EXPERT TESTIMONY FOR DE-
PENDANTS IN RIVER CASE


A. H. Low, of Denver, prominent IN
that city as chemist, was put on the
witness stand by the defendant in the
river ciarifcation case at noon on
Thursday and the submission Of his
testimony has occupied the attsn-
ton OF the court ever since. Mr.. Low
has been in the employ of the defend
ant for some time, and. in that rela-
tion, has made no fewer than seven
analyzations of water taken from the
Arkansas river at various points be-
tween Granite and Pueblo and is thor
oughly familiar with the properties
it holds in solution and with the
amount and character of the silt car
ried by it at the different seasons OF
the year. Mr. Low this afternoon made
jim the presence of the court-fiitra-
tions of a number OF samples Of water
taken from half dozen points along
the river in an effort to establish one
of the contentious OF the attorneys
for the defense. Mr.. Low gave 1t as
his opinion. baced upon deductions
reached from his Investigations, that
fifteen times as much mud and silt
was washed into the river between
Canon City and Pueblo as there was
between Granite and Canon City. The
geology OF the country west OF here,
as well as its sparse'y settled condi-
ton. minimizes the quantity OF min
eraI and vegetable matter washed in
to the river. while the sandy soil and
irrigation methods employed between
here and Pueblo vastly augments the
sources and extent OF the pollution
From present Indications 1t will be

THE COUNTY FAIR


Now that we have had time to
brush on our clothes and shake the
dust out of our hair let's look back
at the county fair ana sort of take
stock. as it were
Was it success?
Is the Fair worth while?
Is it worth all it costs?
As to the first query it was de-
cided success. Everybody could see
that 1t was excellently managed and
the program on the track was the
best ever. The program was fully
as good as any that has ever been
pulled on in any fair ground in the
state, not even excepting the state
fair at Pueblo.
The exhibits were good in every
department. especially os fruits of
the tree and soil In no single coun-
ty in the state can better display
of fruits and apples especially oe
found. Each year the display of
fruits is a marvel to our own citi-
zens and an encouragement for bet
ter efforts.
Is the Fair worth while?
We think it is. 1t is worth while
to show our people what we can do
by bringing together the best from
many farms. Such an exhibition of
fruits and vegetables has a great
influence in building up our re-
sources and encouraging other peo-
pie to plant other varieties OF fruits
and vegetables. 1t helps to build up
diversified crops.
Beside this we have thousands OF
people here from other parts of the
state and from other states who find
out more in a day of our resources
than they could learn otnerwise IN
q year. And then the general ef-
feet OF a holiday season for our own
people is Of value. It's a good thing
to jar loose from business for a day
or two now and then and it's a
good thing to provide the entertain
ment at home.
Is it worth what it costs2
We think so. A Fair costs some
money. No fair We know anything
about is entirely self-sustainins.
Ours has required some subscrip-
tons on the street from time to time
Last year no subscriptions were
taken This year 1t was necessary.
Last year the loss was taken care
Cañon City record., 1911-09-28

of by surplus left over from the
year before. This year the treasury
was depleted and it was necessary
to raise little money on the street
When all the expenses and premiums
are paid it will be found that all the
receipts and most of the subscrip-
tions will be eaten up
But it's worth all it costs
In the first place every dollar put
into the Fair goes directly back into
the pockets of our own citizens. Not
dollar is taken out of town. The
races cost about $4,000 but when you
count up all the horses and horse
men who are here you can easily
count up that they leave more mon
ey here than the winners take away.
And all the premiums are paid to
people in the county. Something like
$1,000 are paid out in purses, prem
iums and expenses and every dollar
goes back into the local business
channels Besides this the
people who come in from outside
spend about 5000 or $4,000 in the
town In a commercial way it is a
paying proposition for the county
Here is another point you may not
have thought Of Before our Fair was
put on successful basis heavy spe-
cial trains were run out each year
to Rocky Ford. Pueblo and Denver
fairs On those excursions many
thousands OF dollars were taken out
of town Nov only q few people 60
away from town to attend fairs All
that money is kept at home That
feature alone justines all the sub
scriptions that are raised on Main
street
Every way you figure 1t the Fair
is a success and worth all the mon
ey it costs every one concerned
This community owes a debt Of
gratitude to Mr. w. B. Rowland
who has SO successfully conducted
the secretary's Office for several
yearu- He has made a business of the
Fair to the detriment OF his private
business and he has developed into
an excellent fair man. More credit,
much more credit. is due him than
is usually given By the casual OBJ
server And no one appreciates this
more than the directors who know
how much responsibility he has re-
lieved them Of

CONTESTS STARTED
ON PRINTING BIDS

Difficulties arising over bids for the
printing contracts for the county will
be adjusted at the meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners Tuesday when it is
anticipated the Nicholson Printing
company of this city will be awarded
the contract for all classifications OF
printing For the first class printing
Nicholson company bid $1,000.75 and
Ralph Rainey of Portland bid 81 1,000.75.
The Portland company farm" its
work out and as it is contrary to law
to give a public contract to firm
which does not do the woIk in its own
office the commissioners turned down
the bid. Rainey contended that as he
had the lowest and in his judgment
therefore the best bid, he was entitled
to the contract. His contention likely
will be presented by an attorney.
The Ballinger Printing company OF
this city who bid against Nicholson
company for the contracts for second
and third class printing offered higher
bids. However, it was claimed that II
the commissioners were going to give
the contract to Nicholson for the first
class printing in preference to the
Portland firm, which had lower bid
than the Ballinger company, being a
local firm should be given the con
tract for one of the other classified
tons of printing.

DOG QUARANTINE
BEING ENFORCED
investigation Shows Wide
Spread of the Epidemic
of Rabies.

That great danger will result from
disobedience of the order quarantining
all dogs of Wayne township is the
statement given out this afternoon by
City Health Commissioner T. Henry
Davis. DR.. Davis says tE2: row, in the
holiday shopping season, the streets
are congested with people, and espe-
cially there is an unusual number Of
little children on the streets, therefore
it would be extremely dangerous to
allow unmuZzled dogs at large.
DR.. Davis also warns people against
the prevailing theory that to cauterize
"a wound is palladium against rab-
les. The state board of health has a
fund of $4,000, composed of 5 per cent
of all money paid for dig licenses,
which DR.. Davis announces is to be
used to give free Pasteur treatment
to anyone who notifies the state board
of health that he has been bitten by
an infected dog.
After investigating the circumstan-
ces in connection with the reign Of
terror created when Mayor thinner
DR.. Davis states that three dogs
were bitten by the enraged animal in
front of the interurban station on
Eighth street. Two of these animals
belonging to Charles Jordan and ole
Warner, are being treated by DR.. Hoo
yer. Two dogs and two cats belong
ing to Chatfield Lancaster died last
week from rabies and two cats belong
ing to Chatfield Lancaster died last
week from rabies on a farm near here,
and the health authorities are investi-
eating this to see if it can be connect
ed with the local epidemic. Several
other dogs, probably five all told, were
bitten on Main street. DR.. Davis adds
| that rabies is not "a hot weather dis
ease," but comes whenever a dog is
! inoculated.
