'Shakespeare's great plays depend
50 little upon scenic effects that, in
Mr.. Blanchard's recitals the audi

The chief subject for discussion
was that of securing an increased
price for siloing. A committee was
appointed To await on Manager
Wietzer and ask the following
changes in the contracts:
First Payment for siloing to be
increased to 80 cents per ton
Second When beets are hauled
to the dump and no cars are ready,
beets to be unloaded on the ground.
Third A more equitable distribu-
tion of orders whereby there shall be
no discrimination in favor of distant
growers.
Fourth Beet growers at eacn sta
tion to have a man in the tare room
to watch the taking of tares.
Fourth Dump charges to be eli
minated.
All the requests were granted ex-
cept that regarding the charge for
the use of the dumps, which was
taken under advisement. W. NJ

"psvi Jones.

The body of Paul Jones, who has
been called the father of the Ameri-
can navy. whose career Is said to have
started as pirate. is now resting in
the naval cemetery at Annapolis.
awaiting the completion of the crypt
in the new cathedral. where il is to
be finally placed. The finding of
Jones body by the American ambas-
sador and its subsequent removal to
this country, has caused an amount
of publicity regarding the great sea
rover. such as he had never received
in life or any time since his death.
Engravings and paintings of Jones
are almost priceless now.
Among other things for which the
finding of Jones body is responsible.
is a revival of the greatest comic
opera of its time, named for the
great hero and supposed to be
founded on part of his life. Matt
Grau is responsible for this revival.
He is presenting Rose Cecilia Shay.
. who has forsaken the grand opera
field. in the title role. One of the
principal reasons this opera has been
so little seen or heard in the past few
wears was the difficulty of finding a
prima donna capable of taking the
leading role.
Probably no comic opera ever be-
ing produced for the first time or
being offered as a revival has had
the advantages of better scenic
effects, better costuming or a better
singing company. Coupling that
with the fact that Paul Jones' con-
tains more catchy. clever music. and
more clean. original humor than
almost any two comic operas pro-
duced in the last two years it is
small wonder that its success has
been simply remarkable. Paul

location of a Pullman office at La

venience TO the travelling public
Considerable trouble has been ex-
perienced in the past in reserving
Pullman berths out of this city. and
there never has been any positive
assurance that a traveller would be
successful in securing reservation.
Under the new conditions when a
Pullman conductor leaves Albuquer-
que he wires the local Office as to the
number of berths available on his
train. and a diagram is kept at La

that trouble occurred Sunday at tho
junction Of the Southern Pacific aud
Goldfeld and Tonapah Railroads, when
the second section of train carrying
strikebreakers for the street car lines in
San Francisco arrived. A number OF
union miners met the train and hooted
the strikehreakers. A stone was thrown
through car window, and it was
answered by shot. A number of the
men ON lie train jumped off, The con-
ductor gave the signsi to go ahead, but
the strikebreakers stopped the train and
delayed it 80 minutes A hundred or
more dismounted and, brandishing re-
yoIvers, hurled defiance at the union
men. Fifty or more delegates to the
republican Stale convention at Tonapah
and crowd on the way TO the Gold
field prize fight took TO the sagebush.
When the train was finally started a
crowd with reviewers stood on the rear
platform. A. they passed several miners
the latter hurled stones at them. Fully
so shots we're fired from the train. One
hat was struck, but no one was hurt.
Not shot was fred by the miners, who
we're the only ones LETT about the station,
except employees, when the stiikebreak-
