COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES.
How They Can Aid In the improvement
Of Towns.

What cooperative societies can do
toward the building up Of town Is
shown by the success of the following:
Athol, Kan. boasts Of three co-opera-
tive Industries controlled and almost
entirely owned by nearby farmers who
have invested their surplus capital in
building up the town, says the Arena.
There are the Athol Cooperative Grain
company, with an elevator which han
dies $1,000 bushels of grain and which
In 1906 disposed of 130 carloads Of
grain TO the entire satisfaction OF the
farmers. and the Farmers Shipping as
sociation, which handled l29 cars Of
stock and made sales amounting to
s130 O56.12, besides 1858 collected as
damages from railroads. or this
amount the shareholding farmers re-
ceived S129.354.s0 The Peoples Lum-
ber company is the latest venture OF
the farmers. and II is believed 1t will
prove successful.

JOSH
HAS A BIRTHDAY
Denman Thompson, Veteran
Actor, Passes The 18th
Milestone.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Denman
Thompson, the veteran actor, who dur
ing the past 20 years has been a
familiar figure to audiences through
out the country as Uncle Joshua Whit
comb in The Old Homestead" enter
ed upon his seventy fifth year today
and was the recipient of food of
congratulations from members of the
theatrical profession and from other
friends and admirers throughout the
country. He is now playing at the
Academy of Music in this city. 1t is a
farewell engagement, for the age and
failing health of the veteran actor will
make his permanent retirement from
the stage imperative after the close OF
tho present season.
For more than half a century Mr.
Thompson has been before the public
been connected with The Old Home
stead" Rugged and strong he has
carried his years well, though twice in
late years illness has forced him to
take a rest and retire to the quiet of
his New Hampshire home.
Mr.. Thompson was born in Erie
county, Pennsylvania, in 1888, his pa
rents having gone there from New
Hampshire. When he was IA years old
the family returned to Swanzey, N. H,
and there Denman attended school and
worked at carpentry. In the spring OF
1850 he went to BosDon and joined a
small circus as properly boy, subse-
quently developing into an acrobat.
His first appearance on the stage
was as super" with Charlotte Cush-

CANYON ROAD
TOO NARROW

BEND, Ore, Oct. 1.-THE big trac-
ton outfit of the Central oregon
Transportation & Forwarding COM
pany, designed to draw freight and
wheat between Shaniko and Madras,
made a very satisfactory trip on its
way out from Shaniko until 1t reached
Cow Canyon, when it had to turn back
and await the widening of the track
down the canyon, the road being too
narrow to permit the road train to
pass. In addition to the trouble at the
narrow places. there was some difficult
ty along the sidehill grades, the road
bed giving way under the heavy engine
and running it off the grade. These
difficulties having rendered further
progress of the engine impossible, 1t
turned back to Shaniko TO get new
supply of fuel oil and await the wild
ening of the road This week the Cow
Canyon grade is being put in good
shape, and it is thought when the
grades are widened there will be no
difficulty in bringing the engine in.
The work in Cow Canyon viii also be
a great benefit to freighters.

PUTS COLOR
IN PICTURES

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Antoine
Lumiere of France, hailed as the father
of real color photography, has arrived
here on business connected with his
interests in this country.
Color photography" said Mr.. Luz
biere yesterday, 'is an assured fact.
The great step has been made in the
production of the shades on glass and
the printing on paper can easily be
achieved. 1t win only be a short time
before it Is done.
"The result will, of course, not be
so clear as that which is now obtained
from glass. for the reason that it must
be accomplished by means of reflected
light, while the colors may be shown
with brllliancy by means of a trans
parent medium like glass, which is now
employed"
Lumiere may arrange for some DEM
onstrations of his new art while here.
Some remarkable positives have been
already shown In this country by AL
fred Stieglitz. who made them from
Lumiere plates, which he had obtained
in Europe. The photograph them
selves were made near Munich. The
first color photograph is yet to be taxi
en- in the United States and win prob
ably be prepared by the inventor him.

her brother joined the official service
Miss Hurd thought she would better
her position by appearing on the stage
and therefore took the rather queer
name Of Aurora Dian. In her detective
capacity she had often disguised her
self when employed in obtaining evil
dence and was remarkably talented in
changing her face and figure. This art
she used with great success in her new
profession and speedily made her mark
as an impersonator OF various charac-
tiers out Of novels. As Becky Sharp, as
Little Dorrit, she was said TO be inim-
liable. and after playing under several
arrangements she started. in the phrase
OF the profession, "a show Of her own"
and rapidly made money.
