ference committee after a considerable
deadlock yielded to the senate.
The senate also free listed slabs,
blooms, loops and other products of
iron more advanced than pig iron,
which the house had made dutiable at
8 per cent. The conference agreed to
this. The senate cut the duty on round
iron or steel wire from 20 per cent in
the house bill to Is per cent, and the
conference accepted the senate reduc-
ton.
Agricultural Schedule.
The conference committee agreed to
the senate amendment, which struck
out the 10 per cent duty on cattle pro-
vided by the house bill and the 10 per
cent rate on sheep and transferring
both to the free list. The conference
committee also put wheat on the free
list, where the senate had placed it,
by striking out a duty of 10 cents a
bushel provided by the house bill.
The house won a victory in the duty
on lemons and other citrus fruit when
the conference committee restored the
classification based on the cubic feet
of the containers in which such prod
ucts are imported, which results in
slight decrease of the duty.
The senate also lost in the struggle
over a proposed duty on bananas when
the conference committee struck out
the senate rate and restored bananas
to the free list of the house bill.
Wooden Schedule.
Very few changes were made in the
wooden schedule The senate was sus-
tanned by the conference committee in
it's amendments fixing the dates when
wool duties shall go into effect. Com
promises were made by the conference
committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops will bear
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty
of Is per cent.
The senate sought to reduce the duty
on wooden blankets and to free list
blankets valued at not more than 40
cents pound, but the conference COM
mittee rejected the amendment, and
all blankets will bear duty at % per
cent ad valorem. The house rates of
so per cent ad valorem on carpets and
rugs were adopted by the conference.
A compromise was reached on the
paragraphs relating to angora goat
hair, alpaca, by which the hair will
pay a duty of 10 per cent; tops from
such hair, % per cent, and pushes, vel
vet and other fabrics. 45 per cent.
Sundries.
The conference committee adopted
the action of the senate, placing full
inmates and gunpowder on the free
list There was a compromise on the
paragraph relating to furs, but general
ly the house rates were restored.
The senate rates prevailed as to lace
curtains and laces and the house won
by having restored the paragraph in
the house bill covering chamois skins
and glove feathers, by which the for
mer were made dutiable at 10 per cent,
and the latter at 10 per cent There
was compromise on the glove SEIZED
ule between senate and house rates
and the senate's action in free listing
harness, saddles and saddlery parts
was approved by the conference COM
mittee, although the house bill had
made them dutiable at 20 per cent.
The only substantial victory won by
the house in the free list was as to
free art.
Here are rates of the new tariff CON-
pared with the Payne-Aldrich law:

THE ROYAL GORGE

About six a. m. Thursday. Alice
White and guests. Mary and Dora

with the intention of seeing the Hang
ing bridge. Reaching the bridge at
a. m. and being SO delighted with
the wonderful scenery. they decided to
find the trail leading to the top
which leaves the track a short dist
ance above the bridge. This they
missed Taking a misleading trail
they lost themselves In the hills. But
after climbing over two mountains
they finally reached the top at noon.
Expecting to take the Steamer back
to town they waited for II but 1t never
came. Dreading the long climb down
the track again they decided to take
the road. trusting to be picked up by
some passerby-
Being informed OF short cut they

side. Finally a buggy appeared and
the girls anxiously implored to be
taken in to town. offering to pawn
their watches for a ride.
But they we're informed that they
were nine miles from Canon and as
it was getting late. they had better
~jog along" The advice was good but
not comforting.
Footsore and weary they walked at
times in their stocking feet and were
finally picked up by a modern samari-
tan In an automobile few miles out
from Canon City.
Altogether the girls walked thirty
one miles and feel they have seen the
Gorge from the top to bottom.

ever with the exception OF the small
admission fee OF ten cents during the

quilted by jury in a trial in Justice
J. R. Kennedy's court Friday after
noon of the charge OF disturbing the
peace, for which he was arrested and
locked up Thursday evening at the
result Of an information filed with
the district attorney by John 8. Tag
gart. The defendant. who is young
man about nineteen or twenty years
of age. is licensed chauffeur in the
employ Of garage In Denver and
came here on Thursday as the driver
of winton car, having with him as
passengers Mr.. and MIRA. Taggart and
A. G. Robinson and brother.
Taggart is general manager OF the
Central Detective agency in Denver
and hired curncs to take him and his
party to Len Gardner's ranch on
Tallahassee creek. thirty miles north
west of here. and back to Denver for
twenty-five dollars. Because OF the
breakage OF his machine Curnow was
unable to make the run to the ranch
from Canon City and Taggart and his
associates hired an auto at Joe Mey-
ers garage to complete the journey.
eurnow's failure to carry out his
contract TO take the bunch to the
ranch and back resulted in n quarrel
in front OF J. J. Armstrong; garage

which ''cuss" words were freely used
by both sides Taggart. It is alleged.
refused to pay curnow for his serv-
Ices in bringing the party here from

putty District Attorney Z. II. Slime

was a 10Y ride and that q 'conspira-
cy existed between Tagsart and his
associates to defraud Curnow out of
his pay for bringing them here by
quarreIins with him and having him
locked up on some pretext or anota-

SIXTY MILES
OF bitches
IN THE CITY

Cnhfhe fduSetl says tnat lou
Parker. street commissioner. has es-
timated that there are sixty miles of
irrigating bitches in Canon City alone.
This of course refers to the street
bitches that run along the curb on
each side of the street in each block
in the city.
Sixty miles OF bitches is enough to
reach to Colorado Springs in a
straight line with eight miles to spare.
1t will just about reach to Salida,
straight as the crow flies. and we
could spread them out in the direc-
tion of Pueblo and run them twenty
miles further down the valley. II wa
ter could run up hill they could be
showed in the direction OF Cripple
Creek and still leave thirty miles to
be used in the arid region to the east
OF us.
II takes a good sized street force ali
the year around keeping these bitches
in condition. On an average of GOO
loads of dirt, refuse, and weeds are
taken from these laterals annually
This silt and dirt is used to fill up
the various streets that need It and
many people buy 1t to fill in low yards
and with which to make gardens. II
is the finest variety OF soil, rich and
loamy and invaluable to truck gard
eners and others.
AZ present most of the refuse Is
dumped on lower Tenth street where
a big all Is being made. At least one
hundred loads have been dumped
there this year.
The irrigating bitches are not used
as extensively in these days rs In the
past because OF the up-to-date water
system which Canon City now pos
sesses. Most everyone uses a hose to
trrigate their lawns these days be-
cause the water pressure is excellent
and the water supply Is ample.
In other days before the construc-
tion OF the new water system many
people used the water from the bitches
with which to irrigate their lawns.
That practice was almost abandoned
three or four years ago by the great
majority because the hose proved the
easier way. Still many use the ditch
method Of getting water on their gar
dens.
The water from the bitches Is given
practically free to the residents OF the
city. The city owns a good share OF
the stock of The Canon City Hydraulic
and Irrigating Ditch Company's stock
and il is because OF this ownership
that the water is used.
This ditch company owns the ditch
which comes through the entrance Of
the Royal Gorge on this side of the
river. runs along Canal Street.
through the penitentiary grounds and
out through the north end of the city
and back to the river in East Canon.
The water is taken from this large
ditch into the laterals and thus to
various parts of town. The canal was
constructed many years ago. long be-
fore much OF the present city was
plated and this accounts for the fact
that many lots are chopped in two by
the course OF the ditch.
