In the season.
Twelve cars left Vernal on the trip
to Meeker and Steamboat, but four
started over the lower Yampa river
road to Steamboat and will make the
return trip by way of Meeker. The
eight cars that came to Meeker will
go home by the Yanpa river route ;
thus all will have u chance tO inspect
both roads.
Mayor Samuels OF Vernal was
leader of the party, and WAS ably
assisted by Charles A. johnson,

Light company.

All of the Vernal folks left for
Steamboat, Monday morning, ex-
cepting the S. r. Bennion party,
which was detained here for q few
days pending the arrival Of repairs
for their car.
These sociability runs between
communities are q good thing In
many ways. They are big factors in
pushing to the fore the good roads
campaign, and we know that the
present visit of this large delegation
Of people from Vernal and the Uintah
basin, composed of some Of the best
citizens of that live community, will
do much to still further cement the
already strong ties of community in
terest and good feeling that already
exists between the Vernal and
Meeker sections.

Toles and Harvey Exonerated

1t will be remembered that some
weeks ago, Ernest ToIes and BRYAN
Harvey of lower White, were placed
under arrest by the sheriff of Motrat
county for alleged "beefing" on the
range.
The complaining witness against
Toles and Harvey was one Lewis
Olson, then in Jail at Craig, charged
with horse stealing.
Olson admitted, at the late session
of the district court at Craig, that he
lied concerning Toles and Harvey;
so the case against them was prompt
ly quashed.
The law firm of Montgomery d
Clark, Meeker, represented Messrs.
Toles and Harvey.

tough nut got ten years in the pen.

COMING CONCERTS.

Paderewski will give his only recital In
this city next Friday, December II, at
i:3O under the management of Mrs. Will
liam Greene, at the New National Thea
ter.
When the celebrated pianist first be-
gan his career was known chiefly as
most extraordinary interpreter of
the works Of Chopin. and later on he
became equally famous for his playing
Of the intimate romanticism of Schu-
mann. 1t seemed to those who heard
him during his first visits to this coun-
try that, no matter how exquisitely
beautiful his playing was. the big
note would never be heard. He seemed
to be essentially q lyric artist. His
exquisite sense OF tone, the delicate
graduations of color with which he
marked 1t and the singing quality
with which he filled 1t. came as reve-
lations to his hearers. Yet something
was lacking.
That something can be easiest de-
fined as the epic quality. the quality
which made Rubinstein and Liszt su
preme. As Paderewski grew older 1t
was seen that a gradual evolution
was taking place In his style, and
now the great artist has reached the
point for which he strove so diIigent-
ly. He can be lyric or epic at will and
as the music demands.

II. but because its financing was on a
wrong basis. Therefore. there ID a likeli-
hood that the piece will go out on the
road under new management. and on
that account the scenery has some value.
Usually there is nothing quite SO i'm
possible to sell as even the most elaborate
scenery Of a production that has failed.
This sale in bankruptcy is a sad ending
to an enterprise that started with high
financial hopes. Its promoters made II a
company with cumulative seven per cent
preferred stock, whose purchasers re-
ceived a forty per cent bonus In COM
mon stock. To prospective investors
they stated that after very careful esti-
mating If the Century played the season
to poor business the profit from tickets
and the side enterprises Of bar. restau-
rant. dancing. etc, would be 100000 net;
IL to fair business. Sl50.000: If to good
business. Sep0.O00 and II a season Of fifty
weeks was played to capacity business,
the net profit would be over $50o.Ool
Something Of an advance lure that for an
undertaking which after two months
landed in the hands Of a receiver. And
Of its kind it was good show. too.
Quieting Down.
The Christmas shopping season is upon
us and even in this unusually prosper
Gus theatrical year the managers have
no heart for new productions until the
Christmas money has got back into the
usual channels Of expenditure. They are
all pretty well equipped for the good
holiday season that comes with a rush
beginning with Christmas night As
Christmas comes on Saturday this year
the professionals do not have the custO-
mary hardship Of a Christmas matinee
without extra pay.
Owing to the expected 1ull in business
We have only one novelty to come this
week-Grace Georges production of Ber-
nard Shaw's Major Barbara" In which
she impersonates the rich girl who be-
comes a Salvation Army lass.
We may also have a reproduction of
THE Unborn" which is just now un-
dergoing a novel experience. 1t is a play
dealing with a sexual question in the
frank way usual in the sociologically
educational drama The licensing author
tiles objected to its performance as
regular theatrical attraction and threat
ened to close the Princess Theater when
II was announced. Under a temporary
injunction its promoters were able to
give few representations last week.
When 1t came to argument. rather than
face the possibility Of a permanent
injunction. they stated they were willing
to entrust the propriety of the play to q
board Of arbitrators to be chosen by the
two parties to the action. The city au-
assented to this. and as soon
as the arbitrators are chosen and can
see the play its ultimate fate will be
known. This Is q new kind Of critics
verdict for New York, and II is lucky
for a good many plays that the question
Of whether they shall go on or stop at
once does not hinge on the arbitration of
the regular critics.
