CANON LODGE B. P. 0. E.
IN SPLENDID CONDITION

Canon City Lodge, No. $40, Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, is
one of the most fiourishing of its kind
in southern Colorado, and gives prom
Use of still greater influence and use
fulness. Although one of the more
recently organized of the fraternal or
ders of Canon City 1t Is one of the
strongest numerically, having at the
present time 3S9 members in good
standing. In addition it has twenty
five applications from candidates for
admission on file, which will carry
the roster well over the four hundred
mark.
It Is the ambition of the lodge to
have a membership of five hundred by
the close Of the present calendar year.
and there is every reason to believe
that the desired number will be reach
ed by that time.
A building committee has recently
been appointed by the lodge and It is
only a question OF a comparatively
short time when II will have its own
home. which, we have no doubt, will
be handsome and thoroughly up-to-
date establishment. Canon Citv Lodge
No. 610 is entirely out OF debt and
owns a splendid building site on Ma
con avenue. opposite the court house.
upon which its proposed home will
probably be erected.

WAR ON WHITE PLAGUE
WINS IN PENITENTIARY

Remarkable success has attended
the use of the Wright system of mer-
curial treatment for tuberculosis in
the state penitentiary here, and it h
likely that it will revolutionize the
methods of handling the great white
plague in prisons all over the country.
The system was installed here some
of the United States Naval Sanatori-
um at Fort Lyon, near Las Animas, a
personal friend of Warden Thomas }.
lyman.
Wright came 10 Canon City at Ty-
mans request and brought the neces-
sary apparatus for the administrator
OF the mercurial treatment, which
amounts to the injection of mercury
into the system in considerable guam
titles. and DR.. T. D. Palmer. the pris-
on physician. was instructed in the
treatment He pronounces 1t decid-
ed success.
There are fifteen convicts in the
penitentiary suffering with tuberculo-
sis. and practically all of them are
taking the treatment. The same sys-
tenn used at Fort Lyon is in vogue
here IN that the convict must vOiun-
teer in order to secure the treatment
It is not compulsory. Vast improve

has been under construction since Ty-

preparations have been made to take

5000 ACRES SIGNED
DURIHG ONE DAY

Something doing all the time" Is
what land owners hear who drop into
the office Of the Canon City. Florence
& Pueblo Water company, which Is To-
Gated in the Central block. This Is the
De Weese project. the headquarters
of which are at Canon City, from
where actual operations will be di-
rected during the construction of the
system
There is never a day passes during
which a large amount of acreage Is
not signed up. and If some of the
smaller land holders who own from
so 10 160 and 800 acres of land would
be as prompt in signing up TO take
the water when ready for delivery the
work of those in charge of the Pueblo
ofice would be Immediately facili-
tated. and operations az this end OF
the line would be FASTENED just that
much. over 5000 acres were signed
up Monday.
1t is conceded on all sides that this
project means more to Pueblo and to
Pueblo county than any other irriga-
ton project ever started in this sec
ton of the state. and land which for
centuries has remained a barren
prairie will. when the water from this
system is turned onto Ii. become as
valuable as any other land In the Ar
kansas valley. Scores of large land
owners have long since signed up to
take the water when the system is
completed. and those owning small
tracts will facilitate the completion
of this end OF the project greatly by
signing the agreement to take the wa
ter when ready 20 be turned onto
their land.-Pueblo S;ar-Journal-
