LETTER CONTEST CLOSED
With 5000 RESULTS
been planned as yet.

At recent meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce the first Letter Con-
test was closed. The letters qua,i-
flying in the contest have been hand
ed to the judges, supt. w. H. Ray,
Mrs. T. NJ. Harding, Sr., and Rev.
George F. Sewer. who will give the
letters due consideration and award
the prizes A complete report of their
decision will be published at late
date.
Some very beneficial results have
been obtained from this work and a
second contest of very similar ma
ture will probably be conducted in a
short time. This is very pleasant
work and more people should enter
into the spirit of the movement. Large
crowds of tourists, westward bound to
the Panama Exposition. would be glad
to pay Canon City a visit. If Canon
would make itself known. One such
visit would show the advantages here
OF climate and scenery and each Wis
itor would become booster for Can
on City. Think what such help would
mean to Canon City and when the
next letter contest is opened, write
that letter to the home paper and get
into the game.

THIRTY KILLED IN

EXPLOSION IS A MYSTERY
Powder Was Being Packed For snip
ment to Warning Nations-e'ast
Rocks the erandy~ins
Valley.

Wilmington.-Thirty workmen were
killed and seven fatally injured when
four tons of black powder exploded at
the Upper Hagley yard Of the DUPONT
Powder Company. The cause OF the
blast il not known. A statement is
sued by the company said the origin
will probably always remain mys
terry"
Nearly all the victims Of the blast
were young men. between 16 and q
years OF age. Most Of them lived In
and about Wilmington.
The explosion was In . packing
house where black powder pellets are
prepared for shipment to the warning
nations. The packing house was one
CT a large group of small buildings
which make up the Upper Hagle,
plant, about three miles northwest. OF
the city.
The blast rocked the Brandywine
Valley and shook and startled Will
mington. Workmen ran from every
building and shack in the wide area
which the company's plant covers. A
great column of smoke rose from the
spot where the packing house stood
and when the cloud disappeared there
was only a big hole in the ground.
Twenty-six men were in the Moose
that disappeared. The others killed
and the wounded were hit by flying
debris.
The pellet packing house was one
story frame building, 18 by 20 feet,
and was divided into six rooms. Near
by buildings were damaged. Company
officials said the property loss was
small.
One theory advanced by worXmen
is that the explosion may have orig
mated in a spark from horses shoe
or from a spark caused by small car
running over some spilled powder. A
workman said that just before the ex-
plosion a car in which there were
several thousand pounds Of black pow
der had been drawn by two horses
along a narrow gauge track to the
entrance OF the packing house to be
prepared for shipment. The powder
is packed into boxes holding about SO
pounds each.
