VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 There was an air of Joyous release from the rigors of Lent noticeable yesterday at the Jacques, and the au- diences took on material increase in numbers Enthusiasm ran high as act after act of an exceptionally mer- " bill was presented. In the position of headliners appeared Pat Rooney and Emma Francis, who are well re- membered for the success they scored last season at Polls with 'The Rogers Brothers at Harvard" The clever pair have much the same act, at least fin the matter of dancing, that made such a hit at that time. and it makes more pronounced if possible the gen orally conceded fact that young Roo ney has no equal for soft shoe danc- ing on the vaudeville stage. Miss Francis is wonderfully clever dancer also. and the two offer an act that scores tremendously with the regula- ton vaudeville patron. Another num-

The plant employs seven hundred
men and quite little town is being

the East has been utilized fully, and it
is within bounds to state, that no plant
ever manufactured plaster with better
opportunities for producing a superior
article.
Besides their thousands of acres OF

Cement Company have several thous.

has s9.6 to s9.7 per cent of carbonate

About two hundred persons witnessed
the game. After the contest the Canon
City Elks rounded up their visiting
brothers and coralled them in the
lodge room where the remainder of the
night was spent in having good time,
The Victor boys visited the peniten-
tisry, the Royal Gorge and other
points of interest during their stay.
They left for home at O'Clock Sunday
afternoon feeling that they had beea
fully repaid for the time spent in Can

attention to the chemist employed.
The result of the peculiar propertie- OF
the raw materials, and of the great ac-
curacy of proportioning and treatment
is the the production of Ideal Portland
cement, which has from ten to twenty
per cent greater strength when mixed
with sand, than its competitors. The
system of grinding is the most com
plete TO be found in any factory in the
world. and the finished product has
larger percent Of real cement, or that
which will pass sieve with forty
Thousand meshes to the square inch,
than perhaps any other brand. The
unequailed strength with sand, and the
great fineness, are the features which
have made Ideal Portland cement so
