POSTOFFICE BUSINESS
THE BIGGEST EVER

The receipts at the Canon City
post office during the holiday season,
now drawing to a close. have exceed
ed the income Of any previous period
In its history. For two weeks the en-
ployes of the Office have been almost
submerged with business and are de-
voutly thankful that the rush Is over.
The registry department has been es-
pecially busy since the beginning of
the holiday period and more money
has been sent through that channel
to people in the Eastern states than
over before. A notable thing about the
holiday business at the post Office this
year was the great number of SOU
venir post cards carried. both the
outgoing and incoming mails being
full OF them. They were Of every con-
eeivable design. and proclaimed re-
vival of the post card fad. The rev.
enues Of the Canon City post office
during the current fiscal year will
run pretty close to $4,000.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
At WILLIAMSBURG

Early Monday morning Ine Rocky
Mountain Fuel company sustained a
material financial loss at their Mag
net" mine near Williamsburg. The oil
house and warehouse, with all the
supplies therein, together with some
mining timbers which were outside,
was a total loss. The company has
been in the habit of carrying over a
surplus of stock OF all kinds or sup
plies which they buy In quantity, and
1t so happened that the building was
well filled with materials. 1t is
thought that the cause Of the fire was
spontaneous combustion which start
ed in a big stock of waste. At o'clock
when the last employe left the build
ing, there was no sign of fire; about
11:30 Sunday night a passer-by not
iced a small blaze in the department
where the waste box was kept. Be
fore it could be extinguished 1t had
spread to about a dozen barrels OF oil
which fiercely fed the flames. The to-
tai loss is estimated at something over
$4,000 upon which there was less
than $500 insurance. Trib-

May Divide Oter0 County.

Rocky Ford, Dec. 30.-A delegation
of twelve business men from Ordway
met with the Rocky Ford board Of
trade here this afternoon to discuss
the proposed division of Otero
county. Their reasons for wanting
the division made were presented by
Senator Casadey of Boulder county
and by Mr.. Basheor of Ordway.
The principal reason for wanting
the division is on account of the geo.
graphical location OF the towns on
the north side OF the river making 1t
impracticable to go to La Junta, the
county seat. as the trip must now be
made overland. As 1t is q distance Of
twenty-five miles 1t consumes too
much time.
The assessed valuation Of otero
county is about $9.0oo.0Oo. BY making
the proposed division about $780,
900 would be cut OF Of this figure on
the basis of the present valuation.
H. w. Lance. president O the Rocky
Ford board OF trade. appointed the
following committee to make the trir
over the proposed divisional line
which follows closely the bank Of the
Arkansas river on the north side.

OF the banking firm of Blair & Co. has
Just returned from six weeks trip to
California. including an inspection

"The panic Of 1907 is merely news

west. They read about it. but they did
not feel It They are prosperous, en-
terprising and wholly optimistic. Take
Colorado, for instance. A few years
back it was known only as a mineral
state. Today its agricultural products
exceed in value its mineral production
by irrigation the desert soil II
yielding riches In greater abundance
than the mines. The result Is illustrat-
cd in the experiences Of the Denver &
Rio Grande road. That road has here
tofore depsnded ON ores for its freight.
There has been a falling off of nearly
80 per cent in ore tonnage, yet an In
crease of over 60 per cent In agricul-
tural freights has resulted in a sub

freight earnings. Now. instead of de-

A GOOD REASON.
Canon City People Can Tell You Why
II Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
OF disease. and that Is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys.
helping them to drive out OF the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache. headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Canon City
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. C. P. Spencer. formerly living
at 42O Pike avenue, Canon City, Colo.
says: Il still retain the same appre-
citation of Doan's Kidney Pills I had
when l publicly recommended them
three years ago. In 1902 my husband
procured his first supply OF Doan's 8
store and after taking them for a
short time was cured OF pains across
his loins, a trouble which had caused
him considerable suffering. especially
when he brought any strain on the
muscles OF the back. That he derived
lasting benefits is evidenced by the
fact that he has never been bothered
seriously since When there has been
the least indication of backache or
weakness across the loins, an appeal
to Doan's Kidney Pills has never fall
ed to promptly and absolutely remove
the trouble. My own experience with
them was also . very satisfactory
one. Our son recently showed symp-
toms Of weak kidneys bnt after he
took Doan's Kidney Pills his condi-
ton was greatly improved"
