With the winter half over and no
bad weather yet we can reasonably
look forward to an early spring and
the resumption Of the work that is
making this Southern Idaho country
one Of the most productive spots in
the United states. There is expected
an influS Ct new settlers from the east
and from the west to help reclaim
the desert--from the east to escape
droughts and storms ana uncertain

hundreds Of men have toiled in the

timber is largely suit down ana there
is not the rich land they seek for Z

NEGRO SHOT
AT CHANDLER
ON SUNDAY

AS the result of a quarrel over
pillow between two negros at Chan
dler about S o'clock Sunday morn
ing Fred Williams shot at John
Brown three times: two of the bul-
lets taking effect and the other go
ing wild of the mark One Of n
bullets struck the victim a couple o.
inches above the right eye. but il
stead OF penetrating the skull glanc-
ed and furrowed a passage along tho
scalp. The second shot entered ,hc
right side. and. after passing throus
the kidneys. lodged in the hack
producing a serious, but not neces-
sarily fatal wound.
Williams alleges that Brown at
tackled him with an axe and that at
was compelled to shoot in self de-
tense. He shows a cut on the to-
OF the head which he says was infiici-
ed by Brown before the shooting
began. Williams was arrested by
Marshal Frank Perrino of Chandler
and held until the arrival OF Sheriff
Newcomb and Undersherif Chapman
when he was brought to Canon City
and locked up in the county jail on
the charge of attempted murder.
DR.. c. II. Graves was summoned 20
Chandler and dressed the injuries OF
Brown. who was later brought TO IL
hospital here Brown rested quite as
well as could be expected Sunday
night and was comfortable this NOR
ming. While his condition cannot be
said to be critical at this time II T
such as TO give his attendants con-
siderable anxiety. The chances seem
to favor his recovery although in
such cases II is impossible to pre-
dict the outcome with any great de
gree Of certainty.
Williams is twenty-nine years q
Sge and Is unmarried. He came 20
this state from Tennessee. Brown
is aged thirty-five years.

THE KNOCKER
BY /. R. STOCKTON

At recent meeting OF the Cham
her OF Commerce Mr.. Irwin r. Stock
ton made the following remarks;
Shall We knock the knocker. or
knock the knock that Is in tho
knocker?"
The knocker is n serious proposi-
ton. He affects both the business and
social welfare.
I would say that all knockers
might be classified under two hesds.
viz-:
First-The chronic knockcr.
second-The spasmodic knockcr.
The chronic knocker may be bet
ter described as n crank. something
movable. but II can only be moved
in one way. that IL the same old way.
and for only one purpose. and that
selfish motives and for a direct and
personal profit. ms ho Is too near
sighted to see that We all profit by
general welfare.
Under this class may be placed
those that have no ambition. no de
sire to be more. or to do more. and
they are perfectly satisfied with the
lordiy poaitions thor occupy. with
nothing to DO but to hssd back and
hich and knock.

ABOUT POPULATION FIGURES

The other night the question OF
of Commerce meeting. and while not
being given the Importance of a dis
cussion it was suggested by some that
the claims put out in the literature
sent out should be larger figure
than that usually used.
It seems to The Record that the
question as to what population figure
is used in talking OF the town is Of
more Importance than some might
give it,
shall the population be esagserai-
edG
VIII it help the town or hurt it to
give out false impression about the
population.
What is TO be gained by advertis-
ing a bigger population than we
have.
What is the actual population OF
the town?
What people are apt to be attract
ed TO a town by population eompar-
isons?
These are all questions that may
well be given fair consideration.
As to what the population is we
can tell you almost exactly. The
population today will not vary mueh
from what the census takers found
abou; four years ago. 1t certainly
is no greater. Some sections like
Prospect Heights have gone down
while a few more people may be iiy
ing In some other parts of the town.
The census gave Canon City prop
er. including in fact, all precincts
TO 6 which run away up into the
foot hills embracing Eight-Miie Park.
Orchard Park and all the people liv-
ing out in that direction. n total of
5.Is2. This also includes the con-
sic,s in the pep--eso to zoe.
The actual population OF the town
is less than 5000.
To get the population Of Canon
City and all the surrounding terri
tory we can figure IL by precincts
and the precincts are large and en-
brace a lot Of territory.

So when the census was taken
the ten Canon City and nearby pre-
cincts covered an area Of over Two
Hundred Square Miles and in that
200 square miles the population was
$3.50. including the convicts in the
pen.

tory. Eight thousand five hundred
thirty two people make up practic-
ally all the support in a business
way that the business interests Of
Canon City have to draw from. for
miles about.
A town in Kansas or Iowa, or
Missouri that shows in the census
$500 population has a big trading
population on the farms al about.
A town OF $500 people in Colorado
has no more support for the profes-
sions and business houses tha,
town OF hak that size in the farm
ing states.
A town of $500 people in Colorado
will not Support as many stores or
banks. or doctors or lawyers. or any
retail business or professional men

What class Of people does a con-
parison Of population figures attract
to a town.
II certainly is not the farmer. the
fruit grower. the investor In lands.
the manufacturer. the tourist. the
health seeker. or the homeseeker.
But II is the doctor. the lawyer.

for many years. The climate and

this town will always attract an un-
usual number of people Of this class.
over boasting the population will
belp to over crowd the professions
and retail lines. II indeed the adver-
tising amounts to anything.
When We claim e.eeo people in
Canon City We claim more than We
have and the suburban support is
no more than most fruit growing or
farming sections usually have.
When We claim $500. Canon City and
suburbs We claim all that can DE
found in 200 square miles Of terri
tority.
Aside from the "honesty-is-the-best
policy" theory which is usually a good
enough reason for being perfectly
frank. there seems to us TO be good
reasons why Colorado towns should
not over boast population figures.

WANTED To LYNCH
RAGLAN AT FLORENCE

Through the thoughtlessness of
some ill-adyised person this city came
nearly being the scene OF serious trou-
BILE Wednesday ofternoon when teIe-
phone messages were sent to the coal
and cement camps notifying the peo-
pie that chas. Raglan, the colored
man arrested for the killing of Jo-
seph Petty Saturday night would be
brought to Florence from the county
jail by Sheriff Neweomb to testify
at the inquest and that a lynchins
would take place at O'Clock OF
shortly thereafter.
Excited people came from the out
lying towns TO Florence from all di-
rections and II is estimated that be-
tween forty and fifty were here from
the camps in response to the mes
sage.
lie was a most grievous mistake and
when Sheriff Newcomb and the local
police authorities heard OF the oc-
currence they at once proceeded to
get busy. Sheriff Se~eonb brought
down Pleas Parker and Roy Samuels.
two colorei men who are being held
as witnesses against Raglan, but he
had no intention OF bringing Raglan
to Florence. and it was generally un-
derstood here that he did not intend
doing SO.
Samuels is a long. spare colored
man, and as 10 build somewhat re-
sembles Raglan. hence the impression
got out that he and Raglan were the
same. However. the authorities are
satisfied that Sainuels Is in no wise
implicated In the crime except that
he first became acquainted with Rag
Ian when he arrived in Portland from
Pueblo, and at the inquest yesterday
he told a Straightforward story and
proved TO be a most valuable witness
for the state
Parker has resided here for a num-
ber OF years and those who heard his
testimony at the Inquest are satisfied
that he had no connection with the
das;ardly crime.
1t was indeed fortunate that the
sheriff aand police officers learned of
the matter in time to prevent trouble
an dthat Samuels an dParker were
not molested The people are very
much wrought up ever the crime and
the lack OF Judgment on the part Of
any person who is inclined to jump
at conclusions may result in a deed
which would blight the fair name OF
Florence and haunt those partieipat-

the ooroner's inquest and that a mob
was going to hang him At 4 o'clock.
Great numbers OF the miners at once
started toward Florence. Ragiand
was not at the inquest. and Hedges
had evidently mistaken either Pleas
