UNCLE RUDE

The most pleasing and enjoyable
entert ainment given in many months
in this city was Uncle Rube" given
by students and members of the
Union College faculty last Monday
evening in the Union College Chapel
Many who attended were given a
genuine surprise at. the talent dis
played. unable to realize that such
realistic acting could be found in
this city and especially so since the
time taken in preparation was tar
short OF that usually taken for such
affairs. The stage setting was
eleverly arranged faithfully portra,
ing the scenes which were being re
produced and the makeup OF the
characters was complete.
1t is not easy to pick any one
Individual star from this cast as all
we're exceedingly clever in their
parts Reuben Rodney, as portray
ed bv Prof. II. w. Ricketts, was a
genuine farmer, big hearted and oc.
casiouly loving his nip" of hard
cider. He was undoubtedly the
star of the cast and his work could
hardly have been improved upon.
Prof. II. NJ. Old6eld, as Deacon
Smailey, the bewhiskered william
well represented the character he
wished to portray and certainly
looked the part.
Prof c. L. Brown, as Mark, tn.
Deacon's son, could not have been
placed to a better advantage. His
makeup was great and his imperso-
nation of the collaborating son
of his rascally father was all that
could have been desired. This part
was well taken care of.
Earl Stanill and T. J. Gilbert as
the artist aud New York swell, re-
spectively, were dressed appro-
priately and filed their roles clever.

the acting is overdone and thus the
effect is lost, but in this case Mr..

his part out splendidly.
( Walter Jarvis, as Bub Green was
real blubbering rube.,
Robert Faulkner, the constable
had little opportunity to show his
ability as an actor but did well
with the part assigned him.
The ladies in the cast--we are
almost afraid to comment on their
work Each was cleverly brought
out and if any one in particular
was the bright and shining star
we would not hazard an opinion as
to who was this particular one. 1t
was no effort for Miss Eva Swear
ingen to act the part of the pretty
school marn," and Gordon Gray
the young artist, could not have
beeu blamed for irving TO find thu

Miss Roberta Sandusky playeC
the part of the charming widow
splendidly and those present wer

to be abandoned, and the money in
vested become a total loss,
THAT the trust would be willing to
sacrifice their beet sugar interests

if the government would only allow
them ID assist the poor dear people OF
the country by placing them in a
position 30 reduce the selling price OF
sugar to the consumer, and 10 do this
the only requirement Is the removal
Of the tariff.
The real happening would be this.
A reduction of a fraction of a cent
per pound would undoubtedly be
made in the price of sugar. but the
increased profits OF the trust would
amoun to over sixty millions per
year. net, so there is considerable
method in this sort Of philanthropy
and, further, both the loss Of revenue
to the government, and also The addi-
tional profits to the trust. would have
to be paid and made up by the dear
public, the former by some other form
Of taxation and the latter in the
price paid for sugar.
Comparatively speaking. the steal

Of false Weighing, and for which the
trusts higher officials were unpun-

are now trying to'foist Upon the pub

WOULD REINSTATE ENGINEER.

A special to the Houston Post from
Washington, Feb. %. says:
In response to the request of the
Commercial club OF Brownsville. Rep
resentative Garner has looked into
the dismissal of c. G. Elliott. as ex-
pert engineer of the department Of
agriculture. Congressman Garner
expresses the opinion hat Engineer
Elliott was d very competent and eff
ficlent employee of the government
and is inclined to believe that his dis
missal came about through the eff
forts Of those who imposed upon Sec
rotary Wilson, but il is beyond the
powers of the Texas congressman to
have Elliott restored to office, as that
Il an appointive one in the discretion
Uf the secretary himself.
Mr.. Garner believes all the facts
will be developed by the INVESTIGATION
which the house committee is now
conducting. He declares that beyond
question Solicitor McCabe Is the real
head of the agricultural department
and declares he is not the kind Of a
man who should occupy such a posi-
tion. He believes Secretary Wilson
has reached that age which renders
him incapable of properly handling
so great a department as that Of
which he is no wthe tituIar head.

postponement. 1t will be the digni-

HOW THE SUGAR TRUST FEELS
ABOUT THE TARIFF.

The following are some Of the
sworn answers made before the Hard
wick Special Committee on the Inves-
tigation Of the American Sugar Re
filming Company.
Claus A. Spreckels. president Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company, on the
stand.
@. In other words, perhaps. you
would take it (the tariff all off,
would you not. and have free trade?
A | would have free trade.
@. You would have free trade in
sugar?
A.. Absolutely.
Charles r Heike. secretary Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company. from
1887 to 1910.
@. Now, if the duty were removed
absolutely on sugar, could we produce
either cane or beets in this country?
A. doubt it very much.
@. Then. that would destroy the
industry absolutely in this country?
A. Yes.
@ And you would approve Of that?
A. Yes.
William G. Gilmore. partner Ar
buckle Brothers. sugar %refiners.
@. In other words, you think the
thing to do is to take off the duty,
and that i'll would be to your advan-
tage to take It off as a r%efiner of cane
sugar?
A. Yes, sir.
@ And you would advocate the TAX
ing of of the duty?
A. would personally. am only
speaking now personally.
William A. ]. Jamison. partner OF
Arbuckle Brothers, sugar ~refiners.
@. How would it affect you il
there was not a tax on the importa-
ton of sugar, raw sugar?
A. | think it would enable us to
run more constantly.
Q. What do you mean by that
now?
A. | mean we would be able to sell
more sugar.
Q. DO Q not have a supply all
the time?
A. Well. W. are not able to run
full at all times.
@. Because Of The ,av raw sugar Is
shipped into the United states?
A. Oh. no; on ar unit 0: the beet
product. If there was no 1uty, | do
not think the beet would be 50 pros,
porous, and we would probably sell
more sugar.
Edwin F. Atkins. vice-president
and acting president. American Sugar
Refining Company.
@. SO that a reduction Of the tar
it passing beyond a moderate amount
would tend to the prosperity of the
refiners and to the detriment of The
beet-sugar people?
a. Take the independent refiners
outside Of our concern at all. that
represent more than half the supply
II the United States. They say. and
think they "a truly. that ii is for
the retiners interest to have a low
rate Of duty rather than a high rate
Of duty.

According to t0day's Associated

Ways and Means have agreed on sug-

 THE VALLEYS FAME
Captain Scott is Letting the World
 Know of This Region.

That Captain Scott in the office of Snively and Peirce is proving to be a valuable booster for the Salt River valley is evidenced by the results that he is getting in the way of letters, boosting the Salt River val ley that he is getting published in eastern journals. In the daily Drovers Journal of Omaha Nebraska he se- cured a half column story for the valley in which a very able descrip- tion is given.
 MT Snively was one of the fore most residents of Wyoming. He has made the suggestion that the busi- ness men of Phoenix follow a line of promotion that was successfully done in his home town of Sheridan. Twelve able business men met and agreed to start a propaganda of let ter writing to home" papers. Let ters descriptive of Sheridan were sent by hundreds of men to the newspapers of the town of their former residence. Captain Snivley says that the results were wonder flu! and that it proved the best meth cd ever used by that live town by getting it's advertising abroad. The captain suggests that Phoenix take up this line of operation.
