FROST DANGER HOW UNLIKELY


The frost expected and predicted by
the weather bureau for Wednesday
night, fortunately, did not occur and
Forecaster Daingerneld, of Pueblo,
stated on Thursday. that the danger

predicted for tonight and tomorrow

The thermometer Wednesday night
from Grand Junction to the east line

no danger TO Colorado's promising
fruit crop.
The average date OF the last killing
frost is April %. With the present
warm weather prevailing II is not be-
lieved the state will be visited by
killing frost this season. Pioneer
fruit growers say that 1t is very sell

CANON CITY PEOplE
AFTER BETTER RATES

Fruit growers and shippers of the
Canon City district have long been
dissatisfied with the railroad freight
charges they we're compelled to pay
to Missouri river and Mississippi val
ley points, and, in view of the SPLEEN
did prospect for a record breaking
crop this year, have begun an agita-
tion for a more favorable rate.
A preliminary meeting between rep
resentatives of the Denver G Rio
Grande and the Santa Fe Railroad
companies and some of the more
prominent shippers was held here
Wednesday afternoon and the way
paved for re-adjustment of the ex-
listing freight schedules. Among the
railroad men present at the confe--
ence was W. 0. Skinner. of Pueblo,
general agent of the Santa Fe for
this territory, who expressed himself
as being favorable to a revision of
the rates as applied to Canon City.
Another meeting will take place
here some time next week that will
be attended by J. D. Kenworthy, cf
Pueblo. assistant general freight ag-
ent of the Denver & Rio Grande for
southern Colorado, at which time it
is expected that an agreement will
be reached in the matter.
The people OF Canon City are ask
ing for the same rate which applies
to Rocky Ford and Manzinola, which
is fifteen cents hundred cheaper to
Mississippi valley points and twelve
to thirteen cents hundred cheaper
to Missouri river markets than the
one in operation here. Local shin
pers have no complaint to make in
relation to the freight charges to Tex
as points, which, for several years
past have taken large share OF our
orchard produce. What Canon City
shippers want is lowering OF the
freight rates fifteen cents hundred
to Chicago, st. Paul, Milwaukee and
New Orleans; thirteen cents a humid
red to Kansas City, Omaha and St
Joe and twelve cents a hundred TO the
interior towns in Kansas and Ne'-
raska.

vocates, automobile clubs and com
mercial organizations of all kinds
have been invited to be the guests of
the people of Canon City on dedica-
tion day.
Excursions will be run by the var
ious railroads entering Canon City

or FIVE hundred automobiles from Dem
yer. Colorado Springs, Pueblo and
other points in this state, as well AZ
from Kansas, Nebraska and New Mex
leo, will make a gathering, the like
of which has never before assembled
in the upper Arkansas valley. The
real significance to the public of the
superb highway to the top of the Roy
al Gorge, about to be thrown open to
travel, is. perhaps. not as generally
understood as it should be. The Roy
al Gorge is one of the scenic attract
ions of the Rock Mountains and should
be ranked with Niagara Falls, Yosem-
ite valley. the Yellowstone National
park and the Grand Canon of Arizonl
as one OF the wonders of the contin-
ent-. Millions OF people have passed
through IL on the train, but compara-
lively few have seen IL from the top
for the reason that until lately M
highway was available for that pur-
pose. The slogan of the people Of
Fremont county now is, "On to the
Royal Gorge; See 1t From the Top"
