FRONTIER SKETCHES

All old-timers will remember the
orado when the mining camp at Sill
yer Cliff biossomed forth in September
1878. The writer of these lines arriv-
ed there the night the first house was
finished and the camp gave a dance
to celebrate the event. Inside of a
year the population had grown to T.
900 and here we have a little story
to tell. One afternoon the stage left
Silver Cliff camp, bound for Canon
City, sixty miles away. In the coach
were a dozen passengers. AS they
reached the narrowest part of the
gorge in grape creek canon a loud
command of Hold up your hands!"
brought the stage to sudden stand
still and every passenger to a swift
realization that unless quick action
was taken he would go broke. One
fellow crammed his wad of bills down
his bootleg: another hurriedly thrust
his roll down the back OF his neck;
a third took off his hat, put his wal
let inside and set It back on his head.
Every man Jack of them attempted
to secret his money, except Pat Clo-
hesy, and Pat sat perfectly quiet.

He is fifty-six years of age and has a
family of five daughters and two sons,
to which he is strongly devoted. For
six years he was water commissioner
for this district and in the discharge
of its duties gave general satisfac-

interest in politics and performed yeo-
man duty for the party with which
he is allied. Honest, fair-minded and
conscientious in all he does. Mr.. Klle

Mr.. Kile resembles to some extent

pride in the likeness, for there is no
man in American public life whose
characteristics he admires more than
he does the dash and fearlessness of

The baggage car which for some

sort of 'hoodoo" by the employees of
the company and its peculiar conduct
of late seems to justify the opinion
entertained of il. Two days in sue

CONSTRUCTING DIVERSION
DAM ACROSS FOUR MILE

The Park Center Land & Water
Company has begun the construc-
ton of a diversion dam across Four
Mile Creek at the intake of its main
irrigating ditch, about six miles
northeast of Canon City, and about
twenty men are now employed in
connection with the undertaking. A
car load of cement, most of which is
now on the ground. will be used in
the building of the dam, which will
be strong enough to resist the flood
waters at all times. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to have the work
completed in the course of the next
week or ten days If possible. Its cost
will be about one thousand dollars.

The Republicans of Fremont coun-
ty were unanimous in the nomination
of John Kile of Rockvale as their
candidate for representative in the
lower branch of the legislature and
they have had no reason to regret
their choice in the matter. The po-
honor and responsibility and the Sc
lection of Mr.. Kile for the place with
out opposition was a tribute to his
worth as a citizen and his fitness for
the office.
Mr.. Kile was born in Scotland, but
emigrated with his parents from the
land of the heather and thistle to
America when three years old and
settled in Pennsylvania, which was
the family home during his boyhood
days. He came to Colorado in 1881

ROYAL GORGE ROAD
SHOULD BE FINISHED
Last Half Mile Finest OF All And Most
Be Completed Or People VIII Have
To Walk Part Of The Way.

When the city council turned down
the Royal Gorge road proposition it
was under the impression that the
cost would be considerable. perhaps
more than a thousand dollars.
Since the council held its meeting
several committees have been up to
the top and careful examination made
of the road and it is found that the
unfinished part is only 2750 feet in
extent and that it can be done at
very low figure, perhaps from $3.50 to
$500, IL done while the convicts are
in camp.
The Business Mems Association
held a meeting Wednesday morning
to consider the matter. 1t developed
that the ICONS" were going to be NOV
ed away the next morning if nothing
was done. 1t was too late to see the
council so President Smith arranged
with the commissioners to keep the
convicts at work on the road tempor
arily.
1t is not the intention of the Busi-
ness Mems Association to furnish the
money for the road. 1t would be
glad to do SO II 1t had the money to
spare. But 1t hasn't and every men,
ber of the association wants the city
council to finish the road. The road
in question is the last half mile OF
the mach talked of Royal Gorge road
entirely in the city park, and If 1t is
not built it will leave a walk of that
distance to see the Royal Gorge at
its best.
An early meeting of the city coun-
Gil will be called when the matter
will be presented in such light that
all interested are confident the coun-
Gil will vote unanimously to COM
plete the work at once.
Thursday morning W. B. Rowland
and J. F. Marr drove up and staked
out the route for this last half mile.
1t follows along the rim of the Gorge
much of the way and ends in the
pines at the familiar picnic grounds
just above the Hanging Bridge. These
gentlemen say that this is by far the
grandest part of the whole trip. As
Cañon City record., 1910-11-03

no casualties as a result of the acci-
dent The officials of the company
think the trouble was due to the car
trucks, rather than to the roadbed,
and this morning had the refractory
car taken to the shops for investiga-
ton and repairs. Had the car gone
off the rails on some of the high tres
ties between here and the district,
there would have been a serious ca
tastrophe to chronicle.

Gambling at Fairs

Wayne County papers complain
that gamblers and fakirs were quite
in evidence at the fair held there
last week. Judge Searle made one
pay back SO TO a farmer whom he
had f1eeoed and then made him light
out. Why will farmers and others
persist in taking a hand in skin
games, or gambling when they must
know they are sure to be the losers.
Is il because they expect to beat the
crook at his own game and get some
thing for nothing, a human trait
which no amount of warning seems
to remedy. Why should the man
who CANDLES be punished with the
gambler. Work is both ways and
in time educational efforts might
have better results. Gamblers at
fairs seem 20 he drawing cards, and
skin games attract the moths until
their wings are singed of and then
they fall down and buzz.

PAPER BOXES WILL
KEEP FOOD CLEAN
WITH LITTLE
HANDLING

Few people realize how important
the sanitary mission of the paper
box really is. Food products put up
at factories in original packages are
not exposed TO the dust and dirt of
steres and sidewalk counters, and
moreover they receive only one
handling, and this generally 10 a
clean and sanitary factory.
Improved mechanical methods
have recently eliminated handling
entirely The products are carried
from the oven on a moving tray, and
spread out to dry, after which they
IRE dropped into a machine which
packs and wraps them in waxed pa.
per and then in a folding box. They
are ready for the consumer without
any hands touching them from the
time they 60 into the oven until
they are unpacked at home. In the
evolution Of the paper box package,
we have developed not only the air
tight but the water tight box as
we'll. Liquids can be put up in
these and carried from stores to
homes without leaking. Consequent
ly we get in paper boxes pickles,
freshly opened oysters and CLAIMS,
and even vinegar and older. Even
milk is served to consumers in paper
bottles, the only real sanitary reoep-
tacle for carrying this article. When
the latter idea becomes really wide
spread there will be no washing OF
milk bottles then, either In the home
or at she milk factory, and as a Ue-
suit there will be less contaminated
milk delivered.
One of the latest developments of
the package trade is the manufacture
of picnic boxes suitable for automo-
bile trips or parties going off for the
day on boats or trains. This equip
ment consists OF large; square box,
filled with smaller ones that ft snug
ly in it. In cash of the smaller box
es one finds suitable food for the
day--an assortment of crackers,
Clipped beef, stuned dates, cheese
wrapped in waxed and odor-proof
paper, fruit cake, candy, pickles ana
potato chips. In one corner Of the
big box are paper napkins, wooden
dishes and paper drinking cups. ev-
erything really needful for a day in
the woods, and when through with
it, you throw all away, little and big
boxes. All the boxes and packages
are wrapped in waxed or specially
prepared paper, 90 that moisture OF
heat will not affect the contents
They can be kept indefinitely in any
kind Of climate without being wilted
or softened by climatic conditions.
