b ! ! ATTEMPT A
Ed AT THE FAIR
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
while Night Marshal Hiram Fillmore
and Policeman Jerry Moran were
making their regular rounds their
attention was attracted by a noise in
The Fair" Mercantile sompany's
establishment at the corner OF Main
and Eighth streets, and. upon inves-
tigation. discovered that II was made
BY burglar. In an effort to capture
the intruder. Mr.. Fillmore hastily took
up a position at the front door OF
the building to prevent escape by
that means. leaving Mr.. Moran to
guard the rear and side entrances.
The thief. evidently. had become
aware that the officers we're "onto"
his movements and put his wits to
work to get out OF the trap that was
being laid for him. While Mr.. Moran
was standing at the southeast corner
OF the building so as TO be In a POSI-
ton to watch the two rear exits from
the store the burglar suddenly darted
through the back door. which he had
opened for the purpose. and ran west
along the alley for a distance OF per-
haps, n hundred yards when he
Jumped over the fence and disap-
peared in the darkness on the prem
ises Of J. r. Morgan. Mr.. Moran was
thoroughly alert to the situation and
endeayored to wing the fleeing man
with a shot from his revolver. but
for some reason was unable to dis

charge it; the hammer clicking four
successive times without result. The
fifth pull OF the trigger. however. sent
q bullet after the would-be thief, but
missed the intended mark. which q
moment later disappeared over thfS
fence into Mr.. Morgan's yard.
Entrance to the store was made
through the transom over the front
door. the burglar cutting hoies
through the wire of the screen in or
der to obtain 4 footing on Its frame
work that would enable him 10 climb
up to the transom. some nine or ten
feet above the sidewalk. II was
while taking off the bar that secured
the back door that the officers heard
the noise inside the building and led
them to make an investigation OF the
affair. Recently a set Of harness and
a tent were stolen from an outbuid-
Ing on the premises OF Mrs. John =.
Mackenzie. 62s River street, and the
authorities are OF the opinion that
they were taken by the same party
that broke into The Fair" yesterday
morning. Theburgiary and theift at
the Santa Fe railroad station a few
nights ago is also attributed to the
same marander. An ex-convict was
taken into custody by the police this
morning on suspicion of having COM
mitted the burglary. but he sue
ceeded in establishing an alibi and
was released.

FRUIT EXHIBIT AT
FAIR THIS YEAR"
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
AS the season advances our fruit
gives promise of maturing early,
thereby giving both high color and
good size, and ample time for ma
ture to put the fine finish to 1t which
was sadly lacking in last years fruit,
owing to the short growing season
which this section experienced last
year.
Under these conditions we should
have some of the finest show fruit
we have ever produced, and as our
County Fair association has hung up
some liberal premiums, thereby max
ing 1t profitable as well as a pleasure
to compel for them. why not boost all
we can and have the finest fruit dis
play this fall that Canon City has
ever seen?
Storage room has been provided
for the early fruit so 1t may be held
in storage until the first day OF the
fair that II may be in the best pos
sible condition for display.

Duchess weakness is shown in the
new pear. 1t has been named the
Douglas as it is from that county
in Kansas 1t was grown from seed
sown in a row in the orchard. II
has had no pet care but it has pro-
duced from 1902, its first year in
bearing. to the present time. 1t fail
ed only in 1907 when all other fruit
wps cut off by frost. 1t is a prolific
and hardy tree. The fruit is nearly
as large as the Keiffer. bright yellow,
smooth, pear shaped.
We must look out for the tricks of
the trade when We ship our fine
fruit to the far eastern markets we
are apt to be dumped like the old wo-
mans apple stand. One little circum-
stance will illustrate the point. Last
year on the 10th of July 2os cars Of
southern peaches reached New York
City and the next day over a hundred
more arrived. Then occurred the usual
thing-looked for. arranged for. and
carried out according to program-a
we'll regulated glut. A few tons were
condemned and dumped into the bay
and but few cars sold for more than
enough money to pay the railroad
charges. The speculator was in evil
dence. He bought good peaches
right and left for almost nothing. He
picked up the choicest fruit Georgia
could produce for the bare railroad
charges and reshipped them TO in
land cities and sold at fancy prices
beyond the reach OF poor people. The
growers got nothing-not cent. The
speculator in a weeks time made his
money bring him from three hundred
to six hundred per cent-s5.ooo made
$40. 900 In six days. How much lon
ger are we fruit growers going 10 put

The small fruit growers around
our large cities such as Denver and
Pueblo have never grown half enough
currants to supply the local markets
We never could understand why this
lapsus should go on from year to
year without somebody making a
strenuous effort to fill the vacuum
Another thing is the dinky currants
that are seen in small quantities like
church contributions when we could
just as well be growing larger and
finer fruit. Then too, the stuff is
never picked in half decent manner.
In picking currants for market pur-
poses particularly close watch must
be kept of the pickers. The stem OF
each cluster should be grasped above
the fruit and removed from the bush
without crushing or loosening any of
the berries. Only careful pickers will
do this. 1t Is so much easier TO
grasp the cluster as whole and pull
it away than it is to take hold Of the
stem alone with the thumb and fin
ger. For this reason a variety which
affords more space between the
branch and the first berries OF
cluster possesses advantage. Fay is
a good variety in this respect. While
currants will stand shipment we'll II

The School Improvement association
represents a basic need in our edu-
cational system. Recognizing the pro-
gress of the past, but at the same
time perceiving the demands of the
present it has set itself to the solu-
tion of some of these problems.
The associa ton has aroused many
communities to sense of their own
possibilities in using wisely the inter
est and cooperation of teachers, pat
rons, and pupils. 1t seeks to provide
n good school for every child and to
keep every child in school. 1t would
add to the three RS the power TO
recognize and enjoy the hitherto Neg
lected beauties and opportunities af-
forded by even the humblest school.
1t has been the means of improving
educational facilities in scores of dis
tricts, and is seeking now to extend
its field of service.
1t has uniformaly emphasized the
needs of the elementary rural school
This bulletin calls attention to few
results already accomplished and to
f, other lines of progress calling for i'm
mediate consideration. If the women
of the State will formulate clearly
their plans for school Improvement
and will insist actively on their adop-
ton, they can do much to promote the
cause for which the association stands.
w. r. Perkins, professor of agricul-
ture at Clemson college, has prepar-
ed a course or an outline which covers
enough of the field Of agriculture to
meet the needs of the public schools.
