The three foot bridge across the

and are now in use. They are cable
bridges and are built on the suspen-
sion plan. One of them is located at
the waierworks intake. another at
Monument Rock. about a quarter of a
mile above the railroad bridge, and
the other about a half mile beyond

ing from eighty to ninety feet and are
from ten to thirty feet above the sur-

They were built for the purpose Of

STRAWBERRIES ARE IN
DEMAND AND THE SUPPLY
NOT As LARGE As USUAL

With the supply from the Southern
fields unequal to the demand, which
has increased heavily during the last
week or ten days. Strawberries of the
best quality are at present selling at
twenty cents a box Although the sea-
son for shipping berries is well ad-
vanced. dealers do not expect prices
to go much lower until the home crop
arrives. which will be several weeks
yet. The indications are good for a
splendid yield of berries in the Canon
City district, but they will not come
into market as early as usual. The
Missouri berries have made their ap-
pearance in Canon City. having sup
planted the Texas and Arkansas pro-
ducts. II is possible that they will sell
for fifteen cents box, or two boxes
for a quarter. before the locally
grown berries crowd them out Of the
stores
New potatoes of fine quality are
selling at five cents a pound. Old po-
tatoes>are disappearing from the mar
ket, and, as result. prices are high.
They are selling at two dollars and a
half for hundred pounds.

that In the next few years the Cen

The practice of working convicts
on the road benefits everybody con-

secures the services of men who
otherwise would necessarily be sup
ported in idleness, and the cost of
construction Is reduced to a figure
which enables the building of several
times the milage of roads that could
be constructed under any other sys-
tenn. There is no competition with
free labor. and no honest workingman
Is deprived of employment under the

BIllnElMER ACCEPTS
NEWER SECRETARYSHIP

Denver, May 25.-Although having
declined three positions with the in
ternational executive board of the Y.
NJ. c. A., G. s. Bilheimer has accepted
the place of the general secretary of
the Denver Y. NJ. c. A. and was chos-
en- for that position yesterday by the
directors. For the past six years Mr.
BiIheimer has been state secretary Of
Colorado for the association. In the
course OF his duties he attracted the
attention OF the International officers,
who three times asked him TO accept
positions under them.
Mr.. Bilheimer has participated in
the growth of the organization in this
state. When he came here in 1896 the
total property owned by the Y. NJ. c.
A. in the state was valued at $65. 900.
while now it is worth $666,000. He
was general secretary at Canon City
for two and one-half years.
One OF the chief reasons why the To-
cal directors tried insistently to in
duce him to accept the position Of gen.
eral secretary was that he is init
mately acquainted with the local situ-
alton. He will take the place of F. l..
