The Fairhaven A.sessment Roll.

FAIRHAvEE, June 16.-tSpecial. The
city assessment roll for this year as equal
ized and finally approved today, aggre-
gates $7,606, 1923, of which $6,99209O is
realty and $614, ,233 personal property.
Last year the assessment was made on
boom basis of valuation and was little bet
ter than a robbery This year the work
has been done on a conservative basis val
uation and the assessment is fair, although
the aggregate is only $5S,00O in
excess of that of last year.
The increase in personal property is very
large, having more than doubled. Last
wear the rate of taxation for general pur-
poses was 10 mills. This year it is only
half that amount, with 2 mills additional
to provide for the payment of interest on
bonds bids for which are to be opened the
9th inst. The financial condition of the
city is first-class, and it is expected that
the competition for bonds will be spirited
and that they will be sold at premium.

CLARA MORRIS.
A Magnificent Production at the Opera
House Last Evening.

The presentation OF Odette at the opera
house last evening BY Miss Clara Morris
and her company was a revelation to those
who witnessed Miss Morris acting for the
hrst time aud a confirmation to others
that her powers as a great actress are not
waning, but, on the contrary. are growing
in strength.
The story of Odette, like many of Sar.
dou's plays. is an emotional one in which
intensity and depth of human feeling is
portrayed by realistic vocal expression
rather than by spirited action.
"Odette" is a guilty wife. but a pure
mother and the conflicting emotions of
love for her daughter and hate for her
husband, enjoyment of the gay world and
constant longing for the purity OF a home
form the basis of the drama. To faith
fully and fully interpret the character aud
make manifest to her hearers the thrill
ling heights and depths of human passion
and emotion,Miss Morris is ~singularly well
equipped. Her stage training is perfect
but the \ wonderful effect and
power of her vocal expression
is her strength. Her voice is
clear, n musical aud trained, SO
that every conflicting emotion is expressed
perfectly by its shades OF infection. In
the interview with her husband she
reaches the height of passionate inyectlve
without being boisterous. and In the In
terview with her daughter she makes the
pathos Of the scene SO real that pity is
the overwhelming feeling of her hearers.
Miss Morris has a support worthy of
her talents. Every member of the com
pany is we'll trained and capable. Mr..
Howard Coveney as ~"Bechamel," Mr..
Coleville as Count La Tour, Miss Bari
son as "Berangere" were especially notice
able for the perfect presentation OF the
characters they essayed. The costumes
were handsome and the performance as a
whole the finest dramatic event presented
to a Cheyenne audience for a long time.
Miss Morris will play Camille" this
evening.
