WHY THEY WON'T PARADE.
NJ. w. Prosser, a Snowman, Explains
Action of Circuses.

M. w. Prosser, of Bay City, Mich, a
cousin of Ike Lewis of the state in
surance department, has arrived in To-
peka to join the Sells circus. Mrs.
Prosser is one of the performers with
the circus. and Mr.. Prosser is a ticket
seller. They have at various times
travelled with all the big shows in the
country. In speaking of the future
of the circus, Mr.. Prosser said:
IAN agreement has been reached
among the big showmen for the aboli-
ton of the street parade. Some of the
big shows will cut out this feature this
season, and by next season, the street
parade will be a thing of the past.
1 expect that the smaller circuses will
continue it for while.
'Show people figure that the street
parade is not only a dead loss, but
that it actually is a detriment to the
attendance at shows. Farmers come
to town in the morning expressly to
see the parade. Having seen the par
ade they are satisfied, and are ready to
go home. Tt costs about thousand
dollars for big circus to give a
with the afternoon performance, by
taking so many of the laborers away
from the show grounds when they are
most needed in getting things ready.
BY emitting the parade, which is al-
WAYS late the afternoon performance
can be started promptly on time. 1t
will be a good thing for the small
shows to have the street parade elm
mated for the small parade suffers in
by the big shows. A small show may
give a very creditable performance in
their tent, but they can't make big
showing on the street

rial, which has to be elevated 300 feet to the cement niI., and has furnished light and power for drilling operations in the tunnels at the dam. ...
 The cement mill which has been ready to run since the middle of February. is now in operation. The fuel used ill burning cement in the kilns is crude petroleum from the California oil fields. The beginning of manufacturing cement was delayed through the fact that only one tank of oil reached the mill during March.
 About 400 tons of machinery and 60 tons of structural iron have gone into the construction of the cement plant. The ball mills weigh about l2 tons each the tube mills, when ready for grinding, weigh about 20 tons, the crusher 15 tons and the rotary kllns for burning the cement are 70 feet long and weigh 40 tons each Attached to the mill is well-equipped laboratory under the charge of two chemists, who will devote all their time to standardizing the cement materials, and testing the pro- ducts of the mill. It is expected that about 100000 barrels of cement will be required in the construction of the Roosevelt dam, the power canal and the various Tonto improvements. The ce- ment used ill the preliminary work cost $535 barrel delivered at the point where it was used Bids were later re- ceived for furnishing cement at $4.81 a barrel. It will cost the government $1.60 a barrel to make the cement on the ground. If the cost of the plant, $2OO, ,000 be added to the cost of the 2OO,- GOO barrels of cement required, the total cost of the government cement will still be only $2.20 a barrel, or q saving of $522, ,0O0 on the entire work. After the dam and canals have been completed, the cement plant will still be capable of further use, and considerable salvage may doubtless be realized.-Citrogra ph
