who refused to give his name, said that,
if he could get the animals at anything
like a reasonable figure. he thought OF
making the experiment of stocking his
ranch in the west with them. From let
tiers written to South American friends,
he said, he had learned that he could
probably get a sufficient number for the
experiment at cost Of not more than
$50 each AS they are fairly good wool
growers. he said that there ought to be
more profit in them at this price than
the same number of sheep. In his opin-
ion the fleece of the llama is as good as
that of the camel for manufacturing
purposes.

BACK TO THE STAGE,
The Utah war having broken up the
chain OF dramatic performances, ana,
II may be said. the Deseret Dramatic
association itself, our dramatic history
was continued by MIR. Margetts organ
islng a company Of which he was pres
ldent, under the name Of the Me

members Of the company were Philip

ing a large room was fitted up I'm the
house of II. Il. Bowrug, with a stage
and good scenery painted by that eN-
cellent artist William " Morris, and
the place Of performance was called
"Bowring's Theater." 1t Is worthy Of
note that this was the first in Utah
that bore the name "thaater" this fact
has its suggCstiVeness In the old
bowery the performances, though the
atrical In their character, including
dancing, were nevertheless given in
a religious sanctuary.
Hence the "Old Bowery' could not,
even in the public mind bear the name
of "theater;" and similar views may
be taken OF the Social han. and the
whole OF the dramatic performances,
extending over a period OF 10 years
after the organization Of the first COM
pany, as cast In the foregoing. But as
society in the Rocky mountains began
to recover from the partial disorgau-
i2ation consequent on the Utah war,
the men In whom were the strongest
professional instincts of the theater,
began now in their line TO revive the
social life OF the people, and TO Messra.

In the performances At this little

leading lady; Mrs, H. Bull, walking
lady; Mrs McEWau, soubrette. Phil
Margetts played "Othallo;" Beverley
In THE Gamester" and Duke Aranza
In THE Honeymoon" and he sus-
tanned those parts admirably to the sur
prise of all his theatrical friends who
had cast him for q comedian par eX-

ton, unite It with Pills company
and said that he would build great
