the campaign and will be able to send
in a clean list OF s1.5oo.00. The
Canon City high school sent check
for 1910 this morning which was from
the sale of eats" at the field day
meet. Yesterday a check for $500
came from a Canon City man who is

have signed up here as members of
the 2nd Regiment Colorado Infantry
on Wednesday night at Annex hall.
Park Ragsdale has been active in
recruiting these men and all have
signed up the regular army enlistment
blank.
This unit Vim be strengthened by
about IS men from Colorado Springs
and by almost as many from the Grip
pie Creek district who will be mus
tered in later in the week. This unit
will probably be known as Company
A. because it is the first to be re-
cruited up in the new regiment.
Judge Jesse C. Northcutt will be
commissioned Colonel of the regiment
and Congressman John A. Martin of
Pueblo will probably be one of the
Majors. He is now exerting every ef-
fort to raise a battalion in Pueblo
county.
The unit in Canon City under Rags
dale is still actively recruiting be-
cause a good many more men are
needed before the unit is brought up
to full war strength. After the mus
ter in the men Uill remain here un-

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
MAY BE SOLD TO u. S.

ANCON, c. T., June. 4-Reports
keep coming to the isthmus of grow
ing in ,linatlon on the part Of the PEG
pie OF Ecuador to offer the Galapagos
Islands for sale to the United States.
The handsome price PAID for the Virgin
Islands is said to have made a great
impression on Ecuadorians. The Gala
pages Islands have long been eco
nomically worthless to Ecuador, but
all suggestions to sell them have been
hailed by opposing politicians as an
intrigue to deliver the territory Of the
country into the hands of foreigners
1t may be that the conduct of the
United States toward Latin America
under President Wilson has mitigated
the distrust of the United States AMI
inclined the Ecuadorians to consider
more leniently American possession
Of the islands.
The Galapagos lie about eight hun
dred miles southwest of the canal
close to the road Of steamers plying
between the canal and New Zealand
Australia, and the rest of Oceania and
the lower East indies. 1t is asserted
that the site would be a strategic
point for naval operations, an outpost
in the defense of the canal, and
haven for ships Of peace or war in
vast stretch Of lonely sea. The popu
lation Of the group is reported as about
four hundred persons.
