Several queries have been made
with reference to the possibility of
the saloons opening up at once, or as
soon as licenses could be granted
by the city council. 1t is the opinion
of several lawyers that the license
law will not permit the saloons to
open up in a dry town until July 1.

Real Estate Movement.

The very best evidences that can be
advanced Of the stable value of real
estate is when the old residents them
selves are the purchasers Of all property
placed on the market. When one has
lived for couple of years in a certain
neishoorhood. he is expected to know the
value Of land in that vicinity and when
he is willing 10 invest in property it may
be set down as cert .inty that the price
is not Inflated.
The only real estate purchasers report
ed for some time past have been resi-
dents o. this vicinity for at least a couple
Of ears. Last week the Enterprise told
OF S. S. 5aIley's purS7sse Of a tract of
land adjoining his place; t7Is week our
Lafayette eorress onden; tails OF another
real estate transfer in the same neigh

QUIETLY wEDOED.
And Steal Away for a Few Days by
Themselves.

The best executed endeavor to thwart
the superabundant expressions of heart
lest congratulations was that which fol-
lowed the Rex-EIser nuptials for a few
days.

Sunday evening Rev. Frank w. Otto was
aui,.ly escorted to the Elser home on
South Tenth street. and there IN the

The wedding party quietly dispersed
after the ceremony. and at 4:2o o'clock
next morning the newly-wedded pair
boarded the train for Pueblo. Not until
noon next day did the marriage become
known even to the groom's partners in
the Big Four Grocery. and they were
greatly surprised when the news got out.

ROCKY FORD COLORADO FRIDAY JANUARY 15 1909.
HIS LAST WORDS.
Governor Buchtel.s Message to the
State LEGISLATURE.

Gov. Henry Augustus Buchtel caus-
ed almost as much of flutter in the
dovecotes of the state legislature
Monday as a Roosevelt message does
i'll the national assembly. The state
executives message was original and
unhackneyed. 1t took up large
amount of space in dealing with the
states educational institutions. 1t
compared the work OF the University
of Denver. of which Henry Augustus
Buchtel is chancellor, with that per-
formed by the University OF Colora-
do, which receives large appropria-
tions from the state, and in his esti-
mate the privately maintained institu-
ton is superior to the other. Gov.
Buchtel questioned the wisdom of du-
plication in the several state educa-
tional institutes supported in whole
or in great part by the state. He
believes that the work OF the State
university and the work of the School
of Mines and that of the Agricultural
college should be each distinctive of
the institution. 1t is his conviction
that greater attention and more of
the taxpayers contributions should
be given to primary education.
Gov. Buchtel defended his course
in granting holiday pardons and
pleaded earnestly with the legislature
to provide funds whereby the con-
victs NAV continue at work on road
building.
Altogether the message was opti-
mistic as well as original. The Six
teenth General assembly passed ad-
mirable laws, which are working
well. There is not much to do for
the present assembly. Amendments
to certain laws. are advocated, but on
the whole Colorado seems to have
suffciency of statutes. The state
health department is in need of more
money. The work of the pure food
inspector has been Of great service to
the people and the report OF that Of
fcer is as fascinating as a romance"
Colorado is prosperous. The state
land board has returned more money
into the treasury than for any other
biennial period and there is great de-
mand for school lands.
The message concluded with . quo
tation from old Omar the Persian
tent maker and versifier as a warning
to the Seventeenth General assembly
not to get the "swelled head"

LYRIC Theatre.

While Manager Clark of the Lyric
theatre was in the east a few days ago
he succeeded in making arrangements
for a fine line of independent motion
pictures As q sample of the kind Of
bill he will furnish his patrons in the
future, he presents this weeks pro-
gram. He announces to the public that
hereafter, as has been the policy before.
nothing but the very highest order in
the motion picture line will be flashed
upon the curtain at the Lyric. This
week he has with him three pictures
that all deserve first place upon the
bill. but so evenly matched are they
that il would only be fair TO mention
them all. First on the program is the
picture entitled Malta" or the Italian
Secret Black Hand society. Everybody
has heard or read OF this terrible secret
order. of countless numbers that are
such a terror to the Italians. In this
picture is shown their haunts, methods
and the formation of their plots 1t is
picture exciting from the time it is
first flashed upon the screen to the end.
But where the strong point of the bill
this week centers is upon good, clean
comedy, There are several pictures of
this nature upon the program, but the
funniest of them all is one entitled
The Wild Man From BoTneo." This
is said to be the funniest picture ever
seen i'm this city. Another picture
which finishes the trio of excellent
.headHners is THE Chimney Sweeps
Birthday Dream" a picture from the
Great Northern factory. II is claimed
to be marvellous piece Of work. and
one that will long be remembered by
those who have the good fortune to
witness IT, Other first-Tun pictures. none
of which can be seen elsewhere in this
city, include "Circumstantiai Evidence -
THE Changing of Souls When the
House Rent Was Due" In addition
there are two of the most catchy songs
from the eastern successes and a

"The Rose of the Rancho"

There has been no greater popular
success in salt Lake in years than VIII
lard Mack's presentation of The Rose
of the Rancho" which has drawn
crowded houses at every performance
during the past week. 1t has been a
fine production, and this has led Mr..
Mack to believe that it can be contin-
ued at the Colonial for another week.
At the end of that time he will return
with his company TO the Bungalow,
which is undergoing thorough over
hauling and remOdeling, and will reopen
that house with Hearts Ease"
THE Rose of the Rancho" has been

and romantic dwellings of the early

GAMES TODAY.
Birmingham at Little Rock. Nashville in New Orleans. Atlanta in Memphis. Montgomery in Mobile.

Little Rock, August 31.-(Speeial.)-T Barons gained a lap in the struggle to escape the near-cellar position when they won a to ?, 10-inning game from the Travellers today.
 Mike Finn put on exhibition one of the advance guard of his 1910 recruits in the position of pitcher, Roy Toren, secured from the Greenville, Carolina association, team. Toren pitched a good game out side of one inning. the tenth. He started that by failing to cover first on F'lehartys grounder to Carey. He then hit Henline and passed Ellam, filling the bases, Man ager Molesworth broke up the game by chopping a grounder, which took a lucky bound over Floods head, scoring two runners. Ellam also scored on McGil- vray's grounder to Collins.
 Fleharty appeared to be easy for the Travellers at first, but after they had scored twice in the first inning and missed promising opportunities in the second and third, he settled down and was we'll nigh invincible.
 The Barons scored in the first, which Henline started with single to left. FL lam sacrificed and Moesworth was safe when Collins fumbted his grounder Moley went down to second and Collins tagged him, while Henline remained on third. McGilvray walked and again the double steal was attempted, this time being. sue cessful, Henline sliding in ahead of Col lins' return of the ball.
 They scored again in the third Hen line beat a high bounder to Perry. Ellam sacrificed and speedy Noah scored on Molesworth's hit to center.
 The Travellers opened up briskly. Per sons nearly knocked Larsen's head off with a line drive, when the third-sacker played in for bunt. Hoey sacrificed and Collins scored Persons with a single to right, taking second on the throw-in. Flood hit over third, Collins scored and Flood took second when Henline fum- bled. The next two batters were easy Watson opened the second with double
