Canon Scenes

Mr. and Mrs. T, A. Boles of Oska-
loosa, Kansas, recently visited Canon
City.
The Tribune of Oskaloosa of Sept.
a has an interesting letter from
Mr.. and Mrs. Boles. A part of this let
ter is as follows:
"The weather is great-Californja
weather could not be finer. The sights
are wonderful. We have been over
the mountains through them and
around them The Skyline Drive is a
road built on the top of mountain
just back of the city. When on top
of this mountain you can see the steel
works at Pueblo, which is about so
miles east. and you can also see about
a dozen other towns.
I'VE took our dinner and spent
day on top of the Royal Gorge. This is
a wonderful sight. We stood on top
5000 feet to the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad and saw a through train GO
ing to Salt Lake City. II looked about
the size of toy train. We also had
view of Pixies Peak with its snow cap
and saw the Sanse de Christie range
They have fine roads here; the most
of them being built by convict labor
Main street is about miles long and
has home at either end-the county
farm at one and the state prison at
the other. They have mineral springs
iron and soda. We have visited
many coal mines and all are running
full blast. We have been to the
swimming pool and saw water spout
ing out of the ground from a depth of
100 feet; having a temperature of 96
degrees. We took a drive over noun
tain roads for about 30 miles and ran
at the rate of 30 milAs per hour. Our
next drive is over the new road from
Canon City TO Salida. This road was
also built by convicts and is blasted
out of solid rock: costing $4,000 to
build.
We went through the state prison
one day: it sure is well kept in
etitution. The enrolment was 63s.
Mrs. Doljie wray Gardiner accor,.
panied us: driving her Studebakcr
Six. on all Of our trips We are both
well and are enjoying ourselves. We
are much taken with the country.

ROUND CREST CENTRAL
PACK!MG PLANT OPERATES

The old rink on east Main street is
now used as central packing plant
by the Round Crest Canning company.
The company is buying tree-run ap
pies from the rancher and is packing
them according TO the highest stand
ard at this plant which is equipped
with the latest grading and packing
tables.
The company will buy any rancher's
apples in bulk from fancies to elders
They wi! nay the prevailing market
price or VIII contract for crop at a
fixed price in advance.
If a rancher so desires the company
will pack his apples for his account
After the apples are packed he may
sell them to the company or sell them
elsewhere A nominal sum is charged
for the grading and packing in either
case.
BY selling in bulk the rancher is
saved the trouble of packing and he
overcomes to great extent. the
present labor shortage.
The aim of the Round Crest people
is 10 raise the standard of the Canon
City pack and thus make it possible
for the apples 10 compete on any
market.
According 10 Mr.. Troutman the
ranchers are taking to the scheme
very well and many have signifed
their intention of taking advantage OF
the new service.
The canning factory this year will
use 100 cars of apples. This is an in
crease of 20 cars over last year. The
season on apples will extend well into
the winter and the management is ex
pecting very busy time of it.
