GROUND is
BROKEN FOR
ELECTRIC
RAILWAY

George II. Barbour. who is here
from New York representing by pow
er of attorney the interests OF Fred
erick B. Street, broke ground at
o'clock Thursday afternoon at the
northern limits of the city, beyond
Soda point, for the electric road to
the top of the Royal Gorge. The GER
emony took place in the presence CT
Mayor Frank P. Smith and represen-
tatives of the city council and the
business mems association. This lc-
ton was taken in connection with the
franchise granted to Mr. Street. and.
with the success that has attended
the efforts to complete the financing
OF the proposition. 1t looks now as Il
the road might be completed in the
near future.
This enterprise means SO much to
Canon City and its inhabitants in gen.
eral that II is to be sincerely hoped
the negotiations now under way viii
result in assuring the funds necessary
for its construction and complete
equipment for operation. 1t seems rs
If the time were ripe for the building
of an electric line from Canon City
10 the top Of the Royal Gorge to pro-
vide cheap. easy and expeditions
transportation to the constantly IN
creasing tourist travel which is ut
all times passing through this section.
The road. as contemplated, will en-
body the very best and latest ideas IN
railway equipment and construction.
and will aid greatly in extending the
fame OF the Royal Gorge and popu-
larizing it as one of the great scenic
attractions OF the country.

WOMEN's BANK MEgT3 2as sss
London Institution, Fun BY ard Fg
the One Sex, Has Proved
q Success.

The possibilities OF banking as q
career for women have been demon
strated by Farrow's Bank for Women,
which was inaugurated a couple OF
years ago in London, and which, man
aged entirely by women, proved so
successful that it was recently moved
to new and enlarged quarters.
The banks success, in the opinion
Of Mrs. Kate Reilly, the manager, is
largely due to the hearty support it
has received from women.
THE eagerness with which women
of all classes and from all parts Of
the empire took up the idea of an in
stitution devoted entirely to their
needs was in itself a proof that Far
rows novel departure was fulfilling
long-felt want" Mrs. Reilly said
Our bank gives women the priyi-
lege of consulting one OF their Own
sex about their business affairs.
"The business transacted here is
the same as that transacted by any
other joint stock bank, and the fact
that all our staff consists of women is
good evidence that one sex is not
more gifted than the other in accu'
racy and a head for figures.
"A feature of our establishment
here is a rendezvous room for our
clients, where they can meet their
friends and write letters"

Turkish women are said to have one
accomplishment in which they excel
the women Of all other nationalities.
They know how TO sit. Hester Don
aldson jenkins calls attention to the
TACT that the Turkish verb to sit is
used where occidentals would use to
live, or stay, or visit. TO the ques-
tion, Where are you living?" one
gets the reply, 81 am sitting in Stam-
boul" Or, to the question, Are you
married." the answer will be mo, 1
am sitting at home" And when they
sit they sit quietly, Gin the perfect
repose OF a sleeping cat" They don't
have to keep their hands busy They
crochet or knit. They Just sit.
