure of the board
of education. In OVerruling the city at
torney en- this point Judge Hunt held
that a regularly appointed high school
teacher has a life tenure. as grammar
and primary teachers have. On other
points the demurrer of the city afsSrney
was upbeld, and Attorney Stephen Cos
te1lo.. representing Browne, was given
permission to amend his complaint
browne sets UP in his complaint that
in ApriE 1908. he was assigned TO. the
Polytechnic hrgh school at a salary. of
sl45 a month. and remained there until
June "a. when the beard of education
placed him on tine unassigned. list. On
August 8 he was assigned to the
Franklin grammar school with a salary
OF $50 a month. He claims he is en-
titled. to a high school appointment
and Is suing for a writ of mandate
compelling the board to so assign him
and pay him $l45 a month. The city
attorney will set UP when the case
COMES to trial that Browne was merely
substitute at the Polytechnic high
school and has never been appointed g
high school teacher.
