LESSON LEARNED FROM
THE NINTH STREET BRIDGE

sItion requested by large number of
tax payers Il ought TO be granted of
course. So the bridge ought TO be
built
But how about the road to the
GorgeI
More taxpayers have signed a
strong petition urging the immediate
building OF this road than are inter
ested in any one bridge in the county.
In convenience and pleasure afford
ed It means more to more people over
the county than any two bridges in
the county.
In dollars and cents II will bring
more direct returns TO the county and
Canon City than any three bridges in
the county.
In cost the road will amount to
about one-third as much as the Ninth
street bridge.
Now here is another lesson learned
from the Ninth street bridge.
In the spring when large as
sembly OF business men and taxpay-
ers backed by petitions signed by
more than 600 people called on the
commissioners about this road they
we're told that the commissioners full
iy appreciated the importance of the
road and would build II II they had
the money But that there was no
money and was absolutely no way to
get the money. and no way to start
the road until they had the money In
hand.
At the time some thought that this
was a mere pretext for putting the
thing off. for many present knew full
well the power and authority OF the
commissioners In such matters.
Since then tho Ninth street bridge

1t is the belief OF the best informed
orchardists and fruit dealers about
town that the apple crop OF the Can
on City district, now being harvested,
will bring one million dollars into the
community; the largest sum OF money
ever received in a single year by the
horticulturists OF Fremont county.
Many of the Jonathans and other va
rieties now being shipped to market
are bringing the growers $1,000
a car. which is largely in excess of
the amount they have paid for that
class of fruit at any time during the
last ten or fifteen years.
Conservative estimates place the
apple crop of this district at from
twelve to fifteen hundred car loads.
which. with the high prices prevailing
all over the country this season. is
easily worth a million dollars. Ordin-

hundred dollars. but the exceptional
conditions existing this year have
greatly increased their value. There
were pessimisticaliy inclined people
here last spring. who expressed the
epinion that the fruit crop was ser

iously injured by the frost and that
horticulture here had been given a
black eye In consequence of 1t. In
stead OF the predictions OF these
prophets OF evil being fulfilled local
fruit growers have a bumper yield,
so much SO. in fact. that they hardly
know how to meet the problems pre-
sented by an almost unprecedented
product.
The apple crop here this year is as
exceptional in quality as in quantity
and has no superior in any state or
locality in the Union. All varieties OF
apples have colored up magnificently
during the last few weeks, particu-
larly the Jonathans and Ben Davis.
and will go upon the market IN splen-
did shape.
Canon City fruit long ago estab-
llshed for Itself a high reputation for
quality: a fame that will be augment
ed by this years crop. Fremont coun-
ty people made but little noise about
their horticultural achievements. but
without ado are delivering the goods"
worth a kings ransom Such a crop
as we have here this year needs no
herald; II speaks for itself.

an abundance OF water is assured for
both Orchard Park and Park Center

speedily come to pass.

Since the recent excursion to Grip
pie Creek by number OF the business
men of Canon City TO look over the
big reservoir being constructed for
the Park Center Land & Water Co,
much favorable comment has been
heard on every hand regarding this
enterprise. Many of the former kick
ers" have been turned into boosters
for this proposition. Everyone who
has an interest Ia the welfare and
progress OF Canon City should put
their shoulder to the wheel and help
this good thing along. There is no
one thing in sight for the immediate
future that will so greatly benefit
Canon City as the full development
and settlement of all the irrigable
lands North and Northeast OF our city.
When these lands are fully developed
they will be- capable Of supporting

STUDENTS GOVERNMENT INSTI-
TUTED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

cutes them without reference TO any
legislative or judicial body. which
takes away all participation and re-
sponsibllity OF the governed: a sys-
taem directly opposed TO the Amer
lean idea OF administration.
The "citizen-Tribune" plan Of
school government originated with
Prof. John T. Ray. principal OF the
John croar school in Chicago. about
fifteen years ago and was found to
work so satisfactorily that II was
soon adopted by other schools in that
city and has since spread all over the
United States. enrolling hundreds u,
thousands OF students in its ranks. II
appeals TO the best instincts OF the
pupil and gives him his first lesson
in civil government. therefore assists
him to that high citizenship which the
Republic imposes. Under the Citizen
Tribune" plan OF administration the
teacher does not surrender any OF his
preroEatives or authority. but ceases
to exercise them in so far as the
pupils will undertake TO carry on the
government OF the school.

The institution of the -cttiren-Trib-

explained in detail in the Daily Record
Of last Saturday. took place on Mon
DAY afternoon and was an interesting
ceremonial. There were number Of

designed for tho purpose OF giving
the pupils n share in the government

which II imposes. As stated in these

MORE THAN EIGHT
THOUSAND CONvICTS HAVE
SERVED IN THE -PEN- HERE

The records of the penitentiary here
show that up to the present time 1861
convicts have been registered and that
the number now lncarcerated there is
722. For long time after the prison
was established here no registry OF
the prisoners was kept and 1t is I'M
possible 10 ascertain how many men
have done time" there since its in
stitution back in territorial days. but
1t is estimated 10 be considerably in
excess OF 5000. The first name to ap-
pear upon the register is that of John
Shepler, who was received at the pris-
on on June Is, 1871, under a sentence
OF one year for larceny. Sheyler was
sent here from Gilpln county. The
names Of twenty convicts have been
entered on the prison rolls since the
first OF the current month.

was washed out The necessity SEEM
ed great. SO of course the commits
s.oners found they could raise the
money and the contract has been let
for the rebuilding of the bridge and
the contractor is at work on the job.
This requires the large sum OF
$500 which is the contract price for
rebuilding the old steel bridge.
Not only this-but some fancied
concrete bridge. The commissioners
asked for a price and got bid OF
$4,000 for a concrete bridge. Then
they made a proposition to the city
and South Canon that II these towns
would contribute $4,000 each the coun-
ty would put in $1,000 and build the
concrete bridge.
Cañon City record., 1909-10-07

This proves one thing very definite
ly-that If the commissioners see the
needs of proposition they can raise
the money all right.
1t also proves that this year they
had or could get s11 900 for the Ninth
street bridge. Now they have con-
tracted for bridge at $500 sc they
have shown us that they have or can
get that other $500 which they did
not use for that bridge.
So wouldn't 1t be a good PROPOSE
ton to put that unused balance-that
$500 or as much as is needed-into
this Royal Gorge road, which after all
is of just as much importance-more
in fact to the whole county-thaR the
bridge?
Cañon City record., 1909-10-07

A long time ago II was suggested
that we could get along without the
Ninth stree; bridge Just about as well
as We can get along longer without
the road to the Top OF the Gorge
That II the Ninth street bridge
should be washed out We could get
along without IL. after n fashion. That
Of course II would be inconyenient
and work hardships on some but that
We could get along Just as we have
been going along without the road to
the Gorge.
Since then the Ninth street bridge
was washed out
II has proved inconvenient Of
sourse-bnt It has proved absolutely
the prediction referred TO above.
The people are getting along with
out It very well.
Now here is the point at issue:
Just because the people can and
have been getting along without the
bridge is no reason why II should not
be rebullt-is it7
ana just because the people can
and have been getting along without
road 10 the Gorge is no reason why
It should not be built-is it,
As a matter OF fact the reasons for
the immediate rebuilding of the one
are no stronger than the reasons for
the immediate building OF the other.
Both are county roads and both will
help the county and Canon City-one
Ia as necessary as the other from any
business standpoint
Now mark you. this is no argument
against the immediate rebuilding OF
tho Ninth street bridge. 1t cannot be
rebuilt too soon for the convenience
and pleasure OF large lumber Of tax
payers-and being q sensible propo-

Jones over on River street who has
rooms now we're getting $40 a day
from tourist roomers. What do you
suppose she would do with that
money?
She would most certainly spend
every cent of 1t in Canon City. She
would use more and better groceries.
more and better clothes, more and
better hats, and pay cash every month
for the Daily Record. She would re-
furnish the house and redecorate it

nothing more. But there is a more
lasting feature to It than this.

Bring a thousand people to Canon
City from the East for a few days and
few of them will come back to spend
the winter or send some friends here
who are looking fer just such a elm
ate and such a town.
Out OF these we will soon accumu-
late many permanent residents.
In the Middle Western states there
are thousands OF well TO do people
who are coming West to live. They
take a tourist trip first and locate
where fancy dictates.
The high price of farm lands of
Kansas. Iowa, Illinois and other such
states is making 1t possible for thou
sands of farmers to sell out and re-
tire TO a life of comparative ease. To
such Canon City and our suburban
tracts appeal especially strong.
II is plai 10 see how all this will
help the house owner. and real estate
man and build up the town in a pc,
manen; and substantial manner. 1t
will fill the vacant houses and divide
up the fruit farms into smaller
tracts. 1t will fill up our vacant lots
and will add greatly to the price of
our fruit lands.
So l say that We have in Canon City
the making of the biggest, swellest
little city in the state OF Colorado,
and think the best way to make
start is to go after the tourist busi-
ness and go after 1t next spring.
