HUNDREDS OF
ExCURSIONISTS
HERE SUNDAY

Canon City was the Mecca OF
southern Colorado excursionists on
Sunday and the town was thronged
with visitors throughout the day.
Six coach loads OF passengers were
brought in from Pueblo and inter
mediate points on the Denver & Rio
Grande Blossom day" special. which
arrived here at $3.50 O'Clock. and
several hundred other people came
By auto loads from Colorado Springs,
Cripple Creek. Victor. Pueblo. Flor.
ence. Saiida and other places within
radius of seventy-hve miles.
II is estimated that there were be-
tween two and three hundred out-of-
town automobiles here during the
day: the majority OF which made the
trip over the Skyline drive. Every
road entering Canon City was in pos.
ession OF motoriets and other pleas
ure-seekers fro NEARLY in the morn.
ing until late in the afternoon and
scores OF people pieI.eked at the top
OF the Royal Gorge. along the Tunnel
highway and other places of scenic
interest. The day was warm and
beautiful and the run here was one
OF enjoyment, to the visitors. Sunday
was the annual Ford sociability
run" and Il is estimated that near.
ly two hundred machines OF that
popular make were here at that time
They came from almost everywhere
and had things pretty much their
own way on the streets and public
highways. Most OF the autos were
decorated with flags and pennants
and made q brave showing.
Tho hotels. restaurants and board
ing houses were oongested with pat
ronage and their iarders were taxes
TO capacity to take care OF the vis-
itors. A band concert at Depot park
at 2:so In the afternoon afforded en-
tertainment to a large crowd OF peo-
pie. many OF whom came In on the
morning excursion.

PARK CENTER
HAD A GOOD
ROADS DAY"

The people of Park Center and vi
cinity had good roads day on
Friday and everybody that could
possibly do so devoted themselves
to the Improvement of the streets
and public highways. Special att
tention was given to the rural mail
carriers route which, was dragged
and put in excellent condition for
travel Where needed the roads
were widened drained and given a
rounded surface TO prevent the wat
er from standing on them and Great
ing mudholes during periods uf We;
weather. The work of the Park Cen
ter people was an exhibition OF civic
enterprise that might be initiated to
advantage by the citizens OF other
communities.
The women OF Park Center are no
less progressive and public spirited
than the men. in fact, II is hardly
too much to say that they lead in
that respect. when Fridays task
was done there awaited the men al
the school house one OF the best sup
pers ever prepared for a bunch OF
tired. hungry workers. which was
served to them by the ladies' Of the
community without stint and without
price. After eating So bounteous and
inspiring a supper some Of the men
volunteered to work another day on
the roads; being satisfied With the
same compensation.
Park Center has the best prospect
for n big fruit crop she ever had. II
you want to see the best kept ranch.
es. incest little homes and the hap
piest community in Colorado don't
fail TO visit Park Center.

Skyline route. At 1890 they came
in their pilot car and the party was
led TO the brink OF the great red
chasm. one OF the most rugged and
massive in the world, according tc
travellers. After a brief stay at the
top. the run was again taken up and
the line of autos returned to earth
(they really had been in the clouds)
and then went over the Skyline
drive.

ASSESSORS WANT TERM
MADE FOUR YEARS

At the recent meeting OF the coun-
~ assessors In Denver the matter OF
amending the state constitution 90 as
to extend the term OF the various
county officers from two to four years
was discussed and steps taken to
present the proposition to the voters
OF Colorado for their determination.
II was contended by those favoring
the change that such an extension
in the term OF office would conduce
TO greater efficiency OF service. As
well al be more economical TO the
public. The costs Of the bl-annuAi ell
ections to the various counties OF the
state IN enormous In the aggregate.
which could be saved n the term Of
office was heightened. In Fremont
county alone the expense OF a prim-
ary and general election ls between
$1,000 and 10000. which is very
heavy tax on the people and one for
which no advantages are TO be gain
ed. either real or imaginary. Four
years is certainly not too long n per-
iod for the retention OF a public of.
nee holder. indeed. It requires about
half OF that time to thoroughly fam
iliarize It's beneficiary with tho du-
ties Of the place and make him com
petent. efficient servant OF the peo-
pie.
A petition to initiate n bill to be
presented TO the Legislature will
shortly be circulated under the dircc.
ton OF tho assessors Of the state to
amend section eight OF article four.

tend the term Of Office Of all assess

GOOD ORE IN THE

entually land in the penitentiary. or
In the Jail at least and with right

They never can. or never viii put

friend. He is already in jail
So over and over again during the
past twenty-five years. and up 10 the
present time. well informed mining
men have insisted that there were
no metals In Fremont County worth
searching for. or developing II any
indications be found. and 10 bear
out their theory they have pointed
to the long deserted mining camp Of
Dawson. right in sight of Canon City.
They remember only In this camp
the great stampede that followed the
discoverer OF some fabulousiy rich

celebrated Gold King claim. So

CRIPPLE CREEK ROAD
TAKING UP RAILS

To all appearances the Florence &
Cripple Creek railroad does not con-
slider the recent order of the state
railroad commission to pebuild its
lines. very seriously. An authentic
report reached here from Cripple
Creek yesterday TO that effect that
the work train was ordered out on
the line Tuesday morning with the
instructions to load all the accessi-
BILE rails in Phantom canon in flat
cars to be shipped TO Colorado
Springs. The first trainload was
brought to Victor on Tuesday night
The crew discovered after reaching
a point below Wilbur that a large
boulder had rolled down upon the
track and 1t is necessary to have
this removed before the work car
proceed to any great extent. II was
further learned that two additional
bridges had been washed away
since the last inspection of the line
was made.
About a year ago the heavy steel
on the line from Alta Vista into
Victor was pulled and lighter rails
substituted. II was given out at
that time that this change was made
with the understanding that that
portion of the road was rebuilt
solely for the purpose If hauling
away material 1t is generally un-
derstood in the Cripple Creek dis
trict that the line will not be rebuilt
A month or six weeks previous to
the washing out OF the line in Phan.
tom canon. the Florence & Cripple
Creek company moved all OF its en-.
gines to the district and the shops
at Canon City had been practicall,
closed down for sometime. Only
one train crew had its headquarters
in Canon City, and when 1t became
necessary 70 secure the services oil
an extra mai for only a few days
at a time. he was sent from the Dis
trict. All indications pointed to the
fact that the company intended to
eventually establish the permanen,
headquarters of the road at Cripple
Creek.
One year before the washout oc
CURED the rumor was generally cir
culated among the railroad men EN-
ployed on the line that their head
quarters would be transferred to the
District and that the one train a da,
would leave Cripple Creek in the
morning and return there the same
evening.
So far as the Citizen is concerned
We would be only too glad to know
that the line would be rebuilt not
only to Canon City but to Florence
as well. the original terminus OF the
road into the Arkansas valley.
Those who were Interested in the
suit before the railroad commission
asking that the company rebuild its
line. ara confident that the coinmis
sion's order will be carried out, but
from present arrangements II looks
as though the company was prepar
ing for a bitter fight in opposition
to the order.-Florence Citizen.
