NO INCREASE ASSESS
MENT THIS YEAR

County Assessor W. l.. Morris has
returned from Denver where he at
tended the annual meeting of the as :
SCISSORS and the members of the state
board of equalization Mr.. Morris
says that on account of the peculiar
conditions prevailing in this section,
the state board of equalization will
not change the assessment and that
taxes will be substantially the same
as they were last year. 1t was feared
by him that the assessment in Ere.
mont county would be increased this
year and the announcement that it
would not be interfered with was
very gratifying to him. The assess
ment rolls in this county would ha We
shown much larger total If it had
not been for the unfortunate frost

Knobs o. Tennessee.

The beautiful comedy drama, Knobs
O'Tennessee, which is to be present
ed here Wednesday, August IA by the
W. J. Swain Company is one Of the
strongest and most popular plays ever
written by that master mind of the
dramatic art, Mr.. Hal Reid.
Knobs o. Tennessee, Mr.. Reid's
latest play, is said to bo even better
than either Human Hearts" or
Roanoke" by the same author,
which will be remembered with
pleasure by everyone who witnessed
either of them. The scenes Of
Knobs o. Tennessee are laid amid the
foothills of the mountains of Tennessee
which are noted for thier beautiful
scenery and are inhabited by the
moonshiners of that state, whose in
herited belief that they have per-
feet right to make moonshine whis-
key, regardless of government laws to
the contrary, keeps them at constant
war with the government secret
service men.
The play abounds with exciting
climaxes and comedy situations, and
has beautiful love story running
through it from beginning to end.
One solid car load of scenery is car
ried by the Swain Company and they
give the entire show the same as they
did in the big theatres throughout
the East. The entire production has
been placed under mammoth water
proof tent for the summer months.
The Swain company travel in their
own private cars, carry their own
horses and everything necessary to
produce the play properly.

BUILDING LINES Five new
linemen entered the employ of the
Colorado Telephone company this
morning. The company this after
noon started the construction of two
new telephone lines-one to Glen
dale for the exclusive use of the Bea-
yer Land and Water company and the
other to the new cement works seven
miles east of Florence. Individual
lines will be run in each instance.
The work will take about two or
three weeks to complete. The com.
pany will also put in thirty five

with the system in vogue at other
state institutions Warden Cleghorn
has established the plan of paying
salaries of the employees at the peni-

stead of waiting until the middle of

case. The new plan has been en-

most satisfactory to all concerned.
