 The government funds will be spent t&t portion of the road between the junction of the Willow and Otter street roads and Flat but later the road commission will spend money that portion of Willow adjacent the city because Willow has been adopted the govern ment highway known such for year, and govern ment money has aeady been spent on that highway

 The corduroy is light is the surface covering and heavy loads much damage.
 The Willow street road in excellent condition save the portions close to town and considerable distance along the sdeh just before the junction with the Otter road To get it in shape for travel money must needs be spent it at once.
 To add to these difficulties there is conflict of senti- ment Ill town which seems to preclude united action one of these roads the other and which will apparently result in money being spent on both. Thus will be presented the edfying spectacle of small town divided against itself and the citizens thereof working against each other for the sake of mistaken business principle. To man down well it would look as though the business people of this city should their and their money at the time We cannot see how road leading into any one portion of this city will work to the very material gain loss of any merchant The town is so small that block or either will hardly deter merchants customers from calling on him.
 The road commission having washed it's hands of our petty fight will bthely it's way spending money where it will do the most good but in short time it will road.
 As solution of the difficulty and to prevent any more of this expensive bucking would suggest fist the appointment of board of phrenoogs or an insanity commission to examine the heads of urbnsnpss people, We would then have board of arbitration or committee of to select either Willow or Ote, streets for the permanent route up to thelr present junction. upon which to spend money. We would then suggest that inc citizens of the whole forget that they have any object to attain but good road and that they subscribe their money and their support toward that end.

Couldn't BunCO Davy M0tfatt

The death of Dave Moffat calls to mind a story we heard about him in Denver ten years ago. The Denver papers will remember it in q day or two if we don't beat them to it. Prob ably they will anyhow - but in that case we shall be able to point the finger of scOrn.
 The late NIr. MoffAt went to Chicago. He was alone, and when he stepped from the Pullman into the crowd ou the platform, a sweet, fluffy young thing threw herself into his arms.
 "Oh, dad!" she cried with series Of ecsiatic hugs; "Oh, papa, dear, I'm 50 glad to-Oh"
 She perceived her error and bluahed painfully but gloriously "I-I beg your pardon" she stammered, "I--'' And she tried 10 escape into the throng where she could hide her confusion. But the gallant empire builder would have none of such. He still held her firmly in quasi-paterral embrace.
 I'm not your papa, it is true," he whispered tenderiy, "Dal I'm going to play that am for while. Don't try to get away from me my dear. Pm going to play papa to you untill the police cOme!'
 When the police came they restored Mr. Moffut's watch and diamond scarf pin to him and led the struggling broiler away.-CIcveland Plaindealer.

We have noticed OF late NUMBER
of unsatisfactory reports resulting
from the investigation of public in
stitutions, among which we're county
poor farms. We have county farm
in Fremont county and to it and its
management. we wish to call the at
tention of the citizens, thinking 1t may
be satisfaction to you to know how
the unfortunates are cared for who
come to this institution
In 1856 the county farm OF forty
acres was purchased. Mr.. Dudley
Wells was the first superintendent.
On June l. 1887 Mr.. w. C burning.
the present superintendent. was APP
pointed and has been in charge of
the county farm ever since. To follow
the growth of the county farm for the
past twenty-four years would take
time and space which we have not at
our disposal at this writing.
Suffice it to say that through good
and judicious management the forty
acres of raw land of twenty-four years
ago is today one OF the very best
farms In Fremont county.
Twenty-four years ago there was
one Inmate of the county farm To
DAY there are hfty-four. The aver
age is between forty-hve and fifty.
The institution is located three and
half miles east Of Canon City. The
main building is ssx7s 1t is sur
rounded by beautiful lawn. shade
trees, flowers and shrubbery- There
is sne orchard: also small fruits
OF al kinds. Patients of ali kinds
are received here 1t is not only the
lnfirm. the blind. the lame and the
halt who find a home here; but also
those who are temporarily afflicted
with sickness and who. by reason OF
the lack OF funds and friends. have
no place TO be cared for. Many forms
of contagious diseases have been re-
ceived here and be IL said to the ev-
that not one case of contagion has
ever occurred. which proves conclu-
siyely that the sanitary regulations
are first class in every respect. Tub
circular patients do not mingie with
those of the main building. They are
comfortably housed In tents put up
especially for them.
DIR. Hart Goodloe is the attending
physician. and while II is not our in
tention to throw boquets at this time.
We must say that we have never
known a physician to attend to his
duties in an Institution of this nature
with more promptness and efficiency

on to attend

George L. Curtis. faln'liaily known
about town as Whitley" was arrested
at Florence by Sheriff Esser about S
O'Clock Wednesday night on the charge
OF forgery and was brought back and
lodged in Jail pending an investiga-
ton of the matter by the district at
torney. Curtis has been employed in
various capacities in Canon City for
year or more; working successfully
as the Eclipse livery barn. Fred

ty-hve dollars on Kober a Clark at
Keables drug store. after which he
mysteriously disappeared. The affair
was reported TO the authorities and
they got busy" in an effort 10 To-
cate him before be could get out of

and Under Sheriff Henry l. White
procured an automobile and hurried

locked up In the county Jail.
I, deveiopes that Curtis penman-
ship ability developed Monday even

rested. Wednesday. however. he got
in some more good work in cashlng

but which in reality. were forgeries.
Whitley appeared clever enough in
his operations in that he worked on
tte checks where he was pretty well
Known. The first forged check he
oashed at Kcables and IL was dated
the sixteenth. The second check was
cashed a few minutes later at Hunter

a short time afterward. noticed Mr.
Kober and Mr.. Kesbie conversing to-

started for Florence. Up to that time
however he had made no effort to ef-
face himself and II seems that he
thought he would get out of II o. X.
Upon being searched fifty-four dol
lars were recovered. making the total
amount spent by Curtis in his short
career. eight dollars.
Curtis is about twenty-five years OF
