Some swell ties at Nathan's.

The richly prolific rural comedy
drama, Uncle Josh Perkins," is down
for two nights engagement at Red
Men opera house on Dec. 10 and 20.
The play of which Uncle Josh" is the
central figure, possesses merit of the
real sort and at times is roundly melo-
dramatic and strenuous, and teaches
a good, wholesome lesson all the way
through the four acts. The atmos-
phere of both farm and city life sat
urates the play, connected by pretty
tinge Of romance. coupled with brusque
masculine sympathy and natural coun.
try attraetiveness, Its primitiveness
is of the fields and Is as free from
impurity as the crystal springs, while
the characters used to typify the city
folks are interesting and far removed
from the ones usually worked in by
tho dramatist to bolster up melodrama
The character of Uncle Josh" is one
that the auditor never grows weary of
in its repetition; 1t is full of rugged.
ness. honesty and sincerity and at
times quite picturesque. combined
with that native Yankee shrewdness
and simplicity, so characteristic Of tho
New England farmer. Uncle Josh"
will continue to live and amuse long
after some of the later day stage
characters have been forgotten. The
play has been given complete new
scenic equipment for coming tour and
many novelties In the way OF stage
mechanism and light effects are
brought into requisition. Hign-class
and high-priced specialties. by artists
engaged specially for their fitness to
furnish numbers which harmonize with
the play. are introduced from time
to lime through the various acts.
Taken all in all. 1t can safely be said
that the visit of Uncle Josh Perkins"
to Durango will be taken full advan-
tage of by our playgoers and bumper
house will doubtless greet him and
his clever band Of entertainers. Seats
are on sale at Tiffany's. Prices 75c.

Durango Evening Herald:
In all Durango's history no time has
been more propitious for n concerted
movement of our citizens toward Sc
curing a federal building at this point
than the present
We all know that congress be
grudgingly appropriates for public
buildings except for those commnni-
ties in sympathy with the party in
power. For instance the state of Ohio
during the Sixtieth congress received
80 per cent of the funds for public
buildings, while Pennsylvania and New
York received so per cent, leaving a
balance of 90 per cent of the ap-
preparations TO be disbursed over forty
three states.
An enlightened public policy would
seem to actuate the government to
lend assistance in the upbuilding OF
ing broad natural resources and com.
mercial advantages such as Durango
possesses. But still this city has been
signally sighted in the matter of a
public building, while Boulder. Fort
Collins. Leadville, Glenwood and Grand
Junction have been bounteously aided
by the government.
Nothing can retard the growth of
this city. Her destiny is population
greater than all of the foregoing cities
combined. We may hold ourselves
backward for a spell, but while we
sleep Durango moves on.
/ suggest as an inducement for fed
eral recognition that our public spir-
tied citizens get together, raise a fund
by popular subscription, purchase a
site for a federal building donate the
same to the government and see to
1t that our congressional delegation
.."go down the line" for an adequate
appropriation, and l am pleased to
start the list with a check for s25.
