The country in which We live is OF
surprising interest b. the man who
can read sermons from geologic signs.
The rocks OF the mountains and the
sands OF the desert each contribute 4
story OF the history of the country,
dealing with a period long before man
as We know him came to the country.
This story is practically an open book
To him who can read natures language
The country embraced by what is
HOW commonly known as the Carson
Sink, which by the way Is Il mlsnOmer,
for the reason that the name suggests
a thing which does not exist, namely, a
marsh was once covered by a great
lake, which had an area equal to that
of many of the states OF the union.
The lake had its great depth where the
town OF fallon now stands, and Judging
from exterior signs still eNtant, the
depth could not have been less than
50J feet at this point. Rattlesnake hill
was submerged to a depth OF at least
POO feet.
The story Of this great lake, which
modern day writer's refer To as La
Fontaine, has been told in the reports
of the United States Geological survey
and in many other popular geologles.
To those who have just come to this
great land OF the forgotten sea, its his
tory may contain many points OF in
terest.
In brief the story is this: AT a
period OF ancient times SO remote that
its computation by years is II matter OF
impossibilty, and long before the earli-
est trace we find of the human race, the
range OF mountains now called the
Sierra Nevadas was raised by II natural
process. There Is no evidence to show
that this mountain chain was formed
by convulsions, but on the contrary the
same agencies that are still in operation
to day raised the proud peaks that
now turn their snow capped submits
heaVenWard.
The recent disaster in California was
probably caused 10y slipping III the
mountainous formations OF the coast
range, one part OF the mountains be
ing perhaps raised above its former
level This repeated at interval,
through thousands OF years has raised
the rocks,httle by little until mountain.

During and after the time that the
Sierra Neyadas were being built up OF
one side OF us, the Rocky Mountains
were being elevated on the east OF us

 All week--PrOfessor ssmri s. Bald win.
 Theatregoers of Montgomery for the coming week will have presented Tor the delectation. as great variety or the art dramatic, perhaps. as they nave eyed had during a period of seven days in the last few years.
 It is a far cry from the Hitting airs of the American musical comedy to dramatic production of Richard Wag- ner It Is far, also, from the wiles or the Hindoo fakirs to the problem Of modern American socialistic tendencies. And yet, all these are to be represented on the boards of Montgomery theatres during the coming week, Wagner, mus ical comedy. socialisn-the materialis- tic sensuousnes of the cult--and the fegerdemain of the student of oriental lore.
 Three winters ago "Parsifa11 was first produced in dramatic form in America. It was presented in New York and Chicago. Everywhere 1t ap- peared it was the signal for the wealth and culture of the metropolitan cities to flock to the theatre. Wagner was the vogue. the rage. and Of Wagner, nothing had ever been so popular as 'sParsifaI" Tomorrow night. the pro- |ductton will be played on the boards of the Montgomery Theatre. under the management Of Emory and Martin. with John Lane OConnor In the role of "Parsifal" and Virginia Heating as Kundry.'
 It is a story of the triumph of good over evil. "Parsifal." It Is the embodi- ment of certain spiritual and psychic forces which Wagner wove into his music Kundry Is the spirit, condemn ed for mockery of the Redeemer, to a servitude perpetual to Evil as an un- willing temptress. She must serve Evil until her chains of bondage are broken by the resistance of a spirit which she cannot tempt. She plies every art of her witchery to drag her victim down, praying meanwhile that she may not succeed. so that she may at last be freed from her unwilling servitude.
 The play, allegorically shows that the heart that is really chaste is clad in an armor which vice cannot break or batter in.
 The production of tomorrow night. is of course, the dramatic version Of the Wagner theme, without the music During It's southern tour, 1t has creaf- ed the most, laudatory criticisms, wherever seen. It is the play of alt plays on the American etage today where congregate as auditors tho wealth and culture of communities. In addition to its literary and dramatic value pure and simple, it Is set off to advantage by gorgeous scenic sur roundings which make of 1t an artistic triumph.
 For New Years Day, the Montgona- cry Theatre will present Rev. Thomas Dixon's dramatizationt of the novel ''The One Woman" Probably no oth- er producer of fha Arnaricat, dra nnatin writers has attracted greater attention

 Profeusor samri 2. Baldwin.
 Professor s. 8. Baldwin, the famed royal white Mahatma. is known in the larger cities of the world as an enter tainer of great merit He created an enormous excitement years ago as mystery worker and exposer of frauds. He went to India and there investigat- ed the mysteries and feats Of the Thi- betean Mahatmas, and all over the Orient created most profund sensa- tion. He toured Great Britain and drew enormous audiences. He has made four complete tours around the globe.
 Since his last return to America he has appeared in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia and in other large cities in the United States. In every case his entertainments were given in the best theatres.
 The results achieved are almost in- credible. and without parallel. Those who hear of these manifestations for the first time often sheer at them as being entirely beyond credence, but when they attend become most enthu- siastic admirers.
 The London Telegraph says FroIes- sor Baldwin is undoubtedly the greatest hufnorous entertainer since the days of Artemus Ward, and his program Is the premier amusement sensation In the world today. He presents re- markable travesty' on spiritualism, oc- cult work. and alleged supernatural- ism, the mental experiments being the most thrilling and sensational ever given in any part of the earth; and as to fun, we doubt if Mark Twain and Artemus Ward combined could produce as much laughter in a dozen evenings as Professor Baldwin did at this seance last night"
 The company engaged by Professor Baldwin is the best that can be pro- cured. Each artist is selected from the best that have appeared at Keith's, Proctor's, Hammerstein's. The New York Roof Garden, The Londen Pavil- ion and other first-class theatres.
 Every item on the program is novel and attractive, high-class in every par ticular.
 No company in this line carries such gorgeous scenery, or produces the beautiful effects and elaborate display. l

saThe One Woman.


 Thomas Dixon, Jr., in his newest play '"rhs One Woman" comes to the Mont gomery Theatre (New Year's) matinee and night.
 In creating the characters of '"rhe One Woman" Mir. Dixon merely tried to construct a play showing a realistic and yet intensely human cross section of modern life permeated as 1t is with Socialism. All the high lights and dra- matic incidents were placed at their true value, and by the time the crea- tive genius of this Southern dramatist had finished, a great, throbbing, thrill ing play, brimfull of human interest, was attracting the staid and blase theatre goer as we'll as the novice.
 The moral which is implied, and which appears only between the lines. is as dominant as though cast in statute of deashless bronze and placed among the players.
 From the first act to the last ''The One Woman" abounds in action which is exhilarant. with never a tagging mo- ment. and yet all is in perfect boise, proportion and balance. showing the delft hand of the master dramatist.
 With many side lights on Socialism in all It's materialistic sensuousness and unfaithfu1ness there is ever in the background a great love story that is sane and wholesome. The noble, good and beautifully old fashioned love Of Ruth in contrast with the base, ignoble. animalistic passion of Hate. brings to the front the natural instinct which de- mands that the play turn out right in the end. The comedy element is by no means lacking in The One Woman" The tragic moments are ever being re- lieved by irresistible hunor~ta
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-12-30

When, on the first night of "The Law and the Man" Laekaye said he had met with difficulty not only in finding manager who would produce the play, but also one who could pronounce the IIuRo title Lay -mees-e-rah- -bles," and had finally got 1t on the stage by re- christening 1t in English monosyllables, I half expected that William A. Brady would spring out before the curtain and do verbal if not fistic violence to the actor-author. Lackaye's joke will he taken as a truth by people who think themselves more intelligent than the men who make a business of the drama. The reason why managers were shy of the piece is that, notwithstanding It's soIid Hugo basis and clever Lackaye structure, 1t was after all a melodrama.
 However, that fault in the eyes of hyiper-critics may be seen as a merit in tbe hroader vision of the multitude. Why should the word "melodrama" be construed as an epithet of disdain? I,aekaye felt called upon to say to the. sndience as though in defense of his work, that nothing else than naAin-
