TOOK LOTS OF STAMPS 10
CARRY XMAS PACKAGES

The sale OF stamps at the local post
ONCE during the few days preceding
Christmas was unprecedented. and
gives some idea of the extent Of the
holiday business done by the United
States mails In Canon City. On Monday
of this week $214.63 was taken in from
the sale Of stamps, the larger part OF
them being used to prepay the postage
on packages and Christmas letters be-
Ing sent away to friends. The sale of
stamps on Saturday. the 2lst, amount
ed to $159, while on Friday and Thurs
day preceding It was $3.50. and SILT
respectively. Probably. nearly $500
was spent here for the purchase OF
postage stamps to carry holiday bund-
les and greetings to distant friends.
A noteworthy feature of the holiday
business at the local postofice this
year was the increase in the number
of registerys, which means that .
greater number OF Christmas packages
were sent out OF Canon City than ever
before Last Monday was record

ment at this once Is concerned,

mont county, but very few have
thought that the increase would be as
rapid as it Is proving to be.
1t now looks as though late spring
will see the 1000 acres entirely dis
posed of, and to people who will i'm
mediately begin improving it. Prob
ably at least one half of the above
acreage will be sold to people outside
of Colorado, and as the average num-
ber of sales are being made in ten
acre tracts, this means 200 new famil-
les for this county. il
The Beaver Land and Irrigation
company has made sales in the last
week to people as far west as Spokane,
Wash, and as far east as Ohio. A few
of these men are, Mr.. o. e. Wood, OF
Spokane, who is now here to purchase
land for himself, Mr.. E. c. Manning,
also OF Spokane, and gentleman from
Virginia. 1t is Mr.. Woods intention to
commence improvements on his Bea-
yer Park property as soon as possible.
Mr.. Stafford, OF Pueblo, has pur-
chased ten acre tract and taken m
option on so additional acres for his
Wisconsin relatives and friends, all Of
whom will soon be located here.

Practically nothing was done by the

the progress Of the Undertaking, ex-
cept the bridge work which offers
no obstacle that cannot be quickly re-

HeelIng In Trees.

There are some very very good rea-

the trees over winter. The careless

NEW GROCERY FIRM
BEGINS AUSPICIOUSLY

The announcement in the advertis-
ing columns of today's Record. of the
consolidation or the grocery firms of
the Holman Mercantile company and
Dunlap & York is OF more than usual
interest to the buying public of Canon
City. for 1t concerns two of the biggest
and most successful retail stores in
Canon. The history of the Holman
Mercantile company, which absorbs
the Dunlap & York store and con-
tinues under the name OF the Canon
Grocery Co., has been one Of success.
1t has been under the present manage
ment for a few months more than a
year. Messrs. W. C. Holman and U. E.
Sidebottom took charge Of the busi-
ness in October. 1906. Since that time
the growth of their business has been
remarkable. The books Of the concern
show that the business has more than
doubled during the past year after
the new management took charge. in
spite OF the fact that the vehicle and
implement lines were dropped.
When Jay T. Sidebottom entered the
firm its enterprise and executive abil-
ity was materially augmented. During
the past few months the business has
taken great strides forward.
Another new member OF the firm In
r. J. Craig. formerly Of Cutler. Ill. Mr..
Craig is a business man OF experience
and makes a mighty good man In the
grocery line. All the firm members
will take an active part In the man
agement OF the store.
The combination adds Mr.. York to
the personale OF the firm. and he. with
his assistance from the old store, will
be great factors In the success OF the
new concern. The Record congratu-
lates this capable combination and
wishes it success. The details OF the
deal are being closed today through
the J. NJ. Bartlett Real Estate COM
pany. which frm negotiated the COM
bine.

night of typhoid fever after an illness
of about a months duration. Deceased
came here about the first of July from
Bakersfield, California, and took en-
ployment with Dozier and Mackenzie

all to no avail and he grew gradually
worse until the end came.

NO MORE CAMPIN6 ON
UPPER BEAVER CREEK

The fencing up OF Upper Beaver
creek has created much displeasure
among picnickers, fishing parties and
others who enjoy an occasional camp
ing out. For twelve miles both sides
of the creek are fenced in. Gates have
been hung. heavy locks placed and
notices posted. The forbidden land be-
gins about half a mile above the Fan
cher ranch and extends to the old
Woods Investment Cos dam.
This for many years has been the
playground for both Florence and
Canon City camping parties and If it
Is to be permanently closed much
more disappointment will be express
ed as the facts become better known.

country was originally dled upon as

POIsOIlNG WAS ACCIDENTAL
INSTEAD OF INTENTIONAL

The item published in this paper on
Friday in relation to the poisoning of
Miss Edith Swope at Guffy early in
the week was erroneous have been
predicated upon information that was
misleading in the extreme, although
not wilfully 80. We are assured by
the family that Miss Swope, as well
as several other members of the house
hold were the victims Of ptomaine
poisoning, caused by eating ice cream,
and that there is no truth in the re-
port that she swallowed cresoline
with suicidal intent. We regret ex-
ceedingly that the story should have
come to US in so distorted and un-
truthful form and assure the family
that nothing could have been further
from our intention than to have done
the young lady an injustice.
Mrs .Swope, mother of the young
woman referred to, suffered severely
from eating the infected ice cream,
but a few days later recovered from
list effects. Miss Swope appears to be
peculiarly susceptible to ptomaine
poisoning and twice before narrowly
escapted death in that manner. Her
condition on Wednesday and Thurs
day was regarded as critical and is
yet serious. Her many friends sin
cerely hope for a favorable outcome
of her present illness.
