she commenced to pack.

many of the voters in the Fourth

IRRESPONSIBLE
FOR GORGE FIRE
IT'S THOUGHT

investigation into tho cause Of the
fire which destroyed the company
store at the Royal Gorge mine Tues.
day night sees to indicate that it was
the result of incendiarism.
According to Herman Loehr, gen
eral manager. there is nothing to indi'
cate that the fire started from spon.
taneous combustion or other similar
cause, and it is intimated that posi-.
bly, the fire was started to cover up
robbery of the store.
Sometime ago the store was robbed
but no trace of the robbers could be
found. The fact that fresh tracks of
an automobile were found near the
store shortly after the fire was discov-
cred and the further fact that no
trace can be found of quantity of su-
gar and certain other articles kept
in stock leads the authorities and the
company management to the robbery
theory.
Certain clues that have been un-
covered are being followed up in the
hope of getting adequate proof of this
supposition.
ut is estimated that the total loss
after the insurance is paid will be
about $1,000.

Cattle Dying in
Hillside Country

You are always telling the good
things about this winter weather
we've been having said John How
ard to this reporter this morning.
why don't you tell the people lit
tie about the dark side OF it?" We
admitted that we were optimistic, but
that our policy. was to be fair even to
the weather man, and that II he had
been pulling OF some dirty deeds. we
would be glad to tell the people about
it.
Mr.. Howard says that in his recol-
lection this has been the worst winter
since about 1880. He had reference
particularly to the Hillside country
and the Wet Mountain valley. He
says that the snow up there is laying
uniformly on the ground, and because
of the steadiness and regularity of the
SHOWS the sun hasn't had a chance to
dispel it.
This has made it extremely hard
upon cattle, which is one of the main
industries of this section. and many
Of them have died despite the best ef-
forts Of the owners. The constant
snow has made it necessary to feed
all winter loEg, making it very ex-
pensive for the cattle men.

CANON BOY WHO
DIED FIGHTING
Is PRAISED BY
THE RED CROSS

Sergt. Elmer johnson, Company NJ.
Sixtieth Infantry, A. E. F.. who died
in action in the Argonne forest on
August IL, is highly praised Tor his
bravery. his attention to duty and his
high qualities as a man and as sol
dier.
johnson was a popular Canon City
boy, the son of Mrs. E. C. Cowles.
and the brother of r. B. Johnson OF
the Pepper creamery. He worked for
awhile as paper hanger for Charles
Keys and was also employed by the
Pepper Creamery Company.
w. r. Castle, Jr., of the Red Cross,
pays stirring tribute to his record
as a soldier. A letter from him to
Mrs. Cowles, recently received. fol-
lows:
e. c. Cowles. Route 2, Box 10. Canon
City, Colorado:
Ny Dear Mr.. Cowles-We have to.
day an account by member Of Com
pany M. Sixtieth Infantry. of the
death Of your son, Sergt. Elmer John
son. and 1t speaks with such high
praise Of him that know the report
will fill you with pride.
1t seems that Sergt Johnson led a
patrol of II men into the German line
for the purpose Of burning a cannon
log fence. They got as far as the
German barbed wire when they were
ambushed. and only nine men re-
turned. These facts were gathered by
Red Cross authorities on the follow
ing day. Our informant adds that
Sergt. johnson was not only consid-
cred the best sergeant in the com
pany. but the best in the battalion.
He came as private and his conduct
was such that he not only was pro.
NOTED, but was given very important
work to do, and was responsible for
information in regard to German
lines. At one time he went out to get
the location of German trench, TAX.
ing one corporal with him, and they
got within two miles in back Of the
German lines, defeating a German pa
troll of IS men and succeeded In get
ting away with the desired informa-
tion.
In spite Of the sorrow In the loss Of
your son, his record will certainly do
much to help you in your trouble. Sin.
cerely yours.

the honors, although the others were
more than ordinarily meritorious. Mr.

quality, smooth and even throughout

and with much intelligence. Miss
Stallings has strong, resonant voice
which she uses with excellent judg-
meEt ard good taste Miss StallInes
towards the end of the program, after
an hour and half Of strenuous work,
gave, as though inspired, a remark
able rendition of "The Star Spangled
Banner" which fairly thrilled the aud
fence.
Miss Schultz made her success as a
reader rather than as a singer. Miss
Cariey's work as a pianist was first

complishment Mr.. Guarino is ar

Great Subject
Admirably Handled

The lecture of Rev. DR.. Samuel
Garvin of Colorado Springs at the
First Presbyterian church here Tues
tions in England. Scotland and France
and his experiences with the Amer
lean troops on the firing line was one
Of the most notable discourses OF the
kind heard here in q long time. 1t
was a dramatic. masterful address
and revealed conditions ''over there"
both in civil life and in the trenches,
with a realism and vividness that had
not previously been presented In SO
charming a manner to Canon City
audience. Always entertaining and
instructive, DR.. Garvin surpassed him
self Tuesday night in eloquence and
in the interesting, delightful character
of his narrative. The applause of
the assemblage was an emphatic token
of its pleasure and enjoyment.
DR.. Garvin was in Europe for seven
or eight months in connection with Y.
NJ. c. A. enterprises among the sol
dier boys, and was afforded excep-
tional opportunities for study of the
state of affairs there, in non combat
ant communities, as well as on the
battle lines. and he made the most of
his privileges to gather information
at first hand.
DR.. Garvin paid magnificent tri,.
butte to the British people and what
they had accomplished in four years
and four months of war with Ger
many.
France, no less than England, was
praised by Dr. Garvin for her splen-
did defense of liberty and righteous
ness. Without her. he said, despot-
ism would have extended its sway
beyond the Rhine and made the peo-
pie of Western Europe the slaves and
vassals of an irresponsible autocracy.
OF the American soldier in France
the speaker had only words of COM
mendation and praise. He was. as
serted DR.. Garvin, the embodiment
of bravery, of conservation to duty
and of charity and kindness of heart.
His presence in war zones stimulated
the French, English and Belgians and
turned the tide of battle in favor of
the Allies. He is, declared DR.. Gar
win, unsurpassed as a fighting man
and had the war gone on for another
year the German army would have
been overwhelmed by 100000 of his
kind. That was the number of men
that tie United States had pledged
herself to place upon European soil
before the end of 1919, force un-
equaled in number since the days of
Xerxes.
The American soldier will not be
spoiled by his experiences in Europe,
continued DR.. Garvin, but will come
home with a broader vision of life
and a stronger determination than
ever to do hi spart in the exaltation of
his country and in teh advancement
of covilization. Most of the boys. he
concluded, will come home fr IN over
seas better than when they went
away from Us. Don't worry about
the American soldier boy; he will
take care of himself" announced the
speaker in closing.
Tuesday evenings gather ns flied
the church to its capacity. The
meeting was presided over by D. w
Ross. who introduced the speaker.
Mrs. Mack Wilson delighted the audi
ence with a vocal solo. The bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev
Charles J. Armentrout-
DIR. Garvin spoke to the students
OF the CaLon High School Tuesday
afternoon.
