located about 45miles west of Cham

their ranch, but preparations are

the spring. A number of the ranch
owners are making arrangements to
put IN dams in the runs in that

There was a packed house at the
Grand Monday evening to see the
opening performance of the Londale
Theatre Co. ina Georgia Rosen the
title role being taken by Miss Leo
Dale Ingraham. The lady is a very
clever actress and in the character
she assumed her work was very good
indeed, frequently being applauded
by the audience. Gertrude Ramsdell,
as Dlnah the negress, was the best
we ever saw in that line Of work.
She hal the good sense not to overdo
the part as is usually the case and her
acting was highly endorsed by the
people. Maud Street as Mrs. Peyuon
gave a good Interpretation of the
villainous woman and had the cordial
hatred Of the audience in her work
against the heroine of the play.
Frank Ramsdell, who was not really
in his element in the character Of
Ezekiel Morse, the misery old man,
gave it a good presentation. W. S.
Lackaye, as Joe Peyton, was splendid
in every respect. He was also seen in
a speciality Of singing that "a very
pleasing. MI. Lackaye has been here
several times and is quite popular
