WESTERN SLOPE PEOPLE
INTERESTED IN GOOD ROADS

Chas. R. McLain has returned to
Canon City from the western slope,
where he was one of the most prom
inent speakers at the good roads gath
erings at Grand Junction and Rifle
on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
He says the enthusiasm of the people
for better public highways in that
portion of the state is no less pro-
nounced than it is here and that they
are cooperating heartily in the move
ment for the construction of the pro-
posed Rainbow Route" by means
of which It is hoped to connect the
Arkansas valley with all of the larg-
er and more progressive communities
between the Continental divide and
the eastern boundary of Utah. The
boosters banquet at Rifle was one
of the most delightful and interesting
affairs of the kind he had attended
in a long time and demonstrated IL,
the most emphatic manner the faith
of the people of Garfield county in
the material future of their locality
The affair was given under
the auspices of the various CONNER
cial associations of Garfield county
and covers were laid for three hun
dred guests. There were so many
excursionists, however, from other
sections OF the state that two hundred
OF the local people generously relin-
quished their tickets to the banquet
in order that the visitors might be
accommodated. Mr.. McLain was on
the program for an address md he
spoke on the good roads proposition
dealing at length with the building
of the contemplated Rainbow Route.
for which a bill is now before the
legislature asking for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 with which to inaug-
urate the enterprise. Mr.. McLain
says that everywhere in the western
rart of the state there is the liveliest
concern in the improvement and con-
struction of public highways.

.CLARk'S WORDS
AROUSE LION
(By United Press)

London, Feb. I6.-England Is
aroused today over the fear of uld-
mately losing Canada in case the
America-Canadian reciprocity agree
ment is ratified.
The press is particularly disturbed
because OF the statement made by
Speaker-elect Champ Clark in the
house yesterday.
Even the papers friendly to re-
ciprocity are centuring Clark for
his so-callad indiscretion.
The Westminster Gazette, which
led the fight for reciprocity. says to-
day: CLARK must be singularly in
nocent If, desiring this consumma-
ton, he imagines it will be promoted
by such a frank avowal at the pres
ent moment But we will probably
get the right kind of measure, despite
his utterance."
The Globe anti-American declares:
The speech will surely make Cam
ada pause before asserting to the tar
in agreement"
The Times says i: its correspon-
dent is right in stating that it is
doubtful whether the American peo-
pie take the annexation talk serious
ly: The Americans show their good
sense"
The Pail Mall Gazette asserts that
-Englishmen cannot much longer
be blind to the fact that preference
signifies union and Cobdenism and
that reciprocity is a long step in that
direction"

THE BEST SA0WST0RM
OF THE WINTER

The resumption of the snowfall this
morning after a cessation of twelve
hours. during which most of the first
installment melted and filed the
ground with a much needed moisture,
was hailed with delight by the ranch
ers and gardeners OF the Canon City
district and the hope is expressed in
many quarters that it will continue
for twenty-four hours more The
precipitation is reported to be -..uch
heavier in the mountains than ii is
In this section of the Arkansas val
ley: some localities well up towards
the crest OF the Sangre de Cristo
range recording as much as eighteen
inches and more. On the watersheds
at the head of the Huerfano and Ar
kansas rivers ii has been showing
continuously for forty-eight hours
and is still in progress.
The storm is everywhere looked up
on as great benefit to the agricul-
tural and irrigation interests of the
state and will add largely to the av-
ailabls water supply during the spring
and summer months. In Canon City
and vicinity the amount of moisture
distributed during the last forty-eight
hours is greater than for any similar
period since last November and its
value to the community is not easily
computed In dollars and cents.

Ends Potato Peel Waste.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2.-Seri-
GUS attention is being given by Prof.
Corbet of the Department of Agri-
culture and corps of expert assist
ants to the potato. At the Honeoye
Falls, N. Y, State experimental farm
for potato culture, they have raised
something new in the potato line.
The new potato is cross between
the American, the English and the
wild potato of South America and is
as smooth as a marble. Prof. Cor
bett invented it because careful study
showed that the waste in peeling the
ordinary American potato was Is per
cent. The English potato has a waste
OF only 10 per cent in peeling. The
new combination tuber will not have
over 5 per cent waste.
When there are millions of bushels
Of potatoes used each year the saving
Of 20 per cent of waste will figure as
great benefit to the American house.

o will aid in solving the high cost of
