Howard Theater Orchestra
Gives Concert Sunday Aft
ernoon That Proves Capa-
biIities of MonoIith as a
Sounding Board
BY ANGUS PERKERSON

The largest natural amphitheater
in the world will be built immediate
ly at Stone mountain, according to
an announcement made Sunday aft
ernoon following recital given at
the foot of the mountain by the
Howard orchestra, led by Enrico
Leide.
The musicians VINO set up their
instruments in a bowl of rock just
below the point where Gutzon Borg
lum will carve his mighty memorial
to the Confederacy, and who hung
their sheets Of music to the twigs of
trees, played the "Star Spangled
Banner" Dixie" march music and
operate airs.
Several thousand people were
grouped under the trees that look
like dwarf shrubs at the foot of the
sheer side of the mountain and along
the sloping ledge of stone that is to
be cut away to make a place for the
big platform of the amphitheater.
Among those who heard the Howard
orchestra under the shadow of the
mountain where the steep side, 500
feet high and hundreds of feet in
width, served as a vast sounding
board, where Gutzon Borglum, Mrs.
Charles It. Phillips, president of the
Atlanta chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy;
Miss Nan Stephens, district chair
man for five southern states in
the National Federation of Mu-
sic clubs; Mrs. T, T. Stevens, sec.
ond vice president of the Confederate
Memorial association; Sam Venable,
10on1Jntoif0 and who
has dedicated the steep side to use
as a memorial to the COnfederacy;
his sister, Mrs. Frank T. Mason, and
hundreds of other prominent Atlanta
men and women.
AS the first step toward the amphi-
theater, a platform forty feet wide
and over 100 feet long will be built
in the next sixty days against the
foot of the mountain by Gutzon
Borglum, and temporary seats will
be put into place. A permanent plat
form will be erected later on, and
stone seats like those in Greek thea
tiers, will be provided.
To Build Lake
Just below the platform lake will
be built, and the seats will stretch
upward along terraced land from the
lake toward the hill that reaches it's
crest a quarter of a mile from the
foot of the mountain.
Owing to the fact that the face
of the mountain furnishes the great
est sounding board ever known, it
is possible to stand on the hilltop,
a quarter of a mile away, and hear
the music of violin as clearly as
though standing only a few feet
from the mass of rock. Since this
is true it will be possible to make
the seating capacity Of the amphi-
theater of any size desired. An audi
ence of $4,000 or $4,000 or even Of
100000 people could be assembled
there and hear music on the big
platform.
When the lake is completed below
the platform, the added effect of
music heard across water will be
| furnished.
Plans are to hold great chorus re-
citals at the Stone mountain amphi-
| theater, particularly on Sunday aft
ernoons, and to arrange concerts

eminent and was running things
their own way" the attorney gen
eral said. 1.-The Ku Klux Khan was
the government of Morehouse. That
much has been established beyond a
doubt. The state also has estab-
lished the identity of some of the
members of the mob who murdered
Watt Daniel and Thomas Richard.
Against some of the hooded men
there will be as high as six charges
made"
Whether the state will ask Judge
Fred L. Odom, Of the Sixth judicial
district, to order a special grand
jury to hear the testimony taken at
the open hearing will be determine
by developments, Mr.. Coco stated.
1t was stated in the. event there
was no grand jury indictment return
ed the state could proceed against
those involved through affidavit for
anything less than murder.
Governor Parker declined to DIS
cuss the conference.

TEXTILE MILL LABOR
ORGANIC ERS COMING
To SOUTHERN MILLS

MANCHESTER, N. H, Jan. "a
President Thomas F. Mcmahon, of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea, at a mass meeting of textile
workers here Sunday night, declared
that in ten days three organizers
would proceed to the south to begin
the work of unionizing cotton mill
workers there. He said the locality
where this work would begin was be-
ing kept secret for fear the organic
ers would be denied offices for head
quarters when they arrived.
President Mcmahon cautioned the
textile workers not to take seriously
the threat that northern cotton mills
would take up locations in the south,
declaring water there was not fit to
use in the manufacture of cotton

Unique Riding School

COBLENZ, Jan. 24.-By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-What is consider.
ed probably the finest riding school
in the world will be discontinued
when the American army stables
at CobIenz are emptied by the sale
of horses or their shipment home.
The American forces in Germany,
under the encoura cement of Major
General Henry T. Allen. the Anerl-
can commander, during their stay
here, organized riding teams which
are said to be superior to any il. tt-e
United States. These teams have
won more than fifty per cent of first
prizes in events in which they have
contested.
The horses represent the last OF
the animals of the American forces,
particularly of the old Third divi-
sion. This division had more than
10000 animals, many of which have
been sold to Poland and Cztchc-
Slovakia.
Of the remainder, 40 Of the best
charges will be shipped to the Unit
ed States. These are exclusive OF
some ten officers mounts which are
going to the French cavalry schools
for use by student officers. The
remainder, 273 horses and 1877 mules,
will be auctioned off here.
The training arena in Cobienz
will be taken over by the French.
Major John Downer, who took plai.l
cavalry and artillery horses and de-
veloped them into wonderful Jump
ers, is heartbroken over the pros
pect of parting with his teams of
picked horses, which won p1lzes
from Italian, French and English
riders in their own competitions, in
which Americans rarely before haG
been successful.

SAVE THE JoBsi

In the efforts to bring about some
sort of retrenchment in the state
government various bills are finding
their way into the legislature, and
unless the greatest care is. exer-
cised by the members of the two
bodies, an irreparable injury may
be done to the state of Nevada.
For many years it has been a
popular pastime to swat the COM
missions and every publicity seeking
member Of either house immedi-
ately starts his press agenting By
introducing some measure to abolish
a few commissions. The public
mind has been kept in such a state
on this account that the general
impression is that all commissions
are worthless, and should be abol-
ished.-Sparks Tribune.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-02-08

Legislature, and instead of derison,
it has come to be one commanding
the respect Of his confreres in the
legislature as well as the entire
people Of this state.
Senator Miller has introduced a
bill in the senate, which calls for
the consolidation of several Of the
state offices, as well as doing away
with a few Of the expensive COM
missions, that were originally
brought into existence in order that
this state might not be behind its
Weather and more populous sis
tiers.
Senator Miller advocates the abo-
lition of the tax and public service
commissions in their present form,
and substituting commissions made
up of state officials. There is no
very good reason for tax COM
mission of seven members, all of
whom draw good salaries out of
the public moneys for their SER
vices as at present, nor is there a
good reason for the maintenance
Of the public service commission on
its present basis.
First of all, by virtue of these
bills, the undoubted excellent fea-
ture is that the Lieutenant COVER
nor, who has long drawn a salary
of $4,000 per annum for presiding
over the senate for sixty days every
two years, will be put to work.
Very good. The public service
commission, if this bill passes, will
be composed of members Of the
official family, such as the Iieuten-
ant governor, secretary of state and
others. 1t is proposed to put the
tax commission on a similar basis,
each, however, being provided with
paid secretaries who should be ex-
perts along the lines of endeavor
of the commissions.
Another bill has been introduced
by Miller to consolidate the office
of bank examiner and auditor. At
present the work is carried on by
two officials who travel throughout
the state visiting the same coun-
ties and mourning duplicate ex-
penses.
Both of these bills are deserving
of serious consideration, for they
are in line with a policy of the
soundest economy. and business eff
ficiency, and in addition they put
the lieutenant governor to work.
which in itself is a most excellent
recommendation.
Senator Miller is deserving of a
great deal Of credit for his efforts to
reduce the tax burden at this time
of excrutiatingly high taxes, and
these bills should pass.-Elko Free

SEA CuLLs, EGGS

Somebody has made a great dis
covery. 1t is that seagulls' eggs
are edible. The discoverer has
written piece about it, in which
he generously shares the honor O.
he discovery with sea cook. There
$ that which is somewhat amusing
ibout the account, for the know
edge that "Farallone" eggs are
eatable is about as old as the pres
,nce here of white men.
Time was when the San Francisco
markets were loaded up with these
yariegated eggs. Men made such
a business of gathering them that
the government put stop to the
robbing of nests on the Farallones
to prevent the extinction of bird
life there. The Farallone egg is
of greenish color with black ir-
regular spots, as though splattered
from a pen unduly loaded with ink.
They are not at all appetizing
when soft-boiled-in fact they are
then nauseating-but when hard
boiled, which requires about twenty
minutes, they are paltable enough.
Those who are able to remember
how profuse Farallone eggs once
were will be surprised at their dis
covery and the fuss that is made
over them as edible food.-Carson

ADVERTISING NEVADA

It has long been realized by
thoughtful citizens that the success
full "selling" of Nevada, its cities
and stretches of country lands to
the world beyond its geographical
confines depends as much upon the
existence Of the opportunities for
individual contentment as it does
upon those physical attractions for
which the state is far famed. The
principle involved is well known to
expert statesmen and cannot be too
strongly stressed or too clearly
kept in mind by everyone who is
public spirited enough to work for
the development of the community
in which he lives and the state to
which he owes allegiance.
In the final test the chief prob
lem before Nevada is to create con-
ditions attractive to the newcomer.
Nature has been bontiful with her
undeveloped stores, and they speak
for themselves to people who al
ready know the state, but to the
world in general there should 60 a
great amount Of advertising.-Car-
son Appeal.

MAKE 1T HARDER

A step that seems to be one in
the right direction is noted at Wash
ington, where Senator Wadsworth
Of New York has introduced a joint
resolution in congress, looking to
the Tightening up of the process of
amending the constitution of the
United States, and a favorable re-
port seems probable form the judi
ciary committee to which it was
referred. The resolution provides
that members of at least one branch
Of the state legislature ratifying a
proposed amendment to the federal
constitution must be elected after
the amendment has been proposed,
and that any state may require
confirmation of the action of its
legislature by a popular vote; and
that any state may change its vote
until the amendment has been rati-
fled by three-fourths Of the states.
There are 30 many proposed amend
ments now floating around the ma
tional capital that the Wadsworth
bill appears most timely. States
might well follow up the lead at
Washington, and render less easy
the amendment to their constitu-
tions.-Virginia City Chronicle.
