TEMPLE CANON
MAY BECOME CITY
PLEASURE GROUNDS

The matter of asking congress to
convey to the City OF Canon City for
park purposes six hundred and forty
acres of the public domain on Grape
creek, containing within its boundar-
les Temple canon and its surround
ings, has been discussed at intervals
for several years, but not until the
present administration in municipal
matters came in was anything definite
done in the premises. Congressman
Edward T. Taylor of Glenwood
Springs, who has interested himself
in procuring grants of government
land for park purposes all over the
state, has taken the proposition up
and thinks there will be no doubt of
favorable action by the authorities at
Washington as soon as the matter
can be brought up for consideration.
In the course of a letter to Mayor
Tanner on the subject, under date of
February Is, Mr.. Taylor says:
your favor of the 7th inst, advis-
ing me of the desire OF your city to
have section 10. Township 10, S. r.
II W. 9th P. NJ, set apart as park
for Canon City, just received; and /
will at once introduce a bill for that
purpose and also take up with the
Secretary of the Interior to have the
land withdrawn from all forms of en-
try until such time as the bill can be
acted upon by Congress.
81 should advise you, however, that
It being right in the closing days and
final rush of this Sixty-first Congress,
that there will be no possibility of
passing the bill now. But II can get
the land withdrawn and held inabay-
ance until the bill can be reached, l
think / can secure its passage next
winter.
81 trust you have given me the prop
er description of the land. Several
of the towns that I have introduced
bills for gave me the wrong sub-di-
visions and descriptions, which caus-
ed considerable bother and annoy
ance; and in fact. in one or two cases
/ fear they will lose their rights, as
the bills call for land several miles
away from that they want.
With my kindest regards, I re-
main, Yours very respectfully,
Edward T. TAYLOR"

BRAVE STORM To GO
TO TOP OF GORGE

Mr.. and Mrs. T. C. Thorpe of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, had heard a great deal
about our famous skyline drive and
the well known Royal Gorge road.
Friends had told them all about the
wonders around here and what they
hadn't heard they had read about in
advertisements. The result was that
when they found that they had to
move to Salt Lake City they decided
TO come by way OF Canon City so that
they might see for themselves what
they had read and heard so much
about. They arrived here Monday in
the midst of the storm that now holds
the valley in its grasp.
The cold weather was, of course, a
handicap, but they had come here ex-
pressly to enjoy the unique pleasure
of riding along the crest of hogback
and also of gazing down a half mile
from the top of the gorge and they
were not going to be deprived of the
trip so this morning they were bundl-
ed up we'll by the people at the Strath
more where they are staying and
were started out with a horse and
buggy. The roads were too rough for
an auto.
Although 1t was n little cold they
were well pleased with the ride.
Their idea of the mountains with
their grandeur and of the mountain
roads with scientific road building ap-
piled was greatly broadened and they
stated that they felt they were more
than repaid for the time spent here.

In recent years Il has become less ornate,
owing partly to the increased cost OF
building and partly TO the popular trend
toward simpler things, and simpler ways

The mission style owes its origin to

where Il gradually worked it's way north

Using on which TO develop the purely
American style, since they are more dis
tinctly American than any other style

toward the colonial style than the mission
is probable, since the colonial style car

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
it is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LL.D.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts Of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice 10
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex.
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non.meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty Of it and
eat it frequently. 8
