DoINGS OF THE ANimAs
POWER COMPANY
Silverton Standard.

Silverton Standard.
The Animas Power company is do
ing strenuous stunts these days In
preparing for the transmission of cleo
trio energy into and throughout San
Juan county. The big power house
near lockwood is completed and the
water wheels, dynamos and other ma
chinery are being rapidly installed and
adjusted. Active work of stringing
primary wires is now under way with
force of forty men employed. From
Silverton to Gladstone, a distance of
nine miles, the line Is complete, and
work is now being extended on over
the hill towards Red Mountain town
The Red Mountain district will be
thoroughly wired for transmitting the
current to the mines and mills for
power, and light and for lighting the
town. This will conclude the seasons
work OF the company with the excep-
ton of stringing wires between Rock
wood and Silverton. the poles for
which are already in place Current
will be turned on November / at the
latest. A sub-power or transformer
station, 30x9O feet, will be established
here on the fat alongside the d. g. r.
G. railway tracks down towards the
Hercules property.
To give an Idea OF the magnitude
Of this enterprise 1t can be stated that
on November /, when the current ls
turned on to the comparatively limited
territory ready TO receive 1t, one mil
| lion dollars will have been expended
by the Animas people and when all oi
their plans are ultimately carried out
upwards Of five millions will have been
put into the system. Surely a gigsn
| tic enterprise
On August l the company was re
organized and the name was changed
from that of the Animas Canal, Res
ervoir, Water Power and Investment
company to that of the Animas Powel
company. The old officials we're re
tanned in their positions. with Curtii

The NEWMAN COMPANY.

Joseph Newman and his clever COM
pany of entertainers are coming again
to the Durango opera house Friday
evening, September /. Mr.. Newman
needs no Introduction to a Colorado
audience because he is an established
tavorite wherever ne has appeared.
and he is well known here. And this
season he promises the same kind OF
an enjoyable show he always gives,
but the selections will be entirely new
in every instance. Mr.. Newman has
written several new songs since his
last visit here and will introduce
them along with the latest up-to-date
New York successes. Among the songs
he will sing are: You'll Live in Your
Country's Heart" "Old Man Moon"

the End of the Chapter" The One
Loved Best" Give That to Me-"

Japs," Jimmy Browns Essays"
Loves Conglomerations," Twas
Just Little Accident. That's All' and
Nobody"

is Pauline Perry Woolston, one Of the
best known singers in the West. She
is soloist with the Tuesday Musical
club of Denver, and has sung frequent
ly at the Symphony concerts at the
Broadway tneater and Elitch's Gar
dens. Her voice is sweet and sympa-
thetic and she is equally at home In
| ballads. love songs and music OF the
! lighter order as she is in selections
Of classical nature. She is an clev-
er an actress as she is singer and

The popular violinist, Miss Carlotta
Bixler. is again member OF the com
| pany and she has an entirely new rep
ortoire of selections which are sure to
| find favor
| Miss Inez Brown is the pianist and
acoompanist and she always playz
with artistic grace and finish. Her
accompanying is deserving of partic
Iular praise. She strengthens and
seconds the soloists in a manner that
Is thoroughly gratifying.
Delightful features OF the program
will be the little comedies, Gentle
man Jim" and "A Husband In Glover.

scented here by Mr.. Newman or any
one else. In the former Miss Brown

ARE SUPERSAS.

For the third time the home team
has vindicated its superiority over the
Aztec baseball team by a score of a.
to 3. The game was marked by bril-
liant plays on both sides. The visit
ors had a splendid battery but received
the poorest OF support. The home
team had no trouble in finding the
sphere and sending # where the out
ielders were too far away to catch
anything smaller than balloon. They
were outplayed in every inning and
used little judgment in distance and
position. The Aztecs are good play
ers. The Farmingtons are superbas.-

While all connected with the peace
party are silent on important matters.
1t is declared with some show of au-
thority that Japan must change her
attitude somewhat or peace can not be
secured Both sides declare, how.
ever. that there is not the slightest
prospect of a change. The only way
out of the difficulty seems to he that
of Japan offering to sell the island OF

that the czar could not refuse pence
when he has acceded TO nearly all the
other conditions proposed.
