FIRE IN NASHVILLE
APARTMENT HOUSE

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 9.-Five per-
sons were killed in a fire that de-
stroyed a brick apartment house in
Jefferson street today. Several others
were rescued after narrow escapes
Two negroes were arrested on suspi-
cion OF knowing something about the
origin Of the fire.
The dead are:
MOSES FISHMAN, aged 27 years.
MRS. DORA FTSHMAN, his wife.
ROSIE FISHMAN, aged 1G.
MRS. ROSIE A. FISHMAN, aged so.
The fire broke out while the in
mates we're asleep. So great a head
way had it gained when discovered
and so intense was the excitement
that no organized attempt at rescue
was made for some minutes after
the fire companies had arrived on tne
scene. Four persons were carried out
from one apartment before 1t was dis
covered that none of the members of
the Fishman family had been ac-
counted for. Efforts to enter their ap-
artment were frustrated ny tbe
flames. The entire family perished and
with them Miss Markeson, who lived

from the position Of first seargent of

scholarship and fitness for the po-
sltion and Il Is seldom that first

MIR. GIBBS PREDICTS
ANOTHER COLD STORM

There will be another storm and
freeze about the fourteenth of this
month and all apples not under cover
will not be worth picking. You may
get the fifteenth and sixteenth to
pick but I doubt it, 1 make this pre-
diction on certain indications that
have not failed for thirty years. If
they fail this time it will be good for
those who do not get their apples
picked by that time.
This storm has been so long and
so much harder than expected, the
next may be lighter, but would rather
think the next storm will be harder.
Look for a big crop of all kinds of
fruit next year. as it will take a month
of good weather next spring to put
the fruit buds as far along as they
have been the last two falls on the
first of October. So unless something
besides a late frost ships in Canon
City orchardlsts will be in it next
year. GIBBS.

FACING FAMINE FOR
LACK OF ROAD

Telluride, Oct. 11.-Because OF the
washing away OF the railroad track
into Telluride five weeks ago by the
flood. this city has been without n
railroad ever since. and there Is very
little possibility of securing road In
here before Noymber Is.
As result OF this condition a large
percentage ftbe fule in tho place
has been burned. and Telluride Is
facing shortage of supplies OF all
kinds. At meeting Saturday OF the

ed urging the Rio GraDde officials to
take steps AZ quickly as possible to
get the line in running order again.

Aontrose, Oct lit begins to
look as though the main line of the
D. & r. C. railroad will again pass
through Montrose. During the past
week high officials have spent several
days here inspecting various routes
to lessen the grade over Csrro hill,
which is one of the steepest noun
tains of the entire system. The grade
is at present in some places as high
as per cent.
The new routes looked over are
planned to reduce the grade to III
per cent. The construction of short
tunnel near the present sumit of Cerro
hill is planned. The proposed line will
follow the mountain side until 1t
reaches the Uncompahgre valley sew
en- miles south of Montrose, where 1t
will unite with the present line at

ing application for help and IL any in
justice may appear in the matter 1t

Instead of going to the place to which
they were assigned, some injustice
may have been done. If such was the
case it was not the fault of the Mer-
chants association.
While the weather report is far
from agreeable to fruit growers 1t Is
not by any means certain that the
temperature will get low enough to-
night TO do material damage to the
apple crop, at least 1t is the universal
hope OF the community that It will

siders II one of the most delightfully."-
located towns in the Rocky Mountain

make Canon City a great summer re-

Dear Sir-I saw a piece in your pa

than comply with the laws.
beg leave to in form you that / am
one OF the dairymen. who quit busi-
ness. but differ from the statement OF
the cause You also stated that dairy
men who had complied with the laws
OF Canon City were still running and
doing their best 20 supply the people
OF Canon City with milk.
Now. will you please publish the
Canon City law that was passed on
about two years ago together with the
amendments. nearly six months ago.
so that my customers can go TO each
dairy wagon In the city and see that
there Is portion Of the law that none
Of them are complying with. They can
also go TO the city hall and ind there
has always been people selling milk
and butter milk. In the town. who had
never taken ont license. nor had
their cows tested for tuberculosis.
Now. will say that consented to
let Mr.. Houle vaccinate my cows one
year ago last August and later pur-
chased two more. which Mr.. Houls
thought necessary 10 vaccinate and
charged me one dollar each for vao-
clnating them. Will state that 4 num-
Der OF my cows were sick after they
| - la
have not been able TO use the milk
from one OF them yet. and one Mr..
, Houie claimed had tuberculosis and
ordered me 20 stop selling the milk
from her. which did. Then he or
dered me TO remove her from the bal
ance. OF the herd. which | did. but
would not tell me wha, to do with her.
He did not brand her in the forehead.
which he Is now doing. when he thinks
COW has tuberculosis.
brought the COW back to the cor
raj and sold her 10 one OF our re-
spective butchers IN Canon City but
went TO his slaughter house and told
him that that was the COW that Mr..
IToule had condemned for tuberculosis
and that | wanted 10 examine her
lungs and wanted him and that man
who butchered her TO examine her. al
so Mr. Houle 10 test her before selling
her for beef This We did and failed 10
ind anything wrong with her lungs,

l am sure l have never written
anything for the Record that has been
as largely read and as much appre-
ciated as this series of talks on
Building Up the Town"
This pleases me, not because of the
personal compliment sometimes i'm
piled, but because it shows the whole
town is thinking on this subject.
And if we-all of us-can get the
whole town to thinking on this sub
ject often enough and keep at it long
enough. we can do the business. We
can build up the town.
During the past week at least
hundred people have mentioned the
subject and have assured me of their
keen interest in the matter, especially
the tourist business, and have
pledged their hearty cooperation to
any movement that may be started
along this line.
Many people suggest the difiicultie'
in the way-and this is all right too.
for if there are difficulties. the sooner
we know of them, the better.
/ have heard a dozen times, that If
we could get the railroads to cooper
ate with us it might pay to go ahead
that what we neod most is a stop
over privilege on Western tickets.
Now, as matter of fact, we could
hardly ask for stronger cooperation
from the railroads reaching Canon
City than we now have.
1t is not generally known, but 1t
is a fact. that every tourist ticket
every ticket for that matter-from
the East to the Pacific coast via the
Denver G. Rio Grande. has a stopover
privilege at Canon City.
Don't forget that when writing your
friends back east Tell them when
going West to be sure their ticket
reads via the Denver & Rio Grande
because 1t will take them through the
famous Royal Gorge. over the grand
est mountain scenery in America, and
will give them a stopover at Canon
City.
AS 10 IHe SlOpONtT pNhtBcs WS
could not wish any more advantage
than we have at present-with stop
over privilege on every ticket passing
Canon City going both ways.
1t has been suggested we ought to
have special rates from the cities to
Canon City for the summer tourist
business.
| think we should. and | know we
can get anything within reason from
the railroads for II is to their ad-
vantage. more than ours. to build up
this tourist business just as large
as possible.
AS a matter of fact. the Denver G.
Rio Grande has. during the past sum-
mer. been selling tickets in Denver.
Colorado Springs and Pueblo. to Can
on City az one fare for the round trip.
These tickets have been on sale one
day each week. with a ten days re-
turn limit.
So that Is about as good as we
could ask for, considering the efforts
We have been making to get tourists
to make the trip.

volver against the head OF deputy

officer placed her husband under ar

Payne is charged with having COM

cape. He went to Cody. where Deputy
Sheriff Huston arrested him and Just
as he was about to take his prisoner
to jail. Mrs. Payne appeared with a
gun. which she pointed at the officers
head and ordered him to release her
husband.
Huston released Payne and compli-
mented Mrs. Payne on her nerve and
devotion. Then the Paynes boarded a
train for Toluca, Mont
Payne formerly resided at Sheri-

The Denver & Rio Grande has been
most liberal in its efforts to adver-
tise Canon City and Canon City at
fractions.
Every circular, or folder, l have
seen, l think, has had views of the
Royal Gorge, the Skyline Drive or
other local scenes. The menu cards
on the dining cars show views of the
Royal Gorge and the Sky Line Drive.
The views you have seen in some of
the national magazines have all come
from Major Hooper's office.
am sure no town on the Rio
Grande system has had more public
ity from the Rio Grande officers than
Canon City and l have never heard
of a request along this line being
made OF Major Hooper or Mr.. Wad-
leigh that was not granted.
So ! say we have, or can have. all
the cooperation from the railroads
that we want
The next greatest difficulty"
have had presented-and that by
many. too-ls the lack of hotel accom-
modations.
True we have not the hotel accom-
amodations TO handle a thousand tour
lists a day But we do have more room
than we hope to fill with the efforts
of the first year or two.
The two leading hotels can handle
two hundred extra people-two hun
dred more people than they have with
them today. Then the other hotels
can handle a hundred more. And
the rooming houses. with vacant
rooms today. can take care of another
hundred or two. That makes four or
five hundred people day.
We figure that If we could bring
a hundred a day here It would leave
10000 in town in the four summer
months.
We have hotel accommodations 70.
four hundred people.
So IL we could fill that up. we
would have $4,000 new money for
the summer season.
Pretty good. don't you think?
And here Is something we haven't
figured on. We have absolutely the
best winter climate in America Far
superior to Florida or Southern Cal
ifornia. because OF our perpetual sun
shine. The Winter Climate is worthy
OF n story by itself. but is mentioned
here merely to say that II we can fill
the town up by some supreme effort
during the summer. the friends Of
these summer tourists will give US
about all We can handle during the
winter time.
Isn't 1t worth going after7
Isn't 1t worth a $1,000 campaign as
a starter7
Don't you think II would be easy
TO find thirty men or firms in Canon
who could well afford to invest 800
each in such an enterprise7
II there are any other difficulties"
in the way OF starting this campaign
for the tourist business, would like
to know OF them now

One of the best Farmers Union men in
Georgia sent the Union Meas some very brief
resolutions, on the death of a locally prOmi-
nent and most excellent citizen, who was de-
voted to the Farmers Union The Farmers
Union paper which just such men as those
who requested the publication of the resolu-
tons are loyalty supporting, replied that the
Uma0n Nea0S was "a national paper, and these
things" the deaths of prominent Farmers
Union men "0re just local afairs'
The editor and manager of the Farmers
Union organ are gentlemen ftender feeling,
aren't they? They make loving ''brothers'' in
the Union, don't they?
AS fine man as Georgia can boast, as true
a Union man as could be found, dies in his
prime, after a long and painful illness. His
friends seek to sOOthe the sOrrOwing family
by adopting 81 few lines of loving tribute to
his memory. Naturally, they wish to see this
little testimonial in their official organ, their
cherished Union Neaos They make the re-
quest, only to be told, that the Union NeaoS as
q national paper, which can not condescend to
take any notice of ''these th571qs", because they
are nothing but 'z0caz affairs"
To this unfeeling reference to a good mans
untimely death, "Brothers" Duckworth and

that the resolutions be sent to 'y0w county
paper".

George Keppel.
In Continental Europe, immense sums are
annually squandered by wealthy, pleasure
loving, vulgarly -extravagant American tour
lists.
Throughout the foreign world, there exists,
among Intervening debauchees and dead
beats, steadily growing demand for Ameri-
can helresses, whose fortunes equal their van

Duchess.
Flowing abroad, in rivers of gold, are other
huge annual sums of American money, paying
tribute to the foreign investor.
Then again, the total amount of savings
carried out Of this country by the inning grant,
the Italian, the Chinaman, the Jap and the
Hindu must be enormous.
What are the he0daO0ters of all that aUeazth?
The field the mine and the forest the cat
tie ranch, and poultry yard; the vineyard,
truck-farm, and fruit orchard; the melon
patch, the nursery, the flower garden and the
berry bush-these are the sources of the as
tonlshlng accumulations of dollars which ex-
cite the wonder and the cupidity of the whole
world. But do the actual workers in these
marvelously productive fields of industry en-
JOY the riches which grow under the Aladdin
like touch of their hands? Is our present
system of distribution based upon the prin-
ciple that he who produces wealth should en-
JOY his equitable proportion thereof?
Not at all The law creates monopoly for
the Sugar Trust; and the holders of its stock
get ten per cent. yearly dividends on $5OO0O,-
600, when it's honest investment was but
$6,500OO0.
The law creates a monopoly for the Steel
Trust; and holders of it's stocks and bonds
draw revenues from 81 ,5OO,OOOOOO of capital
ization, when the investment was less than
