COMMITTEE FOR
WEST" MEETS
Nine-State Conference Considered Al

TO BE HELD IN JANUARY
PLANS CONTEMPLATE ESTAR
LlSHMENT OF MAGAZINE.

The committee recently appointed by
the board Of governors of the CONNER
cial club in the interests Of the move
ment 10 divert a part of the annual
European travel TO the west, held q
meeting yesterday morning at which
preliminaries of the general plan were
considered. Part of the session was
taken up with reading letters and ed
itorials commenting favorabIy on the
project. and the committee was given
assurance that already it was certain
that the western states conference will
be a success. 1t was announced that
the approximate date of the conference.
at which viii be governors, railroad Of
hclals and representatives of CONNER
clal organizations of nine states and
territories, has been fixed as the middle
OF January. The conference win, o.
course, be held at the Commercial club.
After the consideration Of the above
business the committee adjourned UNI
til tomorrow. when preliminary plans
viii be gone into more fully.
Daily favorable messages continue to
come from every source. The PROPOSE
ton is already OF semi-natiOnal char
acter, its success meaning much direct
~ for half the United States. and much
indirectly for the whole country. In
brief, the proposition is the up-to-date
advertising of the beauties and re
sources of the western states through
a campaign of education extending
over a period of five or six years, and
contemplating an outlay Of not less
than 100000 There will be no hvs-
terieal ding dong. but a cold, business
like array OF facts presented to the
tourist public through various avenues.
ranging from illuminated sign schemes
such as may be seen at Second South
and Main streets, to a magazine OF the
highest standard.
The magazine is as yet only an idea.
but the Commercial club believes il =
good one and worth pushing. 1t is pro
posed TO establish an illustrated mag
aZine and enlist the services OF the
brightest writers in the country. Cali
fornia has already shown what can be
accomplished in the way of advertising
through Magazine, the California
Promotion society having found For
California" one of its best investments.
1t can be seen easily what influence a
magazine setting forth the advantages
of the west and having the backing OF
the west would yield.

REMEMBER THEIR LINES.
Popular Actors With Remarkable
Memories.
(LondOn Tit-Bits.)


When NJ. COquelin, the great French
comedian, was asked ID short time ago
If he ever forgot a part he had once
played. he replied that he could, at a
moments notice, repeat any part he
had learned i'm his early years on the
stage. Il have only 10 open my mouth. "
ne said, land the speeches come out like
ribbon that is being unWound from
reel But / am OF opinion that after

events, if ] have TO play a part that 7
learned in later life | require just one
rehearsal in order 10 be sure OF my
self"
The astonishing nature of such a feat
as this is only realized when one re-
members the enormous numb n of parts
an actor of necessity has to master in
his early years. During my first four
years on the stage" Sir Squire Ban
croft, for instance. says, Il acted 346
characters, repeating many of them
with various actors and in different
theatres-an average of between eighty
and ninety parts each year"
During his first season he played for
~ fresh characters within six weeks,
long hours of the night generally by
the light of a single candle, being often
given to copying out my parts from
memorable fortnight he had To act the
following seven fresh parts: Cassie. in
"Othello:" GratianO in The Merchant
of Venice" De Mauprat, in "Riche-
leu Eugene de Lorme. in Loves
Sacrifice" Wellborn. in "A New Way
TO Pay Old Debts" Icilius, in ''Vir-
ginius,' and Leonardo Coinage. in The
Wife"
Sir Henry Irving had d. still more
amazing record of varied acting in his
prentice days During three years in
the provinces he appeared in no fewer
than J94 partisan average of nearly
four new characters every week during
the whole period. Although more than
forty years have gone since Sir Henry
committed these parts to memory. there
are few of them which he could not
repeat today without even a glance at
the book. Oddly enough, Il ever the

came at intervals a terrific stream of

On examination it was found that the

The government officials inclosed the

Of foghorn. and every minute or so
there was blown an ear-splitting blast
which could be heard far out at sea
and above the din of the breaking
rollers
The foghorn was allowed 10 roar only
in foggy weather. Owing to the fact
that it would only sound at high tide.
the government thought il advisa bic
to erect steam siren on the island In
case the weather might be thick at low
tide, when the natural foghorn was
silent.
Weird music can often be heard
along the shores of the Red sea, and
resembles in sound the notes of an
enormous cathedral organ.
Scientists declare that the music is
purely natural and comes from the
sand hills. Hard, dry particles OF sand,
which break loose from the summit of
the hills, roll down the slopes and
cause a musical vibration.
