MODERN IDEAS OF SCENERY
Why "The CIansman" Is Mounte d
 With Sucf, Attention to Detail

A closer intimacy between the stage and the public has brought about the necessity for more elabo- rate and expensive stage settings. In the old days the glamour surround ing the actor was intensified by h.s seclusion from the general public. maintain the illusion of acting than it is for the modern actor. Hence the necessity for scenery so life-like that it will help the actor to get away from himself. Another reason just as potent is the knowledge that the public now possesses of how stage effects such as thunder and lightning, rain, etc., are produced. The wiser the public becomes as to the mechan ieal ccntrivances of the stage the greater the ip,< 'rtanaa of the scenery being natural enough to maintain the illusion. The importance of scen- ic effects in plays laid in the south is aecentuated because Ca atmosphere" is the scenes of which are laid in this sect ion.
 One of the first steps taken by George H. Brennan in preparing for the tour of Thomas Dixon, Jr's., play, "The Clansman," which will be seen at the Elks theater in this city next Thursday, January II, matinee and night. was to arrange for scenic ssttin@ of the play that will be not able fer accuracy, beauty and illus ion.

TALK SYSTEMS
CONSOLIDATED
A Cooperative Consolidation Which
Is Not a herger---WhOIe COun-
ty Now Enjoys Benefits
of One System
OF GREAT ADVANTAGE To PEOPLE

The consolidation of all the tele
phone companies operating in Garfield
county has been effected, and all lines
will now be operated Interchangeable
as one big system. This arrangement
was consummated Thursday when E.
M. Burgess. general superintendent
of the Colorado Telephone company,
w. S. Ford, of Boston, and w. S.
Paikison, of this city went to New
Castle to confer with the committee
appointed by the Garfield County
Telephone company to make the best
terms possible with the Colorado com
pany. The result of this conference
was contract by which the lines of
the Garfield county company should
be connected with the Colora,iu lines
in West Glenwood and the advantages
have been practically doubled to sub
scribers on both systems and this too,
without the annoyance of being oblig-
ed to Install two telephones
This means that the present. sub
scribers of the Colorado can now talk
to all the subscribers of the Garfield
system through the New Castle ex-
change free Of any charge whatever,
and of course gives the Garfield com
pany's subscl ibers in the lower coun-
try the same advantages over the Col
orado line that the subscribers of that
company have previously enjoyed.
In addition to this the two switch
boards at Rife will be connected,
which will give the Subscribers of the
Rifle creek and the south side lines
connection with the Colorado but for
this privilege small toll will be
charged the party making the call.
In all this arrangement the corpor-
ate indentity of each company has
been maintained and each organiza-
tion will govern its own business
transactions as heretofore, the great
advantage in the arrangement being
the increased service without the in
convenience and additional expense of
two telephones. This Is splendid
arrangement and all should rejoice
that it has been brought about in such
harmonious fashion aud to such
great advantage to the people.

TdxidermiStS Need No License

Ta1idermists of the state are not
required to pay the state license fee
in spite of the alleged law, according
to decision of Judge s. L. Carpen-
ter in the criminal court says the
Denver Post. The opinion affects
scores of men in the business named.
Hugo Todenworth was accused of
violating the law of 1899, which regu-
altes taxidermists and provides H.
cense. His attorney attacked the law
on two main grounds; First. that the
title to the act is not broad enough to
include taxidermists; and, second,
that the police power Of the state does
not authorize legislation to regulate
this class of business
There were no other points directed
against the statutes, but Judge Car
penter declared the law absolutely IN.
constitutional on the grounds named.
The state cannot appeal and taxider-
mists will probably pay tax no long

A TRANSPARENT Scheme

The Pilot has collected several
hundred Patterson pennies, some of
them coming from as far away as Cal
iforuia. 1t may be only penny. but
it is protest against judiciary
which convicts without giving the
accused chance to prove his charges ;
and it is an endorsement of fee
press, without which our institutions
would not long survive. "-Steamboat
Pilot.
When man calls you liar you
don't usually stop to argue the ques.
tion with him. You use the power
that is at hand, and if it be a legiti-
mate power 60 much the better for
you. That was the condition which
faced the supreme court of Colorado,
and be 1t said to its favor, it gave Mr..
Patterson a chance to clear his skirts
and he failed.
The penny ante system is nothing
more than a transparent democratic
plan to stir up sympathy for a con.
victed offender. Even were 1t posi-,
hle to raise the 81, 600 fine, IT is not
at all probable that Senator Patterson
would lower his dignity by accepting
1t, and this must be we'll known to
the persons who are attempting to
work the sympathetic. % Craig

South Canon Sale will Not Be Made

The sale of the mines of the South
Canon Coal company, advertised for
last Monday morning, has been de-
ferred, pending motion for writ OF
supersedeas before the supreme court.
This is an action brought by the
South Canon Supply company to Sc
cure judgment against Addison s.
Pratt for sum approximately s12, 900,
which amount the supply company
claims to be due since prior to the
failure of the Boston Coal company.
Since there is now no Boston Colo
RADIO Coal company and since Mr..
Pratt claims he is not the owner of
the property which the plaintiff seeks
to sell, but simply the secretary Of
the company which does own the
property although the rightful owner
of the property is not mentioned as a
defendant in the suit, the Post is at II
loss to know how this property can be
sold to pay the debt, real or assumed,
of some one else or of some other com
pany.
Mr. Pratt. the secretary, and Mr..
W. B. Lewis, general manager of the
new company. say the sale will be
resisted to the highest court in the
land if need be and both we're very
positive in their statements that the
property will not be sold The money
is on hand for the payment of this
claim il it becomes necessary to pay
it but in no event will there be any
transfer in the property or change in
the working plans of same.

Meeting of Town Council

The regular meeting Of the town
council was held Tuesday evening,
having been adjourned from the ev en-
ing previous on account Of the lunch
con.
The session was short and there was
but little of importance before the
board
The matter of the arc light on the
corner by the Kendrick Gotta ges
brought out some discussion, it being
stated by Trustee Voorhees, that the
light was put in at Mr.. Kendrick' 8
request and after he had volunteers g d
TO pay for it The clerk reported
that while MIR. Kendrick did not re-
pudiate his agreement he would pay
the amount under protest, il at all.
The board seemed of the opinion that
Kendrick should keep his agreement
to the present time and the board
maintain the light in the future.
Some time ago the board voted $35
for high school gymnasium on con-
dition that the school board should
contribute like amount for that pur-
pose. The trustees having heard of
no action by the school board voted to
rescind the former motion.
Liquor bonds were presented and
approved and bills against the town
were allowed.
The clerk was instructed to force
payment of all street rents due the
town by those having buildings on
any of the streets.
Mayor Parkison stated that dele
cation from the Garfield County Tel
ephone company had been in town on
Monday expecting to appear before
the council Monday night but that it
was impossible for them to remain for
the Tuesday night meeting. He
asked the trustees concerning their
wishes in the matter of calling a
special meeting to confer with these
gentlemen if it seemed necessary and
this was agreeable to all the trustees.

to make the filing but says the filing
was made before he knew the land
