has the prospect for big crop Of all
kinds OF fruit been as flattering as II
is now and never before has there
been n stronger spirit Of confidence
in the community in good times
ahead" than at present Everywhere
there Is optimism and expectation
and they seem to be based upon some
thing more substantian than idle
dreams.
Horticultural experts predict that
the orchard crop next summer Is go
ing to be one of the biggest in years
and base their belief on the splendid
condition of the fruit trees and the
prodigality OF the buds they contain.
II is a widespread tradition that a
good fruit year. as well as a good
agricultural year. follows a winter of
deep SHOWS. There is a pretty general
conviction that 1914 is going to be a
banner year for our orchardists.
Real estate dealers and others are
receiving many inquiries from people
IN the eastern states about the Canon
City district and a considerable adds-
tion to the population OF the COM
munity OF immigration may be looked
for within the next twelve months.
Canon City has more than held Its
own during the past year in spite OF
the coal strike and the somewhat
lethargic condition of commercial op-
erations throughout the state. The
records shoy that business has been
very good here all winter. in fact. II
has made material gains over twelve
months ago. While both freight and
passenger traffic have shown a fall
ing off in many places Canon City has
shown a gain. Business at the local
station OF the Denver & Rio Crande
has been very gratifying this month.
as It was. also. in December. During
the month OF November the Rio
Grande's business showed a greater
proportionate gain at Canon City
than at any other point on this divi-
sion.

II is learned that the bulk shipments
of fall and winter varieties from
Canon City during the last six

that way during the corresponding
months in 1919. This.of course. docs

istercd in favor of the statewide pro-
hibition and 6,239 against it,
The Richmcnd figures are regarded as
surprise. From the early days
Of the campaign It had been pre-
dicted that this city would defeat State
wide prohibition by n majority ranging
between $500 and $500 votes. AS the
contest drew to n close the converts to
this estimate grew I'm number and II
was confidently expected that Rich
monds majority against Statewide pro-
hibition would be not less than $500
The reduction of the local option ma
jority in this city is attributed in large
part TO the strenuous effort on the part
of the State widers. during the last few
days OF the campaign. 10 swing Rich
