Baseball Tourney
at Florence
The Florence Citizen ;


+. Representatives OF the Rockysle
and Coal Greek baseball teams visited
Florence last night for the purpose
OF entering the tournament to be
played on July 4 aad s. Canon City
had partly promised to send down
representatives of its team. but no
one showed up from the county seat.
II wns stated at tho meeting that
the Canon City team Is arranging for
n game with Pueblo to be played at
the county seat on July 5th as coun-
ter attraction to the Florence game.
We certainly hope and trust this re-
port is not true Surely the county
seat boys are sports enough to enter
the Florence tournament and take a
chance on winning handsome purse.
Two years ago Florence passed up a
Labor day celebration for Canon City
and at that time the representatives
from the county seat made all kinds
OF generous promises as to what they
would do In the event Fourth OF
July celebration was held here in re
turn for the consideration. Have they
forgotten them so SOON Well. Flor
from the west attend the celebration.
for II will be hummer. but II they
. feel disposed to pass II up. 1t will not
interfere with the success of the pro
gram.
Florence Is preparing To spend hun
dreds Of dollars TO entertain the peo-
pie OF the county on July 4. and In
asmuch as no other community has
Aee inclination to put across this big
sb Canon City should he the last
place in the county to stage or even
encourage q counter attraction.
We did get "in bad several years
ago with the people OF the western
part OF the county when our aifship
failed to fly. but the last carnival at
Canon City a few weeks ago evened
things up and then some. So come
on. boys; be good sports. at least.

Colorado Rural
Population Shows
a Big Increase

Statistics gathered through county
assessors and compiled by the State
Immigration Department. indicate that
Coiorado's rural population has in
creased very materially in the past 10
years. and in the principal agricul-
tural districts has increased more rap
idls than the urban population.
This is Just the opposite to what has
occurred further east. where census
reports now being made public show
that rural population has not in
creased nearly so rapidly as that of
the cities, ad in many districts has
actually decreased since 1910.
In the non irrigated districts of
Eastern Colorado the rural population
has Increased very rapidly since 1910.
and in some cases the number of
farms under cultivation at present, as
shown by assessors reports. is more
than double that of 10 years ago. This
Is also true in many districts on the
Western slope. particularly in Moffat.
Rio Blanco. San Miguel and Dolores
counties. The records of the immigl-
SON department show that several
thousand people from other states
have come TO Colorado in the past two
years, and have purchased or rented
farms. while an almost equal number
OF persons from other states have
filed upon homesteads in this state.

able to make Indicate that not less
than s5.00o.0eo has been invested in
Colorado property in the past two
years by persons whom the depart

shown considerable increases in rural
population in the past nye years. Col
orado has perhaps shown more rapid

sources in that period than al. oihe.
