The Santa Fe has been hauling car
loads Of stone and strengthening its
roadbed protection between Eighth
and Ninth streets.
Our enterprising sister city, South
Canon, has taken prompt and effective
measures at points between Sixth and
Seventh streets as well as near the
Third street bridge.
One Of the most serious losses, indi-
vidually, is that of J. S. Rowe, who
had beautiful garden Of about an
acre and a half on "the island" lying
in the river between Eighth and Ninth
streets. This is a total loss-the trim
garden, the fertile soil, the fringing
line Of graceful trees, all having gone
down the river, which now has
strong, possibly permanent, current in
the channel formed where this island
has been for 80 many years.
The river is now somewhat lower
and it is hoped that the worst has
passed.
Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday
were days of much excitement and of
wild rumors of broken dams and six
foot walls of water coming down.

MONEY IN CHICKENS

Hoyt brothers, who have quite a
chicken ranch on Sherman avenue Lin
coin Park, believe there is money IN
chickens.
They have been increasing their
hocks from time to time and now have
nearly 1000 birds including this springs
hatching-
They have several varieties. but are
proudest of some new birds of the rose
comb White Manorcs variety.
Hoyt brothers believe that with
good plant and 1000 mature birds one
should bank on the average of 500

The strawberry crop just being
gathered throws lot Of ready money
into this community.
THE REcoRD has been gathering some
figures and has made some estimates.
1t IL believed that not less than
5000 crates OF berries will be sold
from the Canon City fruit farms.
The price begun At $3.50 per crate
and by gradual steps has gone down TO
? $3.50, $500, $3.50, Sl.75, $l.o0 and TO
tl.4O. The price remained at Sl.40
only day or two and then went back
up 70 l.50 then to s1.6o which 10 the
buying price today.
The average price paid for the crop
Ais probably not far from ei.s5 yer
crate.
1t can readily be seen that the crop
Of a5 900 crates at an average price Of
sl.s5 would bring the grower 80, $50
and this 10 all new money brought from
other cities and states.
This 10 divided up between hundreds
Of growers. The average grower will
sell from 100 10 800 crates and few
from 800 to 1000 crates and some
market only few dozen crates.

Few things can be said about the stage
al any time which will not excite con-
troversy' think. however. one of the
few is. that the influence of the drama
today is wider than it ever was. To
be sure. there is a vast increase Of
playgoerS, the intellectual interest in
the stage is steadily growing. Acting
is one of the most fascinating of the
arts. To the actor the whole field Of
human nature is open. Whether in the
ideal world of the stage, or in the actu-
al world of social intercourse, his mind
is constantly accommodating impressions
which become a part of his artistic
being. This experience is common to
the students of the other arts. but the
actor has this advantage. that all he
learns is embodied in his own person
ality, not translated through some me-
dunn. like the painters canvas OF in
the novelist's page.
The end of all acting is to hold the
mirror up TO nature Different actors
have different methods. but that is
their common purpose which can be
accomplished only by the closest study
and observation Acting. like every
other art. has mechanism. No paint
er, however great his Imaginative pow
er, can succeed in pure ignorance of
the technicalities of his art: and no
actor can make such progress till he
has mastered a certain@ mechanism
which is within the scope of patient
intelligence. Beyond that is the sphere
in which a magnetic personality exer-
cises a power of sympathy which Is ir-
resistible and indefinable That is
great acting; but, though it is Unborn.
and cannot be taught, it can be brought
forth only when the actor is master of
the methods of his craft Like Talma,
1 have no pretension to be an orator;
all my studies have been directed to-
wards my calling. Every actor ought
to be his own tutor. If he has not in
himself the necessary faculties for ex-
pressing the passions and painting
characters, all the lessons in the world
cannot give them to him. Genius is
not acquired. This faculty of creating
is born with us; but if the actor pos
sesses it. the counsel of persons of
taste may then guide him; and as
there is in the art of reciting verse a
part in some degree mechanical. the
lessons of an actor profoundly versed
in his art may save him much study
and time
The poet or the painter can wait
for the moment of inspiration to write
or TO paint. In the actor. on the con.
trary, it must be commanded at any
moment, at his will That it may be
sudden. lively and prompt. lie must
possess an excess of sensibility. Nay,
more, his intelligence must always be
on the watch. and acting in concert
with his sensibility, regulate its move
ment and effects; for he cannot. like
the painter and the poet, efface what
he does.
When we consider all the qualities
necessary to form an excellent actor.
all the gifts which nature has bestowed
upon him, can We be surprised that
they are so rare? l trust that in these
few thoughts of mine and quotations
from great men. l have given to those
who so often ask for the experience I
have derived during my career devoted
entirely to the beautiful art love so
deeply, may prove of benefit to them"

Hypocritlcal Amateurlsrn

That there is something more than
sensat ionalism back Of the allegat ions Of
PROFESSIONALISM tendencies made against
the college athletics of to-day is shown
by the general prevalence of the spirit
e protest. and the insist ence with which
il is urged There is something wrong
with college sport and o rs cert ain the
exact nature of that something, a com
posite pilot ograph of opinion may be
made by selecting from The many papers
that have discussed the matter The most
significant Of their utterances
The Providence Journal considers that
most of the criticism has gone wide of
the mark" and frankly defends college
athletics on the ground that "the uni
versity has become huge gymnasium,
a social fad AS a consequence, and
perfectly legitimate consequence, inter
est is now centered in contests" Of
strength and endurance. rather than in
d curriculum witch makes demands
upon the intellectual equipment The
pale, spect acled ST udent has been clpsed
by he football hero. The few go to col
lege o disport themselves in games; the
many 90 to cheer on the few" The
modern view is that nothing succeeds
like success, that the end justifies the
means; and by what the Journal affirms
to be the ethics of to-day he conduct of
college sport ia justified.
The Springfield Republican halls the
articles as part Of "a campaign against
graft of another sort, and lays the blame
at the door of "the system, not the in
dividual offender. Playing to win" is
commendable; plotting TO win," by
methods and ethics no better than those
of the ward politician, is the chief dan
ger to amateur sport, THE question is
broader than that Of mere athletics, for
standard of ethics is involved
Perhaps the keenest philosophical
analysis Of the problem and the most
definite and practicable suggestion Of a
solution and remedy are offered by the
Indianapolis Nens. Considering the dis
cussion of special cases weak way Of
special case is likely to have its special
explanation. the Ners confines its atten-
ton to general principles. Profession
alsn, if it be honestly admitted, is not an
immoral thing. The wrong is in playing
the professional as an amateur =
Though honest and openly avowed pro-
fessionalsm is not immoral it is. we be-
licve, fatal to true college sport" The
entering edge of the wedge is small, but
its final effec, is vital disruption. The
diagnosis of the trouble with college
athletics made by the indianapolis Nens
fixes the disease as a tendency toward
methods that are unfair because they are
not followed openly and without dis
sembling by ALL but hypocritically by a
few. The chief evil is the recruiting with
inducenents) Of desirable athletes from
