hot month of June and more than

The mean temperature for the month
was 707 degrees. or 1903 above nor
NAL. June, 1881, had a mean temper

The hottest day last month was June

cool in a number OF Eastern states.

SKYLINE DRIVE AND ROYAL
GORGE IN MOVING PICTURES

1t has long been the ambition OF the
Canon City Business Mems association
and the people of this community gen.
orally, for that matter, to have some
of the mountain scenery here shown
in moving pictures, but nothing has
been done to procure the necessary
films on account of the heavy cost of
such an undertaking. One eastern
concern wanted a thousand dollars
for securing the required photographs
of the Skyline drive and the road to
the top of the Royal Gorge, and 9TH
sr firms with which the association
took up the matter demanded from
three to five hundred dollars for the
same work The lowest Of these fig
ures were considered too high and the
matter was allowed to rest until
more favorable proposition was sub
mitted.
This morning Mr.. Maddox was sur
prised and gratified to receive a COM
munication from F. A. Wadleigh, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Co. in which
he stated that plans were perfected
to do the work without expense to the
people of Canon City and that pho
tagrapher would be sent here on
Thursday to of this week to take the
pictures needed in such a venture.
Mr.. adleigh's letter to Mr.. Maddor fol-
lows:
I'VE have just made arrangements
with Mr.. Crowhurst, expert operator
for the Lyman H. Howe Moving Pic
ture company, for the taking of a Sc
ries of pictures along our line, includ-
ing the Royal Gorge, Skyline Drive and
the Royal Gorge road. Our Mr.. Beam
will accompany him, and according to
present plans they will take the Royal
Gorge from west to east on July 9Th;
arriving Canon City on the afternoon
of that day. They can then make the
trip over the Skyline and out to the
summit of the gorge either that af-
ternoon or the next day-we will ad-
wise you definitely later upon that
score. For the purpose of supplying
movement, | think it would be we'll
for you to have as many automobiles
moving along the road as possible.
Mr.. Crowhurst is one of Mr.. Howe's
expert operators. and l think there is
no question that excellent results will
be obtained in this instance"

At a regular meeting of the city
council Monday night D. E. Gibson
addressed its members in relation to
oiling Ninth street rom the Denver

College avenue with view of miti-
eating dust and mud on that thorough
fare. Mr.. Gibson stated that crude
petroleum had been used to excellent
advantage on the roadways in por-
tions of California and other states

tions to investigate the proposition

sum OF money from the city rev.
enues to assist the fair association
in giving its annual exhibitions is q
time-honored one and no serious op-
position was developed in relation 10
the petition. The money will come
out of the miscellaneous fund.
Alderman Dickinson submitted to
the council an agreement from the
property owners directly interested.
asking that the alley between Main
street and Macon avenue and between
Fifth and Sixth streets be paved. The
property owners agree 10 pay hfty
dollars on each lot towards the cost

was the fiftieth anniversary of the
! marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Delos w.
Bowen, of Lincoln Park.
The occasion which marked the con-
cusion Of half century of most hap
by married life proved to be very
enjoyable one, and one long to be re-
membered by all fortunate enough to
be present. Especially so by the
couple who have seen the successful

ten years ago.
| The commodious home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bowen on Grand Ave, was COM

strain or watching cars go around a
track for seven hours is more than
the average person cares to undertake

lapse in the interest, which would not
be the case with the shorter race. Less

upon experienced drivers for the race.
He thinks 1t will be advisable to es-
tablish two classes of drivers. in one
