MANY AUTOMOBILE PARTIES
=. / HERE FROMlTHE WEST

A great many automobile parties
from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Missouri are visiting Colorado
this summer and Canon City is get
ing its share of them. Hardly a day
passes that from two to half a dozen
touring cars do not come here from
some OF the states to the eastward,
either by way of Colorado Springs
or Pueblo. All of them have heard
of the Skyline Drive and the new
scenic highway to the top of the Roy
al Gorge and they come here to see
II they are as attractive as represent
en-. In every Instance the visitors ex-
press themselves as delighted and
promise to send their friends here
TO see what has been accomplished
in the matter OF road building in the
mountains. From now on until Sept
ember and later auto parties may be
expected to Canon City almost daily
from the Missouri river states. The
com pletion OF the New Santa Fe Trail
from Independence. Missouri. across
the state OF Kansas to the Colorado
boundary and on up the Arkansas val
ley to the top of the Royal Gorge will
greatly stimulate travel in this di-
recion- 1t is but a question of few
years until Canon City will be in
cluded in the Itinerary of nearly ev-
cry automobile party and tourist that
comes to Colorado for a summer out
ing. Every visitor that comes here
goes home as a sort OF advertiser for
the community. and, in that way, the
fame of our mountain scenery is be-
ing exploited in all parts of the coun-
try.

CANON CRY CHERRIES
IN DEMAND IN KANSAS

The crop OF Eary Richmond cher
ries in the Canon City district will be
practically harvested this year before
the fourth OF July, after which the
Montmorency and other varieties will
begin to find. their way tc market
The Early Richmond cherries this sea-
son have surprised growers by their
heavy yield; the output of the Canon
City territory being considerably in
excess OF the general anticipations.
The Montmorency and other later va
rieties. however. will fall below the
average on account of this being their
rest year" The Montmorency has
been a very prolific bearer through
out Fremont county for several sue
cessive seasons. but. for some unac-
couniable reason. is not doing so well
this time.
Growers have received from one
dollar sixty-five cents to one dollar
and seventy-fve cents a crate for cher
ries during the past week: which Is
considered very satisfactory price.
A large proportion Of the cherries pro-
duced in Canon City district this sea-
son have been shipped to points in
eastern and central Kansas. although
a. considerable quantity have been
marketed in Leadviile. Salida, and the
towns OF the San Luis valley. Kansas
dealers are partial to Canon City
grown cherries and they always top
the market there for such fruit. This
year there is bigger demand for our
horticultural products in the Sun
flower" state than ever before; a fact
that may be influential in the determ-
ination OF the prices to be paid local
growers. The raspberry crop. which
will come in next week. promises to
be one of the best known here for a
long time.

"A Love Letter

Romance still lives, even though
some pessimists may be inclined at

growing worse. And romance lives,

ANOTHER BIG APPLE
SHOW FOR DENVER

The fruit growers OF Fremont coun-
ty will be intensely interested in the
announcement that Denver will be
the scene of another monster Apple
Show in November of this year. This
in connection with the information
that the Spokane National Apple Show
will not be held this year and that the
fruit growers of the Northwest will
combine with Colorado on the Apple
Show at Denver auditorium, means a
truly national event. There were ex-
hibits entered from 16 states at the
Denver apple show a year ago, as
the directors of the American Apple
Exposition association, which Is the
name of the organization handling the
Denver show this year. are preparing
the biggest premium list ever offered
for an event of this character. The
classification OF prizes will be along
considerable different lines this year
than at any prevous apple show.
In order that distant sections may
have an equal chance at the big prem
iums and also to enable the small
growers to compete for the large
prizes. it Is planned to cut the carlot
class to fifty boxes. Where previously
q prize OF $1,000 or about 81 box was
offered on the carlot class of 5o4 boxes
Il is planned TO hang up $3.50 or IS
a box on the fifty box exhibits. Also
jzstead OF making all grades COM
fsie against each other in the car
lot class. this year there will be sepa-
rate prizes in the fifty box classes on
the leading commercial varieties. such
as donations. winesap, Gano. Spitz-
enbergs. some six or eight leading
varieties.
