Commissioners ARE e.
INTERESTED IN THE
PROPOSED ROAD

Tho county commissioners with q
committee of citizens ON Wednesday
made the trip over the line Of the Pro-
posed road to the top OF the Royal
Gorge and Parkdale as outlined In the
Daily Record and manifested a deep
interest in the matter. The route was
shown to be perfectly feasible one
and 1t was evident that the road could
be built at no great cost.
1t was pointed out that such a road
way would materially reduce the dis
tance between Canon City and Park
dale, as one Is now compelled to trav-
ell 1t by way Of DEVILS Gap. and will
also shorten the trip from here to
Current creek at the northern part of
the county While there is some heavy
work to be done along the line OF the
contemplated highway from Three
Mile Spring to the crest of the Royal
Gorge hills there is very little work to
be done after the ascent has been
made. From the top to the rim OF the
canon and on down to Parkdale there
is comparatively little work to be
done and the entire enterprise could.
probably, be carried out for sum not
exceeding $4,000. which would be
cheap in consideration OF the advant-
ages that would accrue from such an
undertaking. 1t is said that the line
of travel between Canon City and
Parkdale by the proposed road would
be more direct than that followed by
the Denver and Rio Grande railway in
connecting the two points.
The people in the northern part OF
the county without exception want the
Royal Gorge and Parkdale road con-
structed as 1t will lessen the distance
they will have to travel in getting to.
market with their produce. indeed.
there is no opposition to 1t In any
quarter. We believe the county COM
missioners are fully Justified In or
dering the construction Of the road
along the route laid down by the
county surveyor, in fact. the petition
presented to them few days ago pro-,
claims that fact. The usefulness OF
such road Is apparent to all and It 10
sincerely hoped the county commits
sioners can see their way clear to
build 1t under the provisions Of the
Lewis law.

MANY FAVOR ONE TICKET

The sentiment in favor Of putting
but one ticket IN The city election
and doing away with . very disasrss-
able city nsht has grown greatly in
the past few days.
A week ago it was considered 10 be
desirable, but practically impossible.
Today many more people ses its ad-
vantages and are willing to concsde
its possibility.
There are . few people. Of course.
In the old "Taxpayers" party who
want nothing but real license ticket.
But the great majority Of the old Tax
payers party concede that the town 4
dry and will continue to be %. and
that It would be hopeless to nght out
that issue again.
Their only concern now 10 to get
the very best business mems admins

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. Sodo other well-informed people.
One thing more. When . person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
eharlatans claim that medicines Will
cure disease. Medicines may palhate
symptoms, Medicines may urge the
powers Of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts Of the
human body 10 right itself against de-
rangements Is. This Is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But 1t makes 1t
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet II
. palliative is 1T hand the pains of tndi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
NOT be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates dissgreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruns, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is q cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
M will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cauno<
be carried on At all. twill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite. i,
It ts admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either Will NOT
or do not know how to eat correctly that
. tremendous amount Of good can DC
done by the wise use of Peruns.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function Of diges'
ton very Iazily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom'
sch is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
With the products of fermentation. This
condition il very apt TO produce rheum-
etism.
It's not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
st.sm but correct living. But 1t Is
claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

The Tri-Bullion Smelling & Devel-

establish reduction plant here when
the financial panic came on two years

people Of Canon City. South Canon

Gentlemen:
During the summer and fall of 1907
your company entered into an agree
ment with the Merchants Association
of Canon City. Colorado, for the erec-
ton and operation of a smelter at
this place.
For the faithful performance of
your part of the agreement your COM
pany executed a good and sufficient
bond in the sum of $4,000.
The Merchants Association OF Can
on City complied with its part of the
agreement and raised by subscription
the amount necessary, and paid for
and procured for your company the
lease for smeIter site as desired and
stipulated by your company.
The undersigned, Chas. r. McLain,
was selected by the Merchants Asso-
citation as trusteee to represent the
interests OF the public here and the
several communities assisting in rails
ing the amount necessary to secure a
site for your company.
One-half the time for which your
company bound itself to the operation
of smelter here has now elapsed.
II, In the turn of the time OF finan-
cial affairs. your company has decided
that 1t would be to its pecuniary ad-
vantage to abandon the construction
of smelter at this place as agreed,
then we would respectfully request
that you sent remittance of $4,000 to
the Fremont County National Bank Of
Canon City. Colorado, or to your at
torney. Mr.. Andrew Gillette of Dem

cITY POLITICS.

From Mondays Daily.
1t really begins TO look like there
would be very little strife and excite
ment over the city election this
spring. so strong ID the sentiment
growing for q single ticket. o. ,s
e At first 1t was too good to believe.
Many appreciated its advantages but
hardly anybody believed 1t possible.
With the devout Reform people the
whole question OF NO license is mat
ter Of principle. With the Taxpayer
the question Is one Of expedience. Of
policy of government The devout Re-
former will not hear to q suggestion
of compromise" There is no COM
promise with him-or her.
But It turns out that the "Taxpay-
ers" ask no compromises: ask no can
didates Of any kind. and are willing
for the council to be just as dry a. 1t
can be made. AZ .,c., ~
All the Taxpayers party-that ID
the large. liberal majority Of tasks
is that the Reform party put up men
for mayor and aldermen of recognized
business ability. They intimate that
If this is done, they win merely pass
the matter up to the election without
putting up any ticket ut all. w.
How liberal that IL! How easy It
ought to be under such circumstances
to get up the very best ticket possible: !:
and what a relief it would be to have
no hotly contested election.
At first both sides-that is some
people on both sides-were suspicious
OF the other and that unbounded sus-
picion came nearly .;eer.ng the men
intended in the arrangement apart.
But most Of the people who have been
interested in the city affairs now are
ready to acknowledge the sincerity Of
those who are working to avoid the
usually disagreeable city fight.
AT little caucus held by the Re-
form people the other night the mat
ter was considered with much favor.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the other people and see what
could be accomplished.

right itself, the blood would rid itself Of
