effect OF the decision is to strengthen
the position OF Mrs. oles in the suit.
and the opinion Is now widespread
among the lawyers OF this city that
she will be successful.
Johnson filed his suit several
months ago before he had documen-
tary evidence that Macky had prom

beneficiary OF his will. Later after a
trip to New Mexico he unearthed an
alleged contract signed by Macky by
which the latter agreed 10 will at
least one-third OF his property to Mrs.
Oles. Johnson accordingly hled an
amendment complaint setting forth

The motion OF the attorney gener-

new complaint was a departure from
the original. but Judge Garrigues rul-
ed that the action was substantially
the same and he indicated further
that the suit had been properly

GREATER PART OF TOPO-
GRAPHICAL WORK OF EN-
GINEERING CORPS COMPLETED

Should the present favorable
weather continue for another month

Of the Colorado Southern Irrigation
company. which consists of more than
a hundred men. will complete the
typographical survey OF the entire
10000 acres of land TO be brought
under the bitches Of the De Weese
project between this city and Pueblo.
Rapid progress has been made by the
men in the field since she first of Feb
ruary and an immense amount OF
work has been done In preparation for
the constructors who are to begin
operations as soon as the required
machinery can he brought here from
Kansas City and the men assembled to
inaugurate the enterprise. Readers
OF The Daily Record are more or less
familiar with the magnitude of the
work to be done and have some idea
Of it's beneficence TO the people of the
Arkansas valley. although this fea-
ture OF II cannot be overestlmated. II
is computed that seventy-five per cent
of all OF the money for construction
work. the greater part Of which will
be west of here. will be spent in Can
on City, and that business of all kinds
will take on an activity such as II has
not known In many years. Much OF
the heaviest part of the construction
will be the erection OF the main diver
sion canal from Texas creek down the
canon of the Arkansas river to Park
dale. which will have to be blasted
out OF the solid rock along the side Of
the mountains. This feature Of the
work will be one of the most pictur-
esque OF its character in the west and
will give employment to large num-
! ber OF men for a long period.

Well do you think 50 for a single

A new phone system could never
be established without the encourage

never attempt to start without the
encouragement of the business men
And a new daily paper cannot bs

It's up to the business man. II he
wants it-another phone system or
another newspaper-and is willing 10
pay for It. he certainly has a right
to the luxury.
It's always well. however. before
purchasing luxury. to consider the
cost.

business men OF the town more money

Do you think Canon City needs an

Well, you say one telephone system
reaches as many people as two and IL
there are two systems in the town. IL
you are a business man. you would
have to have both in order to reach
all the people-and to have the two
would cost more money-would add
an unnecessary expense.
It certainly would. 1t would add
about $4,000 a year In unnecessary
expense to the town and would give
nothing in return-nothing worth
while.
Yet, knowing this az well as you
do. IL a well posted promoter came to
town to talk up a new telephone COM
pany he would find some-a few at
least. who would be talked into the
scheme and who would encourage
him in the belief that such a company
was needed.
And Canon City needs another daily
paper Just as badly and for exactly
the same reasons as she needs anoth-
er telephone system.
Residence phones are cheap. so
the matter OF a phone or two in the
home makes little difference.
Business phones cost more. Res

Police With Riot Sticks Try To Sub

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-The business
OF the United States. Wells-Fargo and
Adams Express companies is practical
~ at standstill today. All of the ter
minals In New York. Jersey City and
Hoboken are stacked with undelivered
packages. Long trains OF cars jam
the sidings leading into the depots
filled with goods. much OF IL perish
able-waiting to be unloaded. Strik-
ers and strikebreskers are fighting in
the vicinity OF every terminal and the
police of the three cities, armed with
riot sticks, are at their wits end to
maintain peace. Up TO the present
time, however, no one has been fatal
ly hurt.
The strike. which originated when
the officials OF the United States Elk
press Co. refused TO pay the wagon
helpers Ave dollars a month more has
spread now until every express com.
pany In this vicinity Is more or less
affected The strike feeling is grow

The Transfers as an organi Zatton are
not on strike. The members have sim

with strikebreaking helpers on the
ground that the latter are not only
inexperienced, but that they do not
know who they are. lnasmuch as the
drivers are held responsible for the
safe delivery OF all express matter they
say they cannot work with men they
do not know SO despite the fact that
the drivers claim they are not on
strike they are at least not working
The Federation OF Labor and the
Civic Federation are trying to settle
the strike and John Mitchell, chair
