duced railroad rates given in connec-
tion with inaugural week, the fourth
annual meeting of the COLORADO Metal
Mining association has been postpon-
ed until Jan. o. 10 and II. A rate of

amount of good for the mining indus
try. Leading mining men from all
over the state will be in Denver next
month for consultation regarding the
problems now confronting them by
reason of worldwide conditions af
fecting the industry.

ers and managers. leasers and others
has worked to advantage, and many
questions which might have become
serious and caused harm to the indus
try have been worked out thru care

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
THREE REMOVED

The community Christmas tree,
erected a week ago on the lawn of the
Y. M. C. A. at the instance of the
Canon City Civic Improvement league.

regret and disappointment of many of
the children of the towr.
They We're delighted on seeing it

imaginable.
While the community Christmas tree
and the ceremonies connected with it's
dedication have passed into history.
they have left behind a pleasant mem

next year. Those who are responsible
for the rearing of the beautiful Christ
mas tree on the Y. NJ. c. A. grounds
last week performed real service for
the people of the community and are
entitled to all praise for their public
spiritedness and enterprise.
1t has been suggested that a huge
pine should be dug from it's native son

planted on the Y. NJ. C. A. grounds
where it could be used as a perennial
Christmas tree from year to year.
The cost of removing and trans
planting such tree would be consid-

enty-five or hundred dollars. but the
results in the happiness 1t would bring
the little folks would be sufficient to
warrant the expense if the money was
available for such purpose.

INDIAN WARS SOL
OIERS' PENSION BILL

Mr.. Henry Hegwer, commander in
chief of the United Indian War Vet
Grams. is again in Washington. d. c.,
to plead with the president and con-
gress to pass the pending bill that will
give the soldiers of the Indian wars
the pension they SO justly deserve for
protecting the early settlers on the
western frontier.
No soldier ever rendered more gal
liant and braver service and endured
more hardships than did they. Fight
ing savages in the desert can never
be compared with civil warfare. When
taken prisoners by these savages one
was doomed to be tortured in every
way possible as long as life listed; in
many cases fingers and toes were cut
off and captives scalped while yet
alive.
The United War Veterans are in
need of the names of the soldiers Cor
their widows) who will be benefited by
this act now pending and they will be
glad to give any information desired

To Live LOn6l

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: aKeep the kidneys in
good orderi Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that other
wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating
meat as much as possible; avoid toomuch
salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vege.
table diet. Drink plenty OF water, and
exercise so you sweat-the skin helps TO
eliminate the toxicpoisons and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of in6am-
nation, as backache, scalding uwater,"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, urustyn joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This
is q wonderful eliminator OF uric acid
and was discovered by DR.. Pierce OF
1nvalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y. II your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is many times more
potent than lithia and that it dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar.

NILS 2SNU
BIG COTTONWOOD TREES,
0LO LANDMARKS, REMOVED

Some of the old landmarks along
the streets of Canon City in the shape
of big cottonwood trees. planted more
than a half a century ago. are being
cut down and sawed up for stove
wood. This is notably the case along
Macon avenue, from which half a doZ-
en- or more of these old-timers have
been removed during the last few
weeks.
Among the latest of these vegetable
patriarchs doomed to destruction were
three huge trees in front OF the Y. NJ.
C. A. building at the corner of Fifth
street and Macon avenue. lately felled
by the axe of ]. A. Van Horn. These
trees have for many years afforded
splendid shade during the summer
months, but have counteracted their
benevolence in that respect by filling
the air during the blooming season
with flying cotton that made it disa-
greeable for many people.
Some of the trees do not bear cotton
and have been saved for shade.
Last summer during the blossoming
and seeding period those trees produc-
ing cotton were marked for destruc-
ton in order that they might be cut
down in the winter months when the
frost had denuded them OF their leaf
age.
