CANON’S GREATEST NEED.
An Ideal Location for a Big tiotal or
High Class Sanitarium Would
Be a Paying investmant.
At the present time Canon has no
greater need than a first class hotel.
A hotel on the order of the Antlers
at Colorado Springs or the Colorado
at Clenwood. The Antlers hotel has
made Colorado Springs. Had the
An» lers been erected in Canon City
ten years ago, Canon would today
have been many times its present
size A hotel of that proportiua
bring* to a city prestige and influ
ence. It brings to it tourists wbs
► pend money and capitalist# who in
vest in property and enterprises.
A big hotel of this order would
help and prosper every industry now
in the citv. and none more than the
hotels and boarding houses for noth
ing draw tourists so much as a big,
high priced, well advertised hotel.
People go to the town because it is
well advertised and many atop at
more modest inns.
Canon City has every advantage
for the building up of a big tourist
hotel.
The climate of Canon City gives ii
advantages in favor of the location
of a fine year around resort hotel that
are possessed by do other town in
the State. A hotel on the order of
The Colorado at Clenwood with the
amounts of goed advertising that
that has had. would undoubtedly be a
success financially, which The Colora
do has not. and would possess the ad
ditional :t ! vantage that it would bd
kept open with profit twelve months
each 3 ear.
The temperature duriag the winter
months is so high that life in the
open air is comfortable, bracing and
healthful almost all the time, while
the low percentage of humidity makes
the heat of the summer days not un
comfortable, especially to those who
are scruhorned to the motet beet of
the Mississippi valley or tl.e Atlantic
seaboard, and the nights are always
cool. During the hottest months ef
the summer there are almost every
afternoon short thunder shower*
which cool the air and keep down the
dust.
The warm soasbiney days of the
winter, the dry air highly charged
with electricity, the freedom from
higk winds, the very small rain and
snow fsll which dry up so quickly
without leaving sloppy ro da all com

cloudy and cold winters of the eastern
slates to be almost perfect. Com
pare the ten cloudy days recorded
during the four winter months jus*
past with the records for the same
length of time of any eastern cit>
and the advantage is at ouce ap
parent.
The attractions of natural scenery
are also unequalled. Situated light
at the foot of the mountains the city
is within easy driving or riding dist
snee, owr roads that are good at all
seasons, of innumerabla charming
picnic reminds with views on all
sides of canons and otiow capped
mountains, whose grandure is un
equallod by the Alps themselves.
A Little Like Old Times.
An old settler recalls that this
stormy spring very much resembles
t tat experienced here about thirty-six
year* ago. Then the spring was cold
and stormy, followed by floods the
greatest floods Colorado has ever
known. The Arkansas river was very
high, in fact so high that people
would not believe It if we published
what has been told us. It seems that
the floods were general over the
State that for year Cherry Creek,
whioh flows through Donver, got so
high that it actually washed the city
hall away and covered moat of the
city, w hich was then principally along
the stream. It is to be hoped that
the i esemblance will not be carried
that far this year.
3lx O'clock Dinner.
Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Job. 11. I’eabody entertained at six
o’clock dinner a number of young
ladies and gentlemen, mostly married
people. After dinner hearts afforded
amusement for a few hours. The
prises which were beautiful bouquets
of flowers, were taken by Mias Jennie
McFarlane and Mr. N. C. Craven.

Capt J. D. J. Kelley of the United
States navy tells a story at his own
expense. During the war with Spain
he held the responsible position of rec
ommending boats for the government
to buy for naval purposes. On ons oc
casion he was visited by a quaint old
customer who had a number of craft
he desired to sell. One by one the cap
tain sharply refused him and explained
In each case that, while they might be
good craft they were worthless for
war purposes. When he had rejected
the last of the list the broker looked
at him qulsslcally for a moment and
then said: "If you went, on one of
them 'ere ships to Cuba and talked as
you do to me you'd scarce every Span
