AUTOMOBILE CLUB MEET
ING VERY INTERESTING

An unusually well attended and in
tsresting meeting of the Canon City
Automobile club was held at the office
of Secretary Maddox. Of the Business
Mems association Monday night A
number of matters OF general interest
were discussed. especially the good
roads proposition. of which the club
members have been advocating at all
times. Chas. r. McLain addressed. the
meeting at some length in relation to
securing a large appropriation from
the legislature for the improvement
Of the public highways of the state.
and the views he expressed were con-
CURED in by all present
II was the opinion of the club that
the reconstruction OF the Colorado
Springs-Canon City road through Ere
mont county would benefit the people
OF the Arkansas valley more than al
most any enterprise OF the kind that
has thus far bean projected and the
hope was expressed that the matter
would be taken up as soon as possi-
Bile and finished at an early date next
year. The FL Paso county end of the
road is now in excellent condition and
when finished into Canon City a high
way for travel will be opened up that
will attract many tourists and visit
ors to this portion OF the state
The automobile club now has an
active. energetic membership of be-
tween fifty and sixty and its officers
are desirious of increasing the num-
Der to a hundred in order that more
aggressive and effective campaign in
behalf of good roads may be carried
on. The annual dues of the club
member was increased to two dollars
for the purpose of creating n larger
fund to be used in forwarding the
good roads propaganda
The first annual Good Roads con-
TO b. held in Denver January
18th and 18th. was heartily endorsed .
and the president of the club was re-
luested 10 appoint three delegates 10

CBy United PressJ

Manchester, England. Dec. IL
More than three hundred miners were
in the Pretoria Mine of the Hutton
Coal company near Leigh today. when
an explosion occurred wrecking the
interior. At least $50 are believed to
be dead Seven we're rescued alive
and twenty dead bodies have already
been discovered. The mine is burn
ing and the flames arc shooting eighty
feet above the entrance.
Owing to the impassibility OF the
passages, rescuers were compelled TO
enter through an adjoining mine.
There is little hope that any Of the
entombed men arc alive. The cause
OF the explosion Is not known.
n preliminary roll call this after
noon showed $50 missing. but IT is be-
lievei that a number OF these have
merely not been located in the excite
ment.
Assistant Manager Rnshton headed

He did not have an oxoygen helmet

Sunday the EIkS.

Next Sunday the Joplin Elks
will come to this city and try to
beat our local ball team. Of
course they can't do it, but they
are going to try anyway.
The Joplin Elks are a strong
bunch and of course as they know
we are strong they will frame up
for us, but while they are franz
ing up the local management
will also do little framing. A
battery which can not be beaten
will be provided for the locals
and the game will be full ofsnap
and vim from gong to gong, as
the fight promoters and pug
takers would say.
Don't miss this game, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fan and Miss Fan, for it is
going to be worthwhile.

Biz Lead Strike.

J. C. Bryner & Sons have made
a big strike of lead in the Joanna
mine, where they have been at
work for some time. The par
ties who operated the mine pre-
vious to the time they took hold
of it, merely gophered around
after the free lead, and did not
mine in a systematic manner.
The Bryners went into the ground
and cleaned it up in nice shape,
getting the waste out of the way,
and are opening up a nice lot of
free lead. Besides free lead, there
is big deposit of dry bone and
silicate. They are going to clean
up their dirt on a battery of hand
jigS, and make some easy money.
A boiler will be installed, and a
pump also, as they intend to sink
the shaft deeper, so as to not be
bothered with water.

tend him. He is getting along

Base Ball..

The ball game last Sunday
afternoon was quite interesting,
and for a time it seemed as il
neither side would score in nine
innings, but in the sixth inning
a tumble by the locals and a wild
throw to first started the Galena
fellows scoring and they wouldn't
stop until they had made four.
Then it was blankety blank for
the next four turns, or two In
nings, when Galena blew up and
the locals made five tallies.
Then it rained, and the game
was called on account of it, but
only eight innings were played,
and Baxter was the winner five
to four.
The score:

1t will be seen by the above
figures that Miss McAboy made
the greatest gain since May %,
and consequently she won the
$40 in gold. Miss Gregory made
the second greatest gain and gets
coupon good for 5000 votes,
while Miss Lindsey made the
third greatest gain and received
a coupon good for 1000 votes.
All of the candidates made gains
ana we personally know that be-
fore this is printed they will, or
some of them will, at least, make
a better showing than in the vote
given above. We shall publish
the vote each week from now on
to the close of the contest, and
the vote is going to be watched
with interest by all of the contes-
tants and their friends.
Many friends of the girls are
willing and ready to help them
out, but to win you must hustle.
Besides the piano, there will
be given as other prizes a watch
for a lady. The watch is actual
ly worth in any store on earth
$50. Then there will be a fine
bracelet, an elegant water set, a
set of silver knives and forks, an
improved oil cooker and other
things. >
Every prize is worth working
for, and the winners are going to
feel proud of them. There is
nothing of the cheap or shoddy
in any of the prizes. Get busy.

Cure for Badness.

DR.. Boswell has a new cure for
badness, but whether or not it
will make two hairs grow where
none ever grew before is a ques-
tion. The doctor has expert
mented on the matter, however,
and will be in position to let a
long suffering bald headed public
know just as soon as his head
gets well. On the Fourth he and
Mike Reddy and Ed. Miller went
down the river in a motor boat
and spent the day. The doctor
had heard that if a man would
wear a hat with the top of the
crown cut out and thereby get
his head sun burned that hair
would grow where the suns rays
penetrated. He tried it. Re-
suit, a very sore head, because
the sun not only sunburned his
top knot, but blistered it. He
does not think very many people
know about the experiment, be-
cause he swore the two compan-
ions to secrecy, but somehow it
leaked out. Meanwhile DR.. Bos-
we'll is wondering if the fellow
who advocated that cure for bald
is not a real fake.

Watch for the Date Of the Closing
Of the ConteSt-Girls, Get
Busy if You Want the

Now very soon we will an
nounce the date of the close oi
the contest. Girls, get busy
Keep busy. The time between
the announcement of the date
and the date of closing will be
short-much shorter, in fact, per-
haps, than you will expect. So
it behooves you to hustle from
now on-go your full limit. Re-
member, there are no more free
vote coupons in the paper. The
coupons which will count the
most are the ones we give for
subscriptions to the News. Every
dollar you bring in on subscrip-
tion, whether it be for a new
subscriber or an old one, or a
payment on account, will entitle
you to a coupon good for five
hundred votes, and you know
when you jump five hundred at
time you are going some.
AS to the piano, it is a fine
one. 1t is all that is claimed for
it, and the winner is going to be
very proud of it.
Remember, if you sit down and
wait for your friends to come to
the front and help you out you
will lose. The hustlers are the
winners in this day and age.
When people see that you are
hustling the more likely they are
to help you. The whole world
likes and admires hustler.
