A new DEPOT

1t is stated from reliable source that
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad Will build a new depot in Can
on City at an approximate cost Of

after the first OF the year.
A prominent Canon City man who
made a recent trip over the Santa Fe
was in conversation with a Santa re
official whose word is authority and
the Santa Fe man stated that the road
had positively decided to build a depot
here. The plans have all been drawn
up and specifications are now ready.
IL Is not known whether the build
Ing will be built on the present site
but opinion here is that a t55.oOo
structure ought to be built in a more
desirable location and this perhaps
will be done. II is thought that the
terminal station will be located some
where in the locality OF Seventh or
Ninth streets where a depot would -
more convenient than the spot where
the present depot now stands.
The Santa Fe are already building
a depot at Fowler and also one II
Manzalo and these viii be about the
extent of the improvements In huill-
Ings TO be done by the road this year.
Canon City Is first on the list for tie
opening Of the next season and the
new depot will probably be ready to BE-
used sometime in March or April

ington's pet bull calf is out bawing
again. This seems to be the hardest
calf to wean that | ever saw. Ii
has now been more than eight
months since we first took him away
from his nanny and still he bawls.
He don't seem to have AS much
sense as the average calf. Most
calves you can wean in three to four
weeks. This one seems to have
some disease, possibly the mango or
the Spanish itch, that causes him to
bawl so loud and persistently. Just

stand by and see the old gal MIXED

and insists on just hammering hell
