THE Denver Post has instituted
another suit again the Associated
Press to compel that institution to
provide that paper with daily re-
ports. 1t is to be hoped the Post
will win, for in every other respect
it is thoroughly up-to- date paper
With the Associated Press reports
the Post would be far in the lead

RUMoR is following rumor in
regard to present labor conditions
in Florence and what is promised
for the future. 1t is to be hoped
that whatever the developments,
conservatism, both on the part of
employer and employe, may be in
evidence. Let cool, considerate
judgment take the place of arbi-
trary action, that the good name
of Florence may not be brought
into disrepute.

Opera House Needed.

Florence needs a better opera
house, one with larger capacity
and better stage facilities. If the
city possessed one of this charac-
ter it would prove big paying
proposition to the owner, and the
troupes which would visit the CITY.
The stage of the present opera
house is entirely too small and in
convenient for any company to do
Justice, either to the play or itself.
The citizens of Florence pay the
same price for the accommodation
they get as the theater-goers of
Pueblo and Denver do, but when
they get there they have to sit on
seats that are on level floor and
witness play that is invariably
butchered for the lack of decent
stage facilities, and equipment.
What Florence people ask is Just
what they pay for--elevated seats,
better accommodations and stage
where a good performance can be
put on in creditable manner.
Now, Florence possesses n resi-
dent who is willing to invest his
money in such playhouse, but he
has opposition. The lots he would
buy for this purpose he cannot
buy. The owners either do not
want to sell, or they do not want
an opera house that would be a
credit to the city. The gentleman.
of course. can secure ground, but
it's location does not conform to
the kind of structure he would
build.

One of the most interesting features
Of the Transvaal exhibit at the Paris
Exposition, writes the correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record, is the Boer
farm, a modest structure copied with
scrupulous exactitude from the orig
mal near Pretoria.
The roof is of turf, the windows are
narrow and the doors low. There is
no flooring in the interior, and the
ihreshing floor is of soft earth, into
which the foot Of the visitor sinks at
every step. There is no ceiling. The
slantlng roof is supported by the exte-
rior walls, and all the rooms have
bare rafters where the ceiling is usu-
ally found.
The entrance door opens into the SIT
ting-room, or common hall, furnished
with a table covered In gray linen,
chairs, stools and a sofa covered with
crossed strips of leather, a harmonium,

There is reason in the roasting Of
