WORLDS RECORD FOR

All worlds records for mail hand

of 100000 pieces of mail sent out
by a catalogue house, one days total
nearly reached the mark OF 10000. 900
pieces of mail. The batch of 5000, 900
catalogues filled sixty mail cars,
weighed 1875 tons and the postage
amounted to 100000, quite tidy sum
for one days mailing. In the last
year the receipts from the Chicago
post Office were 314.0O0,O00 and the
expenses $5.000.000. The growth Of
the mail order houses and OF the pub
fishing business In Chicago has made
big figures of day familiar to the

fishing company mails each month
over two million copies OF the wo-
mans World and uses a total OF a.
900 mail sacks. and several other
publishing houses mail issues OF sew

The friends of the good roads move
ment in Canon City and Florence and
they include practically everybody In
two communities, should not allow
their interest in the contemplated
highway from the Arkansas valley to
Colorado Springs to eclipse their in
terest in the construction of the pro-
posed public highway to the top Of
the Royal Gorge. There is room for
both enterprises, and, that they are
badly needed, goes without question.
There is legislative appropriation
for building the Colorado Springs
road, but by no means sufficient to do
the work on the lines laid down by its
promoters, and an appeal will be
made to the generosity of those most
largely benefited to contribute in
financial way to tn, undertaking.
The Royal Gorge road will receive
no assistance from the state, although
all of the people of Colorado will be
beneficiaries. Whatever is done in the
matter of it's construction must come
from the people of Fremont county
who, of course, will reap the chief adj
vantage from such a highway.
That the taxpayers of Canon City
and Florence are anxious for the
building of public road from point
near Three Mile Spring to Parkdale
by way of the of the Royal Gorge
is matter record; the proposition
having been Endorsed in petition
filed with the county commissioners a
couple of months ago.
Everybody that has had occasion to
make the trip to Parkdale on the
north side of the river realizes the
necessity for a radical improvement
of the road, and the same will apply
with added force in relation to the So
called road to the top of the Royal
Gorge, which is, in reality, little bet

METHODISTS FREEZE up

Do you know why it turned out so
cool about six o'clock last evening
1t was because the Methodist boys
allowed their base ball thermometer
TO run down to zero" Yes, that is
what they got against the Christian
Sunday school. Those Christian fell
lows had little more ginger and
boosted their thermometer up to sew
en-. That was not so bad for a cold
evening. You see they warmed up a
little. Seven above zero was the way
the game closed. The Thompson
class got the Zero" and the Christ
ians seven above. 1t was a good game
too.
