ARRESTED FOR SELLING
LIQUOR IN DRY TERRITORY

Battista Scavardi was arrested by
the authorities Wednesday afternoon
on the charge of selling liquor in an
ti-saloon territory and this morning
at 10 O'Clock was taken into county
court where he entered a plea of not
guilty" before Judge Cooper and was
held in the sum OF three hundred dol
lars for trial next Tuesday. Scavardi
is the manager of Littell Brothers
store at the Wolf Park coal mine and
his offense is alleged to have been
committed there. Scayardi bears the
reputation Of being a iawabiding citi-
zen and this is the first complaint Of
the kind lodged against him. Wolf
Park is dry" territory under the To-
cal option law of Colorado and a Sc
we're penalty is provided by It for
those who violate its provisions. "Boot
Logging" and the operation of "blind
tigers" is a precarious business a,
best. particularly so in what is known
as "anti-saloon terriotry."

ers of the state and the stock show

increasing the salaries OF commits
sioners in counties OF the first, second
and third classes to $1,000 a year.
fourth class to $1,000 and the fifth
class to 1000.
The convention adopted a resolutic 1
favoring most OF the legislative pro-
gram of the good roads conference in
Denver last week, and put itself on
record as opposed to the bill creating
a state tax commission. a motion was
presented endorsing the plan to turn
over the internal revenue fund to tn =
county commissioners as a part of the
general fund for road construction
and improvement Some of the com-
missioners fought II on the ground
that it would deprive some OF the
counties of special appropriations.

twenty-one to ten. The Legislative
committee submitted a unanimous
report against the proposition to turn
over the internal Improvement fun1
to the state highway commission.

SAYS SKY LINE
DRIVE is fine

The views taken from the Skyline
drive and the new highway are be-
lieved to be the finest series of pho
tographs ever obtained in this portion
of Colorado and will be placed on sale
to the operators of moving picture
machines for exhibition to the public
through the firm of Howe & Co.. OF
New York and Philadelphia More
than seven hundred feet film was
used and many thousands of views
were secured. An effort will be made
by Secretary Maddox of the Business
Mems Association to have them
shown IN this city within the mex,
few months.
Many pictures of Canon City. as
we'll as points of scenic interest along
the crest of the hogback and in the
mountains between Three Mile spring
and the rim of the Grand Canon of
the Arkansas, were obtained and
constitute an exceptionally attractive
series of views. Some negotiation was
carried on several months ago look
ing to the photographing of scenes
from the Skyline drive for biograph
machines, but as the lowest estimate
OF the cost of such an undertaking
was two hundred and fifty dollars the
proposition was abandoned. That ths
work should be secured for nothing
is a matter for congratulation on the
part OF the people of Canon City as It
cannot fail to be one of the most ef-
fective bits of advertising the com
munity ever had.
Mr.. Lubken. who is at present con-
nected with the Reclamation Service
of the Department Of Agriculture at
Washington. D. c.. was very enthusl-
astic In relation to the beauty OF the
scenery about Canon City and pro-
nounced the Skyline drive one Of ths

ton In the United States. He said

CANON CITY
IS CONPL|-
MENTED

Mr.. B. C. Wa6e, state secretary OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, is in town assisting in a short
quiet campaign for funds in support
of the local association for the cul
rent year At a luncheon yesterday
noon Mr.. Wade made fiattering refer
ence to our city, its people, its clim-
ate, its churches, and its Young Mems
Christion Association. "A stranger
quickly notices the wholesome,
honey atmosphere of the place,
said he, ''aud have not yet found u
place that seems more desirable as d
place of residence for my family than
Canon City
Referring to the churches he said
they would be credit to cities many
times our size, and to the local asso
citation he is of the opinion the good
work now being done is much greater
than is popularity understood. "Your
Bible class enrolment of SO boys and
80 men is most creditable, being sur
passed by only two other associations
In the state, and the work you ara
doing through the boy Scouts" the
Sunday School Base Ball League and
the entertainment course is of high
order. Considering your present In
adequate facilities you are doing
splendid. efficient work"
The local directors have decided on
a campaign for a new building next
September and Mr.. Wade believes
there Is no doubt as to the successful
issue of that campaign. Trinidad Is
to have a similar campaign this
spring, as is also Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Mr.. Wade reports association work
prosperous all over the state. On the
Western Slope county work is being
developed, Delta county being already
organized. Preliminary work Is un-
der way in Mesa and Garfield counties
and the city OF Montrose is likely to
soon have a local association. The
Farmers Congress which met at For+
Collins last week passed resolution
endorsing the county type or z. n. c.
A. work for rural communities. an
commencing 1t TO the support of those
able to assist in its promotion.
The local canvass for funds, which
commenced yesterday noon. is meet
ing with a generally favorable re-
sponse and is evidence that our peo-
pie are not unappreciative OF the good
work being done.
