THE HIGH school
RHETORICAL CONTEST

Friday evening of last week, the
nual rhetorical contest between the
Gamma Pi and Gamma XII societies
of the High school. This was the
first speaking contest of the kind
held by the High school students i'm
number of years, and great deal
of interest was manifested by the
friends and supporters of both sides.
The principal feature of the pro-
gram was the debate: (which Coun-
try has the more Democratic govern
ment; the United States or Great
Britain" Miss Minnie Welch and
Frank Barbee, of the Gamma XII ar
gmed for the United States, and Jas
Judy and Miss Ella LeProwse, of the
Gamma Pi argued for Great Britain
The judges awarded the decision to
the Gamma XII, and their Judgment
was sustained by the general approv-
al of the audience. Miss Welch spoke
freely and with ease, showing not a
ment. She was ably assisted by her
colleague, Mr.. Barbee, who has a
good, clear delivery and voice well
adapted to platform speaking. Miss
LeProwse defended her position most
ably, but her assistant displayed fire.
quent lapses of memory, but then, he
is not to be criticised as he was op-
posing the scholars ranking two and
three grades ahead of him.
THE Chariot Race, recited by
Miss, Louise Matthias, was the finish
ed effort of a young lady who is des-
tined to become an elocutionist of
note. Miss Matthias has a splendid
voice for speaking. 1t is strong, but
sufficiently feminine to give it very
pleasing tone. The young lady is
good looking and makes an attrac-
tive appearance on the stage. Miss
Rose Miller, reciting 1.-The Voiceless
Chimes, displayed exceptional elo-
cutionary ability.
The singing by the High School
Glee club was as sweet as the sing
ers are good looking. The harmony
was perfect and the choruses were
a real treat 1t does seem that the
Central City High school possesses
exceptional talent of wide variety,
that can inspire as we'll as entertain
and instruct
The Gamma Pi were awarded the
decision of the judges in the "Orig-
inal Stories," and the Gamma XII won
in the recitations.

MINE ASSESSMENT LAW

Opponents of the new mining aus
sessment law, adopted by the Nine
teenth General Assembly, have be-
gun a campaign to secure its veto
by the governor, and failing in this
to refer II to the voters at the next
general election.
The new law provides fer the as
sessment of producing mines accord
ing to acreage and improvements and
on basis of 90 cents gross and 100
per cent net output and of non-pro-
ducing mines, ON the basis of acreage
and ignprorements.
Accr ding To C. P. Link, chairman
of the state commission. the new law
If it becomes effective, will increase
assessable mining property by sl5,.

$4,000, 900 FOR PRINTING

Uncle Sam is the greatest user of
printers ink in the world. His an
nual printing bill amounts to some
eight million dollars year. Much
more than three-fourths of this is
expended in Washington. while the
balance represents printing done for
the courts and other branches CT the
national establishment outside of the
capital city.
No one ever has undertaken to es-
Innate what it costs to prepare the
manuscripts from which Uncle Sans
printers set their type. This would
prove q difficult task, since these
manuscripts are almost wholly the
by+product of the task of eNpending
nearly a billion dollars n year; but II
one were to consider only such activi.
ties as are made primarily for the
purpose of publishing information. Vt
is probable that the government pays
$15, 100000 for it's manuscripts.

EDITOR OR PREACHER

The preacher has a hard time. If
his hair is gray he is old. If he is a
young man, he hasn't had experience.
If he has ten children, he has too
many. If he has none, he should
have, and is not setting a good exam
pie. If his wife sings in the choir.
she is presuming If she doesn't, she
isn't interested in her husband s
work. If a preacher reads from notes
he is a bore. If he speaks extempo-
raneously he is not deep enough. If
he stays at home in his study, he
doesn't mix enough with the people.
If he is seen around the streets, he
ought to be at home getting up a
good sermon. If he calls on some
very poor family he DIS playing to the
grand stand. If he calls at the home
of the rich, he is am aritStocrat. What
ever he does, someone could have
told him how to do better. He has a
fine time living off of donations that
never come in, and promises that
never mature. Next to being all edi-
tor it is an awful lfe.-Ex.

The first of series of monthly
dances to be given by Koenigsberg's
orchestra in the Armory Hail Friday
evening of last week was attended
by large crowd, despite the inclem-
ent weather; also a school entertain
ment at the opera house and a dance
in Russell Gulch. The dance was a
decided success socially and lasted
until after three o'clock Saturday
morning. The music was excellent
and every number was encored sew
eral times. The very latest of popu-
lar music was introduced and the
orchestra made lasting hit with
the dancers. Another dance will be
given some time next north, the or
chestra being greatly encouraged by
the success of their initial function.
Aside from the leader, Prof. Koe-
nigsberg, the musicians are all local
people, and what money they receive
for their services through these dam
ces is kept at home. No doubt, this
is the reason their opening dance
was financial as we'll as a social
success.

by Tony Boggio, was burglarized on
Sunday night, the thieves entering
at the back door after cutting a hole
in the panel of the door to release
the bolt. After springing the lock
they entered and rifled the cash
drawer obtaining some small change
to the amount of s2.25. In addition,
they selected. some free gold speci-
mems. about five boxes of fine cigars
and five one-half pint bottles Of
