THE sMITHFIELD HAM.

The producers OF what is perhaps the
most famous delicacy that comes out
of Virginia, the Smithfield ham, are
wrought up by the efforts of a Rich
mond man to appropriate the name OF
their world-famed product as his ex-
elusive property. An effort has been
made to register the name "Smithfield
Ham" as trade mark.
Congressman Maynard was appealed
to in Norfolk by telephone and tele-
graph, ycs.a day, by the people at
Smithfeld. who would be robbed Of the
right 10 use the name under which
their product has been sold for 800
years, should the patent office grant
the application Of the Richmond man:
Mr.. Maynard Immediately telegraphed
a long protest to the commissioner OF
patents, at Washington, citing the fact
that the secret Of curing Smithheld
hams had been learned by the early
settlers from the Indians.
He has represented in strong terms
the irreparable damage that would be
done the producers Of Smithfeld hams
by the granting OF patent rights on the
name Of the product, and asked thai
the application be refused.

PREDEIACTI0N FOR ACTRESSES.

According to an announcement from
Davenport, Iowa, by Mrs. A. Bruner,
mother OF Mrs. Beatrice Bruner God
frey, an actres, the young woman is
engaged to marry Jay Gould, son OF
George J. Gould. This is denied, how
ever, at the offices Of the latter's father
in New York.
Mrs. Godfrey figured in a romantic
marriage to Arthur w. Godfrey, a
Boston millionaire, with whom she
eloped few years ago, but later Sc
cured a divorce from him. She Is at
present a member of Anna Held,s
miss Innocence" company, which is
playing in London.
Theatrical marriages seem to run
in the Gould family, and if young
jaw Gould is really engaged to Mrs.
Godfrey he will be merely following
the example of his father, who married
Edith Kingdom, an actress, the mar
riage having proved very happy one.
The preference of the Gould boys for
women OF the stage was also evidenced
in the wedding of Frank j. Gould,
whom his first wife had divorced, to
Miss Edith Kelly, and in that OF
Howard Gould to Miss Katharine
Clemmons. whose troubles have had
an extensive airing in the country.

When informed yesterday that the
summary court-martial of Thomas
Carol, the negro soldier who drew a
pistol on the Virginian militiaman at
Gettysburg instruction camp, had been
resumed and concluded by General
Wotherspoon, at the camp, Governor
William Hodges Mann expressed his
feelings rather strongly. He said:
That is a queer way OF doing busi-
ness. thought they would at least
notify me Of the decision OF the secre-
tary of war. Evidently they DO not
want the Virginia soldiers in the future
Joint maneuvers, and Twill see Senator
Martin and learn what can be done in
the matter. l am very muchasurprised'

CANON CITY MERCHANTS ASSN.
ASKED TO TAKE PART IN
CONFERENCE AT la JuNTA

10 the La Junta convention. but 9th
ers have as yet neglected to do 80.
The benefit OF such a conference is
readily apparent, and l hope the Can
on City commercial organization will
take the matter up at once and let me
know what to expect from them.
There is great deal of work to be
done in the valley this year and we
should be about II without delay. OF
course. the first thing we want to do
is to make the Eighteenth National
Irrigation congress as great a success
as possible because it is the greatest
gathering that ever came to the val
ley. but after that is over there is
still a wonderful work to be done and
the central organization can most ef-
fectively do IT."
The suggestion OF Mr.. Faxon that
Canon City be represented in the La
Junta conference Will, probably. come
up for consideration by the mer-
chants association next Monday or
Tuesday. The object of this meeting
is an excellent one and delegates from
every town in the valley should par
ticipate In its deliberations.
Cañon City record., 1910-03-24

r. II. Faxon. director of publicity
for the Eighteenth National Irrigation
congress to be held in Pueblo from
the 26th to the 30th of next September
has addressed a letter to the Canon
City Merchants association asking 1t
to take some action In relation to the
proposed conference of representa-
tives OF the various commercial orga-
nizations of the Arkansas valley to be
held in La Junta during the last three
days of next week The object of the
contemplated conference at La Junta
is to discuss arrangements for the
formation OF some central body. per-
haps. to be called "The Arkansas VAL
ley Development Association" which
shall be for the purpose OF more sue
cessfully promoting the interests of
the valley. including the national ir-
rigation congress to be held in Pu-
eblo next fall. In the course OF his
letter Mr.. Faxon says: Il have writ
ten to the officers OF every commercial
club in the valley, both in Colorado
and Kansas. and have heard from
most of them. Several of them have
already selected their representatives

SOUTH CANON BOYS VIC
TORIOUS OVER NORTH
CANON At BASKET BALL

From Saturdays Daily.
Last nights game of basketball be-
tween North and South Side high
schools closed the series OF games
scheduled. The South Canon boys
won two out of three games played
and claim the championship in bas-
ket ball for 1909, 1910.
The two teams were very evenly
matched. as shown by their games
with each other and with other
schools. In spite of this fact the feel
ing between the two schools was the
very best, and all who have been to
the games have been delighted with
the gentlemanly and sportsmanlike
behavior of the member of both teams.
The accurate and impartial work of
Professors Bauer and Shelter did
much to prevent any chance of wrong
feeling.
This closes the most successful and
pleasant basketball season for South
Canon high school. Trips have been
made to Pueblo. Victor and Cripple
Creek. Salida and Buena Vista, while
Salida and Pueblo have played here
losing to South Canon. The boys lost
one game and captured two in their

SANTA'FE TRAIL MONUMENT
GIVING COLORADO PUBLICITY

Pueblo. March l7.-one of the big
gest things in the Arkansas valley
Just now is the New Santa Fe Trail
movement
The editor OF one of the Kansas City
newspapers recently said it is the
biggest things in the west"
That is the general impression. and
The great thing abou; it is the fact
that nothing save the Eighteenth Ma
tional Irrigation Congress has ever
given such widespread publicity to the
Arkansas valley.
For the trail movement is essential
ly an Arkansas valley movement. II
had its inception with two Arkansas
valley newspapermen in Kansas. The
first conference that resulted in the
definite play was held At Hutchinson,
in the Arkansas valley. The same is
true with the recent executive and
publicity committee meetings, at KIns-
ley. Lamar. La Junta and other val
ley towns have recently held Trail
meetings. and Pueblo is actively en-
gagged In the campaign.
The Trail starts at wichita in the
Arkansas valley. and spur Of Il at
Newton. Kansas They meet at Hutch
inson. and proceed up-valley to Pu-
eblo. The Trail. for the most part,
follows closely the old Santa Fe trail.

way. The rooms were decorated in
green and white in honor OF st. Pat

the whole evening was planned with
the St Patrick idea in mind. On en-
tering the parlor each guest was met
by the reception committee who
pinned on tag bearing the name and

Of attraction for a considerable per-
iod OF time. DR.. Lamb had the su-
