COLORADO CLIMATE
BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA

(. c. Hiatt. who came home recent
ly from southern California. where
he spent the greater part OF the sum
mer In an effort TO rid himself OF an
attack of asthma and hay fever, says
he feels better since his return to
Colorado than he did at any time dur
ing his stay on the coast. Mr.. Hiatt,
who was at Los Angeles. San Diego.
San Barnedino. Pomona. in fact. at all
of the more important towns in the
southern part OF the state. says that
he Is very we'll satisfied with Canon
City after visiting that section OF the
country. There Is lots OF business
and enterprise out there according 10
Mr. Hiatt. but il very largely depends
on the tourist travel and the number
OF wealthy people that can be induced
to establish their homes there. Mr..
Hiatt says the citizens of southern
California are the greatest boosters
in the world and that they can give
coioradoans clubs and spades and

done for the purpose OF frightening
any strike-breakers that might at
tempt to work the property pending a
settlement OF the existing trouble be-
tween the opeators and the miners. or
was n joke by some waggish individ-
ual cannot be ascertained. Manager
E. G. Bettis OF the mine and Sheriff
w. II. Newcomb hurried to the scene
OF the explosion. but were unable to
find any trace OF those responsible
for II. The dynamite was fastened
in the top OF a tree four or 1--WE hun
dred yards from the mine in order
that the explosion might be heard at
a greater distance than would other
wise be the case. The shock was dis
tinctly heard in Canon Cry. but no
especial importance was attached to
il at the time.
Seventy-fve guards were sent to
the Victor American Fuel company's
mine at Chandler Creek on Sunday to
guard any strike-breakers that were
willing to go to work there. 1t is re-
ported that between twenty-five and
thirty men are employed in the chand-
Ter mine today and that the operators
vii guarantee protection to all who
desire to go TO work there. A large
number of the guards employed to
assist in protecting the miners at
Chandler were in Canon City Sunday

But in the railroad business the requirements are different Efficiency, experience and breadth of view are essential to the public safety.

He retires to hon. orable ease after nearlf half a cen turv's service. bearing the affection of all who know him and the re spect of all who kno" him.
 Those who have heard Mr. Me Crea attempt to make a public speech will remember the experience with an amusement and affection which do him honor. He can steer 1O-car train round the Horse Shoe curve. with half thousand human lives behind him, and never. lose hls nickel-steel nerve. When he speaks in public he goes into the ditch at the first crossover, and he is not So- ing at any dangerous speed. either And we like him all the better for 1 it.
