MOVING PICTURES.
Colonial.

Lucien Hubbard, who wrote the
scenario for Captain Swift" the
Earle Williams feature watch will be
shown at the Colonial theater tonight
followed the original play as written
by C. Haddon Chambers quite CLOSELY,
but found it necessary to take few
liberties with the original at the close
Iof the play. In the stage version
Captain Swift walked off the stage
and killed himself with a revolver.
There might have been another way,
but it wouldn't have been so melodra-
matte. A suicide, and especially By
the hero, would never do for the
finale of a photoplay, and particularly
as the hero was a lover and all the
sympathy is with him. So those who
are so fortunate as to see the pic
ture version will not be disappointed
in the love story. The hero, thanks
to the adapter, not only keeps right
on living, but he gets the girl as well.

"The copperhead."
In February, 1918, there was pre-
scented on the New York stage a play
called "The Copperhead." The day
before it's opening no one knew any
thing about it. The day after the
entire city was talking about It. ,
'"The Copperhead," by Augustus
Thomas, with Lionel Barrymore m
the leading role, scored the most pro
nounced success of any play on tft
stage that season. It's appeal was
universal The house WAS sold ou1
every night for months. Critics pro
claimed it to be one of the Creates
plays ever written.
"The Copperhead" has been maze

CEYLON w. c. T. u. WILL
ESTABLISH DRY EATS"

The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of Ceylon is taking steps
to establish temperance restaurants
where all sorts of non-alcoholic
drinks and light refreshments will be
served, where tired workers can rest
and if they desire it, find recreation
in games, picture shows, newspapers
and books which will be provided
These restaurants are to be establish
ed in the hope of competing with the
open saloons for the patronage of the
young men. The Ceylon Daily News
commends the idea in an editorial
The News says:
The counter attraction which
the Union seeks to provide,
coupled with untiring insistencc
on the havoc caused by the drink
traffic, may go long way in in
surfing the success of the move
ment. The object of the Union
deserves support and we earn
estly appeal to all who can be
touched by the misfortune of
their fellow beings who have be-
come slaves to curse, to en-
courage the Union to enter up
on its commendable pursuit. !.

Siftings Is Awarded
the County Contract

The county commissioners met
this week and organized for the
new year. Commissioner John
w. Green was elected chairman
of the board. j. W. B. Smith
was reappointed county attorney
without any opposition.
The Siftings was awarded the

ers' proceedings, semi-annual re-
ports, miscellaneous advertising
and the delinquent tax list. The
Siftings was again designated the

There was no bid in for burial
of paupers. The commissioners
set a price of $50, however as the
maximum for each case.

Denver Stock Show
Will Be Greatest Ever

Everybody is getting ready to
take in the l4th Annual National
Western Stock Show at Denyer,
which opens Saturday, .Dancar,
II, with the Students Judging
Contest, when the Judging teams
from several western agricultural
colleges will compete. The show
proper will open on Monday
morning. January 10, with judg-
ingin all of the departments. The
entries are all in and the manage
ment is having one of the greatest
problems it has ever struggled
with to find room for the hundreds
of exhibits that are seeking ad-
mission. Altho over 100000 was
spent during the past year for the
purpose of enlarging facilities,
the annual show has grown 80
rapidly that the problem Of find
ing room continues be the pressing
one.
Not only is the question of find
ing room for the exhibits one that
is making difficulty. but the indi-
cations are that Denver will be
called upon to take care of the
greatest crowd over assembled in
that city. The Denver Tourist Bu-
reau has undertaken the task of
listing all of the hotel rooms and
private rooms in the city, and
visitors will be directed to lodg-
ing places when they arrive, either
thru the office of the bureau at
the Union statioa or from the
apto~ i otiice at s;teS f7th sstrest.
Manager Burhans promises that
he will have room or beds for
all who apply and while the hotels
will insist on two in bed, the
prices charged will only be the
same as usual, except that room
for which 50 is normally charged
is expected to produce 81 for two
persons. Denver is thoroly awake
to the situation and everything
possible will be done to take care
of the thousands who are coming
in a comfortable way, altho many
will be unable to secure rooms in
their regular hotels.

Utility Commission
Gives Notice Of Raise

The following information has
been sent to the Siftings by the
public utility commission to be
published in conformity with the
usual custom for informing the
public of proposed rate changes,
and to give the public an oppor-
tunity to resist the movement if
they SO desire.
"An average increase of twenty
per cent in rates for electric cur
reut-sold for power purposes in a
large part OF the territory served
by the Colorado Power company
is proposed in schedules fled with
the state public utilities commits
sion, to become effective January
20.
"The advance applies princi-
pally to the larger consumers of
power in Eagle. Lake, Park. Pit
kin. Garfield, summit, Clear Greek.
Gilpin. Boulder, and Adams
counties. Residence, business or
street lighting in cities and towns
in the territory named is not af-
fected. In addition to power
rates. certain wholesale rates are
included in the proposed changes.
These apply to electric current
sold by the Colorado Power COM
pany to the Gilpin County Light
and Power company, which serves
Black Hawk aud Central City; the
Carbondale Light and Power COM
pany, at Carbondale, and the
Summit County Power company.
" Summit county The Summit
County fo.ses company has fled

of it's rates to consumers in con-
formity with the advance in rates
which the Colorado Power COM
pany proposes making for current

1.-THE necessity of obtaining
additional revenue to meet in
creased operating costs resulting
from the abnormal price levels of
the last three years is cited by the
company in support of its pro-
posed rate advances"
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1920-01-09
Rate Advance Delayed

As a result of protests presented
to the utility commission, the pro-
posed rate advance has been res
cinded until May II, to permit of
thorough investigation.
It is possible that conditions
will change between now and May
II, and that such data will be pre-
sented to the utility commission
that will permanently prevent the
proposed rate increase becoming
effective.
