Mr.. CLYDE C. DAWSON
ANNOUNCES THAT He WILL
NOT Be CANDIDATE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATE
Denver. Co:o. June 8. 1917.

Denver, Co:o, Jnne 8, 1917.
Mr.. Guy u Hardy.
Canon City. Colorado.
Ny Dear Mr.. Hardy: j
Your very kind letter OF June 4th,
saying that friends Of mine were be-
ginning to inquire whether or not
intended to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the United
States senate in 1918 received.
Your letter comes at an opportune
time for 20 many inquiries of like
character have been addressed to me
in the past few months as to lead me
to feel that in fairness to inquiring
friends and other possible candidates
I should make some public announce
ment of my intentions in this behalf.
IL you will be good enough to give
this letter space in your paper. !
would like thus TO avail myself of the
opportunity to thank my many friends
for the interest shown in my inten-
tions.
concluded that will not be candi-
date for nomination il 1918, and my
friends. including prospective candi-
dates for United States senator. may
rely upon this as fnal.
To those who SO cordially gave me
their support in the campaign of 1912
and those who at this time have ex-
pressed a desire to support me, ex-
press a deep sense of appreciation
and obligation. Any citizen of this
state might well feel proud to repre-
sent Colorado in the United States
senate. ! admit an ambition in that
direction, but am a man Of moderate
means and feel that cannot AFFORD to
abandon my professional activities in
the hope of political preferment.
The senator to be chosen by Colora-
do in 1918 should be a real man in
every sense of the word, a man of
character, integrity and ability. There
will be then, as there has been in the
past three years, questions OF great
and commanding importance to solve
and settle. Our senator should be
something more than q mere politi
clan. He should be statesman with
real vision. able to divine some Of the
things in advance as well as TO dis
cover them after they have come te
pAss.
With kind personal regards. am
Sincerely yours.
CLYDE c. DAWSON.

seriously, hurt in an automobile &C.
cident on Greenwood avenue about
O'Clock Thursday night. Young Goess-
Ling was driving fiye-passenger car
at fair rate Of speed in company
with Miss Fern Rutherford Of South
Canon when the unfortunate affair
occurred. Miss Rutherford sustained
number of slight cuts and bruises.
but they were not of a sufficiently
distressing character to give her q
great deal of concern. Neither Of the
occupants of the car were thrown
from their seats By the impact. aitho
both were given a severe JOLT and
shaking up by it.
Near the intersection OF Greenwood
avenue and Fourth street a ditch had
been dug part of the way across
the roadway by the gas company for
the purpose of laying some pipe lines
AM lanterns showing a red light were
placed along it to prevent anybody
from running into the trenches during
the darkness, as required by the city
ordinances.
Coming down Greenwood avenue
from the west Mr.. GoessIing was un-
able to see the warning lights because
of an intervening rise in the street
until he was close upon them. He
could not discern very clearly in the
darkness just how long trench
had been opened by the gas company
an dto avoid the possibility OF getting
into II he steercd his machine on
strongly to the left side OF the road
way and ran into a huge cottonwood
tree on the edge OF the sidewalk.
The collision was OF sufficient force
to smash the front left wheel OF the
car into kindling wood and double up
the fender into shapeless mass Of
useless metal. In some manner young
icoessiing sustained an ugly gnsh- on
one side OF his head and two or three
minor scalp wounds. In addition he
suffered q number of bruises and on
tuaions. but no bonos were broken,
He was rendered unconscious for =
few moments. Miss Rutherford and

after the accident took the unfortun-
ate young man to the hospital. where
his wounds were dressed and where
he was made as comfortable as possi-
bic. He is reported to BE- getting along
very nicely today and II is expected
that he viii soon be able to be on the
streets again.
The friends OF the victims OF the
accident were congratulating them on
getting of as easily as they did. It
is considered remarkable that their
Injuries were not worse.

FORESTRY RESERVE
SUPERVISOR CONSULTS
WITH LOCAL MEN


A. G. Hamil OF Westclife, super
visor of the San Isabel forestry re-
serve. was in Canon City on wednes-
day In consultation with Gov. Pea
body. chairman of the. ways and
means committee OF the Fremont
County Home Protection league. in
relation to a closer cooperation in
matters of national defense. The sub
jects discussed Included the encour-
agement of greater agricultural deyel-
opment and the conservation Of the
food supply to meet public necessi-
ties.
Mr. Hamn says the forestry serv-
ice will be glad to sssist In every way
II can to promote the increase If
food stufrs in the territory eontig-
uous TO its work during the continu-
ance of the war both for the American
people and their allies ACROSS the sea.
Acting under instructions from
Washington the forestry supervisors
said Mr. Hamil. have granted many spe-
cial permits this year for the cultiva.
ton of agricultural crops on the re-
serves in Colorado and has increased
the grazing allowance with view Of
adding to the beef supply OF the state.
The reserves have also been opened
to cattlemen earlier this year than
usual. The forestry service is also
endeavoring to do its bit TO meet the
exigencies brot about by the war by
helping farmers and ranchers to OBJ
tain seed from which to grow food
stuffs for themselves and the markets
at large.
In speaking of the snowfall in the
mountains OF Chaffee. Custer. Huer-
fano and other counties along the
Sangre de Christie range Mr.. Hamil
says the precipitation was greater dur
ing the past winter than for many
years. At Greenwood in Custer coun-
ty the snowfall was 167 inches. or a
little more than thirteen feet. At
Westcline il was nearly $50 inches:
At Greenwood an accurate record OF
the snowfall was kept BY J. J. Lowell.
who made measurements according to
the government formula The snow-
fall At Westcltne is estimated, but -
believed 70 be approximately correct.
Most Of the SNOW fell Ia the territory
alluded TO during the mopths Of Feb
ruary and March The pEeeipitatton
during the earlier part OF the winter
was less than normal Because OF the
late. cold spring the snov In the
mountains is melting very slowly. ac-
cording to Mr.. HamIl. On some Of the
watersheds OF the state the snowfall
has been less this year than usual.
Mr.. Hamil. who has been In charge
Of the San Isabel reserve for six years.
says an immense amount of damage is
caused every year by forest fires and
of trouble and annoyance to the rang
ers, who are on constant lookout for
them. During 1916 more than 5000
acres of land were burned over in
the San Isabel reserve alone. result
ing in the destruction OF many thou
sands Of dollars worth of timber.
Already we have had three rather
serious fires on the reserve this year."
asserted Mr.. Hamil. "and we cannot
tell how many more are in store for
U.S."
Mr.. Hamil left Wednesday night for
'ueblo to confer with the city author

municipal picnic and camping grounds

The FIRST Line OF DEFENSE

Pure blood is the body's first line Of
defense against disease. -.
Healthy blood contains small
amounts Of antitoxins that neutralize
the poisons Of invading germs or de-
stroy the germs themselves. That is
why so many people exposed to dis
case do not contract it. Those whose
blood is weak and therefore lacking in
defensive power are most liable to in
lection. Everybody may observe that
healthy, red-bloodcd people are less
liable to attacks of cold and the grip
than are pale, bloodless people.
TO build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household
word for a generation, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do tho rest.
