U. S. Okey. who has charge of the

the undertaking was necessarily slow

Okey stated that up to the present
time it had cost the city about one

site. but that the expense would be
considerably lessened for the next
few days owing 10 the reduced La
Dor in connection with the work.
Later. however. the expense would
advance beyond the present figures
on account Of the exhaustion Of the
local supply Of sand. II costs about
a dollar a cubic yard to get the sand
washed and dumped into the filter
basins after 1t has been delivered at

Canon IS PLEASED
With PRESENT AND
HOPEFUL OF FUTURE

Canon City is not the place and
1910 not the year for the "pessimist." !"
Occasionally one of those creatures
termed 'pessimist." or rather
"knocker," drifts into our community
and he either changes his song, or
leaves, as he cannot locate any con-
genial company hera Even the
KNOCKERS" must have his friends or
he cannot subsist. He soon finds
that there is nothing to feed upon in
this valley and he either emigrates
or gets busy and forgets his troub-
les.
Everybody is optimistic at Canon
City. One cannot be otherwise. The
new conner gets a taste of our ideal
climate, gets in touch with the pro-
gressive movement, sees the happy
contented, prosperous look upon. our
peoples countenances. He notes what
the future promises for every man
who casts his lot with us. What has
been done in the past is the best
climatepromise of what the future
holds in store for him.
At the opening of this year we have
the brightest prospects and the sur
est and safest opportunities for the
investor, homeseeker or health seek
er, that we have ever anticipated in
the early months of any one year.
Canon City is town of nearly TO-
900 happy. contented souls. Happy
and contented because Of the fact
that they have been prosperous in
the past and for the promises the fu-
ture reveals TO them.
The near future indicates the COM
pietion of the largest enterprise that
private capital has ever undertaken
IN this country.
Dali De Weese said two years ago
that he would build an irrigation sys-
tenn that would reclaim 100000 acres
Of arid lands in this valley. Since
that time his project has grown in
proportions until now they are ac-
tually at work on an arid land recia-
nation project at an expenditure Of
more than s12 100000. which will re-
claim nearly 100000 acres of land.
This is but one OF several projects
OF the sort in the Arkansas valley,
which should make this valley. all

bloom as the proverbial rose.
This valley can find room for 1o.-
900 more farmers, and Canon City
should be a city of 10000 more peo-
pie in the next five years.
Our output of fruits and vegeta-
bles alone. exceeded 1900 carloads
last year. and we now expect to far
surpass this record for 1910. as the
acreage here is increasing fast from
year to year.
This is saying nothing of the thous-
ands OF carloads of alfalfa. live stock,
coal, etc, from this section every
year, valued at more than a million
dollars.
