and grand opera to mclodrama and

what are really the real theatres Of
the new city of New York.
They are the moving picture ard
| combination picture and vaudeville
| shows. There is no one part OF town
! where one can go TO find them; there
| is no Broadway for them, no Bowery
| For they are all over the city-in
every one Of the five boroughs, on
| Broadway in the heart of the theatre
district, on Staten Island, in the far
corners of Williamsburg. AS they
have swept over the United States so
have they invaded New York
One cannot neglect the moving pic
ture shows. In the first place there
are over 500 of them in the city. In
the second place they have been so
successful that they have threatened
the status Of the regular theatres-to
such an extent that a number of the
best playhouses il Manhattan, among
them two of the first-class Broadway
theatres, have been converted into
moving g-picture halls. In summer
many of the regular better class
vaudeville houses are given up en-
tirely to the pictures.
From little establishments in a
twenty-foot-wide store to first-class
playhouses they range. They have
come into the city almost to the ter
ror of the theatre managers. With a
moving picture show on the same
block the attendance of a theatre will
fall off so noticeably as to be appar-
ent to all. That is why few mana
gers have been far-sighted enough to
see that the conversion of theatre
into a cinematograph house would
pay more than the staging of regu-
lation production.
The moving picture shows, with the
price of admission averaging five to
ten cents. naturally cater to the
classes who cannot afford to indulge
in box Office charges of the regular
But their patronage is
not limited to the poorer classes by |
any means.
And thus it is that New York pos
sesses more theatres than London,
Paris and Berlin combined. From ,
the opera and the classical drama,
comedies and light operas,
melodrama and burlesque,
to simple moving pictures, New York
Is theatre-going town. And that is
why the theatres have been built. If
they have been built too fast that IS
another matter.-New York Sun.

Cairying in British Columbia.

ConsulGeneral West, writing to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
from Vancouver, gives some peril
nent facts. relating to the dairy indus
try in that section. The butter made
in the Province of British Columbia,
he states, in 1908 amounted to 1,S46,.
977 pounds, the selling price averag
ing 81 1-2 cents per pound; cheese
179,5OO pounds, averaging 13 1-s
cents. The value of the dairy pro.
duce last year was $3,1OO,OO0. There
are Is cooperative and private
creameries in the Province, all do
ing we'll and earning satisfactory
dividends. The provincial govern
ment aids the establishment of co
operative creameries by loaning the
promoters one-half the cost of the
creamery building plant, and fixtures,
repayable in eight installments with
interest at 5 per cent, the first of such
installments to be paid at the expira
tion of three years and the other sew
en- annually thereafter. The govern.
ment assists cheese factories in the
same way. One was recently started
at Langley with a capacity of 1,oOa
pounds a day, which is producing
cheese of good quantity that meets
with ready sale. This is the first at
tempt at cheese making on a CONNER
cial scale.

Most Powerful Bribe.

Forever and forever, as countries
have grown great in population, grain
famine has threatened the people. AS
Joseph came into his own with corn,
the rulers Of Rome bribed the people
with corn. First it was rebates on
the cost price: then, as the cost of
living continued to mount, it must
be free corn for the rabble-free
corn bought with the treasure and
blood of the rest of the world. Back
of all the political troubles of Eng
land is corn. Some day the United
States will have a population Of a
billion. Our time is coming.-New

ter man for the place can be
found, and no one wantsa change.
For County Clerk Bill Pressly is
an ideal A No. 1, and though he
is running for third term no
opposition to him was ever con
sidered; if he wants it for three
terms more no one will be found
to run against him for the reason
that people have come to look at
| such matters in business way.
No business man would dis
charge an employe for the mere
reason that he had been in his
employ too long. The practice
among business men is to keep
their old employees and raise
their wages occasionally so they
may keep them; and such be the
rule with the county officers, as
long as you have good man in
charge and he is willing to stay,
keep him there. There NAV be
other men lust as good, but
when man is doing all that any
man could do, why take the risk
of making a change? When
things go wrong is the time to
correct an evil, but as Lincoln
SAID, 1T is never a wise thing to
change horses while crossing
stream" If your county officer
is doing alright keep him on the
job; if he is not doing alright dis
charge him and try some one else.
If both candidates are new men
give both fair, honest consider
alton, and vote for the one whom
you think will best serve the
people.

NEXT TUESDAY
IS ELECTION DAY
Go to The Polls and Vote For the
Best Men Available

1t is manifestly the duty of every
citizen rich or poor, taxpayer or not
to go to the polls next Tuesday and
cast his ballot for his honest choice
of candidates and there is no reason
why they should not have a prefer
ence, political or otherwise. You
may have inherited your politics or
had it drilled into you in your youth
by your Irish grandmother or pick
ed it up by listening to others, OF
watching the older boys. Or you
may have studied it out and by read
ing, comparing, Analysing, have de-
cided in your own independent
mind which is the party whose can
didates you want to support, or you
may be personally acquainted with
those candidates and willing to
loosen the party tie in their behalf
However it may be, express your
preference in the interest of good
government as you understand it.
You owe it to the public, the state
and the county, to make the best
possible government and you can't
do it any other way than by voting
your choice. You cannot leave it
to your neighbors and you have
no right to try it. What right have
you to neglect this duty and expect
anything but bad government. You
certainly don't deserve good gov
eminent if you don't work for it any
more than you deserve good wages
when you don't work for them.
Have you any reason to grumble at
hard times or complain of high taxes
or bad government when you don't
take interest enough in your state
or county TO vote? We think every
man should devote that day entirely
to election business, at any rate he
should vote and consider it the
greatest privilege any man on earth
can have.

BATTLE OF THE
SAND-BURR PATCH
Dodge City Foot Ball Team Ad-
ministered "Stickers''

The Meade High School foot ball
team went to Dodge Friday to play
the return game with the school in
that city. Our players have not
said much since they came back but
they looked bedraggled and sat
around nursing themselves and pick
ing briars out of each others systems
for several days. OF course it final
ly came out that the Dodge boys,
knowing they stood no show with
our team on fair field led the poor
innocents out to sand-burr patch,
where, with all the advantages of
pachiderm hides, callous conscien-
ces and team framed up out of all
the odds and ends of their popula-
ton, they won the hardest fought
battle of their lives by a score of
5 to o. If ever our boys catch
those Dodge City fellows away from
home the way they will trounce
them will answer as lesson to them
for all time. They do say that the
way the girls of that town rooted for
the home team among the sand
burrs was to our boys a revelation
and Encouragement.

greater proof of Johns fitness
for the Office can be mentioned
than by calling attention to the
length of time he has held the
Job down. He has been there a
long time; Republicans have put
all kinds of men up against him

mostly good, but such has beer
the peoples faith in John that
they have been re-electing him
right along, and he hopes it has
got to be habit with them which
they will not easily break. John
has held this Office when the sal
airy was insufficient to live on,
and in fact it is only the last year
that it has paid anything over
and above a living, and 1t is but
right that John, who has held the
Job down through adversely,
should have another chance at it
when it pays unreasonable salary.

Found a Buried Town.

Every once in a while excavation in
southern Arizona results in the discovery
of buried village. The most recent
discovery of this kind was made by Frank
c. Erwin at his home, fourteen miles from
CochieS.
Three miles from his ranch Erwin
started to dig an irrigation ditch. Only
few feet under the surface he began to
uncover utensils of a shape and material
which indicated that they had been used
by race probably as old as Cibola, that
strange as the Cibola, that strange peo-
pie whose "Sevep Famous Cities" was
the lure that brought Father Mia and the
negro Estevanicio from the Spanish mis-
sion at Culiscan north along the Sonora
River to the old city of Tabac, near Tus-
con, which expedition was the beginning
OF civilization in Arizona.
After digging deeper Erwin came across
wall, which he followed for twenty
feet. Further investigation brought to
light hundreds of bones well preserved,
one skeleton being intact When an at
tempt was made TO take up the skeleton
il fell to pieces. Among the treasures
unearthed was a slab on which were
written curious figures representing men
and birds and animals. Erwin took sew
eral of the relics into Tombstone, and
will send others to the Smithsonian In
stitution.
