STATE ID PAY ITS
 WITNESSES CASH

Beslnnlng tomorrow, the witnesses for the state in the criminal court and those summoned before the grand jury will be paid cash for their attendance. The wit nesses will receive $1 a day and 21a cents a mile for each day attending court. Only one fee each day can be collected, no matter how many ca ses a witness may be summoned in. In other words, if person is summoned to appear in five separate cases in one day and all the cases are settled, the witness is only en- titled to $1 and mileage.
 Clerk w. B. Copeland states that it IS highly important that witnesses report promptly to the clerks office when dis charged, in order that the records may show the amount of costs taxable to a defendant or to the state. Especially is it important in cases where a settlement is made, for after receipt in full of costs is made out, and the amount paid, it would be too late to bring in additional costs by failure to prove attendance.
 It is expected that the payment of witnesses by the state will prove of great saving to the state, as 1t will tend to insure the attendance of witnesses and there will be less cause for the con- tinuance of cases.

Washington, January 1.-(SpecialD ) Edward B.

 MT. Clark asserts:
 Roosevelt is not a candidate for

 Highly interesting is the statement of the journalist friend of the ex- President that in the opinion of poll- tlcians and laymen-he does not add New York and Wash . 1ngton, there are only two men in the United States capable of defeating fresident Wilson at the polls. He names Hughes and Roosevelt. In this connection it might be stated paren- thetically that in the opinion of demo- crats only one republican is worthy of consideration in the light of for midable Wilson opponent. He is Hughes.
 MT. Clark, however. contends that Roosevelt is equally as formidable, and adds that the tide of sentiment is fast turning to Roosevelt, thus holding out the hope that that man will be the nominee of the Chicago convention.

FIRE DEPARTMENTS
new ALARM SYSTEM

The Canon City Fire department
recently inst He'd and now has in op-
eration an adaptation of the Gamewell
alarm system. reglrded as one of the
most economical and efficient of its
kind. The new electric system.
which was worked out by w. B. Hol-
land. contains some original features.
and. TO that extent. is a modification
OF the Gamewell plan. A thirty-two
volt. dry battery. has been put in in
place of the thirty-six jar. blue vitrol,
battery heretofore used. All that is
necessary to re-charge the battery is
to pull lever and turn on the juice
from the electric generator at ". B.
Hollands shop on Main street. with
which it is connected by wire.
The installation Of the now battery
will cost the city less than a hundred
dollars and is expected to show a big
saving in maintenance over the old
method. Before the European war
broke out blue vitrol cost the city
something like nine cents pound in
barrel lots. II has since advanced in
price to between forty and tifty cents
a pound when purchased in quantity
and is difficult TO set even at that
figure. II cost the city approximately
two hundred dollars year to main.
tain the battery at tile fire depart
ment when blue vitrol was selling for
nine cents pound. and, at the pres
ent time. the outlay on that account
would be several times that amount.
The upkeep of the system under the
new plan will be nominal and its de
l.endability greatly increased.
