not and it is now understood that it
will be forthcoming with the Septem-

the contest will be a close one. Both
gentlemen have the endorsement of
many friends, and the outcome of the

a letter received at the post Office de-

finally been sent to the postmaster

western postmaster at a small Office

pany by the entertainments of the

belief that high-class stock compan-

is what makes the difference. The
stock company is at no travelling ex-
pense and It is in a position to build
up a reputation that is lasting. On
the other hand the stock company
must pay big royalties, because the
repertoire must be large enough for
a weekly change during the season;
the newspaper advertising is expen-
sive and all the other expenses are
higher than they would be in a small
err town. MY idea is to take com
