An APPRECIATED
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

At the suggestion CT Warden lyman
and under his direction the work cf
widening. leveiing and otherwise i'm
proving the public highway from Soda
Point along the west side OF the Hog
back TO the northern limits OF the city
il being carried out by a gang Of
prisoners from the penitentiary. Real
izing the importance Of converting
that portion OF the road into a wide.
smooth driveway the warden took the
matter OF its construction up on his
own initiative and offered to do the
work with convict labor, provided the
city council would supply the neces-
sary powder TO do such blasting as
might be required to widen the road
where the rock jutted out from the
hillside close to Sand creek. The pro-
position was accepted by the council
and the warden with Characteristic n
ergy Immediately entered upon the IN
dertaklng. That the work viii be done
in a first-class manner is not doubted
by those familiar with the warden's
skill and experience as a highway
builder.
Beginning at the northern limits of
the city and extending on up past
Three Mile spring and beyond the
county commissioners put the road IN
excellent condition a couple of years
ago and have kept 1t so ever since
The city. on the other hand. has sad
iy neglected its portion OF the road
and from Soda point to where the
county road begins II is narrow.
crooked and disgraceful- II is this
section that the warden proposes TO
rebuild and his spiritedness
and enterprise in taking the matter up
will receive general praise and COM
mendation
There is no highway about Canon
City that Is travelled more than the
Fairplay road from Soda point on -
to the northern entrance to the Sky
line drive and none should be kept
in better condition for the general
convenience. II you have not been
down that way during the last few
months you may have forgotten what
difference there is in the width and
smoothness of the roadway through
the city and the county road beyond il
The advantage s all In favor Of ths
county and the disparity Is SO great
as TO make n comparison odIous.
The penitenuary gardens. terraeed
on the hillside along Sand creek. are
well worthy OF your attention as you

Meat I'm Throat Causes Death Z
80 Small Child.

Small Child.
Gah'ney, Oct. 20.-Emma Hughes,
the 4-year-old daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. John Hughes, choked to death
Sunday night about 9 O'Clock, pre-
sumably on piece Of meat. The little
girl had been sick throughout the day,
but 1t was not known what the trou-
BILE was. When the family retired she
was given dose Of castor oil, but at
3 o'clock the family was awakened
by her cries and it was found that
she was rapidly choking to death. A
physician was summoned and the
meat extracted, but not before life
was extinct. Members Of the family
say that the child had had no meat
since breakfast and 1t is therefore
presumed that the meat had been in
her throat since morning.
The physician who removed the
meat stated that there was no evil
dence Of digestion having set in,
proving conclusively that the sub
stance could not have been in the
child's stomach throughout the day.
