STEEL MEN MEET.
American Iron and Steel Institute
Convenes.

Pittsburg. Oct 2S.-The third general
meeting Of the American Iron and Steel
Institute convened this forenoon at the
Hotel Schenley. The opening session
was attended by masters Of the steel
trade from every part of the United
States.
Many of these men were on the Of
fcial programme, their addresses giving
promise of interesting technical discus
sions. The first name on the speakers
list was that Of Judge Elbert H. Gary,
chairman Of the United States Steel Cor
poration.
Judge Gary's address dealt almost ex-
clusively with generalities. He stated
that the United States was in the mid st
OF an unprecedented era Of prosperity
and laid its cause to the recovery Of the
general public and the great corpor atoms
from the bankers panic Of 1907. Judge
Gary touched very lightly on the inter-
national political situation.

.ELHANAA W. EMMERS0n
PASSED AWAY SUNDAY

Elhanan w. Emmerson died at the
family home, 425 Pike avenue, at 1870
O'Clock Sunday afternoon from the in
firmitives of age, superinduced by pa
ralysis, from which he had been af
fiicted for several years. Deceased was
born near Albion, Illinois, April 13.
1890. and had been a resident of Canon
City a little more than three years,
although he had thrice visited Colo
RADIO previous to coming here in Au-
gust 1908 TO make his home.
Mr.. Emmerson's parents we're Ken
tuckians and were among the first
white settlers in what is now Edwards
county. Illinois, their location there
taking place while Illinois was yet a
part of the Northwest territory. The
subject OF this sketch was born. AMI,
for more than sixty years, lived on the
farm which his father purchased from
the government and to which he held
title under a patent issued by Thomas
Jefferson. the third president of the
United States. On retiring from active
work, he removed to Albion and -e-
sided there until coming to this state
to spend his declining days near his
children. -sst-.
Mrs. Emmerson died here February
18th, 1911, and it is notable that her
husbands death should have occurred
within few hours of the anniversary
Of her demise.
The deceased was a man of the
utmost probity of character and no
higher praise can be paid to his mem-
ory than to say that he was honest,
generous and charitable in all OF his
dealings with his fellowmen. For more
than half century he was devoted
consistent member of the Christian
church, holding tepaciously to the tie l.
cts OF its faith and practice until Death
taid its relentless hand upon him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emmerson celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary III
this city April "a. 1906, in the pres
ence of an assemblage OF their chill
dren. grandchildren and friends,
which was socially, at least, the cli-
max Of their long and useful lives.
Four sons. W. W., Frank, John W.
and George, all residents of Canon
City. and eight grandchildren, besides
numerous other relatives and friends
are left to mourn his departure. The
funeral will take place from the First
Christian church on North Seventh
street at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
with Rev. o. S. Reed conducting the
obsequies. Interment will be in the
family burial plot In Lakeside ceme-

The Canon City Variety
Of Colorado Weather

Nowhere else in Colorado do people
appear to be more interested in
weather conditions than in Canon
City. 1t may be because nowhere else
do they better understand its various
moods and notifications. Then 1t may
be because of a certain well-estab-
lished idea, gathered at first hand.
that our climatic situation is several
degrees milder and more constant
than in any other part of the stare.
And in view of all this it is very
pleasing to know, as well as satisfy
ing to the great number of our es-
teemed weather prophets. that this
notion of more favorable conditions
for Canon is borne out by the official
publications of the United States
weather bureau.
The climatic conditions of Canon
City have been we'll stated, both IN
their general and local particulars. IN
report, edited by P. c. Day, chief In
charge of the publication division Of
the weather bureau. In it certain con-
clusions are drawn from observations
extending over period of twenty
three years. 1t is shown that Colorado
as a whole has a remarkably varied
climate, owing to its high attitudes
and low sloping plains. The diverg-
ence of its temperatures are as wide
as are to be found on going from
Florida to iceland. But the plains re-
gion, to which Canon belongs, has 4
climate rather uniform throughout its
are: A low relative humidity, aver
aging about so per cent; light rain
| fall. confined largely to the warmer
half of the year; a moderately high
| wind movement. whose velocity is
least near the foot of the mountains;
| wide daily range of temperature,
which results in comfortably cool
nights at the mile-high attitudes. in
summer; and then the mild winters
with little snow and few protractsd
cold spells.
While these are the general condi-
tions for the plains region OF Colorado
they apply to the Canon region in Al
much milder degree. The reasons for
this are quite well known, but they
would be rather too technical for an
article which only pretends to give
bare climatic facts. But the relative
humidity OF Canon is slightly lower
than that of Pueblo. and the total
amount OF possible sunshine for p
year is perceptlbly greater And
though no official record has been
kept of our wind velocity, It is but
reasonable to suppose, since in the
entire region the wind movement is
least at the foot of the mountains. that
Canon surely gets the greatest benefit
Of their protection. The proof of that
condition is seen in the fact that
while Pueblo has wind velocity of
7.3 miles an hour, Dodge City, Kansa
farther east, has a velocity OF IL 5
miles. Our annual rainfall is abol.
