ribute to Lyman Robson
~ I'll BY B. F. ROCKAFELLOWs

Lyman Robson during his younger
days was actively engaged, in mercan-
tile pursuits which he dropped when
his country needed defenders. He SER
yed faithfully and with honor during
the Civil war until the preservation Of
the Union was assured when he re-
turned TO the avocations of peace to
Toledo. Ohio. Finally his pioneer
spirit was aroused by reports of the
discovery OF sand carbonate ore rich
in silver at Leadvills. to which place
he went in 1879. In 1850 he and mis-
friend, Mr. Charles Stebins. discov-
cred the Colonel Sells silver and lead
mine, one OF the great producers OF
that world renowned camp. Later as

Robson being the last OF that reso-
lutte band, who had to contend against
claim jumpers and all the difficulties
in way of opening pa large mine in
those early days. He displayed sound
judgment, and wonderful nerve, in
this and his subsequent mining oper-
atoms In 1854 he made visit to this
locality on business, and as he after
wards often related was attracted
here by seeing children with their
parents rolicking and tumbiing about
on their lawns. which coming from =
mining camp was a fascinating sight
to him. That autumn he and Mrs.
Robson. with their only surviving
child. David, came to Canon and were
guests at the Mcclure House. (now
Strathmore) for about year. The fol-
lowing spring he bought the hnc four
acre orson Stanley property in South
Canon on which they soon after erect

dence OF today. Nothing daunted by

ICE and SNOW CLOSES
ROAD FOR THE WINTER

Gunnison, Jan. 9.-Ever, since the
Floresta line OF the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad was built some years
ago. leading to the anthracite mines
IL miles west OF Crested Butte, It has
been known as the hardest SNOW pro-
position on the entire system.
Usually the line closes entirely
about December / and remains closed
until sometime in May. when from
twenty to thirty feet of snow must be
thrown off the right of way by rosa-
ries.
Last Friday Superintendent Ten
Eyck. of the third division, gathered
crew OF snow fighters together for
the purpose of keeping the line open
long enough to bring out the miners
and their household goods, as we'll n
to bring out the last OF the loaded
coal cars. While there had been 1ess
than three feet of snow. considerable
ice had formed on the track and in
two successive days engines slipped
from the rails and turned over on
their sides. Engineer C. B. Meyers OF
Delta. was at the throttle in both in
stances. He escaped without
scratch. The second day he climbed
out OF the cab after everybody had
given him up for dead.
1t has required as long as six
weeks to open up this line when the
spring thaws begin and one year by
actual measurement there was thirty
two feet of snow on the track, re-
quiring shoveiers above the rotary to
open places through which the snow
could be shot from the rotary blow

IAN NiINTERESTIhG LETTER !:
FROM HONOLULU, H. |.

On December 14th our flagship, the
U. s. s. California, entered Pearl har-
bor, and, being the first war ship to
cross the bar into that body Of water.
ON account of Its not having been
dredged before. the people of these

with enthusiasm. Every steam whistle
In fact, everything available that
would make a noise was turned loose
as full capacity. Every band on the
islands was. following the California

knew.
They had red. white and blue rib
bon stretched across the channel at
the entrance to the harbor and as the
bow of the California broke It lot
OF fireworks on land was exploded
and a louder noise than before, IL
possible. was heard. 1t was laughab1e
to see an old freight train putting up
the track trying to be as near lhe
landing as 1t could get, but the engi-
1eer seeing that he could not get
there in time stopped the train and
eut the locomotive loose which sure
made up for the delay and its whistle
was among the loudest of the bunch.
s When we anchored and our gang
plank was thrown ashore all OF the
important personages OF Honolulu
boarded our vessel and welcomed us
IN speech. as well as In noisy demon
stration. After the greetings were ov-
er several of US obtained leave OF ab-

for about Eve or ten minutes and then
rests about half an hour and then
rains again. or rather drizzles. We
didn't mind the rain in the least and
had fine trip and had the fun OF
knocking coeoanuts off the trees and
ne swiped some pineapples. which

We also got bunch OF green ba-

PLAN CREAMERY
FOR WEST SIDE
Ranch Owners Of La Mesa
and San Miguel Districts
Agitating Movement.

A creamery for the west side Of the
river above Fl PasO is now being pro-
1ected by the enterprising ranch own
ers Of the La Mesa and San Miguel
districts of the valley. The valleyites
are talking OF organizing a stock COM
pany composed Of from 80 to 40 men to
finance the proposed creamery. which
will cost from $500 to $4,000. The
plan is to have the creamery building
located at a convenient place on the
railroad where the farmers can bring
lower MesiIla valley. 1t is the inten-
ton to make the creamery a cooper
alive affair and have it managed by a
stockhOlder in the company. To supply
the necessary dairy products 200 cows
viii have to be brought into the upper
valley by the rancherS and this is
part Of the present project.

Thursday to interest Fl PasO property
owners IN the upper valley in the pro-
jet We need some product that viii

says AS 1t is, the hay and fruit crops
bring in money but twice each year,
and it is necessary for the ranchers to
banks By having a creamery. where
a daily profit could be realized. it
would be possible for the ranchers to
90 their own financing The plan IS
to have the rancherS separate the
cream from the milk at their ranches
thus giving them a byprOduct in the
skim milk for their pigs. The cream
could then be collected in the district
and hauled to the creamery, where it
could be prepared for the 81 Paso and

RECORD BREAKING.
PLAN AT ~MOTORDROME

Record breaking will be a feature
at the local Stadium Motordrdme to-
morrow afternoon. Eddie Hasha.
known worldwide as one of the most
daring lads on the .'choo-choos' to-
day. will make an effort to establish
new marks at one, W and three
miles. The eastern record for the
mile is 3s 2-5 seconds, held by Hasha
and made at the local track two
weeks ago.
His one ambition is to better this
mark by at. least a second, and fur
thermore, to hang up new ones for
two and three miles. AS to his con-
dition, Eddie says he was never
in better shape. I'm as fit as my
machine, and nothing can stop me
That's enough to indicate that al
least one old standing mark will sc
by the boards.
! The longest grind yet attempted
at the Newark Stadium win take
place tomorrow. when an eight-mile
free-for-all event will take place,
To enter such an event n must
surely have the nerve. Never before
have local fans been given such 9
lengthy race. and from present indi-
cations the event should furnish
much excitement. AS both class A
and B men are eligible, 2 vast field
of contestants will start. Ray Peek
says he's going to win tomorrow and
