HEARD FROM IN IOWA

The whereabouts OF II. 8. Andrews.
secretary OF the Florence Business
Mems association. insurance agent
and extensive property owner. ia the
cause of much speculation and fears
are entertained by his acquaintances
that he does not intend to return. He
left here about ten days ago with his
little daughter, Gloria. He left her IN
Pueblo with Mr.. and Mrs. A. G..
Briggs. The Briggs received a letter
from him dated at Davenport. Iowa a
few days ago instructIng them to
adopt the little girl at once. which
they did.
1t is understood that the closing OF
the Florence State bank left his finan-
cial affairs in a hopeless condition
and this is thought to be the reason
for his disappearance. His local Of

What Association Has Done.

At the conclusion OF Rev. Fulker-
sons most interesting address the
toastmaster made a short talk on
what had been done by the Canon
City Business Mems association and
what IT hoped to accomplish in the
future. Among its achievements were
the securing OF the new Denver & Rio
Grande station. the building fthe
Skyline drive. the Tunnel roadway In
to the Royal Gorge. the highway to
the top of the grand canon of the Ar
kansas. the proposed new Santa Fe
railroad static nand numerous other
things.
Although the business mems asso-
citation was still great factor In
boosting the community II needed ad-
ditional members. said Mr.. Hardy.
and IL was decided TO reorganize It
SO as to give 1t increased power and
usefulness. To bring about the de-
sired end 1t was announced that
campaign would soon be inaugurated
to extend its membership. Two
teams. II was suggested. might ad-
vantageousiy be chosen TO make the
campaign and the one securing the
greatest number OF names be made

this is the best and most enthusiastic

but you must have something more
than a social gathering to accomplish
the end you have In view. You can
not create prosperity by declaration

Boosting Made California.
"The boosting spirit In California
has made the state tremendously
wealthy and attracted to II thousands
OF people from all parts OF the

have syndIcated their advantages and
are advertising the attractions and

In Madras. Bombay and Calcutta, In

There is hardly a town in Cali

thing like the resources Of Canon

of them here as they have done there.

out there that we cannot match in

water is promised.
Qualities of the inland sea doubt

The broad. shallow, mysterious body
of water contains % per cent salt,

human body on the surface without

Drowning is impossible. The only
pTecaution necessary for the veriest
novice at aquatics is to avoid swal-

comfortable. Wherefore, diving is

Water is within 80 feet of the
surface in every part of the tract,
and averages 20 to % feet. The
water is artesian throughout the
tract, rising to within a few feet
of the surface. The pumping lift
is thus greatly reduced, and the
water can be put on the land as
cheaply as in any pumping propO-
sition in the southwest.
The purchasing syndicate is CO.
operating with big Minneapolis col
oniZing company which has handled
many large colony propositions in
the west. Plans are being perfected
under which actual settlers may go
on the land and develop it, with
80 years to pay for it.; there will b.
no taxes to pay during that time,
and if a substantial first payment
be made there will be no interest
on deferred payments. Loans will
be made to the farmers to enable
them to equip and develop their
farms to best advantage.
Electric power will be furnished
to settlers for the pumps, much af-
ter the system so successfully used
at Portales. Demonstration farms
will be established by the company
