POSTMASTERS BANQUET
TUESDAY NIGHT

The banquet given at the Hotel
Miller Tuesday night in honor of the
members of the Colorado Association
of Postmasters was a very pleasant
affair, and socially at least was the
elimination of the annual convention
of their organization.
In addition to the visiting postmas-
ters there were number of unofficial
guests, principally residents of Canon
City, making altogether forty people.
of whom perhaps a dozen were Ia
dies. The banquet was greatly en-
joyed and in cuisine and service
maintained the splendid traditions of
the hotel where it took place.
Postmaster Clark Cooper. president
of the association, officiated as toast
master during the postprandial pro-
gram, which included number of
excellent talks, discussions and ad-
dresses. The principal speaker of
the evening was Congressman Ed
ward Keating, although short talks
were made by Deputy Postmaster ].
w. Emmerson of Canon City, ]. F.
Morgan of Colorado City. Gen. Joseph
H. Maupin of Canon City. Postmaster

siderable length and reviewed with
more or less detail the postal legis-
lation of the United States during
the last few years. He approved the
civil service law governing postoffice
clerks and other employees and ex-
pressed the hope that the time would
soon come when the postmasters of
the country and their assistants
would not encounter single political
obstacle in holding their jobs from
one national administration into an
other. He also advocated the taking
over by the postoffice department of
the telephone and telegraph systems
OF the country, as is the case in
rope. Mr.. Heating stated that the
postal saving law, under which the
postoffices conduct a savings bank
enartment, was a fake, rather than
beneficent public measure, and he
expressed the belief that it would
not be long before it was amended so
as to be of greater value to the
people at large.

ABOUT ANsoN s. RuDD.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. Putnam of Paw
nee. Oklahoma, and the latter's cous-
In, Mrs. George F. Capell, of Ottum.
wa, Iowa, stopped off in Canon City
for a short visit Friday night while
enroute east from the California ex-
positions to make inquiries about the
late Gov. Anson S. Rudd and family,
to whom Mrs. Putnam and Mrs. Ca
pell are related by ties Of kinship.
They are nieces of Gov. Rudd and
cousins OF Anson S. Rudd of Denver,
the first child of American parents
born in Canon City.
Although Mrs Putnam and Mrs.
Capell had heard much OF Canon City
they had never been here before and
knew nothing of the whereabouts of
the Rudd family. They secured a
number of photographs Of Gov. Rudd's
old home at the corner of Sixth and
River streets and from the older resi-
dents OF the community learned much
of the family history.
