From the reports received from all
the trout streams in the state it is
evident that August will be the big
month this year for fishing. Many of
the streams are reported too high yet
for good fishing. By the end of July
the big snow banks will have yielded
in large measure to the heat from
old Sol and the streams will begin to
recede. The month of August should
be the big tourist month in Colo
RADIO and around the circle should be
one of the most inviting trips in the

NEXT YEAR PROMISES TO BE
A REAL HUMMER FOR COST.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The price
of clothes will be advanced next year.
This increase is shown in the high
cost of living and indicated clearly,
merchants say, by prices named by
leading producers of cloth who have
lifted prices for the spring of 1913
season from 1-2 to 20 cents yard
above those which prevailed the last
spring season.
The most important element that
brought about the advance is the do
mestic wool clip which this year is
about 30,000,OOO pounds smaller than
a year ago. The price of wool has
also gone up abroad. Mill owners say
the high scale of wages and shorter
working hours also will have their
effect.
CHICAGO, July 19-Shoes of all
grades are to be raised in price, ac-
cording to Chicago dealers. The auto

Fine shoes which have been purchased
for So will cost next fall Sc, and the
advance in all lines will be similar;
about 20 per cent.
"Since Jan 1, 1905" said one dealer,
"the price Of leather has increased ~
per cent
The principal cause for the advance
is the popularity of the automobile.
1t is not generally known how many
hides of leather are used daily in the
manufacture of automobiles but it is
enormous.

Little Child of MT. and Mrs. $. N. Poland Drowned In a Lateral North of the City Early Yesterday Morning

There has been another victim of the the two year old baby of MT and Mrs l.. N. Poland living on the Black Can yon roa1 was drowned early yester- day morning in a lateral running near the house.
 While Mrs. Poland was engaged in preparing breakfast, the little girl wandered from the house When her mother missed her she went into the yard anu called in vain. Suspecting that the child had fallen into the lat eral Mrs. Poland followed it for two miles until she came to the body which had lodged against an obstruction. The child seemed to gasp and a gurg- ling sound was heard which filled the mother with hope. She carried the body to the house of J. l. Morgan near by and efforts at resuscitation were made
 In the meantime a telephone mess age was sent to pr Grant Monical who was there in a few minutes but by that time the child was beyond restoration. It was probably dead when it was talk cn from the ditch.
 The doctor notified Coroner John stone but it was thought that in the we'll known circumstances of the trag- edy an inquest was unnecessary.
 A message was sent to Mir. Poland who is employed at Bisbee.
