LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Washington Gas and Washington Rail
way and Electric common again were
active at today's meeting OF the stock
exchange, and in both instances the adj
vanced levels OF yesterday were left be-
hind and still higher points were gained
Inc Railway common stock. which yes
terday sold as high as S3A, although the
bid rose to 3d. started off today at S4A
and ran up rapidl.-, the stock being taken
as fast as offered until S61s was reached.

lot of twenty-five shares was taken at
S6a.
The high figure in Gas stock yesterday
was St1t, and today the selling began at
SIS, and stopped at IS, with the record
showing sales of 40 shares
The broker who has been actively
identified with all of the recent trading
in Georgetown Gas varied his bid today
by bidding 13S not merely for a quota
ton lot of twenty-five shares, but for
specific lots. which he enumerated as be-
ing five. ten, seventeen, twenty-five and
ffty-six shares. The inference was drawn
by some, that in this list was included all
the stock which now is held by individuals
outside the majority and the minority
interests of the company. The only Of
fering of the stock was one block of
twenty-five shares at 1872.

Heavy Selling Wipes Out Gains.

Heavy selling just before noon wiped
out practically all early gains. with
Union Pacific point under yesterdays
close.
- The movement had it's inception in re-
ports that hitch had come i'm the nego-
tiatfons between the railway managers
and the locomotive engineers. but of this
there was no official confirmation. The
previous rise in New York Central was
accompanied by reports of new financing
with stock rights, but more likely 1t was
based on the roads excellent earnings.
The sensational feature of the morning
was furnished by the curb. where old
Marconi Wireless shares sold UP to 22J.
an overnight rise of ID points and a gain
in less than a weeks time of more than
10 points. Before noon the stock re-
ceded to 20s. Bonds were irregular.
Prices went down further after mid
day before the selling movement ex-
hausted itself. No effort was made TO
force a rally. and trading became slug
gish around the low figures.
Dealings We're nominal in the after
noon with few changes of note, aside
from increased activity in the minor steel
shares. Bethlehem Steel common and pre-
ferred made further upward progress, but
elsewhere fluctuations were exceedingly
nervous.

Blu, ii doesn't sell We all know.
WAY:
Chiefly because no systematic ef-
fort is being made to sell it No one
is making 1t his business to bring IN
settlers and sell this undeveloped
land.
Other sections of the state far less
desirable are being sold and settlei
up.
Talmedge Bros. brought train loads
of people to Colorado last season and
settled many acres of land
The Paul Land Co. is doing the
same thing this. year. Both firms
brought their prospective buyers to
Canon City to show them what Canon
City lands can be made TO do and then
took them away and sold them othe-
lands not so desirable or so well To-
Gated.
This merely shows that the thing
can be done. That people are buying
undeveloped lands in Colorado where
the effort Is made.
We need some Of this sort OF enter
prise right here IN Canon City. We
need to 20 out after the homeseeker
and settle him on some of our raeant
land.
And there Is big opportunity
right here for the man who can do
this sort OF business.
It's up TO the Business Mems Asso-
citation TO take up this feature of our
needs and see II such man or men
cannot be found Or ~ some scheme
cannot be worked up to settle up onr

In some ways Canon City has been
more enterprIsing and more pros
porous than any OF the small cities Of
the state.
For three years the Business Mems
Association has been most active and
has done some real productive work.
For three years. including the pres
ent season about 5000 each year has
been raised and spent to very excel
lent advantage.
The Tourist Campaign has been
fully justified by results. especially
last year. and the present season
promises TO be good one.
Each year good list of new resi-
dents have been added to the town.
through the Efforts of the Association.
But there is weak point in all this
work.
We are not settling the vacant
lands.
The new people who have come
have usually purchased the home Of
some family that has moved away.
When we gain new family We lose
an old one. So that with all our work
we are not building up the community
I'VE are not adding to our popula-
tion. ,.r
Now to get real results in Town
Building we must get new settlers on
our vacant lands. We must get people
who will build homes and cultivate
the soil.
There are In the immediate vicinity
of Canon City at least two thousand
acres OF vacant land that Is under
