gram Tuesday, morning announcing
1.-THE death of her nephew, John Low

la great shock to her as well as his
numerous friends in Monterey.
No particulars as to the cause OF
death have been learned, but MI.
FIowman had gone to Pennsylvania
to attend the funeral of his sister
who was killed when her automobile
was struck by train, and while
| there he became suddenly ill, was
taken to a hospital in Harrisburg,
where he died.
Mr.. Lowman had many warm
friends and admirers in this section.
Ten years ago he contracted for and
built the Masonic Temple in Monte
rey, and~a year later the Monterey
Garage on Main street and the resi-
dence now owned by Adam Stephen
son at Vanderpool. He was man
approaching middle age, and was
recognized as a christian gentleman.
He leaves a wife and two or three
sisters.
The sad blow falls with special
severity on Mrs. Hiner, it being the
third sudden death in her family in
as many weeks, and in her three-fold
affection she has the sympathy of her
friends and neighbors.
She and her son, Jesse Hiner, left
Tuesday afternoon to attend the fun
eral at Dayton.

Chamber of Commerce and the Tourist

The Chamber of Commerce. through
the directors and Secretary E. A
Bradbury. have plans outlined and al
ready being put in effect. to bring
more tourists this way this year. No
matter what may be said against it.
the visits of tourists TO any town is
profitable. They all leave more or less
money even if their stop is only for
a few hours. But best of all the i'm
pressions they gain on their visit stay
with them fora long time, and If the
impressions are favorable they are
told TO others who are impressed in
the telling.
In that way a town, and especially
a western town with remarkable
scenic points of unusual and disfmc-
tive grandeur such as Canon City has,
is advertised to very valuable extent
While never overlooking any oppor-
tunity to present the advantages of
Canon City as an Industrial location
nor its remarkable climatic supe-
riority over other sections of the west

as leading reason for the building
of sanftariums and hospitals here,
the Chamber of Commerce is devoting
a goodly portion OF its efforts this
year to bringing the tourists here
This is to be the biggest year of
them all in the matter Of tourists. The
war kept so many. away for so long
that they are coming in fiocks during
the summer OF 1918. And we will be
glad to see them.
We can all help the chamber in its
efforts to large extent by doing some
intensive boosting on our own part.

WHY NOTABUILDING BOOM HERE


Every community you hear about or
read about is enjoying some kind of a
building boom. For some reason or
Othe the germ has not found its way
TO Canon City yet However, there
are insurmountable reasons why it
should not,
Not a day passes but VII 1t from
'wo to seven peop,e come to The Rec
ord Office looking for houses to rent.
The majority of these people are new
comers who want neat, modern. up-to-
date homes of from five to 10 rooms
The matter OF rent doesn't seem to
bother them They are viii ing to pay
a reasonable amount. but the rentable
houses are few and far between. The
real estate men have the nothing do
ing" sign out most OF the time, and
when house is advertised for rent
in The Record there are always sew
eral anxious applicants.
There are quite a number of houses
in Canon City that are not renting
because they are either not modern or
because they are in bad state of re
pair. Before starting campaign for
new houses, of course. the logical and
economical thing to do would be for
these property owners to modernize
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1919-04-10

and improve these places as matter
of profit to themselves. There ap-
pears TO be a great deal of sense in
the statement that few hundred dol
lars spent in this way viii transform
a non-productive. money-eating piece
of property which seems to exist only
to make taxes. into a valuable. income-
making asset. The outlay TO: I'M
proyements would be rsturned IA
few months in splendid rentals which
can be asked and easily procured. The
demand has been ever-present for the
past year or more.
Some of the properties we have
seen do not need much more than rwo
coats of paint. a board and sh ngle
or two and little general cleaning
to put them in first-c'ass shape. Some
of the far-sighted wise ones have been
getting hold of these Places at ridic-
ulous figure, fixing them up for a small
amount and then selling them at
handsome profit Why can't the pres
ent owners OF other property do much
the same thing?
A building or rather. an improve
ment boom along these lines would be
benefit to the individual and to the
town Let's have IL.

Fruit Industry Facing determination

would seem that many of the trials
and tribulations have been left in the
past At least horticulturists who
are competent to judge think SO.
Any man can get any kind of an
growing industry in these parts, but
the fact remains that apples have
done this community a great deal of
good. and are going to do more. and
the wise man who puts out new or
chards no,. viii be thankful for it 10
years from now.
Strawberries, gooseberries and cur
rants are being more or less neglected
too. Men who have Investigated say
that new plants and new bushes are
not being planted in any number from
year to year, and the old stands are
dying out at an alarming rate. These
small fruits are money-producers
nearly every year. and the time has
been when they furnished the grower
most OF the income he received. It
is said that the quantity production
OF strawberries nthis territory this
year VIII not be as large as we ought
to expect because of the lack of beds.
The price will, NO doubt, be high for
that reason. and those who have
strawberries are going to reap prof
liable harvest il climatic conditions
do not destroy the crop.
This matter win certainly bear in

orally. At least some thought about

Splendid Average
Made Last Year
Growing Tomatoes

A Record reporter his morning had
the opportunity TO look over the rec.
ords Of the Colorado acking Corpora.
tion with reference TO the tomatoes
that were handled by them from the
respective growers during 1918. Some
remarkable production ngures were
disclosed, one man having reaped 13
tons on Of = quarter OF an acre. This.
of course. was above the average
But the important point noted by the
reporter was the high average made
per acre Some OF the tomato grow
ers last year were hit by the hail, and
their total production of course Was
cut considerably. the loss averaging
from 10 10 is per cent in the hail belt
However. in order TO get fair aver
age the reporter took the crop record
of 10 who were hailed and of 10 who
were not The average from these 20
showed that the average yield was
1874 tons to the acre. which. figuring
at this years price. would mean sl62
an acre.
OF course in good year the vie d
would be more than that. so that TO.
mato growing is easily seen to be a
money-making proposition.

This spring several orchards were
pulled up to make way for other
crops. Most of them. it is true, were
old orchards and needed the fate they
received. but the significant fact, in
the opinion of far-sighted horticultur
lists. is that few if any new trees were
set out to take the place of those
pulled up.
These horticulturists who know the
valley well say that if such a state
of affairs continues the short period
OF 10 years win see the end of the
fruit industry in terms Of quality and
quantity production in this valley.
There isn't any doubt but that the
determination Of some of the older
trees is good thing. because many
unstable varieties that have not
measured up to the demands Of the
present day market But if we are to
have apples in quantity and quality
in the years to come new trees should
take the place of the old.
