HOT WATER To IRRIGATE
AND WARM FRUIT TREES

A unique system of irrigation, in
which a natural flow of warm water
is TO be used for the dual purpose of
supplying moisture to fruit trees and
preventing the fruit from freezing in
the fall and spring. is soon to be put
In operation near Canon City.
The project, which is being financed
by Thomas c. Pease of Colorado
Springs, carries with it the construc-
ton of a waterworks system for the
town of South Canon and the suburbs
OF Lincoln Park and Prospect Heights
that will cost $4,000. Mr.. Pease will
underwrite a bond issue for this
amount for the South Canon Water
Company. which already has obtained
franchise from the city. The maxi
mum price is set at 25 cents per 1000
gallons of water.
The irrigation phase of the new pro-
ject is attracting much attention, as
II is said TO be the first known in
stance OF hot water. especially from
a natural source, being used 10 pre-
vent the freezing of fruit In orchards.
The water flows from a stratum of
rock underlying a tract of land In
South Canon. II is said that with
the completion of the project 1,400
acres OF choice fruit land situated six
miles above Canon City will be put
on the market.
Mr.. Pease stated yesterday that he
intends to place the bonds on sale

MISS SKINNER CROWNED
QUEEN OF APPLE SHOW
BY GOV. SHAFROTH

Denver, Jan. S.--"Queen Apple. L.
was crowned last night at the royal
palace. Six thousand loyal subjects
of the newfounded realm acclaimed
her in soul-searching chorus and
when she smiled upon them from her
golden throne they hailed her again
and again in thunderous refrain.
Never did queen begin her reign
more auspiclously. for all about her
were the living witnesses OF bound
less prosperity. And when her brill
liant servitors called Long live the
queen" their prophetic vision told them
that the reign of the apple dynasty
would never end In Colorado-the
land of eternal youth.
AS she knelt among her dazzling
encourage Mabel Skinner. the chosen
princess. from fair Fruita. received the
iewelled crown from the hands OF
Governor Shafroth. who read n pro-
clamation announcing the establish
ment OF the kingdom.
In glowing phrase II referred to
King Apple, but that was simply a
metaphorical flourish. for the ruler OF
the realm is Queen Apple and she
reigns alone.
In spite of the haste with which the
coronation ceremonies were prepared
they were carried out with much eclat.
Many who took part in them were pale
and nervous, but happy IN the happi-
nees OF their queen.
