TOO OPTIMISTIC NOW.
"Too Pessimistic" Mr. Editor:
Such a charge against you
should be resented. Your clos-
ing comment on "Amarillo Re-
joicing" last week show you to
be too optimistic on the Santa Fe
shops.
Gilded futures varnished
hopes favorable situations or
"faith without works" do not
build cities in this time of viin
push and enterprise.
Canyon City and her people
should wake up to the real fact
that they must do something or
remain a village. She has re-
cently side tracked her best op-
portunity to become a city in
failing to push a R. R. connection
at Washburn and Yarnell with
the Denver City and Rock Island
roads respectively. You can
''read the handwriting on the
wall." Never was such an op-
portunity neglected in modern
times.
If we ever survive this woeful
neglect it will be by facing and
realizing the facts and not by
blind silly apathy and do nothing
policy. Had we been guided by
reason or apparent facts I could
excuse the failure to "strike
when the iron was hot" but it
seems to me that the side track
ing of the enterprise was delib-
erate and inexcusable.
Jaspkk N. Hanky.

Ij. Ijochridge and family this

as where they will reside in the
