THROW OUT NEW LINES

During the many months past while sentiment was being made concerning the available terminal ports for trunk line railroads the Cordova Chamber of Commerce dormant state Now that the matter of has thoroughly gone into and the president has pretty we'll defined ideas the subect of the members of organization think that Washington officials may be influenced by importing Seatteite to exploit advantages As matter of fact everything possible that might influence the President in the selection o Cordova terminal port has been presented m by the head officials of the Copper River Northwestern Hallway And those facts also largely contained in the report of the Alaska Railroad Commission which the President has thoroughly dgesed And is possible that negotiations that have been going for weeks past between the Presidents representatives and the railroad officials have been closed and Cordova selected as terminal port either tor branch line to the coal fields for trunk line to the Tanana bot The Chamber has mc effective work that 1t may accomplish and doubt will soon be bending its energies in the effort to an additional pay roll in Cordova and tributary country We need enterprises that will employ men, create homes, and bring in more foreign money

THE COLORADO HORROR

Were it not for the engrossment ill the international conflict Vera Cruz the nation would be mortified by the deadly results of the industrial warfare in Colorado in which and children have been the chief victims. Of the merits of the dispute lack definite information but that it should have been permitted to reach the stage of anarchy reported in the dispatches from Trinidad is disgrace to the state of Colorado. The ruthless methods employed both by the state forces and the strikers resulting the firing of the tent colony and the trapping of and children in the pits beneath the burning tents shames civilization
 The attitude of the state forces labor disputes in Colorado has repeatedly been called in question: Instead of preserving order and enforcing law it has been charged that the officers have aligned themselves with the corporations and made common the union workers This if true, would explain though not the violent attitude of the strikers and the open warfare often reported in the state Lawles begets awesness and the perveson of the of the state breeds anarchy.
 The industrial record of Colorado has been bloody one The corruption of state politics there has been byword The two taken together explain each other Now the federal forces trying to handle the situation.

AT THE EMPIRE.

Tomorrow the Empire theatre will
install a new policy which means that
Rock Island is TO receive, providing
the patronage indicates sufficient in
terest. the highest type of vaudeville
shows. the bills coming intact from
the Orpheum theatre in Peoria There
will be no price increase. as Manager
Dolly feels that he has a large enough
theatre to hold receipts which will
make his new plan practical and pay
ing.
IT'S this way" said Manager Dolly
today. 81 have the largest house in
the two cities and it can hold the mon
ey. All we need to put Rock Island
on the big vaudeville map is some
patronage at the same prices, and
have enough confidence in the amuse-
ment seeking public of this city to
take the chance and put in the very
highest kind of vaudeville The bill
starting Thursday is only feeler, and
if the attendance merits it We will put
in shows that will rival anything in
the country"
AS proof of his intentions, the man.
ager showed contracts which call for
what is a great bill. For instance. the
Nat Nazzaro troupe, which has played
the Orpheum circuit for years, Will be
here. This troupe is regarded as abb
solutely the best in the country. Then
there will be Burke and Mcdonald,
the Two Cronies,' who are conceded
among the cleverest Irish comedians
on the stage today. Venita Gould in
Twelve Minutes With the Stars"
gives a series Of songs and limitations
that represent the best there is in
this type of entertainment. Randers
and Mills are eccentric dancing pian-
lists with a world OF comedy and some
highly original stunts. The Musical
Geralds in "A Night in the Alamo"
will open the show. To show the
high class of this bill, the opening act
is one that has been closing most of
the shows in which it has appeared.
Taken altogether. the new policy
should take in Rock Island. The pub
lie has been asking for the highest
and best type of vaudeville and now
there is a chance to see it.

RAYMOND Hitchcock, everybody's

personality, will come to the Illinois

new vehicle upon which TO disport his
engaging presence this season. II is
called The Beauty Shop musical
comedy from a triumvirate of pens
welded by Charming Pollock, Rennold
Wolf and Charles ]. Gebest, who will
he recalled as the authors of Mr..
Hitchcock's other great musical sue
cess, THE Red Widow" Mr.. Hitch
cock has been presenting The Beau
~ Shop in New York during the
spring and summer months. and re-
ports from that city as to the plays
merits are most favorable. The play
ran for nearly half a year at the Astor
theatre to the largest patronage ever
accorded this Broadway favorite.
II goes without saying that Messrs.
Coban and Harris, Hitchcock's man
agers have surrounded him with
fine company. which includes an at
tractive chorus of singing and dancing
artists. Every member of the Broad
way company will be with The Beau
~ Shop" when that delightful novelty
il presented here. The associate play
ers who will support Mr.. Hitchcock
comprise the same distinguished cast
that played the long engagement at
the Aston theatre, New York. Prom

AT THE ILLINOIS.

A musical piece, which seems to be
something more than merely a must
cal piece, will come TO the Illinois
Saturday. "Forty-five Minutes From
Broadway is the title and "Corinne"
and Bernard Riggs featured perform
ers. The author of the work is George
NJ. Conan, the well known actor-au-
thor-composer who has written a doz-
en- or more plays in the past 10 years,
and who knows nothing more about
failure than a Hottentot knows about
the code Justinian. He began with
The Governors Son." a vaudeville
sketch which was afterwards elabor-
ated into gull-fiedged farce. Since
that time he has done various other
things down to Seven Keys to Bald
pate" Bernard Riggs, who is chief
assistant to "Corinne," is an extra
ordinarily funny young man. He will
have the part of an eX-priZe fighter
with a good heart and an active brain
and a wonderful flow of expressive
slang. "Corinne" will appear as Mary
Jane Jenkins, a servant. She will
sing two of the most popular songs OF
her career, Mary Is Grand Old
Name and so Long, Mary" There
is a real plot in the production with
sensational and even pathetic passages
10 relieve the monotony of the musical
moments "Corinne," who plays the
role of Mary. the maid, fits into her
part so well that it would seem that
the young playwright must have had
her in mind when constructing this,
his most successful contribution to
the amusement catering stage. Her
humor is so infectious and gets over
the footligh;s so quickly that the most
morose and woe-begone-faced pessim-
ist has to relax his serious counter
ance and with a smile add his mite
of appreciation to her fun-making a5il-
tiles. With a man who has chron-
icaIly cheerful viewpoint. her task is
reduced TO play rather than work be-
cause her part is one that sparkles
and scintillates from start TO finish,
as do the lines of those by whom she
is surrounded. To make the world
happier and merrier seems to have
been the one thing sought for by the
author of "Forty-five Minutes From
Broadway"

LOCAL CLASS WILL
Be ONLY TRAINING
BODY IN COLORADO

The Sunday school workers of the
city are looking forward with much
interest to the school of methods to
be conducted next week in the Y. NJ.
c. A. building by the specialists sent
here by the American Christian Mis-
sionary society. Several of the other
western slope towns will be repre-
sonted also. For nearly a year, at
tempts have been made to inaugurate
union training class for the teach
ers of the city. State Sunday School
Superintendent John C. Carman of
Denver has made repeated trips to
the city trying to arrange for a
schedule of classes in connection
with other western Colorado towns.
When the opportunity came for
Denver to have a week s work by the
team of specialists sent out from Gin
cinnati to visit each of the western
states, the church workers of the
capital city felt that they were suf-
ficiently provided for, and the next
choice fell upon Grand junction. The
local committee have been modestly
referring to the work to be given
here as THE Western Slope Methods
but programs received today from
Cincinnati call it 1.-THE Colorado
School of Methods" and it is the only
such school to be held in the state
this year.

Denver, Jan. 10.-Governor AM

strike situation in Routt county, par
ticularly at Oak Greek where the
greatest amount of troubles have
occurred since the strike began. He

strike disturbances in the future in
Routt county, has agreed to keep
hands off the situation so long as
the militia are kept in the field.
Governor Ammons said today that
one of the first things to be done in
Routt county district is the disarm-
ing of all strikers and mine guards
or anyone else caught carrying
deadly weapons. There will be no
partiaiity shown and everyone found
with guns will be dlsarmed immedi-
ately.

Grand Junction, Colo.
have been asked to give my
thought, through your Sentinel, of
views on the problem OF work in
southern California. That is quite a
problem to answer. Well in the first
place there is some labor going on, as
putting down pavement, enlarging
streets, pulling down telephone and
telegraph poles and then putting
them up again somewhere else.
There are a large number in the auto
business but for young men of the
trade, mechanics and laborers, do not
come to southern California. There
are thousands of unemployed of both
sexes tramping the streets and hold
ing down beats In the different beau
tiful parks of this city Long Beach,

tramp, tramp, they go by the thou
sands every day. Tell the unemploy-
ed not to leave dear old Colorado.

The offer OF the council was ac-

over changes and reductions in

The Greeley council proposed an

regulate its rates by ordinance MIR.
Hamlin declared that his company
denied the privilege of the city to
fix telephone rates, and that If the
case was decided adversely by the
Colorado supreme court before whom
II is now pending. litigation would
result which would bankrupt the
city.
Greeley's councilmen then made
