Canon City Girl Marries
A New Mexico Man

different prevailing styles to make
this gown unusually distinctive.
The brides going-away suit was of
dark blue broadcloth. She wore a
hat to match, which, while not dis
tinctively turban, it seemed to have
somewhat the effect of that style of
hat Mr.. Gatewood wore blue serge.
The bride and groom left on train
No. 10 for Pueblo, where they, viii
take train ON the Colorado & South
ern for Roswell, and will live for the
present at Rose Haven. the home OF
Judge and Mrs. Gatewood.
Mrs. Gatewood is we'll known in
Canon City and is we'll thought of and
esteemed. She Is popular among her
many girl and boy friends here and Is
well liked by the older folks also. She
was a member of the class of Naught
Nine of Canon City High School and
is one of the first out of that class to
assume the responsibilities of married
life. Her engagement and marriage
to Mr.. Boyd Gatewood is the culmin-
alton of a love affair extending over
a period of two years or more.
Although Mr.. Gatewood was born
and raised in Roswell, and has been
one of the most prominent and well
thought of young men OF that city, ne
could not see HIS WAY NltdI W olus
his native town, that is, after he
had made visit to Canon City and
had met Miss Rose Lines. The result
was that he has been resident OF
this little city for some time past.
During that time he made many
friends who know him as straight
forward gentleman who sought the
esteem and respect of everyone. He
has now, however, taken his bride
with him to his home in Roswell. II
is only in that one instance that
friends do not concur, because it is
with deep regret that they see Mrs.
Gatewood depart from them. Among
the out-of-town guests who were at
the wedding we noticed: Mr.. and Mrs.
W. p. Wilbar, Miss Airline WilbaT, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. p Mcconnell, Mr.. and Mrs.

FLORENCE NEWSPAPER
MAN is HONGRED

Florence, Nov 15.-At the annual
meeting of the Sacramento Star com
pany of Sacramento. California. last
week. E. H. Carpenter, formerly of
Florence and connected with the
Daily Tribune as circulator. was
elected vice president and general
manager OF the company. Mr.. Car
penter was also appointed general
business manager of the company.
Mr.. Carpenter was also appointed
general business manager OF the Fres-
no Tribune and Berkeley Independ-
ent and entered upon his new duties
at once. His headquarters will re-
main in Sacramento. Mr.. Carpenter
entered the employ of the Star COM
pany as advertising solicitor at the
time of its establishment in Novem-
ber. 1904. Two years later he was
made manager of the paper, posi-
tion he filled with distinction and
credit, which fact is now recognized
in his promotion. He at one time was
an extensive property owner in this
city and is well known here.

PUEBLO TO HAVE
UNION STOCK YARDS

Pueblo, Nov. 15.-With three rail-
road companies, local commission
men and numerous stockmen favoring
the project, it was stated yesterday
that Pueblo is TO have union stock
yards.
There are numerous reasons for ad-
vocating union stock yards for this
city, which are being put forward in
the arguments that are being made
by those behind the movement The
principal reason, however. appears to
be to prevent Denver from closing
up Pueblo as a livestock center. Pu-
eblo is undeniably Denyer's rival as
a stock shipping point, and natural
ly any blow at that industry in this
city benefits those interested in the
capital city, and that city as whole.
Consequently It can be seen at a
glance that It is to the interests OF
the commission men, packers and
shippers of Denver to do all in their
power to injure Pueblo as ship
ping point.

OIL DERRICK BURNS

Florence, Nov. 15.-Tbe usual quiet
of the Sabbath was broken last ev-
ening about o'clock by the mournful
howl of the fire whistle. The blaze
proved to be the derrick of well No.
90 of the Florence Oil and Refining
company located just south of the
Rio Grande tracks on Denver street
The fire department responded
promptly but the flames had gained
such headway on account of the oil
soaked wood in the derrick. that no
attempt was made to put water on
the burning mass. The efforts of the
department were directed. however,
to saving the adjoining property.
The fire was witnessed by several
hundred people and it was a pretty
sight as the flames leaped high into
the air.
The well was being drilled deeper
and a force of men was at work
when the fire occurred. II is the opin-
ion of the workmen that the fire
started in the belt house. but from
what cause they are unable TO ex-
plain. The loss is between $4,000 and
$1,000.

W. 4. Chapson. who came over from
the San Luis valley the first of last
week to vote at the elections on
Tuesday. sold his interest in the
Chapson-H -Headlee ranch, near Hoop

from the cattle business so far as that
section of the state is concerned. Mr..
Chapson will return TO Hooper in a
few days to complete the details Of
the transaction and turn over the
property to A. f. Headlee. the pur-
chaser. In addition to the realty,
something like 1900 head of cattle,
40 head of horses. 700 tons of hay and
a large amount of farming machinery
are involved in the deal. The value
of the property to be conveyed to Mr..
Headlee aggregates many thousands
of dollars.

Rose, the younger daughter of Sem
ator and Mrs. Lines, became the wife
of Mr.. william Boyd Gatewood, the
son of Judge and Mrs. w. w. Gate
wood OF Roswell, New Mexico. this
morning. at nine-thirty o'colck at the
family home, at SIS Main street. 1t
was just a plain, simple wedding, yet
is was beautiful because of its SIM
plicity There were no decorations
except palms which were placed here
and there in the front parlor where
the marriage occurred. Just few
friends of the family and the young
girl friends of Rose were all the
guests that were present to witness
the ceremony. The Reverend J. It.
Thomas of Denver, read the marriage
ritual of the Presbyterian church.
The ring ceremony was used and was
very impressive. Miss Lila Smith
sang, 20 Promise Me- accompanied
by Miss Lulu Lines, a sister OF the
bride. Immediately afterwards Miss
Leila Dickinson played Mendelssohn's
Wedding March, to the strains OF
which the bride and groom took their
places before the minister. Miss Dick
enson played softly all during the
ceremony.
Refreshments were served soon af-
ter the Congratulations OF the as
sembled guests had been received by
the newly married couple. Just be-
fore the happy couple were to be mar
ried several kilograms were receiv-
ed from Mr.. Gatewood's parents and
friends in Roswell. extending felicita-
tions for the occasion.
Many beautiful gifts were on dis
play at the home. showing plainly the
regard and esteem in which the num-
erous friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Gate
wood hold them. Mr.. Gatewood gave
his wife a beautiful diamond brooch
as token of his great love and res
pect
For the wedding ceremony the bride
wore a beautiful gown of Lavender
broadcloth. No particular style SEEM

sign of the creation and most artistic
taste was displayed in the selection
of the various effects taken from the

WHY sALVIsS FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMf
They Clog the Pores Only Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the oid-fashioncd theory of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the eczema germs are
lodged.
This-the quail y of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in ID. d. D. Prescrip-
ton. After ten years of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
s1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scripfion, we have arranged with the
d. d. D. Laboratories Of Chicago
for a special large trial bottle at 25
cents on a special offer now. This
first bottle ought to convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate. It will
surely take away the itch at once.

NO SURPLUS OF GOOD FRUIT.

1t is an interesting fact that the
great extension of fruit growing, in
all parts of the country, has been
attended, not by a decline in prices.
but by very considerable advance.
The question whether or not the mul
tiplication of orchards and berry
patches will have the effect of pro-
ducing a glut. so as to render profit
less the labor and expenditures OF the
fruit grower. seems. then. very like
ly to meet a negative reply.
In the first place the demand for all
the fruits of North America is world
wide. The worlds appetite for them
is Unsuitable; and as the facilities for
distributing them are better system
atized through intelligent cooperative
arrangements between growers and
transportation agencies, and selling
agencies in the cities, it seems as
though the problem is to be. not how
to get rid OF surpluses. but how to
get enough of any kind of good fruit.
In years OF great abundance of fruit
in American apple orchards. good
apples have sold in Mexico at 15c
apiece. In London they have retail
ed at Csc apiece. Other fruits. capable
of hearing transportation long dis
tances, have commanded proportion
ately high prices. or course, these
prices have been for choice fruit. In
New York and Boston, even 10 and Is

Col. Young, and my new friend sug-
gested that we go in and meet the
Colonel, which 1 was glad to do-al-

Col. Young was very cordial. AL
though a very busy man, as he con-
ducts a paper on par with the Rocky
Mountain News, he laid his work aside
and said he wanted to know about
our road making out in Colorado, and
after a little chat he directed one of
the young men to fix up story"
about the convict built roads near
Canon City.
After that was fixed up, Col. Young
said, Have you seen the town?"

that I want to do 1t. We want no

"As to the taking up of the time of

man who is interested in the develop

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROWERS

able for choice apples.
Such exceptional figures as those
above quoted. are not, however, neees-
sary as basis for profitable fruit
growing The moderate prices paid
by the mass OF American consumers
are sufficiently high for that; as in
thousands of houses our people are
learning to prefer fruit. at such mod
crate prices. to many another article
of food, which they have heretofore
demanded.
The improvement of canning pro-
cesses and the cheapering OF appar-
atus has also its effect in insuring
market for fruits. Fruit farmers
are not now dependent on Gamer
les" Recent inventions enable them
to do the canning themselves.
II would seem then, that the grow
er need only see to It that his fruit
is of good quality. attractively put
up and intelligently marketed. to be
certain of reasonable reward. But
the day when neglected orchards and
bushes could be depended on to pro-
duce salable crops has passed The
grower OF today must be equipped by
study for battling with insect pests;
must be insistent in cultivation and in
the use of the sprayer; and must, in
short, give as close attention to his
trees as the stockman does to his cat
tie. the doctor to his patients. or the
merchant to keeping his stock OF
