so much talked of where we would i see portrayed the great Passion Play | by the humble peasants of Oberam- | mergau.
 Situated in the very heart of the picturesque highlands of upper Ba- varia, it is easily reached by rail from Munich. The way of approach is through the richest scenery; rivers, lakes, mountains, meadows and wood ed hills blend in one continuous pano- rama of beauty.
 Arriving at the station one Satur- day afternoon in July, we were greet ed by a perfect Babel of tongues. We found the village literally flooded with people. Why are these thou sands-2S0, ,000 we are told, 80 per cent of whom are Americans-flocking to this obscure mountain village? It has no grand cathedrals, no fla nous art galleries, no museums or palatial hotels; only a few wood carvers and potters who live in their quaint cottages, the thatch on the roofs held down with so many large stones one tren.bles at the thought of what an avalanche would roll down
 
 valley of the Ammer, under the cross crowned Kofel, the highest of the mountains, lies this little village of 1,400 inhabitants, meek and lowly of heart, untouched by worldly ambi- ton, with one controlling motive the fulfilling of, an ancient VOW unto the Lord. The chief players have refused large sums of money to take the play into theaters in large cities, saying, Willingly would we do so, but we must first take with us the whole village and the guardian spirit the Wofel" It is to be hoped that the peasants will adhere to this con- dition, for what seems perfectly prop CT with the present environment would seem improper anywhere else. Its origin and aim could never be the same in another place. and its charm and message would be destroyed"
 Passing into the town, one is first attracted by the river. clear as crys- tai, sweeping through the village di- rect from the mountains. Its banks are lined with houses. barns and gar dens. The home of Anton Langsl sister, at which I and several others1 of the party were to lodge, was situ-l ated on this stream and the moon- light on the water by night and the crowds of people who passed over the bridge that crosses it by day will never be forgotten.

The following paper, written by Mrs. George M. Hahn of this city, was read at the last meeting of the Wom- ans club of Phoenix and is published at the unanimous request of the club. It is descriptive of the Passion Play and the little village of Oberammer- gau, where it is presented, together with it's environment Mrs Hahn visited Oberammergau during tour of Europe the past summer and the article tells of the things she saw with vividness that can be inspired only by personal impressions:

RoWETT is HEARD FROM.
Is Perfectly Willing to Take Part in
the Martin Benefit

John Rowett of Ironwood, the noted
Cornish wrestler has written friends
here that he is willing to take part in
the Martin benefit tournament. 1t is
hoped that he can be matched in an
exhibition bout with Bert Williams of
Ahmeek. If so, this alone would prove
well worth the price of admission.
In his communication. Rowett says:
1T strikes me Martin was the pride of
the copper country, and to the Cornish
wrestling fraternity. He was every
inch a wrestler and a true sportsman
If there is anything that ] can do to
help out the widow and family please
put me down as willing"
This is welcome news to local lovers
of the Cornish game, and the state
ment that Rowett will come to Calu-
met to take part in the tournament
will be of more than passing interest,
considering the fact that he is ac-
knowledged to be the peer of them all

BAND MANAGER SILENT.

Accent D'Urbano CHALLENGE.

Manager Fred Cowley of the c. & II.
band refused TO be quoted when asked
last evening concerning what action
the members would take upon the
challenge given yesterday by the D'Ur-
bano band. From the way Mr.. Cowley
spoke, it does not appear likely that
the local musical organization will ac-
cept the challenge, choosing rather to
ignore ii.
The announcement Of the challenge
as given in last nights News attract
cd considerable attention and a large
number of local people would like TO
see the contest arranged. There seems
little chance that it will ever take
place, however.

only thirty-two membership Of over
one hundred thousand. No one church
speaks for more than one-third of the
total membership of all churches, while
all church bodies combined claim only
three-eighths of our population. The
only unifying force among all churches
Is a religious motive that all churches,

more pig iron than ever before in
calendar year. and a great deal more
steel, yet it put very little of the pig
iron or steel into railroad material
The present demand for steel is largely
from the agricultural sections, the
region which Wall street complained
about a few years ago because it had
the audacity to keep it's money at home
for domestic improvements instead of
sending it to New York.
I'm the closing months of 1909, the
production of pig iron and steel was
far ahead of the best rate attained at
any time in the previous period of
high activity. yet the production of
rails and of fabricated steel was ma
terially below the previous rate. Ac-
tivity along such lines depends very
largely upon financial conditions.
While the total production was beyond
any previous record, the production of
the particular lines, wire, pipe. sheets.
tin plates and merchant bars. was very
far below all previous records. These
are the lines the consumption of which
is least dependent upon financial con-
ditions.''

Changing Ugly Cities.

In America we have been so careful
of the individual that the community
has been allowed to suffer, and the con-
sentative and jealous care of private
interests has been carried to such a
point that the most necessary improve

However, we do not despair for our
future. The love of beauty is grow

thought to be the prerogative of the
