The regular meeting of the MEM
bers of the Canon City Automobile
club was held at the room of the bus
mess mems association Monday night.
There was large attendance and
drivers and the public at large was
taken up for consideration. For some
time it has been felt that some plan
ought to be worked out for the con-
troll and government of automobile
traffic on both the Royal Gorge and
Skyline drives. Travel over these
roads is becoming heavier all the
time and the danger of accident is
correspondingly increased. A great
many drivers are careless in the
handling of their cars. and, in order
to afford the public as much protec-
ton as possible, the signboard COM
mittee of the club was instructed to
formulate some rules of safety" to
be placed in the hands of every auto
driver in town. These regulations
will instruct autoists how to handle
their cars on both the up-going and
return trip. The purpose of the pro-
posed rules will be to safeguard the
public. A committee. consisting of
DR.. Hart Goodloe, W. E. Galley and
Geo. H. Sale. was appointed to ar
range for a run" and picnic on La

cart blanche In the matter OF ar

was instructed to take up the matter
of better roads and improved con-

A resolution was adopted by the
Fremont county commissioners on
Wednesday Of this week asking the
state highway commission for twenty
thousand dollars OF the appropriation
made by the last legislature for the
construction of public roads in Col
orado during the next two years The
commissioners have figured out that
an allotment OF ten thousand dollars
year for the bi-annual period COW
cred by the appropriations is about
what this county is entitled 10 and
What It needs to carry on the work
now in progress. or in contemplation.
Under the provision OF the law reg
ulating appropriations for highway
construction those counties accept
ing money from the state must raise
as much by direct taxation for that
purpose as they receive from the in
ternal Improvement fund. which
means that the general road tax in
this county for the next couple Of
years will be about the same as 1t
has been during the last two years,
which has not been extravagant, con-
sidering what has been accomplished
in the improvement of the public
roads.

SALIDA PEOPLE ARE
GREATLY INTERESTED IN
IN RIVER CLARiFICATIOh

In the course of its account of the
proceedings of the regular meeting OF
the Salida Commercial club the Mail
OF that city in its last issue says: ''R
P Rubin, chairman OF the committee
on game and fish, reported an answer
from State Game and Fish Commits
sioner Jas. A. Shinn, concerning the
request to re-stock both Little and
Big Arkansas rivers with all fish
available. On advice, the secretary
read the communication. Commission
er Shinn was of the opinion that a
restocking of the Arkansas would
be out of the question until sufi-
cent guarantee that the river no long
er be polluted is obtainable If the
vital case on trial in the courts at
people, vast amount of fish will no
doubt be at once forthcoming. AS the
case now is, Commissioner Shinn as
sures the club that a number of ma
tives from the Glenwood hatchery will
be shipped for the Little Arkansas
river soon.
Following the adjusting of all old
business. President Davenport ad-
dressed the club in detail on the mat
ter of the Arkansas river pollution

be with them while in the "pen city, "
a vast influence towards the swinging

CLEARING A WATER SUPPLY

A suit is now being tried in Canon
City which is of much more than usual
importance. 1t involves the right of
the people of many cities and towns
of the Arkansas valley to obtain clear
drinking water from their only prac-
ticable source of supply, the river.
The natural conclusion of any in
telligent person would be that no min
ing company or Industrial enterprise
of any kind, would have the right to
pcllute the water supply of 100000
people, but that is precisely the point
that this trial is to determine. 1t is
claimed that under the laws of Col
orado the mining company has the
right TO discharge sediment into the
stream near its head, and in the pres
ent case this sediment is of such a
quality that il remains in suspension
as far as Canon City, Pueblo, and the
Kansas line.
The court at Canon City. and the high
er courts of appeal, are wholly COM
petent to decide the legal points in
volved and to determine what the law
is at the present time. But if the de-
cision is adverse to the domestic wat
er users, then it will be for the state
to say what the law ought to be.
If Colorado law permits a mining
company to destroy the value of one
of the big streams of this state for
drinking purposes, then it is time for
that law to be changed, with power
and reasonable regard for the vested
rights that have been established un-
der the present conditions.-R Rocky

RETURN VERDICT
OF NOT GUILTY

The case of the Fremont County
Sportsmens association versus Har-
old B. Brown, Arthur Feller, Troy
Hughart, Charles Roberts and Arthur
Morgan for Tespass, which was APP
pealed by the defendants from the de-
cision of Justice Carmody at Flor
ence, occupied the attention of judge
and jury in county court on Wednes-
day. The prosecution was conducted
by Deputy District Attorney Orion
W. Locke and George H. Wilkes of
Florence; the defense being conduct
ted by Jas A. Stump OF the law firm
of Waldo, Dawson & Stump.
The defendants to the suit, all of
whom are residents of this city and
employees of the Colorado Telephone
company, were arrested for trespass-
ing on private property on the 25th
of June of the current year at the in
stance of the complainant while fish
ing within the boundaries of the as
sociation's preserve on East Beaver
creek They were taken to Florence
and arraigned before Justice Carmody,
who adjudged them guilty under the
statute and fined them each twenty
five dollars and costs. The defense
set up by the attorneys for the ap-
pellants in county court was that
inasmuch as the preserve was not
properly fenced where the offense was
guilty of no wrong doing and could
not be held amenable to the statute
defining trespass. While most of the
fishing preserve of the Fremont
County Sportsmen's association is
legally inclosed that portion of it
where the defendants in this case
we're taken into custody was not fenc-
ed within the meaning of the law, and,
in consequence, they could not be pun
ished for trespass.
The case enlisted great deal of
public interest and the outcome of
the trial was awaited with more than
the ordinary in such matters, The
hearing lasted all day and it was not
until 1880 o'clock in the evening that
the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty.

AWAIT TEST OF ORE

Iron ore. which in the opinH s,a
number of mining men, carried Frar
in considerable quantity, has been
discovered in the Royal Gorge about
three miles west of Canon City. The
find was made on a prospect which
is being worked by Geo. Karr. An
assay has not yet been made but
those most directly interested are
anxiously awaiting returns of test
which is being gun in Pueblo.
According to Mr.. Karr the ore is
a matrix of hematite iron and quartz
and is overlain by copper ore which
runs 1s.5 per cent copper and small
per cent of both silver and gold What
ever gold is present is in an oxidized
form and cannot be seen with the
naked eye A large lump Of the ore
was placed in the window of the Can
on Grocery company where it is still
on exhibition. The exact location OF
the claim, Mr.. Karr is mot telling
but 1t is safe to predict that num-
ber of stakes will Immediately be
driven when he chooses to make
known the place of discovery.
