is no better way than to have the PRESS
on your reading table.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Mothers of Emporium will be held in
the High School Room, Saturday, Nov.

capable of furnishing two hours of
solid fun. The company carries with it a
superb brass band and concert orches-

Star Course Opening.

1t may sound like extravagant lauda-
tion to say that the Patricolo Grand
Concert Company is the finest aggrega-
tion of artists that has ever appeared
in Empoi nm but that would probably
not be fl { wide of the truth-every
member II the Company is an artist
and every number in the rich and
varied program a gem. The audience
wal delighted and demanded encore
after encore, to which the several
members of the company gracefully
responded. The Piano playing of
Patricolo is indeed phenomenal, the
renditions on the violin by Prof. Butler
revelation of the Possibilities of that
instrument.
The vocalizations of Miss Rapp dis
played the highest degree of cultivation
and training, and the readings of Miss
Gray were in the utmost favor with
her auditors. She easily excells in all
the elements that make up he finished
Elocutionist, as her frequent recalls
indicated.

election passed off quietly, except
in one district (Lumber) where a
small riot disturbed the election
for time. The successful candi-
dates may we'll feel proud of their
handsome vote. The contest was
quiet, yet closely contested and the
result unprecedented in the his
tory of the county. The popularity
of the county candidates is very
evident by the handsome vote each
received. The PRESS congratulates
the victors and sympathizes with
the defeated. We have been there
and know just how they feel. Now,
''let us have peace" and see what
we can do to upbuild Cameron
county.

emblematic of the state of Colorado
are represented on the artistic stem,
and in the gold bowl is a hand-en-

gift is in a neat white satin case, and is
intended to reward the young lady for
having sent in the largest number of

To Miss Margaret Farley, of Drift

Now was the lady who conducted
the contest forgotten. TO her surprise,
as well as high delight, she received a
beautiful souvenir spoon Of San Fran

next best thing to being born with a

considerate friend present you with
one that points an entrance to the

Fire at Sterling Run.

To the Editor Cameron County Press:
Here is a notice about fire. and
/ would like you to put a notice in
the PRESS about it. It was as fol-
lows: Little John Whiting said
that he was fooling down at the
barn and said that he set it on fire
to see the rats run and asked his
mother how soon it would burn.
There was a horse and buggy saved
and some wood and feed, and lot
of hay and lumber burned upstairs.
l forgot to say there were two barns
adjoining each other-one was Ed.
Writings and the other Straw
bridges.
Yours truly,
GROVER G.. SMITH.
Age, 8 years.
