In TACT, never before have the fields
OF America yielded such bOunteous
harvests as they are going TO this
year, It being estimated that the total
value OF farm products for the first
time In the United States win pass the
O0oOO0.O0o mark. Corn alone will
make the American farmer not far
from $500. 100000 richer this year than
he was last
The wheat crop this year VIII be at
least 668, ,000 900 bushels, and experts
say that 1t Ia not likely to fall below
$1.10 a bushel for long time to come.
That means $729.OOO.OO0 worth Of
wheat win soon be on the way to the
elevators. Last years harvest was
600, 100000 bushels. and It brought
$500 900. 90 the American wheat
farmer win have 100000. 900 more to
spend from that source than he did
the year before.
The reason wheat IN worth more
than a dollar bushel, which used to
be a price that the farmers dreamed
Of, Is not because the crop In this

little below the record crop Of 1906.
But there has been a shortage In the
wheat crop all over the world for the
last two years. and it looks as II this
years yield was going to be scant also.
Outside Of America, Europe depends
largely on the vast wheatfelds Of
Argentina for her bread. Thirty per
cent less wheat was sown there this
year than last, and 1t Is estimated that
the yield will be 100000 bushels
less. All this benefits the American
farmer.
The American farmer viii get over
$00OO0,O 900 more for his crop OF oats
this year than he did last. In 1908 the
yield was 7S9,O00 900 bushels, and It
sold for 1921, 100000. This years es-
innate is 963.O0O. 900 bushels, which at
the minimum price Of 20 cents a bushel
would bring In the huge sum Of 1885,
100000. Only about a million and
half bushels OF oats are exported. Not
all the rest goes to feed horses and
cattle by any means. The 100000
automobiles In this country have cut
down the number Of horses and the
consumption Of oats correspondingly.
This decrease has been more than
made up. however. by human beings
eating more oats than they used to-

The Firm of Manning & We1lman of
Ottumwa, Iowa, Purchased All of
Ragsda1e g. Sons Property IN
Reynolds Heights Addition
Ownership of Three Hundred and Thirty Lots Was
Conveyed In the Transfer

Our beautiful Skyline drive, one OF
the most picturesque roadways in the
United States, has been an agency in
bringing about the sale of property in
the northern part of the city, having
value OF many thousands of dollars.
About two weeks ago Calvin Manning
OF Ottumwa, Iowa. was in Pueblo, and,
learning OF the Skyline drive, came
here 70 see its beauties. While max
ing the excursion he concluded, like
the Queen Of Sheba after her visit to
the court OF King Solomon ut Jerusa-
lem. that the half had not been told"
and he decided to make some invest
ments in this city as he was convinced
that the community had a splendid
material future.
Crop conditions and the general air
OF prosperity which he observed here
assured Mr.. Manning that there was
no place in the west that offered any
greater Inducements to the home-seek-
sr in the matter of health. climate,
beautiful surroundings and the means
OF making a living, than Canon City,
and he at once began to seek an op-
portunity for the purchase OF prop
erty.
Mr.. Manning is member OF the firm
of Manning & wellman OF ottumwa,
Iowa, owners and platters OF city ad-
dltious and suburban ianGs. The firm
Is now engaged In mapping additions
in La Crosse. Wisconsin; Mankate,

that purpose because OF their growth

The board of county commissioners
this morning decided by a resolution
to begin the construction of a public
road to the top of the Royal Gorge
and Parkdale as soon as possible after
the necessary right-of-way had been
provided by the business mems COM
mittee. Work Will be commenced in
a very short time and will be carried
on until finished without undue delay.
The business mems committee, be-
ing greatly interested In the PROPOSE
ton as a public enterprise, will as
sumo all engineering charges in con-
uection with a completion Of the sur
vey, which, Charles l. Milton has
agreed viii not exceed one hundred
dollars. Mr. Milton has promised TO
give his personal supervision TO the
building OF the contemplated highway
without expense. which viii minimize
the cost OF the undertaking.

IN THE ROYAL GORGE ROAD

Warden lyman was seen yesterday
about furnishing men for the road
work on the new Royal Gorge road.
Mr.. lyman says that he has demand
for all the men he can supply for road
work, bat that II Fremont county
wants TO build a road TO the top of
the Royal Gorge. he will certainly
lind some way OF supplying the labor.
He says he has always been inter
ested In that road and wonders that
it has not been built long ago.
The more the warden talked OF the
Royal Gorge road the more interested
he became. and he says that he would
like TO push II along this fall while
the weather is nice and get II done be-
fore the cons are needed for ranch
work In the sping. He offers TO use
every resource at his command TO
make this a fine road and to make II
quick
The community is certainly indebt-
ed to the commissioners and to the
warden for their interest in the road.
II It can be pushed through this win
ter and opened up before next spring.

At the instance of the county COM
missioners a partial survey for a new
public road to Parkdale was made via
the top of the Royal Gorge by Charles

a practicable route. Mr.. Mitton's re-

way and that it could be built at a
surprisingly small cost and easily be
maintained.
From a scenic standpoint 1t would
