cal aid was summoned at once and a

HERE IS A CROP
CANON CITY FOLKS MIGHT
FIND PROFITABLE

Pueblo Chieftain:
Honey Dew melons raised in the
Arkansas valley this year have boost
ed the bank accounts of many farm
ers by the sensational prices which
they have brought. The melons
ordinarily have brought from $3.50 to
SO per crate and it is estimaed that
they have averaged about 500 crates
to the acre. Most farmers who have
raised the melons claim to have made
between $3.50 to $1,000 per acre off
their crop this summer.
Probably no melon raised in years
has caused the sensation the Honey
Dew has made this summer. Charles
w. Fairbanks, Republican candidate
for vice president, in Pueblo Thurs
day evening, was served with a large
portion of one of the melons. 1t was
the first time he had eaten the lusci-
Gus fruit and he declared that he en-
joyed it greatly and asked several
questions regarding its origin and
growth.
The melon is secured by crossing
the pink meat cantaloupe, the South
African Casaba and the California
Casaba. Last year was the first sea-
son it has been grown in Colorado
Setu ILLS year SOlu loi 2So
per pound.
Some interesting figures in con-
nection with the selling and serving
of the cantaloupes have been pre-
pared. In the east it is said cafes
and restaurants are selling portions
of the melons at so cents each.
Colorado Springs hotels are serving
them at 25 cents per portion, but the
most remarkable figures come from
the Fred Harvey system of eating
houses and dining cars on the Santa
Fe railway. Agents for the Harvey
system have purchased the melons
in the Arkansas valley of Colorado
during the past summer for $1.5O
per crate or about 80 cents per melon.
On the trains the melons have
been cut into six portions and sold
for 80 cents per portion, making the
melons sell for $1.S0 each.
One farmer residing near Rocky
Ford had one-fourth of an acre plant
ed to the Honey Dew melons. After
he had marketed a part of his crop
for $3.50 seed company paid him
outright $100 for he remainder of his
crop.
While the season on other melons
is drawing to a close it is said that
the Honey Dews will be shipped un-
til November l. The melons can be
stored after the weather becomes so
severe it will injure them and many
of the farmers will store them and
then ship to the markets later.

POSTAL RECORD PRAISES
CANON CITY'S HOSPITALITY

The Postal Record of Washington,
j.. c., monthly publication of the
National Association of Letter car
riers. has the following to say in its
October number of the fourteenth
annual convention of the Colorado
State Association of the National
Letter carriers, held in Canon City
on August 9Th. of this year:
TT would be difficult to imagine a
more delightful spot for such meet
ing than this charming little city of
nearly 10000 Inhabitants Almost
completely surrounded by mountains.
except a small opening to the south
east thru which the Arkansas river
winds its way down from the Grand
canon to the plains, Canon City has
beautiful and delightful environ
ment. Canon City is nestled right
at the portals of the Royal Gorge in
the midst of bounteous orchards, fer
tile fields. rich coal mines and Ma
lures grandest scenery; giving this
clean, polished little city the appear
ance of having been built in the
midst of a great and wondrous park.
At $3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon of
the day of the Canon City convention
the delegates and visitors were es-
corted to waiting automobiles in
which they enjoyed a most exhiler-
ating trip over the famous Skyline
drive, which is the most distinctive
feature of the many scenic attrac-
tions of the district. The drive is
a "hIghway" in every sense OF the
word for it extends for distance OF
more than three miles along the
crest of a rocky ridge thousand feet
above the town. From this eminence
a panoramic view of the surround
ing country is afforded that defes
description. The ride over the sky
line drive was followed by a brief
tour of inspection through the state
prison, which caused the members OF
the party to renew their VOWS to
"be good ever after"

SANTA FE RAILROAD
IS BUILDING GREATER
STORAGE WAREHOUSE

The feature of the welfare confer
ence having to do with the marketing
of fruit and vegetables developed the
fact that the Santa Fe railroad will
provide storage facilities for the Can
on City Fruit Growers Cooperative
association, which has a membership
of more than 800 producers in this
vicinity. The old warehouse owned
by the company and used by the as
sociation is in course OF reconstruc-
ton to meet the needs of the growers.
A sixty foot addition is a part of the
improvement, with basement under
the entire structure, the walls to be
of double thickness to protect pro-
ducts from frost.
Frank w. Myers of Pueblo, division
freight agent, thru whose efforts the
Santa Fe became interested in the
needs of Canon City producers, dis
cussed the market situation this NOR
ming. He said that the main trouble
in handling the Canon City apple
crop in big years had been the lack
of storage. forcing the growers to sell
their products upon a glutted mar
ket. With the new facilities, he said.
the producers would be able to hold
their apples till Christmas, or later.
and thus realize more satisfactory
return.
Mr.. Myers announced that the San
ia Fe had established an information
bureau to aid producers in finding
the most desirable markets, and this
would be at the service of the Canon
City association. Mr.. Meyers will
look after the work for the Arkansas
Valley.

BARN BURNED SATURDAY
NIGHT ON EGYPT ROAD
Barn On The Farm of j. Elliott Wad.
dell Destroyed, With Contents, In
Guiding Three Horses.

The barn on the farm Of Mr.. j..
Elliott Waddell, located on the
Egypt road, and known as the Geo.
H. Slacum farm, was completely de-
stroyed by a fire which broke out
after midnight Saturday. The fire
had gotten such Roadway when dis
covered that it was impossible to
save anything, and all of the farming
implements, hay, provender, and
three horses, which were stabbed in
the building, were burned.
Mr.. Waddell stated this morning
that he could not say exactly what
his loss is, as he had not had an OPP
portunity to schedule the articles
which were in the building at the
time, but that he was certain the
loss would amount to several hun
dred dollars. He also stated that the
building and contents were partially
| insured.
