Herald of last Sunday says:
The advent as a star of Mr.. Will
liam Faversham at the Criterion the
atre tomorrow evening will create
quite a stir among the many admirers
who have followed his career as lead
ing man of the Empire Theatre stock
company In that capacity Mr.. Faver-
sham seems to have won his spurs,
and his bid for stellar hOnOrS cannot
be regarded as unexpected or uncaIIed
for. Indeed. if it had not been con-
sidered beforehand. the rousing well
come which he received on his reap
pearance at the Empire theatre in
Brother Officers after his critical ILL
ness last winter should have opened
the eyes of his manager to the fact
that here was the popularity that calls
stars into existence.
But his stellar venture had been de-
cided upon even before he had thor
oughly recuperated, and a suitable
play had already been cast about for.
1t appears to have been found in "A
Royal Rival" a busting drama of
ruff1eS and rapiers. swords and SPAN
giles, and couched in the old time spirit
of extravagant romance; a play which

The Herald is in receipt of the fol-
lowing from Willard Bean. who has
just returned from New York. concern
ing the play he has written:
The play is founded on the Book of
Mormon and dates back to 70 years B.
! {. It is laid in South America. The
comments by the foremost producers of
New York stamp it as very worthy
effort. and it would commend itself to
them but for its 'unsavory origin.
In view of this, il is proposed to
launch it from Utah. A Mormon play

Mormon company direct from Mormon
lands.

ing October, for it requires quite three
months to build a play of its preten-
tons. 1t demands a chorus and ballet,

a New York $4,000 production, but has

TREMENDOUS CLOUDBURST
ON THE UPPER ARKANSAS

Buena Vista, Colo, Aug. 4.-Denver
News Special.)-The heaviest rain
storm that some OF the oldest settlers
have seen for years fell IN this vicini-
ty Saturday afternoon and evening.
The storm was accompanied by heavy
hail ut Newett, a small station on the
Colorado & Southern railroad, ON what
is known rs the Gunnison division.
About 4 O'Clock there was a cloud
burst in the vicinity of Newett, which
has completely washed out the tracks
of the Colorado & Southern from that
place to Nathrop distance of about
thirteen miles. There is scarcely any
trace left of the rails and ties, and
through what is known as Trout can
on, which Is about three miles miles
from this place, the water marks on
the rocks on either side of the canon
show that the water was twelve to If
teen feet above the track as it came
through this place, which is nearly as
narrow as the canon of the Arkansas
river as it passes through the Royal
Gorge. At Schwander.s, near the south
end of the canon, where the Colorado
Il Southern road has a spur to Buena
Vista, the station and section house
escaped the fury of the flood, as it had
spread a great deal before reaching
these buildings. The coal shoot and
water tank are also intact.
Two engines are here again tonight,
being cut Off in either direction on ac-
count of another aloud burst on Mount

Princeton, which started rock slide
on the mountain, and, together with
the water, washed out and blocked
about 700 yards of track as the road
enters the hills mt HOrtense. The dam
age to numerous ranches In the path
of the flood is difficult to estimate.
Most Of the ranchmen have cut the
first crop of alfalfa, but all the small
grain is practically covered with sand
and brush, so that there will be no
crops for the farmers, who usually
have large crops, and this year they
were unusually large.
One lone man took refuge In a shan
ty erected by some prospector at the
head of Trout Greek canon. but saw
the great body of water coming down,
barely getting out in time to see the
shanty dashed to pieces and washed
down the creek. At Safida the rain
wao also severe, and did cOnsiderab bic
damage to the roadbed of the Rio
Grande railroad. 1t will be several
months before the grade and tracks Of
the Colorado & Southern can be re-
placed which has completely cut Off
this roads connection with Gunnison.
There is nothing to indicate any sign
of q track or roadbed over the greater
part of the mileage destroyed, as the
rails are buried in the mud and sand,
and the ties are either washed out on
to the ranch lands or covered up like
the rails. The storm seems to have
been general over this part of the state.

In results the plan is even better than
that of the enterprising farmer who
