CANON CITY IS
BEING BOOSTED

there would be more than double the
traffic between the two cities, which
would mean an increased business. 1t
should be such that automobiles would
make the trip between the two places
without danger of break downs on ac-
count of the poor road, and farmers
and others could drive over it with
good results.
1.-The meeting at Canon City was one
of the most profitable for the entire
valley that the association has ever
held. There were delegates present
from the many cities in the district,
who took interested part in the discus
sions of subjects that will help their
respective towns and much good will
follow that particular session. The
Business Mems association enter
tained us after the morning, taking US
over the Skyline drive, throughout
the business and residence districts Of
the city and to many other places of
interest We were shown the great
farming and fruit sections around the
town, the prosperous conditions being
very apparent without our attention
having to be directed in that respect.
"we also noticed the beautiful nat
ural scenery in the vicinity of the city.
The place possesses manw wonderful
features that no other point in the
Rocky Mountain region can boast. For
that reason Canon City should be
made the official summer resort of the
Arkansas valley. 1t should be so that
where there are hundreds of tourists
visiting there in summer there would
thousands. Nothing could prevent
1t being much more attractive than 1t
is and the residents OF the valley
should cooperate with the citizens Of
that town in making 1t so.
with Canon City as such, the tour
lists from every state in the union who
annually flock to Colorado to spend
their summers would be placed in po-
sition to better realize the advan-
tages of southern Colorado. While
there are, of course, great numbers
who come here every year there is no
reason why there should not be more
and action should be taken along those
lines"-Pueblo Chieftain.

Build a good road from Canon City
summer resort of the Arkansas valley
is the idea of Secretary ]. H. jenkins
of the Pueblo Commerce club, who
returned to his Office yesterday after
attending the monthly meeting of the
Arkansas Valley Commercial associa-
ton in Canon City, and later making
a trip through the valley.
At the meeting last week there were
present representatives of practically
every city in the Arkansas valley, the
representation extendingeven into
Kansas. The meeting is declared to
have produced certain affairs that will
result very profitable to the district
included and after a completion Of the
business session, the visitors were
guests at social gathering at which
the Canon City Business Mems asso-
citation was host. A trip over the Sky
line drive, famous for its enhancing
features, luncheon and sightseeing
expedition over the city and to prin-
cipal scenes of interest near the city,
were entertaining features.
That the delegates were royalty en-
tertained was the universal declara-
ton. Every advantage Canon City
possesses was brougha to their atten-
tion. The farming and horticultural
conditions surrounding the city re-
ceived their share of complimentary
comment and when the days visiting
was ended the visitors were loud in
their praise of the valley town.
The necessity of at least one good
road leading from Pueblo to Canon
City was, however. noticed. A high
way of such nature that it would
prove enticing to autoists and travel
ers in general was declared to be sore
ly needed, and simultaneously there
was an expression from Secretary
Jenkins that Canon City should be
declared and made the principal sum-
mer resort of the valley. Others voic-
ed favor of both ideas.
In discussing the conditions and the
meeting at Canon City. Secretary Jen-
kins said yesterday:
There should be a good road built
from Canon City to Pueblo. Such a
thoroughfare is badly needed. With it

MINING CASE VS..
TIMBER SETTLED
The Interior Department Decision
Favorable TO the "Gold Note
Mines.

THO contest case of W. B. Hen
dricks VS.. John Berkshire's timper
filing on the headwaters OF Grave
creek near the base of Onion noun
tain. located in Josephine and jack
son counties, of which mention was
made a few months back, has Deen
finally disposed of by the Interior
Department favoring contentious Oh
the Gold Note claimants.
The decision was brief and states
the evidence has been read and that
there Is no reason why the United
States commissioner ruling should
be disturbed, and the same Is there
fore affirmed. The appellant, John
Berkshire, thus loses the fees paid
for final proof of the timber filed on
and is subject to being prosecuted
for perjury; so it follows that timber
cruisers and paid experts to turr
down mines that have well known
merit do not always have things
their own way.
Now that litigation over these
claims has been settled, H. B. Hen
bricks states that himself and E. r
Crouch, owners, will resume activ'
operations on these claims in th'
near future.

line Tank and Doctor Patches
Him Up.

Orpheus Sonnichsen, aged IA. son
OF Mrs, j. Wamsley, of 176 Mechanic
street. who carries papers on the
west for one of the Portland journals,
conducted a hazardous experiment
the other evening and that he es-
capped without serious injury seems
under the circumstances almost mir
aculous.
In the yard at his home there was
a gasoline tank with a small
amount of the combustible fluid in
the bottom. Orpheus was PLAYING
about 1t Friday evening and opening
the faucet in the tank tested his
lung powers by blowing into it. Then
ne lighted a match and getting on
top of the tank touched the flame
to the open faucet. The result can
well be imagined, Orpheus and his
Tying machine suddenly cut the air
grazing the caves of the woodshed
and made a quick descent upon the
garden rod or two distant.
That the young aviator came
through his dangerous experience
with nothing more than a bad scare
and a few bruises seems wonderful
to tell, but he did, though It was
necessary to summon a physician tc
patch up the superficial bruises.
