Where stone is abundant, the best
culvert that can be built is of that ma
terial. The next best material is wood
log culvert with poles or planks on
top. Then culverts are made of heavy
planks, strong and supposed to be dur
able. Farmers of the eastern states
have been building culverts for 100
years, and ought to know how to build
them properly, but they don't. The

1t was after 10 o'clock when the con-
vention was called TO order by Chairman
NJ A. Smalley. During the morning MEM
bers of the committee on resolutions were
working on the phraseology of their one
resolution. The only thing in the platform
was the resolution on silver and an at
taehment for the unit rule in voting on the
silver question at Chicago. But there were
wide differences on enforcing the unite rule
and as 10 the words to be used in ex-
pressing the one idea OF the convention.
There was no reference TO the Republican
Legislature or State administration. While
there was nothing In the platform but
silver. the same issue alone controlled all

reorganized with w. W. Durbin. of Ken

to congress to "coin money" expressly
negatives the idea. The sticklers for

AT THE THEATERS

THE BURBANK-There was a highly
dellgnted audience at this cosy theater
pany made another marked advance in
Ihe favor of the Los Angeles theater goers.
The farcial comedy, Lords of Creation,
was presented with a judiciously selected
cast. The play is the English version OF
PINK Dominos and the racy features Of
that long time success were presented
with an aptitude and smoothness that
projected the mirthiul elements into con-
SpicuouS prominence. The clever work of
the players in deity exploiting the spark
ling humor, the suggestive situations, kept
the audience in "a continuous roar of
laughter. The play was admirably cos
TUNED. the ladies displaying rare taste
Miss Rose Stuart as Lady Maggie and
Miss Dallas as Mrs. Greythorne were es-
tons and Miss Davis in the soubrette role
of Rebecca was audaciously wicked and en-
saging. Miss Harington's old woman was
also worthy of especial nota Naessrs.
Moulton, Lonergan. Gibney, Stockbridge
and Sellery were happily cast. Alto

some very clever work, and they are

LOS ANGELES THEATER-The sale
of reserved seats opens this morning for
The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown.
which comes to the Los Angeles theater
ON Thursday evening of this week. The
claim is made that it depends wholly
on its plot for the fun that is in it. A youth
dares to fall in love with a ward in
chancery and marries her contrary to Eng
lish law. and she is sent packing back to
boarding school. He follows her in girls
clothes and the rest is easy to gueess in
general manner. though evidently its
working out is unique for the play has
run longer than year in London and for
several months in New York. A COM
pany under the management of w. A.
Brady. headed by Eddie Foy, will present
the piece.
