4 BUSINESS CONVENTION.

The Western North Carolina boost
er" movement appears to have passed
the preliminary stage and ia taking the
form of q really business organization.
The assembly In this city on last
Thursday was composed of an earn
est, enthusiastic body of men, who
were here for business, and the result
OF their efforts is the permanent or
ganization of The Greater Western
North Carolina Association. The
counties of Buneombe, Haywood, Hen
derson, Jackson, Madison, Polk and
Pennsylvania, with the promised Co
operation of the Southern Railway
Company, form the nucleus for this
association, the purpose of which is
the exploitation of the attractions and
advantages of the Land of the Sky"
Other counties of this section may ally
themselves with the movement under
the rules of the organization set forth
in the prospectus and bylaws.
The meeting of the Association on
Thursday was for organization pur-
poses. At a previous meeting held in
AsheViIle on October 18th a temporary
organization was perfected, plans for
permanent work outlined and the va
rious committees instructed to work
out the numerous suggestions present
ed and report their conclusions to a
future meeting, of those interested.
Hendersonville was, selected as the
place for the next meeting and the ex-
Thursday, November 2Srd, as the date.
The hot air" period having passed,
reports of committees claimed the at
tention of the delegates in this con-
vention, the time of two lengthy ses-
sions. being devoted to considering
committee recommendations. In short,
the convention approved a tentative
form of charter, adopted report of the
committee on constitution and by
laws, accepted the recommendations
Of the Board of Directors relating to
assessments for the purpose of main
tanning the organization, and selected
officers for the ensuing year. The
convention did not execute it's work in
haphazzard way, but proceeded care
ully and cautiously with the consid-
ration of every proposition, or sug-
estion brought before 1t. The result
its deliberations is, therefore, en-
tiled to the most earnest considera-
ton of every individual who is inter
ested in the immediate development

HEARD STORY OF CAVE
ELEVEN YEARS AGO

Chas. H. Duncan, of the Ceylon Tea
store, recalls a conversation he heard
between Conductor Jim Owens and
some railroad associates at West
cliffe eleven years ago. that will be
of interest to those concerned in the
effort being made to locate the re-
puted cave in the cliffs of the Royal
Gorge
Mr. Owens was at that time running
on the Wet Mountain branch of the
Denver & Rio Gr nde road between
Texas Creek and westc'ine and was
one of the most popular men in the
company's service. He subsequently
was employed as conductor on. the
main line and will be remembered by
a great many Canon City people as a
wen informed man and an unusually
genial, eompanionable sort OF fell
low.
Mr.. Owens and his companions
were talking abou, the building Of the
railroad through the gorge from Can
on City to Parkdale and of the diff
fioulties the company had to over
come. both from the antagonism of
the Santa Fe people and from the ma
tural barriers in the way of its con-
struction. Mr.. Owens said that one
day when the grade was about half
finished he was sent by the superin-
tendent OF the work to lead one OF the
horses employed in connection with
the enterprise down to the river to
drink. and. I'm doing so, had his at
tention attracted by big bear on the
south side of the stream. about four
or five feet up the mountain side. Mr.
Ovens reported what he had seen to
the superintendent. and, as soon as
they could arm themselves. several
men started out after his bearship.
They didn't get the bear. according to
Mr. Owens. but in beating the bushes
to find him. discovered n beautiful
cave. the extent OF which they were
unable TO even guess. although they
were convinced from their investiga-
tions that it was quite a large one.
Plans were made TO explore the cave
by the men, but, owing to the diff
Guilty OF crossing the river at that
time. nothing ever came OF them. That
a big cavern was found in one OF the
gulches this side OF the Hanging
bridge by men employed in the CON
struction of the Denver & Rio Grande
track through the Royal Gorge thir-
ty years ago seems to admit of no
doubt. The Canon City Business
Mems association will make an effort
to relocate 1t this spring.
