GEO. MACKENZIE WRITES
OF NORTHERN COUNTRY

Calgary. Alberta, Dec. 8, 1909.
ilR GUY U. HARDY,
| Editor Canon City Record.
DEAR SIR:
We miss your paper when it fails
to come very much. Myself and fam
lily look forward from week to week
for the arrival of your paper. with a
great degree of pleasure. The winter
has come here in good shape. and very
likely to continue for the next five
months.
| often wish and express myself II
we only had Canon City winter
weather here. we would certainly
have a great country; the summer
season is certainly delightful, but the
severity of the winters here discour-
age many from coming; also cause a
good many to seek a milder climate
who otherwise would like to remain
here, including your humble servant;
but notwithstanding what 1 have
stated. this is a rich and prosperous
country, destined to be one of the
provinces to take her place and / be-
lieye, front rank of all grain produc-
ing countries on the American CONT
nent
Calgary, my present home. is a
growing city with a population of 3D.
900. Although not the capital OF AL
berta. it surpasses The capital city.
viz: Eulmonton, destined to be a
great railway center, but like Canon
City. she lacks manufactures. conse-
quently 1t is hard for wage earners.
especially those engaged in out
door employment owing to the long
and severe winters, to do other than
to be, what 1 might call. a hand to
mouth population. We have many
Americans here. not only in the city,
but specially on the farms, and up to
the present. most of the land owned.
is owned by American farmers and
spectators. which. OF course. adds
much to the progressiveness Of the
country / must now conclude by say
ing that any person in Canon City de-
string to get an honest opinion and
information unshaded. concerning this
country. will cheerfully convey
same to them. Wishing you and
yours health and success.

Each days mail brings inquiries re-
garding the big irrigation project and

The coal and oil industries. which
in the past have been the important
factors in the prosperity of this dis

importance with the great agricul-
tural developments. which of late
years are yielding splendid returns

l. C. Thompson. colored. for four
teen years an inmate Of the peniten-
uary here and for long period but
Ter at The warden's residence, was on
Sunday admitted to parole.
Warden lyman expressed deep re-
gret at the loss OF Thompson, whom
he says was exceptionally well quail
ified for the position. In referring to
him the warden said: He is the
mos, polite. elegant and trustworthy
butler | ever knew. | would willingly
trust him with anything possess. My
wife always confided to him her val
uables on leaving home, and you may
be sure they were invariably found
to be all right on her return. Thomp-
son was the house man for the late
United States Senator Cockrell OF
Missouri. and was highly priced by
him for his loyalty and personal quail
ities. Yes. Thompson was a good
prisoner. but is poor citizen. Booze
is his weakness. and while under Its
influence he is apt to commit some
petty robbery and is soon back in
prison again. He has already served
several terms here for larceny. How
ever, was sorry In one respect to
have him go and shall miss him
greatly"
Thompson has been given place
as servant in the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. James II. Peabody in this city.
but It is understood that he will soon
go to Denver TO accept a similar po-
sition in the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Cleghorn. whose butler he was
when Mr.. Cleghorn was warden OF

court when sentence was pronounced
upon him.
Another prisoner sentenced today.
for whom the public has more than
passing interest, is Clyde A. Brown.
OF Colorado City, who was given from
FIVE to seven years In the penitentiary.
Brown Is the young man who a few
months ago succeeded in cashing sew
eral forged checks here and was af-
forwards arrested at the instance OF
sheriff Esscr at Denver. Brown is
alleged to have had a somewhat re-
markable career as forger and is
said 20 be wanted for oiIcnscs OF that
character in half the states between

His FIRST forgery is reputed to have
been committed In Kentucky. but he
