BIG HOLIDAY BUSINESS
At THE POST0FfICE

The sale OF stamps at the Canon
City postoface for Christmas letters
and holiday packages this year prom
ises to eclipse all records for such
purposes. Thousands OF letters and
post cards bearing Christmas greet
ings and messages have been mailed
at the local Office during the last few
days and the number OF outgoing
packages containing presents is be-
lieyed to be unprecedented. On Tues
day the sale OF stamps alone, which
did not include any special orders
from the banks OF other business
firms, was two hundred and fifty-one
dollars and en- Wednesday the rev
enue from the same source was two
hundred and twenty-seven dollars. In
GLIDING last Saturday and Monday,
and the remaining days this week. the
stamp sales will be considerably in
excess of one thousand dollars. which
overtops the postal receipts here for
the corresponding period twelve
months ago. The incoming mail is al
so extremely heavy and the postoffice
clerks and letter carriers are nearly
overwhelmed in their efforts to take
care OF it.
The money order department at the
postoffice has likewise been busy and
large amount OF cash has been trans
mitted by Canon City through that
agency to relatives and friends in 9TH
er parts of the country. How much
money has been sent out in that way
it is impossible to ascertain. but is
known to aggregate a very consider
able sum. Taken in conjunction with
the money orders sent out by patrons
of the express companies and the
drafts issued by the banks to their
customers 1t is safe TO say that the
Christmas gifts of the people of the
Canon City district to friends in other
places will total several thousand dol
lars.

sonnet THAT 4
COURT MUST KNOW
ABOUT THE FLAG


The unniIitary salute of the U. S.
nag is generally considered to be
thus: Remove the hat. holding it in
the left hand, which is straight down;
place the right hand over the heart,
and bow the head slightly.
History of the Flag.
October the ninth, 1774, general
Washington wrote that, NO such
thing (as Independence) is desired by
any thinking man in America"
The first continental flag appears TO
have been that flown at Cambridge,
January 1776. 1t consisted of thirteen
bars, red and white, for the thirteen
Union Jack, for, up to that time. most
Americans expected a friendly settle
ment with great Britain. 1t was
known as the Grand Union Flag.
King Georges i'll advised ultimatum
received early in January. 1776. put
new color on affairs, and Washing
ton, apparently for the first time, ac-
cepted the idea of complete indepen-
dence. January 4. 17T6. This neces-
STATED a new flag without the SYM
Dol OF British sovereignty.
There is little doubt that Washing
ton himself designed or assisted to de-
sign the first flag. and about the first
of June, I776, General Washington,
Chairman Robert Morris and Colonel
George Ross went to call upon the up
holstery OF Betsy Ross. at No. 239
Arch street, Philadelphia. and placed
the order for the new flag. II consist
ed of the thirteen stripe, red and
white. and thirteen six pointed stars
on a blue ground to replace the Union
Jack Betsy Ross pointed out tina,
the more pleasing FIVE rayed star
could be cut by one clip of the shears
on the folded stuff They accepted
her amendment and the flag was
made.
1t was used thenceforth as the coun-
try's emblem. but not formally en-
dorsed by congress until a year later
when the following apears in the
journal of congress: June I4,l777
Resolved that the flag OF the United
States be thirteen stripes alternately
red and white; that the union be IL
stars white on a blue field. re.iresent-
ing a new constellation.
On may. 1795, to represent also Yer

called for further change. On Iuly 4
of that year the number of stripes was
reduced 10 13 and the number of stars
TO twenty and provision made for the
addition of a new star for each state

addition 10 take effect he fourth OF

FEDERAL SURVEY
FOR RICHMOND

Congressman Knowland of Oakland
visited Richmond Wednesday to make
himself more familiar with the water
front of that city so as to use what in
huence he can toward getting govern
ment aid for its development
Knowland was met at his office in
Oakland by a delegation of prominent
Richmond citizens. and on reaching
Richmond a large delegation there
escorted him through the city, visiting
the factories and showing the new I'M
provements in the street work. and
after visiting a number of the indus
tries such as the Richmond furniture
company. the Standard oil company and
the Santa Fe shops. he was taken to
Nichols point, where he was given a
birdseye view of the proposed Rich
mond harbor-
The congressman was impressed most
fayorably and stated that he would use
his utmost endeavor to get the govern
ment to send engineers to survey that
portion of the water front. They would
then report what seemed to be the most
practical way to improve Richmond
harbor. With this information the city
could proceed with the work and later
on doubtless get aid from the govern
ment.

Success of Builders Who Offer
inducements to People TO
Make Their Homes Here

That people will buy. homes and
come to San Francisco TO. live if they
can get attractive houses in highly
improved neighborhood is shown by
the success of the Urban realty inn
psovement company. 1t began busi-
ness last January. At the end of six
months it had a subscribed capital of
something over 100000.
1t determined to increase its SUBJ
scription to capital stock to 100000
and found il necessary to Increase its
board OF directors from to II. Two
of the four new members to be elected
have been decided upon, namely. Rolla
V. Watt and Robert D. McElroy. The
other two will be selected from some
OF the new incoming men. Nearly
enough subscriptions have been prom
ised to take all Of the stock to be Of
fered.
The company has actually built at
Richmond heights q houses, besides
six built and sold in its smaller tract
between California and Clement streets
and Eighth and Ninth avenues.
Twenty five sales of houses and lots
have been made at Richmond heights
and two sales have been made for
houses 70 be built for which plans
outside of tracts owned by the COM
pany have been made. making total
sales, OF 80 houses and lots, ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000
It is probable that this company will
acquire additional holdings in different
parts of the city so as to be able to
accommodate all comers for homes
However. its main object is to build
moderate priced homes, ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, TO accommodate the
great population that is now being
driven across the bay and down the
peninsula for want of more room and
lower priced homes
1t hopes to be able to open more
tracts. where lots will ne so feet in
width that may be sold for less money
than is now being asked for 25 foot
lots and where good comfortable one
and two story bungalows may be built
that will be homelike and attractive.
at a less cost than is possible for
homes in cramped condition in
thickly populated districts of the city.
This kind of enterprise is what the
city needs. Some of the best men in
the city are interested In 1t, but the
field of operations is large and there
is room for profitable Investment for
more capital in this class of develop
ment work.
