foremost rank among the resort towns
OF the Rocky Mountains. The wisdom
Of her enterprise Is apparent to all
and can be duplicated here If we but
desire it. A decade of judicious adver-
Using has made Colorado Springs,
next to Denver, the best known town
in the state and annually attracts to
it twenty-five or thirty thousand Wis
itors. Had Canon City begun the ex-
ploitation of her scenic advantages at
the same time as Colorado Springs
who can say that Little Lunnon"
might not have been in the Arkansas
valley, instead of on the eastern slope
of the Pixies Peak range Of noun
tains?
The future of cities and towns is
determined very largely by the enter
prise and push of their founders and
the energy of the boomer is frequent
ly worth more than natural surround
ings in the creation OF municipal
greatness. Chicago possesses fewer
natural advantages than Milwaukee,
and, had her citizens been as active
as those of the former in shaping her
career, she mi~rt today be the second
city of America and the metropolis Of
the west. Chicago forged herself to
the front by vim an vigor and today
contains greater population than all
of the cities of the Great lakes put
together, indeed, Is the fifth or sixth
city In the world in size.
Canon City would have had great
ness thrust upon 1t but for the Civil
war, which transferred the future
metropolis and capitol OF Colorado
from the Arkansas valley to Denver
When hostilities broke out between
the North and the South in 1861 the
government was no longer able to
give military protection to both the
Arkansas and the Platte river routes
OF travel to the west and withdrew
the soldiery from the former, but
guarded the latter. Az q result, the
Arkansas route. which was the most
popular in the ante-bellum days, was
abandoned and immigration was d.
verted to Denver at the expense Of
this city. Had there been no war
Canon City would have been one Of
the commercial centers of the inter-
mountain region.
By making the most OF the assets
and resources that nature has placed
within its reach Canon City may yet
take a conspicuous place In the in
dustrial and business councils Of the
state 1t can do this by building roads
and inviting people to come here and
inspect the fertility OF the soil; the
mineral resources; the beauty OF the
surroundings and the healthfulness
and delight Of the climate. To realize
high ambitions we must work.
truth as applicable to cities and towns
as to individuals. Our people can be-
gin in the new year in NO more
r:aiseworthy way than by working
for the good OF the community and
that can be best done by contributing
in some way to the construction OF
the proposed roadvays to the top Of
the Royal Gorge and to Colorado
Springs. II you do this you will have
added something to the municipal
greatness of the community in which
you live.
