Committee From the
Commercial Club
Locate Canon.

The committee on scenic attrac-
tions" of the Canon City Business
Mems association, which consists of
DR.. Otis Orerdorff, W. Babberger and
DR.. Herman Graves, last week explor-
ed an unnamed canon within a short
distance from town which it recon-
mends be made known to the public
through the association. In its report
upon the matter to Secretary Maddox
the committee says:
I'VE have just returned from a most
delightful exploration of q canon, yet
to be named and yet to be enjoyed by
the many who seek recreation and
rest in Colorado's rustic scenery. The
special value of the canon in question
as a scenic asset lies. in the first place.
in its proximity to town and its ac-
cessability to the public; secondly in
its possession of a spring of clear.
mountain water, and. last. but not
least, in plenty OF cool, shady places
where one may rest in comfort while
enjoying the beauty of the surround
ings.
Many a turn may be taken, where.
by little climbing. surprises will be
opened upon the vision. vistas reveal
ed that are as delightful as they are
unexpected. While the ascent to the
canon will, perhaps. be found little
more steep than the road leading to
Williams canon at Colorado Springs
the trip will more than repay the Wis
itor for his exertion. In fact, the COM
mittee has no hesitancy in saying that
when 1t has once been reached the Wis
itor will vote the environment to be
fully as attractive as the well known
and much advertised resort at Mani
tou, to which 1t has been likened.
'The committee noted some very
pretty blooming cacti in the vicinity

ANOTHER CANON CITY
GIRL TAkEn:AWAY

On Thursday, June 22nd, very
pretty wedding was solemnized at the
home of Rev. F. F. Stewart at 1011
South Fourth street when in the pres
ence of a few intimate friends, Mr..
Logan West, of Pueblo, and Miss Es-
ther r. Johns, of Canon City, were
united in marriage at 1890 o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Stewart presiding elder OF the
Free Methodist church of which
church both of the contracting parties
were members.
After congratulations the wedding
party sat down to a dainty luncheon
consisting OF bread and butter. pressed
chicken, cold tongue garnished with
lettuce. salad. pickles. iced tea. ripe
cherries. brides cake and ice cream
with cherry sauce.
The table was decorated with pam
sizes. The beautiful bride was attired
In a simple white dress and wore a
boquet of white roses. The going
away dress was light tan and blue.
The groom wore light gray suit.
Miss Johns was prominent in church
and evangelistic work here and was
loved by all who knew he T.
Mr.. West is young man of excel
lent Christian character. and their
many freinds predict for them happy
and prosperous future.
Mr.. and Mrs. West were accompa-
MED to the train by Rev. and Mrs.
Stewart, and left at 2:25 for Colorado
Springs on short wedding trip. after
which they will be at home to their
friends at 116 Jackson street, Pueblo.

away, was the Arkansas river and a
part of South Canon with its verdure
embowered homes. Farther away was
Lincoln Park, Smelter heights, Wolf
Park and the Hot Springs addition,
all of them pleasing to the eye. OF
to the right, and. in plain sight, was
Grape Creek canon, showing the ice
house and the winding road leading
to it. The panorama is an expansive
one to the south and southeast, ter
minating only with the limitation of
ones vision. To the west and north
the view is restricted by the noun
tains which lead up to the Royal
Gorge and the rugged, somber hills
farther to the westward which consti-
tute a sort of buttress to the Sangre
de Christie range, or continental di-
vide. The view we had of the sur
rounding country was worth to us
all of the exertion we had extended in
reaching the point which made it pos
sible. AS picnic resort we know of
nothing more delightful land romantic
than the canon above the waterworks
reservoir"

HARRY BROWN RETURNS
FROM GREETERS' MEET

Brownie" Brown. manager OF the
Denton. came back last night from a
week at the Greeters' Association con-
vention in St. Louis. Harry reports
that the meetings were the most sue
cessful ever held by the organization.
In the last issue OF Tavern Talk"
published in Kansas City the conven-
tion was well written up and Mr..
Browns name appears prominently in
several places In connection with the
actions OF the executive board.
Several excursions and long trips
were rendered to the hotel men out OF
compliment to their visit to st. Louis.
Photographs published in the above
mentioned magazine show Mr.. Brown
having a good time.

dy hooks for repose; two man-made
caves in a neighboring bank and
few paper mache plates, giving evil
dence that we were not the discover
ers of the place and that others had
been there be fore.
"The road to the canon is shorter
by a considerable distance to Ere
mont's peak and is interesting every
foot of it. A trail can be opened up
by smoothing down the
rougher places and placing few
guideboards at points where the Wis
itor is likely to go astray. By doing
this little service for our people and
for the tourists who come here to en-
joy our climate and our mountain
views we will have opened up a trail
to one of the most beautiful picnic
grounds of which the committee has
any knowledge"
In talking with Mr.. Maddox about
the trip the committee said: start
ing from Soda point we proceeded to
the waterworks reservoir over the
winding, picturesque road made by the
city couple of years ago for the pur-
pose of affording the contractors of
the new waterworks plant an oppor-
tunity of hauling the necessary ma
chinery and material up the hill where
it could be used in the construction of
the filtration and settling basins. A
little ways beyond the reservoirs we
ntered the canon to the right of the
sulvert under the grade built up for
the support of the waterworks line.
The beauty Of the canon soon begins
to unfold itself upon you and one
surprise follows another in rapid sue
cession until you come to the crossing
Of the trail that leads up the side and
on to the top of Fremonts peak. At
this point you are apt to stop for a
few minutes and take a long look

When about half way up the gulch
we turned to the left TO climb a hill
that promised an exceptionally good
looking upon the surrounding country.
On our extreme left a superb panora-
ma was revealed; the memory of
which will remain with us for a long
lime. Beyond where we sat we could
see the crest of Mount Grant and in
The distance the rugged nature of the

SOME GOOD, STRONG
POULTRY. TALK

There Is a reason for everything
except Colorado buying poultry pro-
ducts from other states. Fasteners
hear and tell alarming tales of the
difficulty of Matching and rearing
poultry at our altitude. and our own
poultrymen are prone to blame the
high altitude rather than their own
carelessness or ignorance for poor
results.
II our mile-up altitude is the cause
of three hundred and twenty days of
sunshine a year, cool summer nights
and dry atmosphere. it should be con-
sidered very valuable asset by the
poultrymen. We know of very good
matches at 5000 feet altitude. and OF
some very poor matches at sea level.
Our air is light but 1t is a simple mat
ter to furnish more air to our incu-
bators; our air carries very little
moisture during some months. but
moisture can be supplied when neces-
sary. On the other hand these condi-
tons during the rearing season make
1t possible to raise a larger per CEN
tage of chicks and bring them to ma
turity quicker and at less expense
than 1t is possible where there is an
excessive amout OF rainfall. al food
necessary to health, rapid growth and
large egg yield. can be grown by our
farmers and whatever grain is con-
yerted by the hens into eggs will
bring three times as much as does
that sold on the market.
The cost OF grain when purchased
is not prohibitive to good profits and
splendid results are being obtained
by some OF our poultrymen on a small
acreage who purchase all their grain.
Many OF them are producing eggs at
a cost OF less than ten cents a dozen
One can readily see the opportunities
for profit In egg production when eggs
bring as good prices as they do with
us. Many OF the sick who come to
Colorado must have fresh eggs for
food and are willing to pay good
prices for them. During the late fall
and early winter months we depend
very largely upon outside sources or
cold storage for our supply and until
eight thousand farmers produce each
ten dollars worth more OF poultry pro-
ducts weekly we will have to import
Expensive poultry buildings are un-
necessary. Where lumber Ii used one
thickness OF matched boards 10 sum
cient protection from the cold; glass
is not necessary as the south end OF
the building can be left open every
day. and during cold nights a curtain
of muslin or burlap over the opening
will furnish ventilation and sufficient
protection. Where sand and gravel
are easily obtained concrete buildings
may be found more satisfactory than
