Editors Meeting a Big Success.

Ault Advertiser.
The Midsummer meeting of the Col
orado Editorial association, which
closed at Canon City on August 11th,
is said to have been one of the most
successful ever held.
The session was memorable as hav-
ing had the largest attendance of bona
fide newspaper men in the history of
the organization, most of the counties
of the state being represented.
The residents of Canon City WED
with each other in their efforts to en-
tertain their visitors, a moonlight ex-
curson to the Royal Gorge, an auto
mobile trip to Lincoln Park and a
visit to the penitentiary being among
the amusements provided.
A pleasing feature of the morning
session on the closing day was the
presentation to each member of a
beautiful rose by Mrs. F. A. Twitchell.
An unusually heavy rainfall inter-
fered with the program in the after
noon.
The meeting closed at night with a
banquet rendered to the knights of the
pen by the Canon City Merchants as
ISOLATION at which covers for $50
guests were laid.
Taken all in all the meeting was a
huge success and the guests depart

with their trip and the hospitality
of the residents of Canon City.

BIGGEST RAIN
IN CITY IN
. MANY MONTHS

The heaviest rain that has visited
ing shortly after o'clock Saturday
evening and soon assumed the proper
tons Of flood.
All Of the low places in fields and
gardens were converted into minia-
ture lakes and the streets were filled
with water until they resembled small
rivers. At some points on Main street
the water overfiowed the curbing and
swept down the concrete walks in q
sluggish shallow current, driving Pc
destrians indoors and leaving a resi-
due Of mud and filth upon the surface
of the walks that was disagreeable
in the extreme.
The sewers and drains were made
quate to carry of the water as rapid
ly as it fell and 1t literally piled up
until 1t ran into stores and base
ments and in some places submerged
the lawns with mud. Several bridges
were washed out by the flood in South
Canon.
Some of the gardens in South Can
on were greatly damaged by the flood
waters which rushed down the hill
sides south of town and created chan
nels of their own, which will require
a lot of labor and expense to eradi-
cate.
The Denver & Rio Grande and San
ia Fe railroad tracks between Can
on City and Florence were put out
of commission for several hours and
considerable money will be needed to
put them in good repair again.
The loss at Florence from Satur-
dayevening's storm was more severe
than 1t was here. but was less dIsas-
trous than the flood OF few weeks
ago.
The public roads of the county suf-
fered greatly as a result OF the unus-
ual downpour.

Two testing machines viii be install
led, the larger one capable Of exerting
a pressure Of 100000 pounds. and the
smaller one capable OF exerting a

these machines are OF the latest de-
sign and each Is driven by a separate
motor. In addition to the testing ma
chimes. the laboratory equipment will
include q power-driven saw and planer
for preparing the test specimens from
the timber as 1t is delivered to the
laboratory.
As soon as the machinery reaches
Boulder the Forest Service will de-
tail an engineer to put the laboratory
in running order on the work Of the
station.
At the present time there Ia a large
amount OF fire-kiIled timber in Colo

as to its suitability for structural pur-
poses. II such timber has sufficient
strength. large quantities OF material
which is now con sidered OF little value

also be the headquarters for a repre-
sentative of the Forest Service who
will have general charge OF such work
as relates to the utilization OF wood in
Colorado and some OF the adjoining

A Colorado Beauty Spot
'od Springs Avalanche.

1lcuWOOu AfdIAuCuc
The recent meeting of the Colorado
Editorial association at Canon City,
at which the editor of the Avalanche
and his family had the pleasure to be
present, afforded an opportunity to
study one OF the most attractive of
Colorado's cities; essentially a little
home city, delightful in its every fea-
ture and framed in a magnificent en-
vironment.
One thing Immediately impressed
upon the visitors was the unbounded
and spontaneous hospitality of the
citizens; not of a committee appointed
to see that a formal reception was
rendered, but the hearty welcome Of
all with whom we came in contact.
Individual goodwill was everywhere
manifested and the pleasant friend
ships thus formed will long linger in
the memory.
Not every community possesses the
optimistic spirit so prevalent in Can
on City as to be universal. For two
successive years the fruit crop, a most
important factor in the city's wealth,
has been failure owing to frosts;
yet this is passed lightly by all and
all eyes are fixed upon the future-a
future glowing with hope and promise.
In the future smpdge pots will be
used, as on the western slope. and
success will not be again jeopardized
from this cause.
The residents of Canon City delight
to term it the Beauty Spot of Colo
RADIO" and they are fully justified in
this assertion. 1t is beautiful-grand-
ly beautiful in a manner peculiarly It's
own.
Nestled at the eastern entrance to
the sublime Royal Gorge of the Ar
kansas, in one of the most attractive
valleys in the state. the broad streets
lined with modern and commodious
homes, spotlessly clean both in bus
mess and residence sections, progress
sive and wide awake. Canon City is
charming to a degree.
On all sides fruit trees abound and
shade is everywhere, while the noun
tains form a background fit for set
ting of the gods.
The novel Skyline drive, a magnifi-
cent road which winds its way along
the crest of rugged hills. affords a
grand panorama of the city and the
beautiful stretches of the Arkansas
valley--a veritable Eden. Here one
one could linger long and not become
sated with the ever changing glories
unfolded to the gaze.
The citizens took especial pains to
give the editors every possible oppor-
tunity to acquire information regard
ing the resources and advantages of
the city and surrounding country.
which was all the more forceful be-
cause 1t was capable of optical veri-
hcation.
