FRANK P. SMITH
OFFERS IDEA FOR zoo

Former Mayor Frank p. Smith. in
reference to Canon City's interest in
a zoo, suggests that with small ex-
pense a lortion of the Skyline hog
back could be made into a splendid
geological park.
Mr.. Smith while mayor investigated
the proposition thoroughly and found
out that it would be possible to fence
the hogback starting from Soda Point
up along the ridge Just above the sur
faced portions adjacent to the peni-
tentiary stone quarries as far as Cleg-
horn point on the Skyline drive and
from there down the hogback west
to the road, following it along to the
starting point on Soda Point.
This area, according to Mr.. Smith,
would, comprise approximately 100
acres. tt would cost about 5000 to
fence it.
The elk which are coming from the
western slope could he placed there
and thus would be available TO all
s.ghtseers coming to this vicinity.
There is plenty of grass and forage
plants on the hosback and also ample
protection from the elements. The elk
would be practically in their native
haunts
Mr. Smith contends hat aeo1t the
only upkeep necessary " ull be few
tens of hay in the winter
Warden lyman was consulted atout
the plan by Mr. Smith and he readily
agreed to cooperate. He said that If
the city. or those interested. would
buy the fencing material he would
have his men do the work. He would
also have them lock after the feeding
in the winter months.
Mr.. Smith estimated that the cost
Of the fencing would be about the
5000 before mentioned.
Those who have heard the prorosi-
tion have given it hearty endorsement,
according to Mr. Smith.

MAY ESTABLISH FLOUR
MILL AT FLORENCE

Hadley Corning is around trying to
interest the people OF Florence in the
erection OF a -four mill His plan is
to purchase twenty-five tarrel Mid
get Marvel mill, which can tie secured
complete with additional feed grind
ing mill for about $4,000. He has a
building in sight which can lie secured
and made suitable for the mill for
less than $1,000.
He desires to secure eighty people
who will take $50 worth of stock each
and then he will furnish the balance
of the money necessary to equip and
operate the mill. he claims that the
wheat in this vicinity can be graded
up until it will make splendid -four
wheat.
The Midget Marvel mill has revolu-
tionized the making OF -four and in
many localities is proving a most pro-
fitable investment where in the past
the old style flour mills and the old
system OF grinding wheat could not
be made to yield a profit.
Several men in the city who have
had experience in the raising of wheat
&, tI,fs ,.;r;,1-,.- CO., MOT ,t,ara orc sav

only can be raised here. but yields

runs from siHty-;ve to sixty-seven
pounds TO the bushel and yields high
pereentage of high grade flour. That
in this valley the finest wheat raised
in the state. aye in many states can
be grown at profit. with mill here
to take the product.
One or two others state in the oper-
alton of the Canon -four mill Mr.. Side

times upon the production of wheat
raised at wetmore. Sloan and other
contiguous vicinit:es to raise his
grade of -four.
AS far back as twenty-seven years
ago 1t is noticed by the items Of that
period. that the need of a mill was
then foreseen and spoken of optimis-
ticaily as a desirable and profitable
enterprise.
The style of mill which Mr.. Corning
intends. or desires. to install is work
ing successfully in every portion OF
the United States from the Canadian
border to the Gulf OF Mexico and from
the Atlantic seaboard as far west as
Oregon. every one OF these places Civ
ing testimonials as to the good re-
suits with either hard or soft wheat.
The percentage of profit is as high
as st.s5 per barrel of -four and the
actual profit on the investment in lo-
cali,ies much more sparsely settled
than this running more than the cost
of the mill the first year.
one man can operate and manage
this mill. it is said. and the labor cost
in connection with it is very little

GERMAN DEAD FILLS
POND Of C0RPSES"
Crown Prince, At Appalling COST, Has
Regained the HiIlock
Spur.

(By C. F. Berteui. Special Correspon-
dent of the International News
Service)
Paris. June AT an appalling cost
the Crown Prince has regained the
Hillock Spur, which he had taken be-
fore and lost. where only she'll made
tree stumps, sawdust and splinters
remain of the erstwhile Caillette wood.
The Germans are still fighting hand
to-hand with grenades around the
famous Vaux ravine. which the poi
lus' call the ravine of DEATH" and
the Faux pond. called the pond of
corpses" because it Is filled with Ger
man dead.
An artillery officer who evacuated
the day before yesterday said to me:
The Caillette wood hillock Is so
clearly within the view of our bat
teries that we fire on it with the same
ease with which we put our food into
our mouths. Every big shell crater
Is known to the inch. Keeping it will
still be costlier to the Germans even
than recapturing 1t.
The raYlne, pond and Vaux village
were only taken after being previous
| ly taken and lost. The Saxon di-
visions. after two unsuccessful at
tempts, scaled the northern slope lead :
ing to Fort Faux. which the Germans
reached but lost on March 8. the
RUSSIAN division avoiding the fort
which was honeycombed with French
machine guns, attempted to outflank
the fort to the eastward, but the
FRENCH counter-attacks saved the
position from encirclement.
| The ground here Is so cut up and
deeply ravined that in many places
sight has been lost Of the advanced
posts Thus the problem of Verdun is
one of seeing.
The bottoms of the ravines and hol-
lows are simply stuffed with guns, but
the occupation of the heights Is neces-
sary as obserratories from which to
direct the fire. Whoever sees can de-
stroy his opponents. That Is why the
Germans are lavishing brigades and
divisions to capture fort Vaux, from
which the deepest hollows and ravines
where the artillery is hidden can be
seen.
To the terrific precision of the
French artillery is due the invaluab Bile
Vaux observatory from which the
German Environments. reserves and
supply trains can be shelled with ac-
curacy and without respite.
