INMATES
HELP IN ORCHARDS
WITHOUT GUARDS

Denver, Oct. 15.-Secretary Collett
of the Business Mems association has
just returned from visit to Canon
City and he reoprts that the peni-
tentiary is in the best shape in its
history. OF the 732 inmates over 80
per cent are on the outside working
on the roads or in the apple orchards,
while some are hired out and none
are under guard.
They are working on the merit sys-
TEN entirely. A feature of the last
week at the prison was the fact that
the warden allowed a number of
the prosiners to go out into the apple
orchards around Canon City and help
gather and box the apple crop In
order to save 1t from spelling.
Thehe men were not guarded and
in some instances would not get back
to the prison until after dark, yet not
a single one failed to return. One man
was allowed to go to a ranch so
could not get other help that he had
to be gone three days. but on the ev-
ening of the thir| day he showed up
as had been his promise.
Inside the prison walls the same
generally good condition prevailed.
The new hospital is about completed.
the officers dining room has been
abolished and they eat down town
or at outside boarding houses. The re-
pairs all over the prison are about
completed. Mr.. lyman has started the
school. classes being taught by pris-
oners and everyone who desires may
attend so many hours a day.
The last thing that Mr.. lyman
said to Mr.. Collett when he left was,
Give me five hundred acres of land
and in ten years l shall not ask for
penny's appropriation from the
state. The institution will be self
sustaining"

Guy u Hardy, Canon City, Colo.
Dear Sir:-Your decidedly welcome
copy of the Canon City Record at
hand, and I have read it with much
interest.
There is every evidence of your in
tent and effort to give your readers
a thoroughly true and reliable de-
cription of the country. There is
very plain evidence that you allowed
yourself to be influenced consider
able by lavish entertainment, for
example by the contractor of the
Cordova railroad, and Governor Hog
gat, the latter | take decided excep-
tions to, in almost the entire article.
The former, you have been misled by
false statements which you could not
be expected to verify.
Nevertheless, they are of such a
nature that it makes practically no
difference and on whole the articles
and very good and interesting.
Thanking you for the copy, 1 am,
Yours truly,
P s. HUNT.

ways found a friend ready to help
and more than one unfortunate re-
ceived a new start at his hands. His
game was for the rich-it was not one
for the toiler.
After the state legislature outlawed
gambling a few years ago Brown went
to Oregon. finally drifting into the
copper and gold belts in Nevada,
where he and his associates operated
the whirling wheels of fortune, and
though his partners became possessed
of worldly goods he grew rich in
friendship.
Much of the money he had received
as head of the gambling houses in
the Northwest was expended by him
in making the way easier for others.
And then he destroyed the tools of
his trade and went to work In the

venture. and In a few years a drink
cry in a city under 100000 will be a
rarity.
What is more. am glad, because
the saloon has claimed more victims
one way and another than all the 9TH

this statement I do not except gamb-

subject is not very clear. unless II Is
