The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreader disease that science has
been abb to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sitting nature in doing its work. The
proprieors have SO much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.

FIGURING ON ERECTION
OF ALFALFA MILL

within the last few years the pro-
duction of alfalfa meal has been very
successful and many cattle feeders
prefer 1t to the unground alfalfa. In
eastern Colorado and western Kansas
mills are being erected in many
places. The demand for the meal is
far in excess of the supply. Not only
do cattle and horses thrive on this
feed. but 1t is used largely for feeding
OF poultry as well.
Mr.. j. w. McCaughey of Colorado
Springs, mill wright of much ex-
perience in putting up these alfalfa
mills has Just come to Canon City and
Is planning to build nice home Just
north OF the city under the Park Cen
ter ditch. He is already getting the
lumber and materials ready. when the
weather grows little better for
building operations.
The building of the new Park Center
reservoir gave Mr.. McCaughey con-
fidence to undertake the building on
the land which he has owned for sew
eral years. which he now expects to
make his permanent home.
Mr.. McCaughey is figuring on the
erection of mill near to Canon City
and this would be n good industry and
make demand for the alfalfa produced
here.

Editor Reocrd:-The interest being
created by the leading articles In your
paper as we'll as the active enlistment
of the Business Mems Association in
the necessity of more and better raods
into and out of Canon City, is not al
together new Back in 1872 mass
meeting was called to consider If
better road could not be built from
Canon City to the Wet Mountain val
ley country and l was sent up to ula
to look out better route and to con-
suit with Mr.. Joseph Davis, the post
master and principal citizen there. l
have reason to recollect the trip as
the morning after reaching there the
thermometer stood at 32 degrees be-
low zero while making my return trip
home. My report was satisfactory,
but no measures reculted to make
good of it. Somewhat later in the
same year after a similar meeting OF
citizens l was again sent to see If
direct road from Canon City to Colo
RADIO Springs might not be found prac-
ticable. At this time the rails of the
narrow guage Denver and Rio Grande
railroad were being spiked down at
that new town and Canon City thought
not unreasonably that if a stage line
could be established to make con-
nections that a better than a bi or
tri-weekly mail could be had. l rode
over the country with Mr.. Huntley,
who at that time had been beguiled
into buying or trading for few city
lots. Quite long stretches of country
were found in places that were NEARLY
a trail, but no doubt existed in my
mind that the road could be built
within fifty mile limit, with scarce
ly any grades and very reasonably.
Again I made an exhaustive report
detailing necessity, practibility and
cheapness, and again Canon City fell

A wOMAN's PRIVILEGE


1t is a woman's privilege,
And she should claim the right
Not to allow her husband
To stay out late at night.
1t is a woman's privilege,
The assertion is not rash,
That she should have a proper share
OF all her husbands cash.
1t Is a woman's privilege.
The thought is not absurd,
That in domestic argument,
She should have the final word.
1t Is a woman's privilege.
To let her husband know
That she'll attend a woman's club
When e'er she wants to go.
It is a woman's privilege,
To keep herself we'll dressed.
For she should always strive to look
Her very level best.

LIST OF new BOOKS
At the LIBRARY

The benefits of the Kirmess which
was given a short time ago, are now
being realized by the patrons of the
public library. A large number of new
books, bought with the proceeds of
the entertainment, have Just been
placed in circulation. While this Ii
brary is above the average in its num-
ber of patrons, there are many resi-
dents here who do not avail them
selves of the privileges offered. The
small sum of ten cents pays for a
card and enables the holder to read
twenty-five books. The privileges of
the reading room and reference de-
partment are entirely free to all.
whether card holders or not. The Ii
brarian and assistant are glad to be of
service in any way and will take
pleasure in finding material on any
subject desired.
The list of new books is as follows:
Fiction.
Alden-Ruth Erskine's Son.
Bacon-Idyll of All-Foll's Day.
Bailey-Colonel Greatheart.
Bassett-Judith's Garden.
Beach-Spoilers.
Bindloss-Delilah of the Shows.
Bower-Sure of the Dim Trails.
Burnham-Dearly Bought.
Burnham-Dr. Latimer.

Burnham-Miss Archer Archer.
Burnham-Miss Baggs, Secretary.
Burnham-Wise Woman.
Burton-Three of Kind.

POPULAR NOVELS AT
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Most libraries find it difficult to
supply the demand for late fiction
without sacrificing other departments
which are believed to be of more real
and permanent value to the commun-
ity, and consequently plan Is being
generally adopted whereby some Of
the fiction may be made to pay for
iself. The trustees Of the Canon City
library have decided to try this plan
and aside from the new books pre-
viously listed, they have purchased
twenty-five popular novels which will
be rented at five cents per week, until
they have brought in sufficient money
to pay for themselves. They will then
be removed tfrom the pay list, and be
issued the same as other books, and
the money reinvested. The indications
are that the plan will meet with great
success, as during the short time that
they have been in circulation almost
the entire number has been rented
constantly.
Following. is list OF the books
mentioned above.
Benson-Lord of the World.
Bindloss-Long Odds.
Booth-The Postgirl.
Bower-Her Prairie Knight.
Bower-Range Dwellers.

HEAVY SNOWFALL IN

The snowfall on the upper water
eral years; in localities 1t has been
the greatest in years. while but few
correspondents report less than the
normal fall. AS abnormally cold
weather has been general. and high

small, Prior to brief mild period In
December, the snow, was dry and un-
packed; subsequent cold packed the
snow and added a heavy crust-a con-
dition favorable to slow melting and
a late flow. The outlook Is very fav-

Idea for Panama Canal.

1t is now nearly 400 years since the
first proposal was made for the Pa.
mama canal. A canal was suggested
as early as 1920 by Angel Saavedra.
but for long time all such sugges.
tons met with determined opposition
from Spain, who made it a capital of.
fense to seek or make known any i'm.

Mimicry in Fishes.

In a lecture on fish photography at
the Royal Photographic socieuy's exhi
bition. DR. Francis Ward said that the
power which certain fish possessed to
change their color in harmony with
their environment resided in their
eye. He placed pike in such a posi-
tion that its head was in a dark cham
ber while the rest of its body lay in
bright sunshine. Although its resting
place was perfectly white the pike re-
mainea black In color. But when he
reversed its position and caused
its head to be in the sun
light its color changed to a
very much lighter hue within the
space of a few minutes. 1t was evi-
dent that in fish which possessed pro-
tective powers of this kind to a great
er extent than birds or any other
creatures, the light acted upon the OPP
tic nerve, thus causing the pigment
cells all over the skin to contract or
