PARCEL POST
BUSINESS

Despite the fact that express com
pany officials used various forms of
advertising to attract Christmas
shipments, they announced Saturl ay
IN the large cities, Their business had
been greatly reduced through the
popularity of the parcel post. How
ever, they look forward eagerly to
May l. the date on which the new
tariffs go into effect. These rates,
they believe, will enable them to
win back some of the business they
have lost.
1t was declared the new rates will
make big cuts on charges for pack
ages of the size handled, by the par
eel pest. A ten pound package, for
instance, will be sent from Chicago
to New York for AZ cents, Or 80
cents under the parcel post rate. The
present express rate is IS cents.
The general agent of a large eX-
press company, in Chicago, who did
not wish his name used, admitted
his company's business had fallen
off 25 per cent this season. An
agent of another company said an
excessive number of heavy packages
were handled this season, but de
clined to compare business with
that of other seasons.

EMF ORCE YOUR
ORDINANCE

Is there an anti-spitting ordi-
nance? If so, why is it not enforc-
ed? l am working in a downtown
office and every day in the hallway
of the building and on the stairs
there are disgusting exhibitions of
mems carelessness and indecency in
spite of the fact that there is a
sign in the hallway to the effect
that splitting is unlawful. .
The same is true on the street
and yet no one seems to think it
unusual that men who are supposed
to be educated above that sort of
thing wilfully disregard the rules of
the community in which they live.
No man is better than the laws
which govern him.

WARDEN lyman OPPOSES
F. & C. c. R0Al MOVE

Warden lyman who takes great
Interest in road movements was ask.
ed by a Record reporter what he
thought OF the movement on the part
Of Victor to turn the right OF way Of
the F. a C. C. railroad into an auto
mobile drive.
Mr.. lyman is emphaticaIly opposed
to the suggestion. He says;
4 think the proposition is absurd
aud ridiculous from every conceivable
standpoint The present road through
Garden Park TO Cripple Greek is one
OF the finest prospects for beautiful
road that exists in Colorado. The
present road can be made into one
Of the most beautiful boulevards In
the state Of Colombo for one-twen-
ticth Of the cost IL would require. to
build a highway over the Florence
and Cripple Greek right OF way.
4 underltand the citizens OF Can
on City paid ont large amount Of
money TO get the railroad into Canon
City. and rom moral standpoint,
the railroad ought to be rebuilt and
thatatonce believe the lack OF
railroad into the Cripple Greek dis
trict is affecting this community. and
IL is affecting this institution. for
great many OF our products. which
we formerly sold In that district. we
are not able to sell at all. at this
time.
Speaking from the standpoint of
the Good Roads Movement, IL is the
most absurd proposition that has
come TO my attention since I have
been connected with road building In
this state and the citizens OF Fremont
and Teller counties would be very
foolish. in my opinion. TO expend a
large amount Of money in fixing up
an old railroad bed. when there is al
ready better foundation for n splen.
did highway into Cripple Creek.
What Canon City needs is not
only wagon road. but n railroad al
so into the Cripple Creek district.
This they can get by standing for
their rights. I rather think from
what have heard that there is a
unanimous sentiment against any ab-
andonment whatever OF the pending
suit in the courts. I believe that
the citizens OF Cripple Creek are Just
as anxious for this railroad as are
the people OF Fremont county, and.
In my opinion. any citizen OF this
community who would favor the ab-
surd proposition of an automobile
road over the old Florence a Grip.
pie Creek rightof-way is not alive
to the interests Of the community.
doubt very much II there il a single
man In this section who would favor
the abandonment of the suit now
