possible on clearing the workings of

fifty-seyen men, and as fast as the
crews clear the entries, pipes for the

at Intervals OF every 100 feet. where
hose can be attached and the mine
thoroughly wet down. In the Stark

Many Advantages To Having A Big

the Spring And Taxing Time to Work

A movement all along the Santa Fe
trail could be worked up and lot OF
cars all the way from Kansas City to
Canon City could be brought out
Messrs. Maddox and Faxon could look
after this and would. NO doubt, have
the hearty support of the Kansas City
Star and a lot of Kansas and Eastern
newspapers. A sociability run or
trophy run might be worked up along
the Santa Fe trail and with our big
celebration at the top Of the Gorge
as the goal. would unquestionabiy be
n big success.
Anyway with a month or six weeks
time to work the thing up at fav-

immense amount of publicity given to

doubt, but enough is known TO prove
that the Republican party was in bet
ter shape, and made a much more Ell
fective campaign, than ii did two
years ago.
IL has selected supreme court
Judge. the state superintendent of
schools, a regent OF the state univer-
sity, and IL stands an even chance
of securing the attorney general, the
railroad commissioner, and the con-
gressman-at-iarge in the official
count. The party gained six on Joint
ballot in the assembly, gained one dis
trict Judge in the state, and whereas,
during the last two years, the DEM

.esms TO be the sentiment OF most
everybody.
The Automobile Club held meet
ing Monday night and It was the judg-
ment OF about all present that II
would be by far best to hold the pub
lie opening in the Spring.
The directors OF the BUSINESS
Mems Association held meeting on

voted that--in the Judgment OF the
Association the best time for the for
NAL opening celebration would be
after the weather had settled In the
spring.
since this matter has been discuss
ed many good ideas have been ao-
vanced for a big celebration In the
Spring.
MT. c. r. McIain suggests that per
aaps BY that time another link In the
Colorado Springs-Canon City ROAD
will be open for public travel.
Mr.. Marr suggests that the chaun-
eurs for the public ga ages cnnnse
often and that the chauffeurs employ
ed nov will probably not be there
next spring.

bring many Pueblo. Colorado SPRINGS
and Denver cars here and the chaun-
eusr In charge of the cars then VIII
learn the roads and the way and VIII
be more apt to come again with other
siEhtseers.
Many have suggested that the open
ing might be arranged for Blossom
time and big Blossom Festival be
given In connection. This would
bring many people to Canon City by
train who could be taken TO the top
of the Gorge IN cars for hire.
Others nave suggested that the
opeuinr be made not only state wide
but Interstate and that many peo-
ple intereHted In good road move
ments and convict made roads IN
many states be invited.
Gov. Shafroth would, no doubt.
come down and many notahles from

here. could be interested and per
