Here Are Some Of the Things
That Have Been Accomplished
In Canon City by Organized Effort

Freight rates and express rates
have been adjusted favorably several
times thru the efforts OF Chamber of
Commerce committees saving the
community more than the chamber
of Commerce has ever cost.
The ID, & r. C. station was built
after long effort on the part of the
Chamber of Commerce and the City
Council
Last year the Chamber of Com
nieree saved the community more
than il cost in one little effort alone
-and that was in discouraging and
blocking the games OF numerous

Chamber Of Commerce.
The Arkansas River is being stock
ed with trout thru the Chamber of

toward Canon City in increasing
numbers by various efforts of the
Chamber OF Commerce.
EseO year a Chamber of Com
mefce does a hundred and one little

people who come this way, fathering
local welfare efforts OF one kind and
another. assisting and supporting all
civic associations and community eff
forts. organizing local fete days and

con avenue as postoffice; the con
tract to run until April LIST. 1927. un-
less sooner cancelled by the lessee
The lease. like all other compacts OF
the kind made by it, is terlninable by

desire to annui the agreement
Under the new arrangement a par
tition will be built and twenty-three
and half feet of the back part OF
the room occupied as real. estate
and insurance office by Henry Hut

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WANT ROAD MONEY

The county commissioners In their
conference At Denver last week with
the members OF the state highway
commission asked for $4,000 OF pub
lie money for road improvements in
Fremont county this year; practically
Parkdale. coaidale and Beaver Creek
hills. As all OF the work is TO be
done on the most heavily travelled
highways OF the county II is only right
that the state should bear It's full
share of the financial burden which
the proposed improvements will en-
tail. The present road over Parkdale
mill has grade OF fifteen per cent and
at Coaldale the hill is seventeen per
cent The grade on Beaver creek hill
" fifteen per cent. To prevent the
possibility Of accident and make these
reads traversable to all kinds OF We
hicles ie IL absolutely necessary to
reduce the gradient by the adoption
Of a new route OF travel. This will
cost considerable money, but the ben.
eiit to be derived from It will be worth
many times the expenditure.
For the work to be done in these
special Instances the county commits.

squadron was carried out, although
binding snow swirled into the hang
ar, where tree had been erected for
100 children of a nearby village
When the youngsters had gathered at
the hangar, Santa Claus who was an
American corporal, climbed into a big
machine at nearby hangar. Fifteen
minutes later, the aeroplane dropped
to the snow covered fields.
The children had been told that San
ia had abandoned his old sleigh for
an airplane, but they did not believe it
until they saw him come down from
the skies. In all the units entertain
ing children, each small guest receiv-
