WORK PROCEEDING ON
TEXAS CREEK ROAD

County Surveyor Jas. B. Bunten re-
turned to Canon City Wednesday from
some engineering and inspection work
on the Texas Creek Hillside road now
being built into the Wet Moutain val
ley under the supervision of the board
of county commissioners. Eighteen or
twenty men have been employed in
connection with the undertaking dur
ing the last two months under the di-
rection OF Floyd Coleman and splendid
mile out of Texas Creek lot of
very heavy construction was neces-
sary, but that has been about complet-
ed and the remainder will be much
easier
According to Mr.. Bunten only one
rocky point has to be conquered and
that will be blasted out in the course
of the next week or ten days. After
that the task will be greatly simpli-
fed as it will simply be question of
grading highway along the mountain
side. Mr.. Bunten says in the course
of another month. if there is no inter
ruption of the work, the roadway will
be SO far advanced that 1t will be
possible for vehicles to cut across
from its southern terminus to the old
highway leading into the Wet Mountain
valley and thus avoid the long stretch
of sandy creek bottom that 1t is nee
essary to travel at present
The greater part Of the new road
has been surfaced with decompose5
granite and makes fine highway. 1t
will probably be well into the fall
months before the undertaking is en-
tirely finished, although a consider
able portion of 1t will be traversabie
within short time.

quarrel soon developed and Morton

which he was arrested. Formal com

to lose their excellent guardians, whom
most of them had depended upon since
birth. There was much sobbing and
weeping and some of the older folks
declared they would never leave the
Earlys. M
But Dick and another young buck,
his cousin. talked it over and decided
that they would make a stab at earn
ing a living by themselves, SO they
planned to leave the farm the next
morning. They got together what
money they had saved and few
trinkets and just at dawn they started
out into the world alone.
They had only gone but a few miles
when they came upon company of
federal militia while on the road to
Wellington. The militia were sta
toned at MAYHEM Prairie and were
on their way to be mustered out. They
greeted the two colored lads happily
and passed on with the exception of
one. He hung back, talking to the
boys until the other men were out of
sight. Then he pulled out his gun and
made the lads give up all their earthly
possessions. They pleaded for little
money, but he would give them moth
ing.
after talking the matter over decided
to go back to. the Earlys and work un-
til they made some more money. This
they did.
The Earlys in year or so sold out
their farm and moved to California.
Dick went to Independence, Mo-, and
lived there until fifteen years ago.
when he moved to Canon City, where
he has resided ever since.
He was married twice and had five
children by his first wife. He has one
child by his second wife, who is still
living. This child was six years old
last May.
Dick says that he hated to see free
dom come to him in those early days,
but after few years fighting the
world he became used to the changed
conditions and is now exceedingly glad
that it came to him. 1t developed in
dustry in him and by the janitor work
he has been doing since he came here
he has been able to buy two homes
and save some money besides.
He has quaint philosophy of life
which he sums up in rhyme as fol

HERE IS A STORY OF HOW
ONE AMERICAN FARMER
WAS TREATED IN MEXICO

Here is a good story of typical
Mexican refugee clipped from the Mt
Carmel ull) Register. Several Can.
on City people know the paper and the
people well.
All over the United States just such
stories are being told and are finding
their way into print:
Frank Peters. who went from this
county to Medina. Mexico. in 1906. has
just returned home. having been driy-
en- out by the threatened outbreak OF
hostilities between the United States
and Mexico.
'Mr. Peters story OF his experience
in the land OF the greasers ia more
entertaining than a novel. and he has
had excitement and experience enough
to satisfy anyone. He.was on the high
road TO afBuence when the trouble in
Mexico became serious. but he came
out OF there practically stripped OF
everything he possessed.
when he went TO Mexico It was to
look after DR.. p. G. Manley's inter
ests at Medina. but after two years
he purchased land OF his own and as
he now expresses Il he owns 200
acres of as good land as the sun ever
shone on When he went there land
was selling for $3.50 per acre. When
he bought the price was Sc. Just be-
fore the bandits overran the country
some OF It was selling as high as
500 per acre. At the present time Il
is wirthless. but Mr.. Peters hopes that
order will again be restored and its
value regained.
"Of the 200 acres which Mr.. Peters
owns forty-five acres are in pineap-
pies and the rest in grass and corn.
Last years crop he sold for s1O.O 600
Mexican money. but not anticipating
conditions would become no serious

In event of actual break with Mex
