CANYON CITY ON. UPGRADE
New Buildings and important Improvements
Being Pushed to Completion With Others

mission at Austin, were referred
to the Commercial Club of this
city for their approval. The
Club without a desenting voice
petitioned the Commission for a
larger and more commodious de-
pot than that proposed by the
Railway Company. At the pre-.
sent rate of growth our city will
have some six thousand people
within the next eighteen months
and since the city or rather its
people, have paid out in the way
of bonus nearly $200,000.O0 late.
ly for new enterprises, thereby
increasing the property value of
the Railway Company as well as
creating them new business, the
people of Canyon City are of the
opinion that they are entitled to
an up-to-date and commodiOus
depot.
The machinery for the new
steam laundry is now on the
track ready for installation.
When installed it will be one of
the largest steam laundries in
the west.
The contractors have about
two-tbirds of the work done on
the sewerage system and pro-
mise the completion of same in
about ten days when they will
start to work on the city water
mains. This system of water
and sewerage when completed
will cost about S30,00000 and
will be owned and controlled by
the city.
The furniture and fixtures of
the First National Bank have ar
rived. These fixtures cost some
$5,000.00 or more and when
placed the First National will
have one of the prettiest homes
in the entire country.
The furniture and fixtures of
the First State Bank of Canyon
are on hand and this institution
only awaits their charter when
they will be ready to do business
This bank will occupy the quar-
ters recently made vacant by
the first National when it moved
into it's new S30,000.00 building.
This institution is composed of
some of the best and most in
fiuntial men of our city and a
growing business is predicted
for it. Canyon City is known
among the life insurance com
panieS of Texas as a live town,
there being a Canyon man as
director of the Amicable of
Waco, the Lone Star of Dallas,
the Home of Ft Worth and Am
arillo Company of Amarillo.
Upon a little calculation it was
ascertained that Canyon people
held life insurance stock in these
various companies to the amount
of S100,000.00.
A $4,000 pressed brick plant
a $4,000 Touring mill, an ice
plant, an alfalfa mill, a new
opera house and new $4,000
Baptist church are some of the
new things we are to get.
In building line Canyon is
forging to the front, Mr.. j. T.
Service having recently com
pleted an S9,000.00 home near
the Normal, Mr.. r. A. Debbs a
$1,000 home on 1st and Pecos
streets, Prof. Foster two hand
some cottages on West Evelyn
street and Mr.. Turk a $4,000
residence on West Huston.
There are some twenty or more
plans in the hands of the arch
itects from people who are going
to build new residence, one of
which is a large two story brick
or stone by Mr.. Jno. Begrin.
A new 100000 three story
brick hotel is now under contem-
plation by former residents of
Canyon who want to come back
and help boost Canyon.

The American Magazine COM
pares prices in Detroit, U. S., and
Windsor, Canada. These two
towns are separated by a half
mile Of river. The same hat that
costs S. in Detroit can be bought
for So in Windsor, and q suit of
clothes that sells for $25 In Detroit
can be bought for SIS in Windsor.
Both hat and suit are made in the
United States and the laborer gets
the same wage for making each.
The tariff enables the manufac-
turer to rob the consumer in De-
troit, while In Windsor he has to
sell in competition with the world,
Id the consumer does not have to
ay royalty to millionaire trust

Congressman Eugene Foss,
Massachusetts manufacturer, said,
upon the floor of Congress, May
81, that the "Payne-Aldrich revis-
ion of the tariff was a deliberate
bunco game from start to finish"
When a New England manufac-
turer admits as much, it's high
time for Missourians to repudiate
the Republican senator and con-
gresham who assisted in working
this bunco game upon their constit-
uents.
