There IL SO much that Is good In

And so Ralph Dunbar. the greatest
talent organizing genius In the world
was given the task of organizing this
great company.
II was n big dream that came true.
Manager Horner and Ralph Dunbar
have brought together stars from
dozen Of the greatest musical compa-
MES both In America and Europe
The result has more than exceeded
tne expectancy even OF ih"Se VINO
drea med of great results
The Killarney Ladies' orchestra plays
and sings music from the simple Irish
ballads TO the great Irish classics.
They are gorgeously costumed In
rich green costumes. and the stnge

HAS MANY BILLS WHICH HE IS
IN HOPES OF ACTION UP
ON THIS SESSION.

The people of this district who
voted for and sent Hon. George
Stephan to the state senate last
fall, fully realize at this early date
that they did not vote for one of
the class of politicians who sit down
and draw their salary.
Senator Stephan has already in
troduced several bills, which, if he
can get through, will be of vast
benefit to this district. The last of
these is as follows:
A bill for an act to provide for
public road commencing at the
city of Delta in Delta County and ex-
tending to the town of Hotchkiss
in said Delta County from thence
to the town of Crawford in said
Delta County from thence over
Black Mesa to the town of Sapi-

The Recall Constitutional amend
ment as introduced by Representa-
tive Skinner and Senator Tobin pro-
vldes for petition signed by
twenty-five per cent of the voters.
1t applies to al elective officers. 1t
can not be used until after a per-
son has been in office six months
except against a legislator. 1t can
be used against him five days after
he begins his work. Should second
recall be started against an official
those starting it must pay the ex-
penses of the first.
Ben Griffith, the Attorney General
has been asked to give an opinion
on whether or not the new amend
ment changing the term of service
and salary of Legislative members
applies to hold-over senators.
Senator Guggenheim introduced a
bill in Congress last week, the OBJ
ject of which is to wipe out the
annual postal deficit. 1t provides
for the use of frank stamps by
government officials. Reports say
the postal authorities believe the
bill, should it become a law, will
accomplish that for which it is
intended.

dUced by Senator Stephan. calling

to say the bill will have the full and
hearty support of both Senator
Stephan and Mr.. Newton as we'll
as most of the Western Slope dele
CATION in the legislature as the need
of this bridge is becoming under
stood and the fact that it is one
that will cost a considerable sum
is appreciated.

and the chairman of the board of
county commissioners are made the
board of construction and location.

We would like to see a curb put
on the express companies as well as
anybody, for we realize that the peo-
pie of this section are getting
"stung" by them about as hard as
We want to be, but we do not like
to put our local merchants out of
business to do so. Parcels Post
would be the richest kind of pie for
the big mail order houses of the
country and they know 1t. They
and their friends are working and
spending more money to help it
through than the express companies
are to stop 1t. The mail order houses
of the East have gotten rich under
the present regulations where peo-
pie have had to pay high express
rates for their shipments. and have,
to quito an extent, hurt the Western
merchants. 1t is hard to imagine
what It would be under such a rul-
ing. Business for our local mer-
chants makes business for the news
paper and 1t is not just to impose
such competition upon them.
