PALACE SCREEN !
WILL FEATURE
FROTHY COMEDY

.'The basis OF real comedy must
be plausibility, humanness, and real-
ity.'
That is the statement of Reginald
Denny, star of the Universal-Jewel
light comedy, California Straight
Ahead" which opens tomorrow at
the Palace theater.
Denny believes the plot of ''Cali-
fornia Straight Ahead is basically
funny because its situations are bas-
ed on an experience gone through
by thousands of Americans. The
plot has to do with transcontin-
entail motor trip.
He contends that there ism t any
experience possible which would be
more productive of genuinely humor-
Gus situations than this, and praises
the authors, Byron Morgan and Har-
~ Pollard, for their efforts on the
story.
''The idea behind "California
Straight Ahead is basieally funny
because it is true, and it will appeal
to any one who has ever made, or
who ever plans to make, a cross
country automobile trip Denny
declared.
"Such situations are the basis of
real comedy, and such picture
shoul dbe much funnier, if it is well
done, than one with impossible sit
nations manufactured for the pur-
pose of getting over fantastic

Col. Calvin D. Cowles, U. S. A., re-
tired Of Hartford, Conn, kinsman
of Kit, is preparing genealogy of the
Carson family, and says Kit was q
born fighter"
1t appears that William Carson.
founder Of the family, came from the
north of Ireland settled in Pennsyl-
vania, and, about 1740, migrated with
the Boones and other families to North
Carolina. There he had abundant op-
portunity for acquiring a taste for
fighting Indians. He married Eleanor
McDuff in North Carolina and had sew
en- children, the Oldest of whom was
Lindsay, father of Kit, born in 1854.
Lindsay moved to South Carolina
about 1856. In 1892 he took his fam
| lily to Madison county, Kentucky. His
wanderings stopped in 1911, when he
established home in Howard county,
Missouri. He Joined with other set
tiers in occupying Cooper's fort, be-
tween Fayette and Boonesboro, from
1872 to 1916.
| Kit was the tenth of the fourteen
children of Lindsay Carson. All the
sons Of Lindsay, without exception
went west" after indians and buffalo
There are descendants scattered all
over the Middle West and the Rocky
Mountain region. "Now that the In
| dian Is guarded ON the reservations
and the buffalo is about extinct" wrote
| one of the Carsons, II am at q loss
to know what their descendants will
do for pastime."
SO 1t may be, as Colonel Cowles
says, that Kit was born fighter, but
he did not look the part. To be sure,
the portrait reproduced from a paint
ing in the capitol at Denver does look
rather. warlike.
Anyway, this "born fighter" was a
''little, bow-legged blond, with a soft
voice and gentle disposition" He
was only five feet six inches tall, his
legs being too short for the rest of
him. He was strongly built, with long
arms, and weighed about 100 pounds.
His complexion and hair were rather
light" and his eyes were blue. He was
honest, reticent and modest.
The Indians called Kit Vi-hiu-nis,
Little Chief. They feared him, 1t is
true, because of his efficiency as a
fighting man. But they respected him
for his honesty, fair dealing and
peaceableness, and they loved him for
his friendliness. He spoke their Ian
guage, visited them and played with
their children-the last a sure road to
their favor. In time he came to know
their habits and customs, their ways
of thinking, their mode of warfare.
They knew that he knew-and In that
lay his influence for peace. Many
times. he acted as mediator and pre-
vented bloody battles among the
tribes. AS Indian agent he headed off
many an uprising.

trapper were a time of savage per-

Increased Telephone
Service for Clifside
Exchange Announced

Substantial additions will be made
to the switchboard equipment of the
Chffside central office to meet the de-
mand for increased telephone service
and to provide for expected growth,
it was announced by c. A. MCGOWAN,
local manager for the New York Tel
ephone Company.
Six operating positions will be add
ed to the switchboard, which, with
associated apparatus, will enable the
local central Office to serve approx
mately $50 more telephones.
The number of telephones connect
ed with the Cliffside central office has
increased 200 per cent during the
past ten years. On May 81, 1915,
there were 939 telephones served by
this office. The number increased to
1,462 in 1920, and at the present time
2,S21 are in, service, rejecting a
healthy community growth.
Further evidence of this develop
ment is seen in the increased number
of telephone calls, the daily average
of which has grown from 1882 in
May, 1915, and 1875 in May, 1920, to
16,527 in May of this year. The aver
age number of calls during the busy
hour of the day, between and 10
a. M, is 1,43S. This average includes
both local and toll calls. The use
of the telephone for business and So
cial communication with neighboring
far hou
grown rapidly in the past few years.

sonal encounters Men enforced their
rights as they saw them with rifle,
pistol and knife. At the annual rendez-
vOus of the fur-trader duels to the
death were Of common occurrence.
Yet Kits disposition was so peace
able and his way so inoffensive that
so far as known he had but one per-
sonal encounter-and that was thrust
on him. In the early Thirties at a
rendezvous in the Green River coun-
try of Wyoming a French trapper
named Shunar pursued an ArapahO
maid. who appealed to Kit for pro-
lection. She got it. Shunar there
upon mounted and rode through the
rendezvous with his rifle, announcing
that he was looking for Kit. Kit was
instantly in the saddle. Both men
fired together Shunar's ball grazed
Kits scalp. Kits pistol ball shattered
Shunars forearm and caused his
death.
Kit fell in love with the Arapaho
maid and married her She died after
Kit had become famous. There was
daughter, Adaline. Kit took her to
his old home in Missouri.
The charming landscape Where Kit
Carson Trapped-is view from the
front porch Of my cabin In Tahosa
Valley, 1900 feet up in Rocky Noun
tain National park (the land was
bought from the government ten years
before the park was created). In the
background is Longs Peak, "King of
the Rockies" Kit trapped there with
two companions the winter of 1S30-31.
In 1875 walls of his by 10 log cabin
were still standing and the stone chin
ney and fireplace were intact. Wan
ton campers burned the cabin; some
body carried off most of the stone
work. To protect the spot l set up
great slab of pine, appropriately
carved.
Other changes wrought by century
of settlement and civilization are
worth noting. Kit probably took heavy
toll of the beaver, but they grew
many again. The level land shown
was all made by the filling of the
beaver ponds with silt. The stream,
which still flows among the willows,
was in Kits day considerable. When
| Estes Park became a summer resort
hotel-keeper in Tahosa Valley went
upstream, threw dam across and
diverted a large part of its flow to
his own needs. Trappers necessarily
kept after the beaver until only eight
individuals were known to exist in the
many streams Of the region. Then the
settlers waged war on the trappers
Rocky Mountain National park, estah-
lished in 1915, automatically became
a wild-life sanctuary. Now the beaver
are back in numbers on the very
stream Kit Carson trapped almost a
century ago. Their dams have made
three sizeable ponds in my front yard
Sometimes / almost wish Kit would
come back-to save my aspens.

Palisade Firefnen
Play Annual Ball

The Palisade firemen mad their an
nual baseball frolic last Saturday at
the Fairgrounds. 1t wasn't as long
nor as comical as the game last year,
but at that it had it's smiles. There
were points of hazard in it between
Umpire "Jim" Stewart where some OF
the players wanted to rule out some
of his decisions. 1t finally got so bad
that batsmen hit by the ball refused
to bulge from the plate and waited
for another pitch, though ordered to
first base. There was no riot or any
thing like that, but there were few
occasions when things looked squally.
OF course Umpire Stewart, being a
pacifist, didn't want any bloodshed,
so let the game go on. Under differ
ent circumstances the situation might
have changed. The batters were there
to hit the ball, not to be hit by 1t.
The arguments were peppery, but the
heat of battle finally faded away
though the afternoons sun rays made
up for it.
The game as a whole was lively.
Eddie Maron, he of the professional
predictions, was in the game with
both feet and made four clean hits
and three runs in four times up in
a five inning game, one of them
home run clean over the tennis court
not into it.
1t was the Westsiders against the
Eastsiders, the former finally winning
out, 13 to 7. The winning team made
IA hits, the losers 10. For the win
ners Butz was the star. He got hit
in the first inning and two home runs
in the fourth. MCGEE also was a
star, with home run, two hits and
two runs in two innings play. Clar-
ence Hunicke, who starred last year,
outs this year. But he put a lot of
pep into the game.
The pitching was feature, Carl
Mayn shooting them over for the
Eastsiders, Gus Mayn for the West
siders, brother against brother. Bar
ney Brady essayed to pitch for his
team awhile, but he isn't in his broth
er Paul's class and allowed eight hits
and six runs in the fourth inning,
which broke up the game. He also
struck out twice, which wasn't up to
his high standards in the old P. A. c.
The game as whole wasn't at all
bad, especially the decisions.

This summer the Boone family of
the United States gathered In Ken

settlement of that state by Daniel

dence that the Santa Fe Trail cele-

Daniel Boone's grandson-and rival in
public estimation as woodman, hunter,

Carson. For the Santa Fe Trail with
out Kit Carson is like Hamlet with
Hamlet out
This centennial Of the Santa Fe
Trail really opens up the whole story
of the winning of the West. For the
Santa Fe Trail led to the acquisition
of Texas, the Mexican War, the oc-
cupation of California, the Overland
Mail, the Pony Express and the meet
ing of the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific at Ogden.
And for forty years Kit Carson mad
a hand in 1t all. First he was iden-
titled with Bent's Fort on the Ar
kansas in Colorado, the famous trad
ing post of the famous Bent Brothers
lin its time the most famous of all
the trading posts west of the Missis-
sippi. Successfully he won fame as
an explorer; as guide for Fremont and
his right-hand man In the California
expedition; as scout and dispatch
bearer; as Indian agent and as United
States Army officer. Possibly no from
tiersman had more to do with settling
the West. Certainly no man had more
influence for peace with the Indians.
Here Is brief chronology that hints
at his many activities:
1S09-Born in Madison county, Ken
tucky; 1871, taken to Howard county,
Missouri; 1924. apprenticed to seddler
in Franklin.
1826-Ran away to join Santa Fe
caravan 1928. settled In Taos, N. NJ.
1S29-Trapping trip to San Francisco
bay; 1S30-32, trapping in Rockies and
Northwest.
1S32-4O-Hunter for Bent's fort, Colo
rado.
Is42-44-Guide for Fremont; 1s45,
with Fremont in California.
l846-4S-Three round trips, Califor-
MIA to Washington, with dispatches.
1S53-Drove $500 sheep, New Mexico
to California.
1S54--Indian agent for New Mexico.
1862 -64-Fought Confederates and
Navajos; colonel First Regiment New
UAI,. ta1 hrts a
general.
1S6S-Visited Washington with depu-
tation of Indians; died at Fort Lyon,
