VlSITIN6 THE PRISON
ROAD MAKING CAMP

Joseph Hyde, Pratt of Raleigh,
North Carolina. secretary of the good
roads association in his home state.
was visitor in Canon City on Sum
day. Mr.. Pratt came down from Dem
ver with the members of the Colora-
do State Highway commission for the
purpose of inspecting the convict
road-making camp on the Parkdale-
Cotopaxi cutoff of the Rainbow route
He is investigating the system of
convict labor as employed on the pub
lie highways OF Colorado with a view
of having 1t adopted in North Caro-
lima. According to Mr.. Pratt three
honor camps for prisoners have al
ready been established in his state
with total OF eighty-seven at work.
There is, however. a convict popula-
ton of 1900 men there and what to
do with them is problem.
Mr.. Pratt says the authorities in
North Carolina are desirous of leas-
ing Colorado's manner of handling
prisoners in order that they may place
at least 1900 convicts at work on the
public highways in honor camps.
There are 10000 miles of wagon roads
In the state; only six or seven hun
dred miles OF which are surfaced. Mr..
Pratt speaks highly of the Colorado
system and says that there is no
doubt that. with certain notifications
prompted by local conditions. it will be
adopted in North Carolina as soon as
It can be put into effect.

It's pleasure for us to be able to
present Honorable Thomas Pryor
Gore on our program this year; first
OF all because OF the splendid mes
sage no will bring. and secondly be-
cause OF the unusual manner In
which he clothes his thoughts.
To hear him is to listen to a mas
ter orator. His command of the
English language is wonderful; each
sentence Is clean-cut. clear and dis
tinct. and yet carries with it that
brilliant eloQuence that convinces
and persuades.
His standing as a speaker is enough
OF itself TO make him greatly in de-
mand. Added to this Is the fact that
lusa now he is In the public eye as
. prominent United States Senator.
And then he is the only blind man
who ever wore the Senatorial toga.
All this makes his coming an event
OF which We may well be proud
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1915-06-17

It's a fine. big example he has set
for our own boys to follow. And the
story of his life is as wonderful as
some strange bit OF fiction.
He was a poor boy.-lost one eye.
and then the other when he was only
~ years old.
I'VE must put him in an asylum .
his folks said. But none of that for
young Gore. II you consider 1t a
difficult matter to secure an educa-
ton with a good pair of eyes. and
books and schools everywhere. think
OF the young man,-poor, blind
And yet he became q teacher,-a
lawyer.-and then Senator. And
be did this by fishting and working
every step Of the way.-not an ordi-
nary senator. but one Of the best post
ed statesmen In America
He'll be here: and he lectures just
as he does everything else, In the
best possible manner. as you will see.

chamber of commerce on the other
have been held within the last TWEEN
ty-four hours looking to a more con-
venient train service out of Canon

The first took place at the office of
the Wells Fargo company at o'clock
Thursday evening and the other at
the Office Of the Thomas & Kirktol
Fruit company on South Eighth street
at 10 O'Clock this morning Thursday
evenings conference was attended by
w. E. Carpenter and J. R. Taft. both
OF Denver; the former superintendent
Of the western division of the Wells
Fargo Express company and the lat
ter route agent, for the same cor
poration- There was present TO
meet them a committee OF Canon
City businessmen. who urged the i'm
mediate restoration by the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad company Of
trains Nos. 3 and 10 as a necessary
measure TO meet the requirements OF
the fruit and berry shippers OF this
district. Facts were presented by
the committee showing the urgency
OF the demand and the rights OF peo-
pie here in the matter.
Both MIR. Carpenter and MIR. Taft
concurred in the equity Of the plea
made to them and agreed TO use their
influence with the railroad company
to secure the additional trains out of
Canon City during the summer
months. Mr.. Carpenter returned to
Denver on late train Thursday
night and promised to report the re-
suit to his interview with the heads
OF the operating department of the

pany, and ]. d. Kenworthy of Pu.
eblo. assistant general freight and
rassenger agent OF the company. who
listened to what fhe wholesale fruit
shippers had to say in favor Of the
proposed new train service A lot Of
data bearing on the subject was laid
before them for their consideration.
but no definite assurance was given
that the service would be inaugurated.
Mr.. hampton said that prompt inves-
tiration OF tho matter would be made
and II conditions warranted 1t he
believed that the request would be
! complied with. He stated that II
\ would probably be necessary to take
the proposition up with President
Brown and other officials OF the road
In New York and that correspondence
would b. opened up with them in re
lation to the matter without delay.

FRocK OF FIGURED cHALLIs.

their popularity to challls, which is
really very pretty and. although much
less expensive, comes in almost as
many charming designs as taffeta
The lovely toilette shown here has a
skirt built in three tiers, each bound
with plain taffeta, and a corsage that
is shlrred at the front in lieu Of the
regulation vest. The V-shaped neck is
finished with a friIl OF hemstitched
linen, through which a silk cord is
laced. The entire costume requires 6
yards of 44-inch challis.
Because of it's daintiness and indi-
viduality the corsage can be made of
silk, to be worn with almost any fancy
skirt Used independently the design
requires j Is yards di-inch or "a yards
36-inch material. The narrower fabric
may be folded in the cutting, but only
the ruiTles are laid on the lengthwlse
fold, and they are arranged crosswise
of the challls.
The sleeve. which is placed on the
goods first. IS arranged on a lengthwise
thread This is followed by the piec-
ing for the rufIle, with the back placed
opposite the piecing. The front is ar
ranged between the RIFLES and the
cuff and, like the latter. rests on
lengthwise thread,
If the corsage is desired pointed at
the lower edge cut off lower edges of
front and back on single small 90" per-
foratIons.
Delightful things are done with ruff
fies and frills this season, especially in
finishing the outline of the neck We
shall see more of hemstitched frills
combined with knots, shirred
cords. string ties, etc, as the season
advances The flchu is also to be reclS-
oned with as it is one of the styles of
grandmothers day that has been re-
vived with positive success.
The soft. light weight materials such
as challs are most attractive for
dressy frocks. especially those Of the
less extreme sort. the softness OF the
challis allowing width without the
great flare to which taffeta and some
of the other smart silks tend. OF
course this matter of fare depends
largely upon the cut and handling, and
even taffeta can be suhdued by mod
crate limos if the designer is determined
to curb it's audacious spirit.

FIRE IN HoosIck TUNNEL
Traffic Blocked While Three Freight
Cars Burn.

North Adams, June 10.-Trafic
through Hoosac tunnel was complete
" blocked about O'clock Wednes-
day evening by fire which destroy
ed three freight cars and damaged
others at point Just east of the CEN
trail shaft of the tunnel. The fire was
cause by the breaking in two of a
Boston and Maine fast freight. bound
for Boston. The action of the air
brakes in suddenly stopping a por-
ton of the train is thought TO have
buckled two of the cars so that they
were thrown against the high tension
electric wires suspended from the
roof of the tunnel and set on FIRE.
The North Adams fire department
was asked to so into the tunnel to
fight the flames and some of the fire
men spent several hours there with
out being able to make much head
way in checking the flames. which
were difficult to reach in the smoke
filled space. The cars destroyed
were of the ordinary freight car type,
two of which we're loaded with brick,
and one with general merchandise.
