THIRD SNOWSTORM OF
SEASON VISITS CANON

The third snowstorm OF the season
for the Upper Arkansas valley fell
Tuesday afternoon and the follow
ing night The storm appears to
have been pretty general thruout the
state. but seems 10 have been great
er along the eastern slope OF the Con-
tinental divide than elsewhere. IN
the Canon City district the precipita-
tion was between five and six inches
and was of the heavy clinging kind.
The moisture resulting from the snow
will put the ground in excellent condi-
ton for the winter.
The storm, coming as did during
q election. was portentious to many
people and the partisans of the presi-
Dental candidates joked each other
without stint about the showing un-
der" of the opposition party.

prevail You understand. however,
that the classification of the position
does not classify the incumbent and

ing for his passage on ship-board.
He has visited twenty six countries in

Papers were filed with Recorder
Bisplinghoff yesterday, containing the
information that Chas. P. Damron of
Newport, Arkansas, has become the
owner of the fine Shannon property
on College Hill. Mr.. Damron has
been the owner of $40 acres of fine
land in Arkansas and this was put in
on the trade.
The Shannon's home is one of the
very finest and most expensive in
town. The grounds comprise half a
city block and in addition to the main
residence there is nice two-story
residence on the east end. While the
hedges are a little overgrown and the
lawn needs attention, the property is
really in first class repair and with q
little attention will be one of the show
places of the town.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Damror
with his family will move here in the
very near future. He is practicine
law in Newport now and will engage
in that profession here.
Mr.. Damron is man of whom any
town may be proud. Before going tc
