The lake is well stocked with black

MIR. Sell has had wonderful sue

says there Is no danger OF black

happens TO the red raspberry. He
also believes in heavy fertilizing. He
has a raspberry patch that is har

with the German colony that settled

he didn't join the colony because he

Sells Island an Attractive Spot

One of the finest drives anywhere
is through the orchard district of
Lincoln Park. and one OF the pret-
tiest views Of this attractive drive
is at that point where you come out
on the brow Of the hill. at the top
of Pump hill. :.
Stop the horse or the automobile
and take a look. After looking all
around at the array OF mountain
scenery in every direction you study
the town of Canon City with its
beautiful avenues. miles of cement
sidewalks and many cozy comic
able homes.
Perhaps the last thing you will no.
tice is the beauty spot at your feet
the little orchard tract under III,
hill.
You look right down into the tops
of the trees. In the spring its a
flower garden-a sunken flower gar
den as IT were-full Of full grown
trees as gorgeous in spring bloom

At this time of the year the trees
are richly laden with brigh: re
cherries and nothing in all the orna-
mental or fruit tree line is prettIer
than a cherry tree full Of ripe red
cherries. thickiy mixed in among the
dark green leaves. Here you see
acres OF them. and in among the
tree rows. raspberries just turning
red and black.
Beyond is a little lake and nearby
two comforting homes.
Sells Island, for such d the local
name Of the place. Is no island at
all. 1t is only the name. But years
ago in the lake was a little Islai
and from that came the name.
Nearly thirty years ago. In fac
in 1855. Mr.. Ernest Sell bought 50
acres of ground along the river in
South Canon. running along under
the hill that Is now Lincoln Park
The land at that time cost less than
800 an acre. Today hardly an acre
Of this eighty can be bought for less
than $1,000 per acre.
Mr.. Sell built his home and built
the lake. The object in building the
lake was to make ice. For year,
Mr.. Sell sold all the ice used in
Canon City and It was gathered from
this little lake.
In later years the lake and tn,
grove about. were turned into a sum-
mer resort gardens and many people
have picnicked and fished and row
ed and danced at Sells Island.

follows as given by Lawrence Jos
senberger. another member of the
company, who was at the scene OF
the accident and did splendid work
in attempting 20 rescue both Miss
McHugh and Mr. Carter. The story
as told by Mr.. Jossenberger is as
follows:
The company was just finishing
up the scenario. ACROSS the Border"
and scenes had just been made at
the play grounds. they then prooe'
ed along the south side of the river
TO Grape Creek. where they waited
until Miss McHugh, who had return
ed TO the studio for dry clothing
in case she should get wet in fording
the river. to return.
MIR. Thayer told John Keough to
ford the rive to find out the depth.
Mr.. Keough went out into the river
and found the water to be only up
to the stirrups in the deepest places.
but II was impossible to ford the
river up stream to the point from
which Mr. Thayer wished them to
start. Keough was then sent W.
the horses to the other side OF the
river to the point from which they
were to start. while Miss McHugh
walked to the hanging bridge across
the river and walked up to the point
and met Mr.. Keough.
In the meantime Mr.. Carter and
1 removed our shoes and stockings
and carried the camera across Grape
Creek to a point where the whole
scene could be taken. When Mr..
Carter stepped into the creek he
made a laughing remark that he
would hate to take a plunge into
such water as 1t was ice cold.
THE camera was then set up and
ms 1t was cloudy We waited for a
few minutes until the sun came

to the river and reached our side
of the river with ease. At no time
did the water go past his stirrups
rs far as could be seen from the
shore. Mr.. Thayer asked Keough
II Miss McHugh was nervous. and
was answered in the negative. Mr.
Thayer turned to me saying I'm glad
OF that. because II she was the lea
bit nervous we'd call the ride off
He then called to Miss McHug
and asked II she was ready. She
waved her hand. and said somethine
which we could not understand. but
she was laughing and started into
the river. About -four feet from the
bank her horse stumbled and both

The Housekeepers' Alliance respect
fully directs attention of managers of
Washington markets, and grocery stores
to the large number of flies that every
summer swarm over our food in these
places. Inasmuch as flies carry much
filth and disease germs and deposit these
wherever they alight, We ask your So

where food is sold as free from flies as
possible.
I'VE urge you to take special notice
of the electric drop light cords, gas fix
lures and scale rods, to see that they
are free from flies. II a large canvas
or paper is placed under these early
in the morning before food is put in
place, and all these fixtures were brushed
down. and the flies burnt up, it would
help very much, as one fly may produce
many billions more in one summer.
