MEETING OF DRIVING CLUB
TO BE HELD ON JUNE SIXTH

The next matinee of the Fremont
county Driving and Riding club will
be held Saturday, June 9Th, instead of
on Decoration day as previously re-
ported. The rumor that the club
would hold a speed contest at the fair
grounds on the 30th inst, was not au-
thoritative, and was, therefore, mis-
leading. AT meeting of the club
members few nights ago the matter
of holding Decoration Day matinee
was discussed and voted down as a
proposition lacking in respect to the
G. A. R. and antagonistic to the sa-
credness of the occasion.
1t was unanimously decided by the
club that Decoration Day, an occasion
dedicated to patriotism. ought not to
be desecrated by sports of any kind.
however, commendable they might be
at other times.
The driving club is desirous of Civ
ing the people of Canon City some
good. clean entertainment during the
coming summer Mt small cost and
solicits the public patronage.

SAYS THEY HAVE GOOD LAND
But 4 BAD CLIMATE

S. A Van Buskirk returned to Can
on City last night from a months Wis
it to his old home at Upton, Ind. He
had not been back there for six years
and was impressed with the agricul-
tural development that had taken
place in that section of the country
during that period.
A large part of the territory con-
tiguous to Upton was formerly Of a
wet, boggy character. but naturally
very fertile IL the water could be kept
off of It. OF recent years nearly all
of this land has been tiled and is now
admirably adapted to farming pur-
poses.
Land that twenty years ago sold for
fifteen or twenty dollars an acre Is
now worth eight or ten times that
much and is good investment at
that price. Millions of feet of tiling
has been laid in the vicinity of Tip
ton during the last decade.
Despite the good land Mr.. Van Bus
kirk says he would not live back
there on any account because Of its
miserable climate.
Mr.. Van Buskirk visited Birming-
ham. Alabama, and Columbus, Mis-
sissippi. two Of his daughters resid-
ing at the latter place. Business he
said was pretty dull at Birmingham
and other iron centers in the south,
but was slowly getting better. Mrs.
Van Buskirk. who accompanied him
on his eastern and southern trip, re-
moiped af CnlumhOS MissiSsiDOi.
where she expects to spend the great
er part OF the summer. Mr.. Van Bus
kirk will probably leave next week
for Nevada to look after his mining
interests there.

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Because It's the One Thing Only. and
Canon City People Appre-
ciNte This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing we'll brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing
only
They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache. every kidney
Ill.
Mrs. c. n. Jones, living at s15 North
Sixth street. Victor, Colorado, says:
My husbands experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills dates back to over three
years ago, at which time he was cured
of a severe case of kidney trouble by
them. He tried doctors and various
remedies to find relief but met with
very little success. He finally learned
of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured a
box. and upon using them was cured.
At times since. when from over-exer-
ton or cold. the old trouble has re-
an appeal to Doan's Kidney
Pills has never failed to remove It. We
deem II n pleasure to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to those who suf-
eff from kidney trouble"
