From Wednesdays Daily.

We have always noticed that when
our Colorado fruit is thinned and
is more evenly distributed over the
tree 1t allows greater opportunity for
uniform development. The smaller the
number of fruits, the greater will be
the supply OF food for each and the
result will be larger size and better
color. The tree will make moderate
growth, set fruit buds for next years
crop and ripen its wood so as to be
immune from winter injury. With
varieties that naturally produce crops
biennially, thinning may tend to en-
courage the habit of bearing annual
crops and this Is the very thing we
are trying most to accomplish here in
Colorado by a system which the
Field and Farm is pleased to call the
new horticulture. We know that one

The thinned trees did not set as much
fruit last year as did the unthinned
trees. but It was more evenly dis

With aprlcots, the trees thinned early
and severely produced fruits of such
size that seventeen weighed one
pound while on the unthinned trees
of the same varieties thirty fruits
were required for one pound. The

COMMISSION form :
OF GOVERNMENT DIS
CUSSED BY COUNCIL


The regular session of the city
council last night was much shorter
than usual and was devoid of any
special interest so far as legislation
was concerned. A number of matters
were brought up for consideration.
but they were largely of routine
character and were disposed of in
short order.
Perhaps, livilier discussion was
evoked by the resolution introduced
by Alderman Cyrus Weaber request
Ing the mayor to appoint committee
of three members of the council, to
Investigate the adaptability OF the
Galveston" or commission form of
municipal government for Canon City
than by any other subject. In view
of the fact that the members of the
council were not familiar with the
workings of the commission form of
government from personal know
ledge it was decided best not to adopt
the resolution, but, instead instruct
the city attorney to look up a law in
the matter and report the steps that
would have to be taken to make tthe
change from the existing system OF ad-
ministration to the commission plan.
A motion was adopted requesting the
city attorney to examine the prcpo-
sition and report the result of his re-
search at the next meeting of the
council, to be held Monday evening
Sepatember 5th.
While the councilmen generally ap-
peared to have a good opinion OF the
commission form of municipal ad-
ministratin there seemed to be con-
siderable doubt whether 1t was ap-
plicable to local conditions at the pre-
sent time. While the system appears
to have accomplished wonders at
Galveston, and to have adjusted IT
self nicely at Des Moines, Iowa, there
was on assurance that it would do
as well here. Alderman Wallace
seemed to echo the general opinion
when he said that the people of Can
on City had better sit on the fence
awhile and see what 1t was going to
do in other places" Mr.. Wallace ex-
pressed the belief that Theoretically.
at least it was step in advance OF
the present representative system OF
government and thought the coun-
ell. as well as the public at large,
ought to study the new form Of ad-
ministration.
The finance and water committees
OF the council, to which was referred
the matter of looking up the bills and
ascertaining whether the city owed
Messrs. Lumsden & Gordon anything
in connection with the construction OF
the waterworks system made a re-
port which was excepted and ordered
placed on file. At the time Messrs.,
Lumsden & Gordon were relieved
from further responsibility in relation
to their contract with the city the sum
OF twelve thousand dollars was re-
served from the amount originally
agreed upon to finish the work and
the committee found that little
more than thirteen thousand dollars
had been expended. consequently no.
thing was due them. The city clerk
was instructed taco write to Messrs.
Cañon City record., 1910-08-18

Lumsden & Gordon and inform them
that the city was not indebted to them
for any work in connection with the
water system.
A petition was presented to the
council by H. F. shepp asking for an
extension of the water main to his
premises just beyond the northern
boundary of the city. AS Mr.. Shepp
is willing to pay water rental of
forty dollars year for the service
asked for. coupled with the fact that
others in his neighborhood have ex-
pressed a desire to be connected with
the city W. .er mains. the matter Of
making the proposed extension was
referred to the water committee with
power to act.
A petition was presented to the
council by Orrin b. Potter for license
to keep four billiard and pool tables
at 429 Main street. An indemnity
bond in the sum of five hundred dol
lars. signed by orrin B Potter as
principal and by A. E. Sharman and
David L. Robinson as sureties. was
filed with the petition. On motion the
application was granted and the Ii
cense ordered issued as provided by
ordinance.
Bids were read for the removal OF
the bell tower from the fire depart
ment headquarters on North Fourth
street to Harding's addition, but were
rejected by the council as excessive
one OF the bids was for the sum of
one hundred and forty dollars and the
other one hundred and thirty five dol
lars.
BY a unanimous vote the coun-
Gil adopted a resolution to furnish
water free of cost from the city mains
for maintenance OF a trout basin and
fountain at the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad station. The construction OF
the basin and the installation Of the
foundation. 1t is understood. will be
done at the expense OF the railroad
company.
H. w. T.. Wallace on behalf OF the
beard OF directors OF the Fremont
County Fair association brought up
the matter of an appropriation for the
support of the fair 10 be held next
month and the sum OF two hundred
dollars was voted from the mIscel-
laneous fund for that purpose. The
has made an appropriation
of a like amount for the fair every
year since the organization OF the as
sociation.
Some complaint that people have
been hauling off wood from the Royal
George park without permission from
the city authorities 1t was decided by
the council last night TO have signs
erected there prohibiting such action.
The city Will not permit the cartlng
away OF any kind from the park and
all violations of Its orders in that re-
spect will be punishable under the
law of trespass. The members of the
sidewalk committee were instructed
to order such repairs to the surface
of the concrete sidewalks about town
as was needed to put them in first
class condition. After some other
business. principally of a-routine char
acter, the council adjourned
