CALLS JOE RYAN
IMAM OF NERVE"

In speaking Of the accident that be-
fell Joe Ryan. who was severely hurt
here a few days ago by the fall OF his
horse while pulling off a dangerous
stunt for the Colorado Motion Picture
company. the Cripple Creek Times
says:
Joe Ryan is known to every resi-
dent OF the camp as the man who rode
Peaceful Henry at the close OF the
Fourth of July celebration in Cripple
Creek last year But he Is even bet
ter known for his nerve and grit and
his sportmanship. Ryan was thrown
in short order by Spinner at Victor
two years ago and then proceeded to
bull dog" steers and rope cattle
while he wrangle horses with Jack
Elliott for two days.
He is game sport and comes back
laughing all the time. He is the lad
who organiped a vaudeville show
wherein only wild west stunts were
allowed. He bull dogged steers. broke
broncos and did roping stunts on the
stage and made a wonderful hit wher.
ever he showed. Last year he won
bet by riding a bronco into the Mo-
zart cafe between the tables and up
to the cabaret stage where he lifted
singer from behind thc footlights and
carried her out to the sidewalk to col.
lect his bet. He then rode back with
her on his horse and planted her On

PROSPEROUS
YEAR AHEAD
FOR CANON

Unless all signs fail. 1914 is going
TO be more than ordinarily prosper
Gus year in all lines of business in
Canon City and throughout Fremont
county. The winter has worked no spe-
cial hardshirs on any line of indus
try and has been distinctly favorable
for the fruit growing interests. Real
estate dealers report an unusually nu-
Ferrous inquiry for property in the
Canon City district and the indications
are that there will considerable IN
fux of new pepole into this section
during the coming spring and summer.
A number OF families have removed
bere from the eastern states since the
first OF January and others will fol
low as soon as the cold weather is
ever. which can hardly last more than
j few weeks at the most.
Not for long time have horticul-
rural conditions here been as promis-
ing at this season Of the year as they
are al present, and unless the unex-
pected happens bumper orchard and
berry crop next summer is a foregone
conclusion. Fruit growers are unani-
mously agreed that the orchards were
never more thrifty than now and that
the trees are laden with embryo buds
that have been uninjured by the frost
during the winter months. There is ev-
srywhere among orchardists and gar
deners a spirit of optimism and ex-
pectancy such as has not prevailed
in many years and they. have abund-
and reason for 'the faith within them"
With the fruit trees entering upon
the season of growth and harvest in
prime condition. and. with effacacious
methods OF dealing with the insect
Pests and prey upon them. horticul-
turists confidently look forward to a
year OF financial success. Ranching
and gardening in all OF their phases
promise correspondingly remunera-
tive results to diiigent. Intelligent Ia.

Prof. J. p. Farmer. speaking at the
recent goodfellowship banquet OF the
chamber of commerce and the motor
club at the Denton hotel, stated that
the horticuiturlsts OF the Canon City
district had in the oil spray conquered
their worst enemy. the leaf roller. and
that in the future not more than one
per cent OF the fruit crop here need
be lost because OF it's ravages. MIR.
Farmer asserted that because OF It's

Harry p. Herdman which will find
many interested readers In Canon
City
Mr.. Herdman spent year In Canon
City some time ago. He bought
tract in Beaver Park and started a
chicken ranch. Later he drifted away.
This letter comes from "Africa In
land Mission. Kijabe b. E. Africa"

Mr.. Herdman says in part:
The mission where am located is
forty miles from Nairobi. where there
Is a bank and we are severa Imies

postoffice Is located. The mail Is
carried from the station to us by ma
tive. and I cannot entrust to him the
securing OF money order. I will go
to the station at my earliest oppor-
tunity. but can scarcely do it for the
next foreign mail. which goes out day
after tomorrow Our foreign mails
are very irregular both in coming and
going.

Platinum Not Popular.

There is general feeling that manu-
featuring jewellers find platinum too
expensive for general use In jewelry,
and rumors within the past few
months intimate that the electrical
manufacturers have found a substitute
which answers their purpose very well.
Experiments in the latter direction
have been progressing for some years,
and they seem to have been crowned
with more or less success. The auto
mobile industry is still using platinum
and iridioplatinum sparkling points,
which creates a demand that a., few
years ago was not in evidence. This Is
considerable consumption Every
magnetic has pair of platinum points
or buttons which completely wear
away In two to four years of USE
