WILL NOT ESTABLISH
PICKLING PLANT THIS YEAR

The Marshall Vinegar company of
Marshantown. Iowa, which had some
correspondence with Harry W. Combs
of the new industries committee of
the chamber of commerce a month
or SO ago in relation to establish
ing sailing and picking
plant here, has decided to take
no steps in the matter this year.
President W. w. Doolittle OF the
company has written the chamber of
commerce on the subject as follows:
Your very courteous communica-
ton bearing date of March 27th. at
hand in due time. From what you
say it looks to us as if Canon City
offered inducements for picking
industry. but, of course. we cannot
determine the matter without first
making thorough canvass of the
prospective growers.
1T is our custom to contract with
the growers for a certain acreage
of cucumbers, obligating ourselves to
take all the produce of that acreage
Our contracts read for cucumbers
varying in size from one to four
inches in length, and as we grow but
one variety, we furnish the seed at
what it costs us, usually thirty-fiv,
cents pound. One pound is suffici-
ent for seeding an acre.
Il have just returned from visit
to Denver, where entered into con-
tracts for approximately twenty thous-
and bushels. This, think. with
what we grow here. will be >suffici-
ent for our seasons requirements. 1t
is now getting little late to make
new contracts and installing another
plant. but we are going to keep this
matter in mind and will, undoubtedly,
make a personal investigation of the
conditions in your vicinity some
time before another spring"

WERE INNOCENT OF
ACCUSATION CHARGED

In the publication Of the criminal
docket of the district court in these
columns on Wednesday an error was
made in the use of the phrase, "yer-
sus A. r. Morton and Earl Wooisey,
larceny of children in the night time.''
There never was any charge against
the parties named in relation to chill
dren.
At the last term of the court in
February of the current year they
were before the district Judge aeeas.:
ed with appropriating few chickens
from neighbor family in South Cam
on. The property was Immediately
restored to the owner and the case
continued to the present April term
of the court and the boys placed upon
their own recognizance and pledge
of honor to foreswear bad habits, live
cleanly and report to the court the
FIRST day CT the April term for fur
ther orders. They did so report to
the court the first day of the term.
which was Monday last, and the ac-
count giyan of them was good. where
ulion the ease against them was dis
missed and they were nonorably dis
charged. The boys are of good fami-
lies and are active and promising
members of the Y. NJ. C. A.
The mistake alluded to grew out OF
too hasty reading of the docket
and was unfair to the boys in accus-
ing them of an offense of which they
were innocent We will endeavor to
keep track of the boys hereafter, and
feel sure that we will have occasion
TO note their development into clean,
manly and honorable men of whom
their parents and the community at
large will be honestly proud.

NEVER MIND YOUR MISTAKES

The people who make mistakes lead
the world.
The perfect people work for them
running errands and counting col
umns of figures.
Only trifies are always true. Every
great and serious truth has an OBJ
verse side which is also true.
Prof. William James was the great
est psychologist of our time, but the
best he could do in defining truth
was this. -The truth is simply what
will work.
Whatever is may not necessarily
be right, in spite of Pope; but what
ever is is. That is the main point.
And it is every mans job to accept
the isness and get down to business.
Most men have the wrong location,
have taken up the wrong profession.
have failed to improve the opportuni-
ties for education they had in youth,
have not married the woman ideally
suited to them. have not the money,
the influence and position they need
to show what's in them.
And they are of two classes. One
class sits around the loafing places
and tells its woes, and whittles. and
pities itself. The other plucks up,
forgets it, takes the situation as II
is and makes the best OF things.
The genius is not the man who new
er made mistakes. who had his chance
thrust on him. who was endowed and
all that: he Is the man who had no
chance and was not gifted, but who
took the raw materiai Of life and fate
as he found it and made something
fine out Of it.
The only perfect person you will
ever meet is the perfect fool

The work Of strengthening the
south bank of the Arkansas river be-
tween the Fourth street and Santa
Fe bridges is proceeding nicely and
is expected to be completed In the
course Of the next week or ten days.
In addition to the construction Of a
leyee two twenty-four feet concrete
piers, or breakwaters. have been
built for the purpose Of preventing
the current from cutting into the
bank. These piers have their found
alton below the bed of the river and
are eight feet wide at the bottom
and three feet wide at the top.

SAeUaeHE GRE
SUGGESTS SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT

Saguache Crescent.
A tentative plan is under considera-
ton to build an automobile highway
up the Arkansas river sscm Pueblo 10
Coaldale, thence over Hayden pass
in the Sangre de Christie range
through villa Grove to Saguache and
on to Del Norte: up the South Fork
of the Rio Grande river and over the
mountains to Pagosa Springs: through
Durango and the country. thousands
OF years ago occupied by the Cliff
Dweilers. to the Grand Canon OF the
physician has remained at home ever
Angeles, California.
This route will be at least 500 miles
shorter than any other feasible road
that can be built and will be the I'm
est scenic route in the world.
The elevation OF Hayden pass is
about 10000 feet and from there
skyline drive--worthy OF the name
could be built at a small cost along
the summit Of The Sangre de Christie
range for Is or 20 miles in south
erly direction. From this driveway
one OF the sranedst sights ever
spread before human vision would be
made accessible to the public.
Los Angeles guarantees the build
ing OF the road from that city TO the
mouth Of the Grand CEnon Of the-
Colorado II the people on this end OF
the route build to meet them. The
road is practically completed from
Pueblo TO coaldale and from the lat
ter place TO villa Grove is only IL
miles. From the Grove to saguache
is already a state highway. Work Is
being pushed on tho South Fork part
OF the route and with little effort
the connecting links can be pushed to
completion.
With this road built you can leave
Saguache In the morning. eat dinner
in Colorado Springs and spend the
evening in Denver.
OF course. Denver will be opposed
to this route as Il Is working for =
route from that place west across the
state in order 20 make the tourists
all visit that city. but who ever
heard of Denver boosting anything
unless It would be the big winner by
doing so?

FIFTY YEARS SINCE
LInCOLS'S ASSASSINATION

Thursday was the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the death of President Lincoln
and flags on all government build
ings and recruiting stations through
out the country were at half mast as
a tribute to his memory. Abraham
Lincoln, the first martyred president
of the United States. was shot April
IA. 1865 and died the following day.
Nine days previous to his assassi-
nation President Lincoln made stir
ring address on the prohlems of re-
construction which was uppermost in
the public mind at that time. Rich
mond had just been evacuated by
General Lee and the president took
this occasion to make what was TO be
his last address.
President and Mrs. Lincoln attend
ed performance of "our American
Cousin" at Ford's theatre in Washing
ton. the evening of April IA. 1865.
In the midst of the play John Wilkes
Booth crept into the presidential box
anu ifeQ tut ldtsti SHOl- 4 nc assassin
then jumped on the stage, turned to
the audience and shouted: sic sem
per tyrannis, ESQ be 1t with all ty-
rants) the South is avenged" Booth
made his escape. Eut was Subsequent
ly apprehended and shot
The president died the next day
from his wound at the home Of q
friend. to which he was removed from
the theatre. In connection with this
great national tragedy 1t will be In
teresting to know that r. NJ. Foster,
of Lincoln Park. father Of Mrs. J. f.
Freidinger. was one OF the military
guards stationed outside Ford's thea
ire at the time the president was
shot. Mr. Foster knew Abraham Lin

RECLUSE FOUND SUFFER-
ING FROM PNEUMONIA

ty-iive years. was taken to the infirm-
AIRY at the county poor farm by Sher.
in Newcomb and Undersheriff Chap
man about IL o'clock Friday night In
an unconscious condition as the re-
suit of an attack OF pneumonia. Mr..
Phillips has lived as a sort OF re-
cluse In a shack at the old W. 8.
Stratton coal mine on Chandler creek,
couple OF miles above fioclsvales
for the last twelve or fifteen years
and but comparatively few people
knew anything about him owing to
the lonely. retiring sort OF existence
he lived On. Friday the sheriff was
informed by John Kiie OF Rockvale
that Phillips was sick and prepare
tions were made by the former TO pro-
cure for him medical attention On
going to his cabin In an automobile
the following night the sheriff found
him in a helpless stupor. unable to
recognize those about him. The un-
fortunate man was carried to the
auto and conveyed to the in1rmary
where restoratives and stimulants
were given him. II Is not believed
that he can recover. owing TO the dis
ease and the weak and exhausted con-
dition Of the patient resulting from
old age AMI the neglect 10 which he
has been subjected.
Phillips was at one time employed
as guard ut the mine and received
q small salary for his services In
that connection. When the mine was
abandoned after the death Of W. s.
stratton. ten or twelve years ago.
he refused TO leave the place and
has made his home there ever since.
Phillips has no relatives in Colorado.
but is understood TO have a couple
of daughters living somewhere In
