Only two per cent OF this company's
business comes from Canon City and
Fremont county. The big portion
comes from California. Nevada. Utah.
Texas. New Mexico. Arizona, Old Mex
leo and some parts Of Colorado. In
Arizona the Diamond comes in strong
competition with Indiana brick. IN
most OF the other states they compete
with St Louis brIes- The freight

These men are paid higher wages
than is the case in other brick plants
and what is more, they get their mon
ey twice a month. In the state a move
ment has taken form to have the
large Institutions employing large
numbers OF men to pay their employees
twice month. The Diamond Fi-e
Brick company took the initiative in
this regard about two year ago. The
Diamond people. since their opening.
have never missed pay day.
All OF the money paid out or qf
least the major portion OF 1t stays in
Fremont county. All OF the supplies.
such as coal, silica. etc. are purchas-
ed in Fremont county. About the only
money sent out is that which goes %

year it is expected that 800 cars win
be loaded The average value OF such
car is $500. although the highest val

These carloads often have % or 20

and # is not unusual for the freight

There perhaps is not another insiI-
tuition in Canon City that brings as
much outside money into the town ~

of the plant can be and are obtained
within the confines of the county.
Nearly all OF the product is purchased
in the southwest and that money g
brought in and left here.

have specialized in this particular
field. 1t is true. however, that some
OF their brick has been used for build

fact that the product OF the Diamond
people was used In the construction
of a portion of the d. & n. G. depot.

building OF the new Y. NJ C. A..
The brick used for these purposes
has a pretty appearance and being Il
a hard surface is naturally an excel

This company makes 1900 differ
ent shapes and the bricks weigh from
3 to 500 pounds each. An average %
seventy men are kept busy every day
in the year making the different va
rieties OF brick. These men receive
a monthly pay roll of $1,000. This
month so men are being employed and
throughout the rest OF the year this
number will be maintained because it
will be necessary in order to meet the
demand OF the orders already in hand.
This addition will boost the pay roll
to $500 a month.

The Brinkley Merchants
 Chance Just Now

With the advent of the open saloons in dear old Brinkley" it is safe to figure that this year $50, GOO to S70, 900 of money that has heretofore gone into the Brinkley stores for merchandise, groceries, etc., will be diverted into a different direction, and now it is up to the Brinkley merchants to get busy and make up that deficit by taking advant- age of the new parcel post and the opportunity it presents to them. A Brinkley merchant can send out by rural route a 10lb package for only IA cents while it costs the Chicago mail order house 91 cents. Already the city mail order houses are beginning to figure with the country news papers and when once they get started it is going to break in on home merchants rather hard, so so let the home merchants get a move on them and take care of their own trade thus making up for deficits in trade that is sure to follow.

DECOMPOSED BODY
IS That OF STEELE
And the Other May Be That
of Mrs. Forrest, Pronli-
aent Society Woman.
tar A.roc,ATso eaGssl

IRoNToN, o., June 10-The
identity of the man whose dead body
was found last night alongside that
of fashionab1y dressed woman near
Russell, KY, was established this
morning when George Steele recog-
nized it as that of his father, George
Steele, of this county. This has led.
the authorities to believe that the
body of the woman is that of Mrs.
Andrew Forest, of Lagrange, o.. as
she was last seen with Steele cross
ing to the Kentucky shore Decem-
Der IA last.
The manner in which tie couple
came to their death. continues to be
a mystery. Both bodies were decom-
posed to such an extent that it was
estimated that they had been with
out life for six months. The theory
advanced is that the couple had
gone to sleep beside the road and
had frozen to death inasmuch as the
mans overcoat and the woman's
furs were found thrown over the
bodies while the mans head was
resting on the arm of the woman.
Both Steele and Mrs. Forrest were
prominent in this section and their
simultaneous departure last Decem-
Der caused furry In social circles
here. Forrest fled suit for divorce
against his wife charging that she
eloped with steele.
A ccornoner's jury returned YER
dict that the body of the woman was
that of Mrs. Edith Forrest, wife OF
Andrew Forrest, and that she and
Steele we're murdered by party OF
parties unknown. 1t was found that
the mans skull was crushed in sew
eral places and that he had been
shot through the right side while the
woman's skill had been shattered IN
! to fragments. The mans watch and
quite large sum. OF. money he Is
said to have had. when he disappear
ed we're missing. His pocketbook
was found on the body but 1t was
empty. The husband of Mrs. For
rest was expected in town today
steele was 46 years iofsage and the
father of twelve children Mrs
Forrest was "a year old.
