DAILY ROAD REPORTS
Will Be Furnished Auto Travellers in
Colorado at Every Telephone
Station in the State

Denver, June 22-Authentic daily
reports on conditions of all auto
mobile roads in the State of Colo
RADIO are to be made for the bene-
fit of autoists, by The Mountain
States Telephone Company, thru
the employment of systematic
and unique block system now
being established. By applying
to any Of the several hundred
stations throughout the state, it
will be an easy matter for auto
travellers to know, to reasonable
certainty, just what kind of
roads they are liable to run into.
The first steps in this direction
were made in Denver this week,
when representatives from num-
ber of the towns and cities of the
state were brought together at the
call of the Good Roads Associa-
ton, assisted by the State High
way Commission, the State Asso-
citation of County Commissioners
and the engineers of the telep houe
company.
w. f. Brown, division general
manager of the telephone company
outlined a system of disseminating
general and authentic information
regarding the condition of roads,
proposed to be inaugurated by the
telephone company.
My company has completed arrange
ments for ascertairing and disseminating
reports of road conditions throughout the
state. said Mr.. Brown. pretty much the
same as the government gives out fore
casts OF weather. except that ours is an
established fact and not a prognostica-
ton. Between the hours OF FIVE and six
o'clock each evening our exchange opera

phone into the main office in Denver a

SUGAR MEN MEET
Problem of Growing Beet Seed the
Most Important to Come Before
the Convention

The regular quarterly couven-
vention of the United States Beet
Sugar association is being held in
Denver this week with delegates
representing sugar refiners in war;
ious parts Of the country in at
tendance.
The problem of finding suffi-
cient sugar beet seed to supply the
United States is the most impor-
tant subject for discussion. Man
ayers and executive officers of
nearly all large beet sugar con-
Germs of the United States are
assembled to work out the solut-
ion of the problem that has been
forced upon them because of the
war in Europe.
According to Truman G. Pal
mer of Chicago, secretary of the
association, this country is not
suited to the growing of sugar beet
seed and the only present hope of
a supply is Russia, from which
place it is hoped that shipment
can be made, altho no arrange
ments have as yet been made to
get it from there.
Mr. Palmer stated that many en-
periments have been made in diff
ferent parts of this country to pro-
duce the seed, but all have proved
total failures. Germany, up to the
time the war broke out, was one
Of the largest producers and ex-
porters of the seed, but since all
exports from Germany have been
cut off, the supply of beet seed is
curtailed.
In a report of investigations re-
Gently made in Cuba relative to
the sugar industry of that island
Secretary Palmer stated that Cuba

report of any abnormal condition of roads
radiatng from their respective exchange.
II the roads are normal no report will be
required.
These reports, which will come from
each Of the sixty-three counties in the
state of Colorado. will be tabulated and
in turn will be transmitted to all motor
clubs, garages and other points where
general information is usually to be had.
Probably cards will be printed, eventually.
and posted the same as weather reports
are issued today.
Probably the most valuable feature of
these reports will be the issuance of a
good roads map which is now in the
hands of the printers. These maps will
show the complete state highway sys-
tenn, as indicated on map prepared by
the engineer OF the State Highway Com
mission. The telephone company's map
will show, by separate coors. whether
the roads in any particular SECTION are
macadamzed. rock balasted. graveled.
improved or unimproved. These maps
will also be divided into blocks. arranged
with respect to the facilities OF the tele-
phone company in different sections of
the state.
Reports will include information as to
rams. slightly muddy. heavy mud, bridges
or culverts out. roads freshly graveled,
deep sand. road gangs at work, etc.
The various good roads associations OF
the state have taken the matter up favor
ably and the county commissioners of
each county will act in conjunction with
the telephone company in obtaining the
information desired. 1t means broad
campaign for better roads.

ard Hanson, a brilliant young west
ern pianist, cellist, and composer.
Glenn Frank. Here is lecturer
entirely different from the others on
the program. Governor Glenn is a
man of the old school, Gore is the
great statesman orator, Frank is a
| frey, dashing young student of So
ciety.
Opie Read: Truly this is an Amer
lean program, and no greater cxem-
plar of American life, philosophy
humor, and democracy could be
found than Opie Read, the best
known, the best loved writer OF fic-
tion OF America.
Tuesday Afternoon-Thaviu's Inter-
national Band. Evening-Thaviu's In
ternational Band, Italian Grand Opera
Singers.
Heading the list, of course. is Tha-
viu's band, for which almost as much
money is being paid as is usually
paid for an entire week OF music
This will be perhaps the most talked
OF band in America this year, and
there is no better band in the world.
The European Grand Opera Sing
crs are distinctly different from 9TH
er features of the program, and alone
are well worth the time and expense
OF attending the program.
Wednesday Afternoon-A me r ic a n
Girls Co., Childrens Playlet. Evening
American Girls Co., Senator T. p.
Gore.
One other company of decided
heart-intercst. but entirely different,
is the American Girls. II is well nam
ed the program is built around 4
beautiful idea and depicts the opic of
the American Girl, and she is intro
duced in appropriate costumes OF the
original Indian girl. the Puritan girl,
the Colonial girl, the first d. A. r.,
the girl of our grandmother's time,
and the modern girl.
One of the brilliant lecturers on
the program will be Senator Gore.
one of the best known men in Amer
lea. The first reason for his
great success is his natural oratory,
his lecture is vcritable oratorical
treat. 1t is sparkling with epigrams.
ripping with humor, and it is stupen-
dous with lofty utterances, beautiful
in sentiment. and tceming with phil
osophy. He is one of the great ora
tors of the day.
Thursday Afternoon - Chautauqua
Entertainers, C. C. Pearce. Evening
-Chautauqua Entertainers, jess Pugh.
There are two companies. the chief
purpose of which is to make people
laugh. These are the Rincr Sisters,
and the Bonnie Brookc-Fay Ingram
combination, known as the Chautau-
qua Entertainers. Their work is en-
tirely different. although there is a
laugh in almost every line of the pro-
gram of each.
Jess Pugh is going to be saved un-
til the last night. That is fortunate
because people will laugh SO much
they will scarcely be able to attend
another entertainment. Pugh is a
humorist, but humorist OF the new
school and he is a splendid imperson-
ator and singer, as we'll
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1915-06-25

This Afternoon-Killarn Ladies and
Rita Rich. Evening Ladies
and Rita Rich, Adrian NJ. Newens.
Probably the company that will
stand out biggest and strongest, next
to the band, will be the Killarney
Girls with Rita Rich. Here is n
company beautifully costumed, made
up of splendid type of lady enter
tainers and musicians, any one OF
whom is capable of furnishing the
evening OF entertainment herself
In many of the towns of the circuit
Mr.. Newens has appeared twice or
three times, or more. All such places
will be happy to know of Mr.. New
ems returning, particularly since he
comes with splendid new master
piece, an entertainment which will be
given for the first time this year. en-

story of thrilling heart interest, car
rying with it a great deal of humor
as well.
Saturday Afternoon-Sc Schultz Rob-
bins Concert Co., Ned Woodman, car

Concert Co., Hon. r. B. Glenn.
Another attraction of decided mer-
it is the Schulz Robbins Company
headed by Professor Forrest Schulz.

Horner Institute OF Fine Arts; Floyd
Robbins, head teacher in the piano
department of the same institution,
and featuring Miss Enid Tillotson OF
New York, one of the coming young
singers of the country.
Another great orator is Governor
Robert b. Glenn, OF North Carolina.
at present member of the United
States Boundary Commission. Here
is type of the old school orator
of the Henry Clay, Wendell Phillips,
Robert Ingcrsoll type. Glenn is the
great inspirational lecturer of the
season.
Sunday Afternoon-RinerS Sisters and
Miss Hummell. DR.. Hagerman. Even
ing-Riner Sisters and Miss Hummell,
Sidney Landon, impersonator.
DR.. Hagerman. with the sweetness
of life's philosophy, his kindly humor
his unassuming, but at the same time
powerful, eloquence. his leadership
among ordinary human beings, and
for his inspiration for boys no better
man could be found than DR.. Hager
man.
Landon is better than ever before,
as he has brand new program, in
Producing great literary characters.
There is something almost uncanny
in Landon's art, that is truly remark
able, to see what appears to be the
living breathing persons of Tolstoi.
Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Long
fellow and many other well known
literary characters.
Monday Afternoon-Van Cloister

Van Cloister Operatic Co., Opie Read.
The highest mark OF artistic merit
is reached in the Van Closter rccitals.
This truly remarkable singer, Mrs.
Van Closter, has had wide experience
in concert and grand opera work, and
she will be ably supported by How

Phone COMPANY
MUST PAY rent
According to Resolutions of
the City Council
TRANSACTING BUSINESS
WITHOUT A FRANCHISE
Aldermen Believe that Sixty Dollars
rlonth Should be Paid
for Privilege

After several months of quie-
tude, during which the applica-
ton for franchise of the Noun
tain States Telephone and Tele-
graph company has been allowed
to rest until the time limit has
expired. the city council is once
more ready to try conclusions
with the telephone company, or
SO it appears from their action at
the regular meeting of the coun-
Gil last Friday evening, when
resolution requiring the telephone
company to pay rental for the
use of the city streets was pre-
sented and unanimously adopted.
This resolution, which is pub
lisled in full elsewhere in this
paper, charges the telephone com
pany $50 a month for the use of
the public streets, alleys and
grounds since the expiration of
the old franchise-Nov. 20, 1914
and the same monthly rental as
long as the company continues to
maintain its poles and wires in
the city, or until it secures a fran
chise from the city council.
1t now appears to be up to the
telephone company to provide
county service, a rebate upon all
business transacted thru the local
exchange, and other concessions
requested by the aldermanic
board, or else to gracefully pay
the rental asked, which will
amount to about three times the
compensation offered in the origi-
nal application for franchise.
Bond Is Approved

The petition of Fritz Demus to
remit the S5 tiue imposed by
