company as well as furn1Sn water at
a very nominal price. He gave as
his opinion that Governor Haskell
would not ask for anything I'M
reasonable.
II. Larsen was the next to take
the floor. He was of the opinion
that the coming Of the North and
South road through Rawlins would
result In a mutual benefit for the
city and the company and he stated
that this community should do all
within It's power to bring the rail-
road here.
Attorney N. r. Greenfield was
next called upon by the chairman
and his remarks. indicated that he
had given considerable attention to
the method by which a cash bonus
and other things OF value could be
secured in order to obtain the north
and south line.
1t was his opinion that the city
should do everything within Its
power to interest the Haskell people
in Rawlins.
His remarks on the method OF
raising the funds required to obtain
the north and south railroad won
considerable favorable comment
from his hearers both during and
following his talk.
Mr.. Greenfield ould have a
method Of assessment provided by
which each property owner in this
city would be called upon to do his
share in the raising OF the neces-
sary funds. A committee should be
appointed he said. to draw up a list
OF all tho property owners. whether
residents or not. and the necessary
assessment should be made on each
person. Public opinion. he stated,
would be no overwhelmingly in favor
Of the entrance Of the now road into
Ra wlins that oven the reluctant
citizen would feel II necessary to do
his bit.
It was also Attorney 0reenfield's
opinion that the city should grant
the Haskell interests terminal and
factory sites and n good supply Of
water. the latter item being OF much
importance to a railroad.

PASSION PLAY
 WITNESSED BY
 GREAT CROWDS

OBERRAMERGAU, Jan. 18.-Per- formers in last years Passion Play received an average of 18,000 marks for their services, according to the final financial statement issued by the committee in charge. The sum represents about $225 at the pre- vailing rate of exchange.
 At least 528 hours were spent in actual performances. Sixtysix pre- sentations were given between May 9 and September 26, each of which took four hours in the morning and four in the afternoon In addition there were seven months of re- hearsals. AS is commonly known, men who are candidates for the chief roles begin preparations years in advance by raising boards, since wigs and make up are not, allowed. Villagers also must bear in mind always indeed from childhood, that good character is an essential to being chosen for the much-coyeted honor of participating.
 The complete cast this year in clude approximately 1000 persons, all of whom, as usual, wer Ober- ramergauers. Of this number 124 were soloists or had speaking parts. large number of women and chil- dren were used, especially in the mob scenes. Anton Lang, who DOT trayed the part of Christ for the third time, is reported to have waived his right to a higher share of the receipts in order that the average compensation for the partici- pants might be increased.

committees statement shows, while 5,806,393 marks were realized on the sales of librettos and photographs. The expenditures amount to only r. 753,948 marks, having been kept comparatively low because little new construction was required, many cos tunes were in good condition from the 1910 season, and all necessary dyeing of old material was done gratis by Munich firm whose man ager is a resident here.
 More than 30 countries were repre- sented by the 318,O4O visitors who saw the play this year. Eliminating 248,775 Germans, the quotas by na- tionalities were headed by tourists from the United States who num- bered 22,231.

A WHOLESOME LESSON

The recently discovered robberies of Gov ernment stores by Government employees is Ia reflection upon Government operation, but the incident gives no advantage or di8advant- age to either the Republican or the Democratic Administration. The robberies began under the Democratic Administration and were co1- tinued after the Republicans came into power. Regardless of party responsibility, the in cident teaches a wholesome lesson in con- nection with the movement for Government ownership and operaton It is hardly prob able that any private manager of a store Pas extensive as that of the Navy would suffer a loss of a million dollars worth of goods covering period of three years with out sooner discovering it.
 Losses of goods through theft are no more serious, however, than losses of goods by de- teroraton through neglect After the war when we had immense quantities of provisions on hand in the War Department, large quanti- ties were lost because perishable goods spoiled through neglect This experience has not been suffered by the United States alone. After the close of the war Great Britain under took to reduce the cost of living by conducting Government stores, and purchased and sold large quantities of goods. Large sums Of money were lost because the Government buy CTS paid f0r a quality of goods much higher than those delivered. In other instances dried fruits were made unstable by carelessncSs in poor judgment as to the quantity and char acter of goods that could be bought and sold to advantage The result of British oXper-
 fence was that deficits must be made up out of the public treasury, and as a result Great Britain abandoned the policy of conducting Government stores.
 In our own case the goods on hand in the Navy Department were chiefly, if not entirely, for the use of the Navy, and not for sale The losses, however, illustrate the impracticablity of inducing public employees to exercise the same degree of care that will be exercised by private operator who stands to lose If he
 is careless in conducting his business
 This recent experience should serve as decisive check on the effort of a number of paternasts to have the United States em- bark in new or enlarged merchandising busi- ness.

The House Appropriations Committee has warned of another naval race in the construr- lion of light cruisers, submarines, and aircraft unless the principles of the Washington con- ference are extended so as to include them. Tn spite of the fact that France and Italy have thus far neglected to ratify the A1na- ments pact, it has already produced bene- ficial results that are apparent to all the world. Before destructive competition IS begun i'll other branches of the service, 1t IS probable that understandings will be reached limiting their strength.
