 A dozen well known educators and scientists, selected in large part from in stitutions of learning in the south where the parasite is prevalent. were called in conference with MT. Rockefellers rep resentatives at the Standard Oil com pany's offices at 26 Broadway last Tues day, and at that meeting MT Rocke- fellers desire to organize a commission to carry on a campaign against the mal- ady was discussed. As a result of this discussion of the situation the "Rocke- feler commission for the eradication of the hookworm disease was organized. The members of this commission as se- lected by MT. Rockefeller are:
 Dr. William Welsh, professor of pathol- ogy in Johns Hopkins university presi- dent of the Medical associations; Dr. x Simon Flexer, director of Rockefeller In- Nstitute for Medical Research; Dr. Charles .NW.

 Addressed Letter to Each.
 In calling these gentlemen together for Tuesdays conference MT. Rockefeller ad- dressed to each letter pointing out his interest in relieving the human suffering caused by the "hookworm' parasite, especially because, he said, 1t had been his pleasure to spend a portion of each year among the warm-hearted people Of the south and he welcomed the oppor- tunity to express appreciation of their many lSindnesses and hosptalities.
 The members of the commission in framing reply to MT Rockefellers offer of $1 ,000.000 declared that the proposition met with their heartiest appreciation.
 Two millions of our people are in fected with this parasite they added. .It is by no means confined 70 one class; it takes its toll of suffering and death from the well to do as well as from the less fortunate"

To the Baseball Fans,
Regarding the inquiry pub
lished in the Mo Valley Times
few days since asking what
position the candidates for
Mayor would take on the Sun
day baseball question | have
this to say:
/ take it for granted that the
rank and file of the baseball
fans know that it is not a Grim
inal offense under the Iowa
Statutes to play baseball on
Sunday. I shall, if elected, en-
deavor to enforce only such
laws as already exist and not
make any new ones.
1t is we'll known fact that
during my former administra-
ton no effort was made on my
part to suppress or hinder Sun
day baseball and | know of no
reason why | should cha nge
my attitude at the present time
in regard to that matter.

ANOTHER REAL ESTATE
DEAL INVOLVING LARGE SUM
WAS CLOSED SATURDAY

A transaction for a large tract OF
orchard land was closed last Satur-
day whereby the Minnesota Realty
Company secured control of a large
suburban territory north of the city
known as Orchard Park, formerly
owned by s. II. Atwater. This tract
consists OF about 700 acres and is ad-
mirably adapted to horticulture. a
large part of 1t at present being de-
voted to alfalfa and fruit growing. 1t
Is located about a mile from Canon
City, or rather East Canon. and faces
the south on a gentle slope. being OF
almost exactly the same variety of
soil as that of the famous orchard of
Capt. B. F. Rockafellow in Fruitmere,
the pioneer fruit ranch Of the Canon
City district.
r. w Irish OF this city. who has
been here for only a few months, but
who has come to like this section of
Colorado very much, has associated
with him his brother, still living at
the old home in Minnesota. together
with J. w. Landen and w. II. Mcclure,
both old residents of this community.
and the business of the company will
be carried on by them at 619 Main
street Since coming here Mr.. Irish
has purchased considerable city prop
arty and feels that this is an ideal
time to undertake the handling of a
large orchard tract With his broth
er, who is a prominent banker in Min
nesota, he is interested in the owner
ship OF large body of land in North
Dakota. and is an excellent judge OF
realty and of its possibilities for re-
munerative Investment.

the feeling of the people In general
is toward expansion of the fruit belt.
especially as there will be much
money ready for investment as soon
as the crop Is fully marketed.
Mr.. Irish, who is president of the
Minnesota Realty Company. is young.
strong and well accustomed to bust
ness. and it is quite evident that he
will not hold the land very long. for
his motto is. "Do 1t now" He will
make a quick move OF the tracts in
the transaction.
Mr.. Atwater, who closes out so
nearly all OF his interests here, in this
transaction, has been closely con-
nected with the business interests OF
the city for about twenty years. We
shall be sorry to lose him from our
business ranks. but for some months
he has been considering an offer To
go into railroad work. which work he
has come to like very much. but could
not give an answer to the proposition
until this deal was closed. 1t is now
| quite likely that Mr.. Atwater will
leave Canon City about the first OF
the year However. the family will
remain for some months. at least un-
til the school year is closed. for his
son, Reginald NJ. Atwater, is in his
senior year in the high school and de-
sires to finish his studies before leav.

has continued his work from the first

cupied by the intermediate depart

UNUSUAL SCENE IN THE
DISTRICT COURT ROOM At
PUEBLO LAST SATURDAY

Four times sent 10 the penitentiary
for forging as many checks, each for
less than ten dollars, is the record
of E. F. Fora of Pueblo, who was
last Saturday afternoon sentenced by
Judge Essex of the district court in
that city to serve from eighteen
months to two years in states prison
for forging the name OF Reiss Broth
ers, druggists, to a check for four
dollars and fifty cents.
An unusual scene occurred at the
trial of Ford. who committed forgery
on each occasion. He said in pleading
for a light sentence that he would
never touch liquor again. and Judge
Essex asked him II he would take an
oath to that effect. Ford agreed to
take the oath after being warned that
to break It would be to commit per-
jury.
He stood before Judge Essex and
swore never to take another drink,
and the sentence was then imposed
on him. Ford presented letter to
Judge Essex from Warden lyman OF
the state pepItentiary, which recon-
mended Ford to Manager Ellington
of the Colorado Supply company as
