Fire at Blenco

Sparks from a traction engine
set fire to the elevator at Blen-
co yesterday afternoon and be-
fore it was extinguished it had
totally destroyed the elevator,
nearly all of the stock yards

Answered The Last Gail.

L
Henry Fitsgbibons, died, at his
home in Calhoun township Har.
rison County, Iowa, at q p. M.
Monday, April Oath, 1911, after
a protracted illness of several
weeks.
The deceased was born in the
county of Limerick, Ireland, in
1887, and came to America, in
April 1862, landing in New York
harbor, and from there went to
Bureau County, Illinois, and in
the Spring of 1865, came west,
locating in Pottawattamie Co.,
Iowa.
He was united in marriage to
Laura Lewis, on April End 1867,
she being a native Of New York
and to this union was born ten
children, as follows:
Anna NJ, John H., James n.
Katie L, Grace L., Rosa NJ,
Harry NJ, Maggie S, Francis A
Daisy NJ, al! we believe living.
The family are all highly re-
spected members of the Catholic
Church, and the deceased has
held many local offices in the
the county and township. He,
by his industry and frugality,
possessed himself of over six
hundred acres Of some of the
best land in H arrison County, a
large amount Of which is under
a high state of cultivation, and
the home is one of large pro-
portions, and modern in archi-
lecture.
He was a man of high char
acter, a good neighbor, energet-
ic in business, and honorable
in all his dealings with his fell
low man. Like some sturdy
oak, he grew strong in the win
terry blasts of Western Iowa, in
an early day, and exhibited the
manly courage of a real yves
terner," and set an example for
those that come after him to
follow. He did much in his
|day to improve the county, and
always advocated progress in
public affairs. His place will
be hard to fill and his many
friends will keep his memory
green as vel as those who sor-
row for his departure.
The funeral will leave the
late home of the deceased at 8
|o'clock Il. m. Funeral at 1880
Thursday from St. Patrick's
Church, and burial in Mt. Car.
mel Cemetery.

Business Men Needed

town. IL should take active measures
toward building up our park systems,
especially the Royal Gorge park.
The next city council should take
as keen interest in movements direct
ly toward building up the town as we
expect from the Business Mems AS
sociation and the council should be
made up of men as active in such
matters as are the directors OF the
Business Mems Association.
Just as far as possible it is be-
lieved that the members of the city
council should be broad minded, lib
eral business men-successful men,
who have been in touch with the big
ger affairs of the community.
There is one thing sure-the wet
and dry question will not be an is
sue in this campaign. That question
has been settled for the present and
whatever may be the future, it will
not come up this year.
Another thing has been pretty well
settled by case in the courts-and
that is that the city council has prec-
ious little to do with the enforcement
of the local option laws under the
present state statutes. That comes
under the district attorneys office.
The next city council will have lit
tie to do with the wet or dry question.
While the tendency is strong to
have a majority of the city council
men, who believe in the dry princi-
pies, still the sentiment is stronger
this year than ever. to ask of our ma
yor and councilmen, other quaiifica-
tions than merely to be on the right
side of that issue.
The chief test this year will be the
mans business qualifications and his
willingness to devote his time.
thought and energies for the up
building of Canon City.
People or parties who are planning
tickets or grooming candidates,
should take in account this growing
sentiment for strong business coun-
Gil this year.

feresl wheel to this ciry. Father Ed
munds, however, gave chase in an au-
tomobile and captured the thief while
he was pedalling slowly up McComb-
er hill Scott was adjudged guilty in
the county court and sentenced to a
term in the state reformatory at Bue-
ma Vista. He proved to be a refrac-
tory and incorrigible inmate of the
institution and was given solitary con-
finement ior couple of weeks by
Warden O'Neal for his rebellous dis
position. His term in the reforma-
was re-arrested by Sheriff Esser on
his release for the commission of a
burglary at Bear Gulch.. near Will
liamsburg, in 1908: an offense for
which he is now being tried.
The prepetrator of the burglary at
Bear Gulch was for a long time a
mystery and 1t was not until Scott's
sentence to the reformatory had al
most expired that the crime was fast
ened upon him. He is regarded by
those who know him as "a bad citi-
zen" and the reformatory authorities
were gratified when the time came to
release him at the expiration of his
term of Imprisonment. When Scott
was asked by the district attorney
this morning why it was that the Bue-
ma Vista officers were so anxious to
get rid of him he replied, Il spects
it was because / was too big for the
sion of his guilt in the Bear Gulch
burglary in the hands OF Sheriff Es-
ser on being brought here from Bue-
ma Vista and locked up a few weeks
ago, but withdrew II when arraigned
before Judge wilkin Thursday morn
ing and entered a formal plea of not
guilty and asked for consel to defend
him.
The case of the People against Fell
TX Brothers on a charge OF the burg
larry and larceny OF the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel company's store at Coal
Creek on the night of November /,
will be called for trial tomorrow
morning. Brother also bears the rep
utation Of being a nortorious crook
and he is alleged in the Information
of the district attorney. to have stolen
more than five hundred dollars on the
occasion alluded to. The antecedents
of Brother are hardly more enviable
than those OF Scott's.

Who will make the best mayor Tor
Canon City?
Who will make the best council
man from your ward?
In the spring we will have an cleo
ton for city government. We VIII
,lect everything from mayor down.
Is a most important year and the
very best men possible should be
picked out for the important offices
of mayor and councilmen.
During the past ten years Canon
City has gone forward very rapidly.
We have done what it takes some
towns a lifetime to perform.
We have, during the past ten years,
put in more miles of fine cement side
walks than you will find in any other
CITY of equal size in Colorado. We
have put in complete sewer system.
We have built 100000 water sys-
tenn. During this time we have built
several fine driveways and extended
many streets.
In the way of public Improvements
Canon City has gone ahead about as
fast-faster, perhaps, than any other
city you know.
We are in debt, heavily in debt
Not too much, perhaps. for what we
have, but certainly enough.
The next city council will not have
to handle any big matters of improve
ment. These are practically all done.
But future councils will have to
nay the bills-meet the interest on
bonds and create sinking funds to
nav OF the Indebtedness built up In
former years. All this must be done
and taxes must be kept down as low
as possible.
The next city council will have
problems to meet in connection with
the debts, the water works system
the street lighting, street building
and towns development
The next city council should take
a keen interest in building up the

DOCTORS VIEWS
ON ADVERTISING

That all physicians 40 not consid-
er newspaper advertising beneath the
dignity OF the profession is shown by
DIR. ]. w. Pettit's remarks before the
fifty-ninth annual congress OF the IL
linois State Medical Society at Quin-
cy. Ill.
mo agency is more potent for good
or evil than the secular press" said
Dr. Petit. by secular press I mean
more particularly the newspaper.
which each day reaches fully 90 per
cent of the reading public. BY far
the larger part of the public. especial
ly busy people. get about all their
general information from the news
paper.
The newspaper Is the only source
OF information for fully one-half OF
the reading public. It Is the purveyor
as well az the conveyor Of informa-
tion, and the average editor Is actu-
ated by as praiseworthy motives in
his field Of activity rs we are In ours.
From being simply record OF events
the newspaper now covers almost ev-
cry field Of human endeavor. even to
the extent Of maintaining departments
for the teaching Of technical know
ledge, which, though crude and I'm
perfect as yet. is an effort In the right
direction"
Concerning advertisements DR. Pet
tit said In part:
"A broad definition OF advertising
would include everything in an ad-
vertisement, whether paid or other
wise. which is intended to benefit the
individual. II such an advertisement
contained the truth there could be
no logical objection to 1t. 1t is the
element Of fraud. Intentional or 9TH
erwise, which makes advertising by
cur profession so Objectionable Any
advertisement devoid Of exaggeration
either expressed or implied. should
be regarded as legitimate"
