WHEN FOOD HIDING IS WRONG.
Los Angeles Herald.

Los Angeles Herald.
Is civilization to be congratulated on
ihe alleged recovery of the lost art of
preserving food for an indefinite pc.
riod? Already considerable trouble has
been caused by cold storage and its
interference with the normal laws of
supply and demand. Any system of
food storage used for the purpose OF
creating an artificial scarcity. then
bringing forth the stored material and
selling II at an exorbitant price, is a
form of extortion or robbery. As long
Us the profits system is allowed to
incite or inspire market manipulation,
1t VIII be necessary to devise special
legislation for the purpose OF Outwit-
ing plotters who try 10 make ar
rangemenls and institute conditions by
which their profits will be increased
llnreas onably.
IL Is not fair to civilization that
stored food should be used In compe
tion with fresh food. OF course. 1t is
necessary to keep quantities OF pro
visions in bulk, and transport and dis.
tribute them in various quantities; but
that is very different operation from
seizing part Of the visible supply and
boarding 1t In order to sell 1t At a
big profit.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC UNION
DEPOT.

To the sound OF whistles and the
clang of bells the first Southern Pa
cifc train was ushered into Durango
last night at Red Men hall.
The house was well filed. there be-
ing about five hundred in the audi
ence, which was both a sympathetic
and appreciative one.
For an amateur performance 1t was
exceptionally well carried off There
were no bitches in the acting and it
went smoothly and withnu; tagging.
The play was an apt Illustration OF
the many pathetic and comical Incl
dents thai occur in union depot In
the course Of day.
As there We're about fifty who par
ticipated it would be impossible to
mention all and do each one Justice
but Miss Frances Bell deserves spe-
cial mention for the creditable man
ner in which she took part as Joe
Cannon, the newsboy
Mrs. Charles Snyder and the chorus
girls were enjoyable features of the
performance.
Mrs A Rex Mollette,' in her differ
ent roles made a decided hit with
he audience as did also Miss Netta
Molleite i'll the character of the Italian
singing girl.
Oliver Wingate and William Pear
son brought down the house with their
funny Irish stunt and with the jokes
thoy sprung on Durango people
There were several nice, gentle hints
al the 'bloated bondholders'' who
have refused to subscribe TO the new
railroad, and this, we think, WAS not a
boost in vain.
The costumes throughout were well
adapted to the different characters---
thanks TO the kindly assistance of
Gradens and Kruschke's.
Temple Cornelius as Uncle Joshua
Hayseed, and Mrs. Fred Egan, as his
wife, were very comical.
Harry Whittelsy, as Deacon Long

Media Steinberg as Mrs. Garrulou.
also carried off her part in a very
creditable manner.
Bessie Dickerson as Miss Fishwell
proved to The audience that she knew
how to bait her hook well
The country brides and bridegroons
succeeded so well in their part that
everyone about them felt almost as
unforiable as they pretended to.
Pearl Thompson as the learned
Miss Beaconstreet proved her ability

way. in the denunciation of matri.

The fluttering old maid aunts had
the audience almost as anxious as they
were over the untimely marriage of
Miss FIighty.
Miss Ada U. Berg and n. II. A
Walker are deserving of great credit
for the way in which the play went off
Mr.. Walker took the part of depot
master and Miss Berg, though taking
no active part, was sort OF general
superintendent, and the play was
staged under her supervision.
The play was given for the benefit
of the public library and besides
being quite a boost for the new rail
