THE AUDITORIUM.

THE AUDITORIUM.
The auditorium Is oblong' in shape,
and across the back and along each
side of it are galleries. A feature Of
the main floor is a series of six boxes,
three on each side, raised above the
level of the main floor, which has 615

Ok heart red is the basis of the color
scheme, which is relieved by trimmings
of ivory, gold and green. The carpets,
upholstering of the seats and the cur
tains are green. the general effect be-
ing extremely pleasing. Over 500 elec-
tric lights are used in Illuminating the
theater.
The stage is separated from the au-
ditorium by a fire wall and has an
opening of 30 feet, is IS feet from wall
to wall, is 30 feet deep and "a feet high.
Over the stage are automatic windows,

the stage into the main part Of the
house.

each supplied with water, and there
are twenty-five sets of scenery painted
expressly for the house.
Besides the main entrance, there are

minutes. The entrance to the theater

A mayor from an eastern city. who
had spent couple of weeks in Canon

one of the most orderly towns he had
ever seen. He noticed the absence
of the loafing class and said he had
heard no profanity or boiSterous talk,
nor had he seen any disorderly CON
duct i'll the city during his visit.

A gentleman remarked the other
day that he was generous and for
giving purely from selfish nature.
He did favors for other people merely
because it made himself feel so good.

One of the best signs of the times

the great number of candidates that

HOW COLORADO is BLEST

Colorado is receiving another cm-
phatic object lesson of the contrast in
her favor of weather conditions AS
" ith the reports of death dealing
and property destroying floods in Iowa,
Illinois and even As near TO us as Me-
braska and Kansas, comes the news OF
many deaths from heat in Pittsburg
and other eastern cities. Colorado's
climate precludes the possibility of
either floods or fatal heat, "a sunstroke
being rs rare as "A death from floods.
We have our disadvantages in another
direction and in one respect an en-
tirely opposite direction, but even
then there is mitigation in the
growing application of irrigation.
We had a striking lesson in this dur
ing the summer of 1900, when the
drought in the eastern states was
blighting everything in its VIC = path.
One of the New York papers wired to
the governor of Wyoming along with
other governors asking for estimates
the drouth. The Wyoming executive
replied that the Wyoming farmers
were not having any drouth st all;
that while IL had not rained for sev-
ersl months they really were not ex.
pecting it for thev had learned from
experience to do without il and no
longer relied upon the fckle Jupiter
for favors As usual, he answered,
they we're doing their own watering
by p.eAns of irrigation and all they
asked for was the increase; they not
only did the planting themselves, but
they relieved Apollus OF his task aud
furnished the water, too. All they
prayed or hoped for Wa Gods in
crease
The telegram was 50 clevcrly worded
and there was such al opportunity
for its display that the paper printed
it. 1t WAS given wide circulation by
means of the paper in which it ap-
peared originally and also by repro
duction in other eastern papers. This
opened the eyes of many easterner,
who ever since Daniel Webster term
ed this region the Great American
Desert" had been left under the i'm
preston that the country along the
base of the Rocky Mountains was in
reality irredemable barren waste, But
the great hite light has at last brok'
en- upon these people and now they
are beginning to see our possibilities,
with the aid Of irrigation, by which
the great deposits of snow that fall in
the mountains in the winter months
are converted and made to water the
fertile land 80 that the finest crops of
vegetables and fruits in the world, 10
say nothing of the grain produced
there. 1t is becoming known through
out the nation that we have something
out here besides mines and that those
who come TO cast their lots with us
may have the choice of varied as
sortment OF occupations.
Unfortunately, this season there is
less snow in the mountains than there
has been since 1859, owing TO the un-
usually dry winter, bat tn" old in
habitants say that we will get an
"eveuing up on the score this sum
Tncr; that when the snow fall in the
winter is light we invariably have
more rain in the summer and fall.
They argue that we must get certian
amount of precipitation during the
ypar and il IL does not come AT one
time, we will get it at another.
