Rupert of Hentzau.


Rupert of Hentzau," Anthony Hopes
thrilling sequel to his famous 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda," has been selected as
the play for Mr.. Howard Gould's an
nual starring tour Mr.. Gould's promi-
nence as one of the most popular of
Americas leading men was due largely
to his marked success in the chief role
in 1.-The Prisoner of Zenda," and his
present appearance in the sequel to that
romantic story, under the auspices OF
Daniel Frohman, is said to be continu-
alton of his former triumphs. The pro-
duction of Rupert of Hentzau," which
will be seen at the Opera House on
Monday evening, May Goth, is direct
from the Lyceum theatre, New York.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THEATRE

May be Increased So as to Garry Out
the Present Plans of the Board of
Trade Building Company-The Sit
uation.
1t is said that the Board of Trade
Building Company is contemplating an
effort 70 increase the subscription to
their new theatre fund by about $4,000,
that being the sum necessary to erect
it in accordance with the present plans.
When the estimates were received from
the contractors for its erection, some
time ago, it was found that the build
ing was too ornate to be built for the
money subscribed.
To cut down the plans and bring
them into the building fund would
mean the elimination Of many of the
most desirable features of the building
and would be very unsatisfactory. 1t
is thought by the friends of the COM
pany that with little difficulty the $14,-
600 necessary can he raised. There Is
but little doubt but that this work
should be done at once and the build
ing gotten under process of construc-
ton.

to the insurance companies. This was
about 20 years ago.
In the early '90s the accumulation of
the fund was SO large that it was suf-
ficient to meet any possible loss that the
mills might sustain and since then all
the Minneapolis mills in the big group
have practically had their insurance for
nothing. The fund is invested in in
terest bearing bonds and increases each
year. Montana might we'll profit by the
experience of the Minnesota millers.
1.-THE state has sustained no large loss
from fire since territorial days. If a
record of the premiums that have been
paid since the state was admitted was
prepared it would show that a very large
sum has been spent by the state for in
surance.
"Objection has been raised to the plan
by those who do not believe that the
state has sufficient property to pay it
to carry it's own insurance. Montana
has number of state institutions that
represent very large property value.
State Institutions Far Apart.
"supposing the state carried it's own
insurance the hazard from fire would
be less than it is now as additional safe
guards would he thrown out to protect
against fire. The experience of the town
mutual insurance companies in the East
proves this theory conclusively.
Old line companies cannot begin to do
the business as cheap as the town mu
tuals, even though all the risks are in
one community and not segregated.
Every man who is a member of the COM
pany feels a personal interest in pro-
tecting against fire for it means an as
sessment every time there is a fire.
"Some of the biggest commercial in
situations in the country carry their own
insurance Some, indeed, where their
property is all located in one place. With
the state Of Montana it's property is
segregated-located in many sections of
the state, and the hazard is reduced to
a small minimum.

CARRY STATE RISKS
MIR. CALDERHEAD THINKS STArn
SHOULD BE ITS OWN INSURER.
WANTS A RESERVE FUND
state Auditor Has It Figured Out That
Paying Out Money for Fire In
surance Is Altogether
Unnecessary.
Especial to Inter Mountain)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Helena, Dec. 27.-State Auditor J. H.
Calderhead believes that Montana could
carry it's own insurance on institution
buildings and all. other structures be-
longing to the state. He says:
Montana would have a large reserve
insurance fund by this time If the state
had carried its own insurance during the
last 10 years. I believe that the Mon
tana legislature could set aside small
reserve fund and in the future pay all
premiums on insurance into the state
fund, with great advantage to the
state. In few years the state would have
large reserve fund and the profits that
are taken by the insurance companies
would accrue to the benefits of the tax
payers.
State House to Be Insured
II have no way of knowing the exact
amount of money paid out every year
In premiums by the state, as each insti-
tuition settles for it's own insurance.
Next year, however, it will be necessary
to insure the new state house. An APP
preparation will have to be made for
this purpose.
1.-THE premiums on the insurance carried
by each state institution are paid out Of
the institution contingent fund and no
record IS kept OF the insurance paid
every year, but it must certainly be
very large sum. The state has property
valued at nearly 100000. This of
course is merely an estimate. and in
cludes only the buildings upon which in
surance is carried.
"A number of Eastern states have
adopted the plan of carrying their own
insurance and there is no reason why
the state of Montana cannot do so also.
Some of the great railway systems of the
United States as we'll as other corpora
tions having large interests are carry
ing their own insurance at lower fig
ure by half than it would be possible to
place it with any Of the underwriters.

Monday the Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs capitalists, interested
in Deet sugar factories at Rocky
Ford and Loveland. were in the
valley getting birds-eye view of
the great San Luis park. They
stopped off at Monte Vista for an
hour and were driven across the
river and shown the great wheat
belt From here they went to
Manassa and other parts of the
valley. 1t Is probable they will
locate sugar plant somewhere in
the valley. 1t all depends upon
what encouragement tie ranch
men offer in the way of growing
the beets. There Is no use of build
ing factory unless assured there
will he beeis enough to handle
after it is built Some organized
effort should be made to locate the
plant at or near this city MS this is
