Largo Crowd Sees NIaude FeaIy.

Large crowds attended the Males
tic theater last evening to see the
photo-play "Frou Frou," with Maude
Fealy in the leading role and every
one was delighted with the popular
Colorado actress in her delineation
of the frivolous little heroine of the
story, who throws away the real
things OF life. without realization of
their value until too late. The pro-
duction was mngnificently staged
and the interior views were of rare
beauty in their setting. The fam
GUS picture plays every week are be-
coming more and more popular with
the public and Manager Wilson
feels we'll repaid for his effort in
bringing the best OF them to Grand
Junction.

bLOOD-FLOWS IN
SCHOOL CLASH

Under the guise of class scrap
Saturday evening several young row.
dies attempted to break up the annual
junior-senior class party. Early in
the evening a crowd of upper class
men started to come to Margery hall
from the northeast part of the city.
A bunch of between twenty and TWEEN
ty-five under classmen followed them
and at the corner of Seventh and
Main, made a rush to capture some OF
the juniors and seniors. The upper
classmen took it good naturedly until
they perceived that some of their OPP
ponents were not bona-fide high
school students.
Then the fun started. After sue
cessfully repulsing their foes, they
got as far as the front of the Margery
building where hostilities were re-
newed They were repulsed again
and nothing further happened until
the skylights in Marygery hall were
opened and hydrogen bisuphide was
dropped to the floor, spelling several
of the girls dresses.
At Sawyer's two rowdies rushed in
and spilled more of the chemical.
This was quickly wiped up before it
had had time to give off any odor.

taken to the nKight home on the
First Fruit Ridge where he was re-
leased. He returned in time to en-
JOY most of the fun.

Second Open Letter to the
People of West Virginia

When we put forth our first Open Letter we had
no idea that such great numbers would accept our
invitation to write and tell us what they thought
about the oil and gas business. The ink was scarcely
dry before hundreds of letters and postal cards
commenced pouring in and they still coming TO
anayze and classify these letters that this
could be prepared with care, a welcome task.
Above all else these letters proved that the
people of West Virginia have in high degree that
American characteristic, sturdy love of fair play,
however willing they may be to argue question.
About fifty per cent of those who wrote wanted
TO the oil and gas companies keep on developing
the resources Of the state in fair and just
ton by the state.
About thirty per cent disagreed with
other of the points in the Open Letter. but were fair
minded enough to acknowledge the benefits that have
accrued to the state from the production Of oil and
gas.
About fifteen per cent disagreed fatty with our
views or said they lacked information, declared
they were not interested because they outside
the gas belt.
The remaining five per cent offered oil and gas
territory, or supplies, asked for work, wanted to
know what the Open Letter meant, had complaint
on their service, asserted that gas rates high
enough or too high, without other comment. A scant
haf-scOre were abusive.
All communications replied to except few
which were unsigned, signatures blOtted post

not been answered, it must be for one of these
Many asked questions, the principal ones being
the following, which we herewith answer.

Answers to Principal Questions
Asked in The Letters

Q-You have shown us-the people of West
Vrglnla-that hundreds of millions of dollars have
been distributed among by the oil and gas people
in the quarter century past, for labor, royalties,
rentals, timber, teaming, machinery, materials,
boarding and various other items that taxes paid
by oil and gas interests now amount to enough to
wipe off the Virginia debt in years. that great
industrial development towns and cities and
many other advantages which have as state
have followed the discovery and production of oil
and gas Now give us the figures on the other side
of the ledger:-WHAT HAVE YOU MADE OUT
OF THE BUSINESS?
A-Since the organization of our company our
stockholders have received little less than 4 per
cent annual dividends interest on the money which
they have invested This is less than the legal rate
OF interest and they could earn more if the money
were invested III mortgages. They have Of their
capital paid back and have sinking fund out of
which to pay 1T back 1t is Intention as soon as
the revenues will Justify it, to establish a sinking
fund to reimburse our stockholders for the money
advanced, which you will admit is more than fair
to them
Q-DOES THE GAS BUSINESS YIELD
MARGIN OF PROFIT LARGER THAN OTHER
BUSINESSES HAVING THE SAME INVEST
MENT AND RISKS?
At does not. I'm fact it does not ret,,,., 90
large profits as other businesses, where there are
practically no large hazards risks attached. No
other business has the same amount of 1ncortain+,
as the gas business, with such comparatively small
profit
o-wHY DO YOU NEED TO RAISE THE
RATES? LIE
A-Because the company is entitled to interest
on the money invested to get back the capital
invested WITHIN a reasonable time, and to some com
pensation for taking the risk Of the business Anv
man or company going into any business that is NOT
permanent, expects to earn enough to pay back his
investment with interest on the while invested
ana an amount III addition sufficient to pay for
the chances Of the business otherwise he would 3d
his money ON security or mortgage or buy Govern
ment or other bonds
