and one from Michigan. one from New

carload would you pay the highest

Promptly the answer came: The COL

"As buyer of apples. you should
know; but is that your market opinion!
without question, If the proposition
was as you stated, that the buying be
done without examination. We should
however. prefer to examine the
apples"
why would you pay more for the
Colorado carr"
Because, as l stated previously. we
know from experience that Colorado
apples billed as first grade can be de-
pended on to prove first grade"
"Then infer that shipments from
the other states mentioned cannot be
depended upon to meet your require
ments for first grade"
Eyes, that is true, They mix first
and second grades, which results in
lower prices on all their shipments.
Don't you really think that the pri-
mary reason for Colorado's supremacy
in the apple market is due to the fact
that she produces more first grade ap-
pies than any other state in America?"
"Well yes, perhaps that is true.
But don't forget to tell your growers
what said about the packing"
The same article in the Red Book
tells of an extensive New York dealers
in fancy fruits, who is inclined to give
Oregon apples credit of superiority ov-
er Colorado apples. He was asked:
"Do you handle first grade Colorado
apples!"
He replied. "Oh yes, l know all

ment of expense would cut no figure

II would engage the pest stage director,

Afterward would try to get new

not"
But Mr. Hotaling has another plan,

consummation of his national theater

in the theatrical line must be done
soon. if at all.
My other plan is to go about the
country and take leads in stock COM
panies, playing .shakespearean and
classical roles where otherwise they
would not be played. Look at the
Tivoli theater. See what that insti-
tuition did for musical culture in San
Francisco. They had some of the most
glorious singers that the world has
ever listened to and if anybody would
have offered more than dollar and a
half for a ticket there would have been

tions in music center there at the
Tivoli, and see how cheaply it was
done. Or take the Alcazar theater;
what splendid things are done there.

taste for art interested themselves in
the project. 1t was in my mind to as
semble such influence as could COM
mand and get some of our artist busi-
nessmen, professional men and pro-
fessional artists to put up the money
with me and build theater. Then l
would install a play reading bureau
and arrange for the presentation of
such works as commended themselves
TO our play experts. l would not con-
fine the enterprise to the production
of American works alone, but would
present transiations from the best
works Of foreign authors. American
writers would have the preference
however, and the theater would be
devoted as far as possible to the de-
velopment of native and local talent

Il also believe that the public would

Much has been written about Hotal-
ing: he has been laughed at and joked
with; he has been enjoyed in his classic
portrayaIs. and he has added to his
own notoriety by frequent incursions
snto the columns OF the public press.
Meanwhile he is playing Richelieu and
Cassius and Brutus and other classic
roles across the bay. and thus becomes
