The town cannot get along
without the country neither can
the country do without the town
the interests, one in the other,
are mutual. And yet, in spite
of this dependency on each
other, nine times out of ten
where both by a certain enter
prise can be benefited, one
stands aside and lets the other
do it all. A notable instance of
this may be found in the very
small interest heretofore taken
by our country friends in the
county fairs at Canyon City.
And, coming to things present
and with us now, the brickyard
and flour mill proposition might
be mentioned. Any and all of
these things add values to land
and the nearer the town the
higher the values. We find the
truth of this position in the to-
day values of land within a mile
or so Of Canyon City. 1t is
twice, thrice and even four times
as high per acre as it can be
purchased for in more distant
portions of the county and as
far as the land itself is con-
cerned, not any better either.
What farmer wouldn't pay
more for land within a mile or
two of a good -four mill: It's
worth more, and so with a first
class brickyard, and yet the
present owners, from all ap-
pearanceS, want to throw the
full burden of these enterprises
upon a few people in the town.
In these two enterprises as well
as others of like character, Can
yon City is entitled to the sub
stantial help of adjacent land
holders and unless they come in,
we may as we'll write failure"
right now,
The News is appraised of the
fact that this is plain talk and
that it may not be to the liking
of some folks. but It's true never
theless and there i absolutely
no use denying it.

himself an easier task than some Of
