ABOUT THAT TALK OF
HORSES ON MAIN STREET

Recently an article appeared In the
local papers regarding the hitching OF
horses on Main street in Canon City.
Unfortunately the article did not go
enough into detail to make its pur-
pose clear. 1t was not the purpose
of the writer of that article nor Of
the people who advocated such a
movement to work any hardships up
on those who come to Canon City 10
trade from the surrounding districts.
The ranchers are always welcome in
Canon City.
It is the desire of the Civic Improve
ment league to give the most health
full and pleasant streets and sidewalks
for the use of those who come here
to trade. The plan was intended pri-
marily to provide a means Of hitching
the regular delivery wagons Of the
merchants on the side-streets or on
the alleys so that when a ranchman
or anybody else wants to drive up to
a store he can do SO. and not have to
stop half block away on account OF
the delivery wagons.
1t has always been the desire OF the
merchants to provide the most attrac.
tive facilities for the visitors and It
would not be their desire to under
take any movement that would make
for the discomfort of the customer.
Any Understandings to that effect
should at. once be corrected. Canon
City is open to the rancher and far
mer. Come as often as possible and
Canon City will try and have her
streets in the best OF condition for
your use.

NEW MATERIAL STANDS rEsT
FOR STREET sURFAcINc.

The Rio Grande intends shortly to
surface the streets crossing the
tracks in the local yards with the
new material which the company has
been testing for some weeks at Ninth
street and around the depot The
material is rock things obtained from
one Of the mines in the Southern
coal fields and according to road off,
cials It has proved to be the best
material they have ever tired out for
street surfacing.
The rock packs hard as could be
desired and does not become dusty
in dry weather. The City Council
has been watching the test and It Is
said may try out the material on q
portion Of one Of the city streets in
the near future. II is asserted the
tailings can be obtained and brought
to the city at u less figure than the
ordinary gravel now used can be pur-
chased.

|GRASSHOPPERS KILLED by
USE OF POISONED BRAN

There have been several reports Of
stock being poisoned by poisoned
bran that has been scattered for grass
hoppers. 1t was reported that one
man lost three head of horses, while
in another section nineteen head of
cattle were poisoned In all such
cases that were followed up, it has
always been found to be due to care
lessness or lack of knowledge as to
how to use the poison One case
that has been frightening many peo-
pie of that section of the state from
using the poison, the person left his
corral gate open and the stock ate
from the sack; while in another, the
poison was placed about the field, one
half of pint in place.
If properly used there is no dan
ger whatever of poisoning any stock,
unless it be poultry, which should be
penned. Scatter the bran as thinly
as possible over the ground. Ten
pounds should treat from to 5 acres.
The hoppers eat it better If there is
only flake or two in place. Never
should there be a mass larger than
grain of wheat thrown upon the
ground.
The farmers in the grasshopper Sec
tions should not allow these reports
to keep them from using the poison.
The use of bran is probably the best
means you have to protect this sea:
sons crop. There is much less dan
ger of loss from the use of poison, if
properly used. than there is from
the hoppers.-Geo. NJ. List. Colorado
