HARLAN WOOD had opportun-
ity to go down into coal mine the
other day. After viewing where the
miners have to work and under what
conditions, one can hardly blame them
foy asking for more money and less
hours.

Chandler at O'Clock on Saturday
nights because almost the entire popn-
lation come TO Canon City Nearly
every one out here has a car Of some
sort. Business is unusually good
with US.
d. n. COOPER-The mining prof.
ects in the Wet Mountain valley are
taking on a greater activity every day.
At Rosita some veg good ore has
been struck, and there is but little
doubt in my mind but that this de
serted village will again take on re.
newed and permanent life.
VERDE CARTER-"Indian ,Jim's"
famous peach tree at the penitentiary
eXcites the wonderment of all the peo-
pie going through the pen at this time
of the year. because the peaches are
ripe and present a beautiful appear
ance. Jim is very proud OF this tree
the seed of which he planted several
years ago. Needless to say Jim inter
ests the visitors about as much as do
his peaches.
GEORGE w. BETHEL-The strikes
of the clothing makers in the East has
made fall shipments OF clothing for
men extremely slow. Suits are COM
ing in lots of four and five just like
they did last year during the war. The
quality and the workmanship. how

has ever been and that is something
to be thankful for.
JOHN SCHWEIGERT-Afte peo-
pie learn the full purpose of the Jew
ish Relief campaign they become en-
Unused in the cause. Indications are
that the campaign in Colorado will be
most successful from every stand
point
MRS. T. NJ. HARDING-If the peo-
pie of Canon realized what an asset the
Victory Girls were to the town and
what favorable impression they have
made on other communities. am sure
great deal more interest would be
taken in them. They need the whole
hearted support OF everyone of us.
They are going to Pueblo to sing for
President Wilson. and their conduct
no doubt will reflect honor upon Canon
City.
FRANK SINGER-Canon City's
Main street ought to be paved. II
you take a trip around the state or in
other states you will find towns about
half the size OF Canon City with paved
streets both front and back streets.
and there is no reason why an up-to-
date town like this shouldn't have
them
LEONARD HARvEY-The asses.
sor's rolls this year will show a large
increase in property ownership and
in new citizens throughout the county
Florence and Canon City especially
show many new residents.
JOHN HARRY-The farmers in
Kansas had plenty of wheat this year
but they didn't make much money out
OF it. There was too much expense.
Some had to plant their wheat tw'ce
and then they all had to pay high
wages to get anything done. made
as high as sS day as a harvest hand
and know OF others who made much
more than that
J.. w. FELTER-I think the best
time of the year for a vacation is
right now. enjoy getting into the
mountains about the time the Quakin'
gasps have put on their fall attire. 1t
is then that the mountains appear the
prettiest to me.
FRANK SINGER-Canon City is
pretty well represented with thirty
second degree Masons, and don't
mind saying that there are very few
lodges in the state with member
that high up in Masonry.
DIR. w. T. LITTLE-The cod spell
which we are enjoying hit the Cripple
Creek district with vengeance. II
