WATER TURNED ON N
GREENWOOD CEMETERY

Water was turned on in Greenwood
cemetery for the FIRST time at o'clock
this afternoon and il will hereafter
be available there for sprinkling pur
poses. Great credit is due those who
took up the matter of securing water
for use there. as well as to the city
council for its liberal policy in rela-
ton to the undertaking. Altho Green
wood cemetery is. probably the oldest
burying ground in Fremont county,
having been dedicated and set apart
as resting place for the dead for
more than half a century. not until
the laying of the Empire Zine com
pany's pipe line few months ago,
could drop Of water be coaxed with
in its borders by means Of any ditch
right or gravity process
Heretofore. the phrase Greenwood
cemetery" has been u misnomer, as
II was impossible to induce anything
to grow there because OF the lack OF
sufficient moisture TO produce vegeta-
ton. Its barren. arid appearance has
been the subject of much unfayorable
comment from visitors and much re-
greet to the people OF the community.
Its condition. however. was not much
matter of neglect as 1t was OF engi-
neering difficulty and but little. IL
any real blame for its abandoned look
could be made to attach TO its friends.
Now that water has been pIped to the
cemetery. grass. flowers and trees can
be grown and the grounds transform-
ed into a place of beauty as becomes
Gods acre" The magic touch of
water upon the soil of Greenwood
cemetery will work a miracle by trans
muting II from a desert into garden
or arboreal beauty where there IS
heard the song of birds and is seen
the gorgeousness OF the summers
bloom.
1t cost the friends Of Greenwood
cemetery approximately one thousand
dollars 10 get the water to its confines.
but IL was money well expended. and
IL is hoped. they will never have
cause to regret their enterprise and
public spiritedness in undertaking the
proposition.

all right. Capt. Sprinkle is a broth
er of Ben w. Sprinkle of Canon City
and was glad to see somebody who
knew his brother.
met another of the Sprinkle
brothers here Lieutenant Sprinkle of
the city police. He is in charge of
a station with about so policemen
under him. In his precinct live about
10000 negroes AID $4,000 whites
but to the casual observer. you know
1000 negroes look like much larger
crowd than 1000 whites. They show
up to better ADVANTAGE. Lieut. Sprin-
kle told me that there are about 900
policemen in the city and besides 800
U. S. government policemen who
police capitol and government
grounds. Now you would think that
1900 policemen would fill little city
like this pretty full, yet have hard
ly ever been able to find a policeman
when / need one 20 ask about car
lines or street locations. In the in
terest of the thousands of strange
folks who come here and cannot find
their way about l think the police
force ought to be greatly enlarged.

TRIP TO WESTCLIFfE
ENJOYED BY EXCURSIONISTS

The annual excursion over the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad to West
cliffe in the Wet Mountain valley
which took place on Sunday, attracted
a large crowd Of people; about one
hundred and fifty persons from Pue

dred and fifty was taken on board the
special train at Florence and Canon
City and a delightful time was en-
joyed.
The excursionists were somewha,
delayed on the outward trip owing TO
a freight wreck ahead OF them. They
were late in reaching westcliffe, but
there was enough daylight left on ar.
irving at their destination to enable
them to see the beauties Of the noun
tain scenery in that portion OF Custer
county. After Saturdays rainy wealth.
er a small crowd was expected but
hose who took the trip enjoyed il
immensely and were provided with a
delightful day.
The excursion train returned to
Pueblo last night. reaching here short
ly after II o'ciock-Pueblo Chief-

BEAVER PARK TO HAVE
A FAIR FRUIT CROP

AS before stated in these columns.
the fruit crop always develops much
better than is at first anticipated af-
ter a late frost. Nearly every spring
we view with alarm" and every fall
we point with pride" as our Re
publican friends were once wont to re
mark.
Apparently it is again so this year
in this section. Since the freeze on
the night of April 29th the fruit buds
have developed surprisingly and in
some parts of the park cherries will
be 100 per cent crop, with plenty
OF buds TO spare. while in others the
crop will be about 75 per cent. ow-
ing to the variety grown.
The apples seem TO. be making a
heroic effort TO develop buds for
good crop. and none can at this time
say what the per cent will be, but it
is safe to state that We will have
many more apples than was expected.
The Roman Beauty gives promise OF
full crop. and the Johnathan. Wine
sap and delicious will all bear this
year on the older trees. There will
be peaches aIso-in some parts a good
crop. The peach trees are now bur
ding for the third time this year.
Reports for the Canon City district
are very encouraging. dispatch
from there dated a week ago says:
During the past few days the buds
have come forth rapidly and nov
promise a good crop in practically all
varieties. The early cherries and
some early varieties OF apples will be
short in some localities. but the
Montmorency and English Murillc
cherries and the Roman Beauty. Ben
Davis and other varieties Of winter
apples promise a bumper, crop. Orch
ards are looking fne."-Penrose Press
