FRUIT men
ORGANIZE
TO STUDY
COOP PLAN

Notwithstanding the stormy. wea-
ther the fruit growers meeting at
the court house on Monday evening
was well attended. and the splendid
address on the applied principles Of
cooperation in the selling and dis
tribution of the products of the or
chard and the field by Mr.. Russell
H Forbes. the active secretary of
the Fruit Growers Auxiliary Com
mittee of Denver, well repaid those
who were present.
He declared that this new move
ment for the oranization of local CO.
operative fruit growers associations
throughout Colorado, New Mexico and
Utah with one central selling agency
was one of the biggest movements
ever started in the state.
Business men Of Denver, Colorado
Springs and other places who are
blessed with a vision but who have
no direct financial interests in fruit
industry, saw that under present con-
ditions this industry which involves
an investment on the part of the
growers, of ss0.oOO.oo0 and an annual
business of s5.ooO,Soo was rapidly
deteriorating.
They reorganized the fact that its
failure in Colorado would be a seri-
Gus blow to every industry and they
contributed $4,000, employed experts
in the fruit market problem. neglected
their own business and made a two
months trip last fall through the
northwest and California to investi-
gate the successful methods that are
in operation there.
The present plan of organization is
the result of this investigation and
has received the approval and COM
mendation of the market bureau of
the United States Agricultural de-
partment. At the close of his sd-
dress the following committee was
appointed to complete the plan of or
ganization to be known as The Canon
City Fruit Growers Cooperative AS
sociation:
Phil Sheridan. NJ. f. Snow, DR..
Allan Bell. Edward Case, ]. w.
Augustine. d. S. Moore and j. j.
Ashenhurst.
The committee organized by select
ing ]. j. Ashenhurst chairman The
committee will meet on Thursday
evening to develop it's work. Every
one present was deeply impressed
with the Importance of the movement
and many growers signified their in
tention to join the association.

Is, 1914 to April Is, 1915. there was
expended on the public streets under
the direction of the street, alley &
bridge committee the sum of $40,
602.S9. A considerable portion OF
the latter sum, however, was spent
for the construction of concrete con-
duits to carry the flow of the Hy'
draulic ditch across the streets. Those
portions of the reports touching the
municipal finances are especially
gratifying.
