GOV. MANNING KILLS DEER.
States Chief Executive Also Bags 3S
Ducks.

GEORGETOWN, Dec. 2S.-"The time
of my life is the way Governor Man
ming characterized his stay of few
days as the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
NJ. Baruch at their delightful win
ter home, Hobcaw, near Georgetown.
Yesterday the governor and his party,
DIR. Williams and Mr.. Benet, were
taken on deer drives. Accompanying
them as the guests of the popular
host were several Georgetown citizens
and friends from New York. The lat
ter were Mr.. Richard Leyden and Dr.
A. J. Wittson, while the local friends
were Col. Hugh L. Oliver, of the gov
ernor's staff; Mr.. w. H. Fraser, DR..
w. H. Moorer and DR.. Durant, State
fish commissioner. Four drives were
made of the deer and twenty of the
leet-footed animals were Jumped oy
the dogs. Six were killed, Governor
Manning getting one, DR.. Williams
one, Mr.. Christie t"o, LII. Noolei ono
and Mr.. Fraser one.
Last night the party spent at the
lodge in the marshes and this morn
ing started in to shoot ducks. The
sport was royal and Governor Man
ming killed thirty-eight of the web
footed birds, while DR.. Williams
bagged ia and Mr.. Christie fourteen.
DR. Williams says it was not a very
good day for shooting either, but the
rest of the party declares he was
s.spoofng." Mr.. Christie had never
killed a deer before and he was inltl-
ated in true and ancient manner oy
being literally covered with the blood
of the animal he slew.

SAY THEY LOST THEIR JOBS.
Governor Receives Letters from Men
of First Regiment.

Columbia, Dec. i30.-Gov. Manning
has received several letters from
members of the First regiment who
lost their positions because of their
absence for several months on the
Mexican border while in the service
of the United States government.
The men gave up their positions IN
response to the call of their country
and several of them had lucrative en-
ployment. On their return home af-
ter being mustered out they found
others in their places. The COVER
nor is doing all he can to find these
men employment and asks anyone in
the State who could give employment
to worthy and competent citizens to
communicate with him in Columbia,
and he will furnish them the names
and references to the men seeking
employment. --.~.' ,..-. 49,
Governor Manning told the men of
the first regiment that if they had
any trouble in getting employment on
their return to their homes or found
others in their old positions to inform
him and he is anxious to see every
one of these patriotic men placed in
positions. They can be had for bank
clerks, clerks in dry goods or other
stores, farm employees, and in other
capacities. No figures of the number
who are deprived of means OF liveli-
hood through joining the National
guard are available, but the governor
wants anyone who is in position to
give these worthy men employment to
write him Immediately so he can fur
nish them with the names and refer
ences of the man or men who would
fill the place.

HEAVY SHOWS PROVIDE
- BIG WATER SUPPLY

The heavy snow storms that have
occurred this month have created an
immense water storage supply in the
mountains which top every watershed
in the entire state Almost as much
snow has been laid down on the
mountains during the past two weeks
as fell during all the rest of the win
ter.
With the increase in the storage
snow in the mountains ample water
is assured for all irrigation pro
iects along the Arkansas river. The
government weather bureau station In
Pueblo keeps a monthly record of the
snowfall in the mountains and the
depth attained. While the February
records will be greatly increased by
the March SHOWS that have fallen. the
storage snow in February was about
normal for most parts of the state.
At the end of February the depth
Of snow for the winter season was
reported on the following watersheds: !:
South Platte. II inches. with water
content equivalent to 3.ot inches :
North Platte. IS inches. with water
content of 4.7s inches; Arkansas. is
inches. with water content of 3.s4
inches; Rio Grande. IS inches. with
water content of 4.7s inches, and the

THE ROYAL
GORGE PICTURES
ARE GREAT

The pictures of the Skyline drive,
the Royal Gorge and the Mesa Verde
National park, shown at the opera
house Friday night under the auspi-
ces of the Canon City Chamber of
Commerce. fully measured up to pub
lie expectations in the excellence of
their character. They were far and
away the best of their kind ever seen
here and attracted general admira-
ton.
There was a big crowd out to see
them and the opera house was crowd
ed to the limit at the first perform
ance. There was also large attend
ance at the second showing of these
remarkable pictures. altho the throng
was not SO great as it was earlier in
the evening.
So pleasing were they and so strong
was the demand from the public to get
look at them that they were dis
played again at the opera house at s
o'clock this afternoon in the presence
of good patronage.
The program opened by depicting
on the screen six beautiful coIored
stereopticon slides of the Skyline
drive and the Royal Gorge. reproduc-
ed from photographs taken last sum
mer by Geo. L. Beam. They are mas
terpieces of their kind. They were
followed by a movie film showing the
Skyline drive hn
in all of their moods and lenses, all
OF them marvellousIy attractive and
realistic. The Royal Gorge picture
showed the famous canon from many
angles. There was a panoramic view
from the top and scores of scenes
from the railroad track at the bot
tom. presenting its curves. intersect-
ing guiches and the rugged grandeur
of the cliffs on either side. railroad
train was shown coming down thru
the gorge with such likeness to the
reality that one almost expected to
hear the whistle for the right of way.
These wonderful pictures were
loaned to the Chamber of Commerce
by Mr.. Wadleieh. general passenger
agent of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad company. in order that they
might be seen by the people of Canon
City. Their beauty aroused the ad-
miration of thousands Of theatre-goers
in such cities as Chicago. ST Louis.
St Pa1. Minneapolis. Omaha and
Denver and our people had a great
treat in being privileged to witness
them.
There were thirty-one slides or still
pictures of the Mesa Verde National
park. which were explained by L. W.
Felter. who has visited that wonder
section of the southwest. after which
two reels of movies we're put on to
still further interest the audience in
that marvellous reservation. destined
in the future to become one of the
greatest pleasure resorts of the coun-
try. Mr.. Felter's explanations height
ened the enjoyment OF the Mesa Verde
National park pictures. which are
splendid productions.
