ADJUSTMENTS.
HANFORD HERE FRIDAY.

Charles B. Hanford has made it an
absolute rule to make each of his an
nual productions as much of an i'm
proVement on its predecessors as ex-
penditure OF money and energy could
accomplish. When Mr.. Hanford's tour
closed in May last, his manager Mr..
F. Lawrence Walker made the an
nouncement that it had been the most
prosperous season Mr.. Hanford had
ever known. The prosperity which
this popular star has enjoyed of later
years has been manifested not in ex-
penditure for matters Of personal lux
ury but in his productions. He has
made his performances his chief in
terest and the public which has been
so loyal to him for many years has
beeen able to regard the money paid in
the box office during a Hanford en-
gagement, as being in a sense, an in
vestment which would bear returns in
the shape of greater and bigger pro-
auctions in the seasons yet to come
The public selects a few actors out
of each generation as the accepted ex-
ponentS of ShakeSpearian plays.
These actors are regarded as being in
sense custodians of a trust. They
are only recognized after many sea-
sons of probation. The enthusiasm
which has always greeted Mr. Ham
fo,d has demonstrated that ne didn't
err in aiming at the highest possible
achievement in his profe ss;on, and in
app -ng his energies and re~uurc.s
entirely to the greatest works of .ne
standard drama despite the compla:n-
ing assertion Of worthy wise mana,:-
ers that shakespeare spells ruin" Mr..
Hanford's management announces a
greater cast and greater produc-
ton for the forthcoming representa-
ton Of Julius Caesar at the keylur
Crane, Friday, All 5, than ne has
ever before given. The play is on-
Which conamnds the fullest re- ,urces

Las VEGAS ICE
PLANT BURNED

News was received here yesterday
by telephone from Beatty that the ice
plant at Las Vegas had been destroy
ed by fire. The origin of the fire was
not known.
The loss is a very serious one, for
the estimated cost of the plant was
100000. 1t was of the very latest
design, and equipped with every
modern device. 1t had been in OPP
Grafton only through one season,
having been completed last year.
The loss will be severely felt in the
southern country, for they were ship
ping ice from there as far up this way
as Goldfield. 1t was used also as a
refrigerating station for the trains
out of Los Angeles, and also for the
trains from the east bound to Los
Angeles, as we'll as those coming
through Goldfield and Tonopah.
The plant was owned by Las Vegas

MAY COMPLETE THE
RAILROAD BY FALL
MONO LAKE AND ToNoPAH RAIL-
ROAD MEANS MUCH FOR
SOUTHERN NEVADA.

There is possibility of the Mono
Lake and Tonopah railroad being
completed before the end of the fall,
which would mean much to southern
Nevada. AS is known, Charles E.
Knox, president of the Montana
Tonopah Mining company, is one OF
the leading spirits in this railroad
enterprise, and Mark L. Kerr, con-
sulting engineer of the mine who ar
rived here on Thursday, is also con-
sulting engineer of the railroad.
Mr.. Kerr came here from Bodie,
where he met and conferred with
Mr.. Knox on the progress of the rail-
road, and one of the best reasons in
the world for the haste is that 1t
would enable them to bring wood
and lumber in here in the winter and
thus solve the fuel problem.
1t rests with the Southern Pacific
as to whether this can be done. Har-
riman's line has in contemplation a
ROAD through Wh1skey Flat which
would give Bodie direct connection
with Tonopah. This portion of the
Southern Pacific, if the work were
pushed at once would be brought to
point opposite Warm Springs,
where the Mono Lake and Tonopah
lnie is to connect with it, inside Of
sixty days The grading of the line
ten or twelve miles. could be easily
accomplished by the Mono Lake COM
pany in the time specified, and the
matter of ties and rails would cause
no delay. The ties could be taken
from the saw mill of the company
and the rails would be ready as soon
as they are needed.
Mr.. Kerr says that the work of

Among the papers was Langdon's in
junction complaint and the supervi-
sors' answer. In the former Lang
don swore that one of his objects in
resisting removal from office was the
prosecution of various supervisors
for crimes of bride taking. Now
these supervisors have turned states
evidence and by Langdon have been
promised immunity. Hence Delmas'
purpose in getting the paper into re-
cord is to discredit the prosecution in
his argument to the jury. In answer
to Langdon's complaint eighteen su-
pervisors, including Boxton, swore
that they were each and all guiltless
of the crime of bride taking or of
any crimes. From this Delmas can
argue that Boxton is a perjurer;
therefore his testimony against Glass,
in having accepted bride from Hal
sey of the telephone company, is not
worthy of belief.
Other witnesses called were Presi-
dent Homer s. King of the Bank of
California, director of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, and Henry T. Scott and Frank
G. Drum, respectively president and
director of that corporation. The ex-
animation Of King was to draw from
him statement in effect that Glass,
as acting president. was the only Of
fetal with authority to sign checks or
o. X. disbursements without authori-
cation by the directors. The attempt
was moderately successful. Drum
testified that he knew in general
way from Halsey that rooms in the
Mills building We're to be used for in
Reviewing supervisors on the rival
telephone subject and that Halsey de-
sired secrecy. The examination OF
Scott was to determine among other
things that after bribery prosecution
storm broke Glass shipped Halsey out
Of San Francisco in disguise to Ma
Mia. gave him position there with
the telephone company and also
caused him to be carried on the pay
rolls of the San Francisco company

spending stage money was Scotty's
strong point. He said that Scotty
burned more powder every night
than there was burned in the Span
ish war. He gave me a whole lot
more smoke, and 1 began to think
that was Dead Shot Dick of the
desert. Then he said that there
would be box for me and my FAM
lily at Scotty's every night: and that's
where he lost out. He had me saw
ing stage coaches from bandits, and
rescuing burning girls, no girls, from
burning mines. He wanted to intro
duce real burros on the stage, and
said that he and could make a mint
of money.
Well, we had another drink, and
he forgot where he left off, and then
told him that would see the folks
about the box. But / never did see

and I know that she wanted to say
that was getting softening of the

she didn't. She just said: Jim,

again he has dashed over the same

one afternoon looking for me, and l
was somewhere away at the mines.
But he had two or three wads with
the boys and he told some of my old
gang what he wanted. He was
Scotty's theatrical manager, and he
confided the news to them that he
wanted to make star of me, to put
me on the stage. Then he said he
would have the best team on the
stage. Me on the stage! Wasn't
that hot one Well the boys rib
bed it up until came back, and then
they told me about it.
II was buying the house one day,
or part of it, when he came in, and
the boys told him that l was there;
and they presented me. He nearly
blinded me; he was all lit up. He
had headlight in his shirt front
that would have put the searchlight
