JOE M0RMAN'S
 MARROW ESCAPE

Joe Norman had narrow escape from death last week. He was prospecting on the Owl association, Flat creek, with John Holmgren , when the windlass at which the latter was working gave way and fell with the bucket to the bottom of the hole, John narrowly escap' ing following.
 Norman was at the bottom of the hole, and that he escaped is mir acle, due in a measure to the size of the hole, which was larger than usual, and only about 20 feet deep.
 MT. Hol,ngren was struck by the windlass while endeavoriug to grab tue bucket, sustaining all injury to his leg.

UNCLE SAM WANTS
APPLES PROPERLY NAMED

Portland. Ore, Oct. 1i.-Have you
ever eaten a Spitzenburg? Probably
many millions of people In the United
States and In foreign countries would
say they have. They never were more
mistaken In their lives. however. for
no less authority than the United States
government itself says In subst ,acs
that all these people have been dream
ing. They have been eating the ESQ
pus and all the praises that have been
given the spitzenburg belong to the
former.
The government has signified Its
Intention OF seeing that you will not
eat any more spitzenburgs hereafter
although the same authority has
already declared that you have never
eaten one. The old name that Is
known far and wide in trade circles
as the "spitz" will hereafter have
title and will sound something like
soap
Pure food officials signify that they
are not joking. however. and that
trouble may be In store for apple
shippers who persist in believing that
they are growing the Spitzenburg ap-
pie and continue to label their fruit
as such.
The reputation of the Pacific
Northwest as an apple grower has
been secured greatly by the fame that
has come from the shipment of tho
Spitzenburg-beg pardon. the Esopus
and the forcing OF the latter name
upon the labels will probably mean
the loss OF millions OF dollars to Pa
cifc Northwest apple growers.
The wrath OF the government is
called forth by a published booklet
issued by the North Pacific Distrib-
utors. which is said to contain many
names OF apples that are false.
Perhaps. II you have not eaten a
spitzenburg. you thought maybe that
some time or other an Oregon Red
had tickled your palate. You're
wrong again. for the government
says that what the Pacific North
west calls an Oregon Red is nothing
more or less than Baldwin. For

In every controversy there are two
sides, at least. In this coal strike
quarrel there are three sides, at
least.
First-not in order of imp 1rtance
but first in order of noise made III, 70
is the side of the striking miner. His
side might be further sub-divide into
two-representing the nonresident.
who agitates for a salary and who
draws big pay only while the strike is
on, and the resident coal miner who
does the work and gets pay only
when the strike Is on. There are
about 1900 coal miners in the state.
about half of whom are now ing ef-
fected by the strike.
Second-the operators who rei.'ly
think they are first in importance In
all matters whatsoever. or these
there are probably not to exceed 200
in the state.
Third-Then there is the side
represented by just the common peo-
pie who burn coal-the people who
do not dig coal and wLo do not own
coal mines. OF these there are about
SOC, 900 in the state of Colorado.
There is a bit Of heresy in this
suggestion. for all people are suppos-
ed to stand for the 200 operators or
for the 5000 coal miners. The miners
and operators both would have yoa
believe that there are only two sides 70
this question, their sides.
Neither the operator nor the striker
seems to give tinker's dam about The
sOo.O 900 common people who burn coal.
While people were getting coal at
normal prices they We're content to
let the operators with their army of
sluggers and the miners

tors fight out the issle between them

CANONITES
OVERWHELM
FLORENCE

A husky bunch OF Canon boys
swamped a likely bunch from Flor
ence Saturday on the high school grid
iron in the first football game OF the
season. The final score was 10 to o.
The first touchdown was made in
the first five minutes OF play by Half
back stegall for Canon City after 4
ten yard run around left end.
The Canon team outweighed the
Florence men about seven pounds to
the man. But they also outplayed
them in every particular OF the game.
The open style play was used almost
exclusively by both teams. the Canon
ties with Dolan and the Ragsdaie boys
as the stars excelling in the use of
the forward pass.
Dolan made the most spectacular
play OF the game when he picked up
tut jail Ou u iuiuDit ny QudIltEDdCh
Williams of Florence and ran fifty
yards for a touchdown.
Referee Craig. however. disallowed
the score, stating that the tumble was
in reality an incompleted forward
pass This happened in the second
quarter.
In the third quarter Park Ragsdale
was showed over the line for a touch
down on a play through center.
This made the score 1s to o. In the
fourth period Dolan again made a
spectacular run after completing n
forward pass for a touchdown. Goal
was not kicked. Final score 10 to 0.
At no time did Florence endanger
the Canon City goal.
