GREATLY BENEFITED.BY
e CANON CITY CLIMATE

Mr.. John w. Hawkins. Of Carthage,
Missouri, came to Canon City Just
three weeks ago with rheumatism SO
bad that he had to be carried out of
the train. He has been staying at
the home of w. T. Dodd. During
those three weeks Mr.. Hawkins has
gained fourteen pounds and has got
ten rid of his rheumatism. He has a
prosperous business back in Garth
ago. but he is going back to sell it
for he thinks his health is more valu-
able than business. He says 1t is de-
plorable and a poor boost for the town
to have so many For Sale" signs
appearing in the vacant houses. He
thinks that it is one good reason why
people don't invest in property here.
The other day he was out on Twelfth
street and he saw five houses in u
row with For Sale" signs in the win
dows. With that kind of a boost a
man won't come here and invest In
property even If he is here for his
health and expects to stay for a long
time.

CITY LEGISLATURE
IN REGULAR SESSION
Council Granted Privilege to the Uniform
Rank, Knights of Pythias, to Use City
Park for Camping Purposes.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the city council was held Monday
night and several matters of import
ance considered, although final ac-
ton was takes in relation to very
few of them. DR.. w. T. Little was
present, and on behalf of Coeur de
Leon Lodge, No. As, asked that au-
thority to be given the Uniform Rank,
knights of Pythias, to use the City
park for camping purposes during
its annual encampment here on Au-
gust 29th, Both, and 31st. The request
was granted, as was also the petition
to be allowed the privilege of decor
ating Main street with Pythian PEN
nants and banners On the OCCASION of
the meeting of the grand lodge in
connection with the encampment. DR..
Little stated that fully six hundred
visitors would be here during the
grand lodge sessions and he asked
Mayor Smith to extend the hospital
tiles Of the city to them in an address
of welcome.
Incidentally, DR.. Little petltioned
the council to try the oiling of por-
ton of Ninth street as a means Of
keeping down the dust and obviating
the mud. He stated that many of the
residents along Ninth street were de-
sirous of having the city test the mat
ter and expressed the opinion that
they would purchase the oil for the
use on the roadway adjacent to their
property if the council would stand
the expense of crowning the street
and applying the oil. He said that
he had collected lot of data on the
subject and believed that sufficient
quantity of oil for a thirty foot drive
way through an average city block
could be purchased for twenty or
twenty-five dollars. In view of the
recent Investigations of the council
anent the oiling proposition no ac-
ton was taken in relation to DIR. Lit
ties petition.
The fire committee, to whom the
matter was referred at a previous
meeting with power to act, reported
that it had awarded the contract to

fire tower from its present location
on the city hall property to Harding's
addition for the sum of ninety-five
dollars. The tower will be re-erected
on Fairview avenue, between Sixth
and Seventh streets, in conformity
with plans made several months ago.
