CITY OF CONVICTS IN
HEART OF MOUNTAINS

PARKDALE PRISON CAMP, Colo.
July 9.-Here in the heart OF one Of
Colorado's ruggedest mountain dis
tricts is probably the most remark
able municipality in the world.
Seventy-fiye convicts, including fif-
ty-three burglars and robbers, have
q government "of, for and by them
selves"
Only once since the camp was es"
tablished two and half years ago to
work on what will be the most beau
tlful scenic highway in the world, has
there been a violation Of any law
within the camps borders.
This consisted of the theft Of a
package OF tobacco. II was heinous
offense and was punished by the
greatest punishment possible-the
thief was returned to the penitentiary,
deprived Of outdoor employment and
rendered an outcast in the eyes OF
fellow prisoners
The day and night marshals in the
camp have nothing to do; their Off
ces are merely honorary.
Elections are honestly conducted
but arouse great excitement Notices
of primaries are duly protested, The
polls are conducted in regular fash
ion and the successful candidates are
ushered into the offices with much
formality.
A saloon keeper serving for life
for murder was recently elected may
or on the prohibition ticket He made
a political bargain with the socialists
and won.
Treatieses and theses are written
by the more learned members Of the
camp and discussed at town meet
ings" Principles Of good govern
ment are favorite topics for debates
Periodically social occasions are con-
Quoted inside the big tent which is
known as "city hall" The programs
consist of recitations, music. yaude-
vile and other forms of entertain
ment. The camp has a phonograpf
and $50 good records.
There is a board to pass ordinances
and arbitrate disputes. 1t drafted a
constitution. Only twice has it beer
called upon to settle disagreements.

OPERA STARS FOUND

who gets $4,000 an hour every public

temperament; imagine a Paderewski,

It's a part and parcel OF the business
