"LittIe Buckshot''

In all amateur dramatic work, the
actors receive nothing but praise, be-
cause usually they do great deal of
hard work and spend much time, for
the amusement and benefit of the pub
lie without other compensation than the
knowledge that they have tried to help
out.
Hence in the criticism of the presenta-
ton of such play as that given on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, under
any circumstances, each and all the par
Elephants deserve only the warm thanks
and hearty appreciation of the public.
For this also, the reporter is limited
in possible comparisons; and may only
only speak generally of the performance
We are pleased to report that in this
case. that we only repeat the words of
the audience when we say that the play
was most excellently put on and worked
out. That there was no one of the par
Elephants but did we'll, and that individ-
ually the parts taken were remarkably
well-balanced. The play is full of lively
action and dramatic and tragical Incl
dents, which must have taken lots of
drill and considerable natural talent to
work out as smoothly as it was given.
The company, most of which were in
the play given last year, showed consid-
cradle improvement in voice and parti-
ticualy in ''stage business" The cos
tunes were we'll gotten up but perhaps
1T would not be considered an unfair
criticism to say that the gentlemen in
the dress-suits seemed trifle less at
ease than when they were changed in
to cowboys and wore the murderous
looking belts and ''guns." Among the
ladies only Miss Annie Gill had to dress
in special costume, and she an Indian
girl ''made up in moccasins, bead work
feathers and general ensemble to en-
fiction The exhibition of the gastrono-
mic powers of Messrs Parker and Horr
showed their great natural talen in this
direction as we'll as long practice.
i On Tuesday evening, the kids were
highly delighted at their opportunity to
see the ''show" at low rates and on
Wednesday evening while the hall was
filed to the doors, the fact that the
children were not there made the capa.
city of the hall sufficient without undue
growing. The total receipts for both
evenings were about S1l8 most of which
:: goes to make the final payment on the
hall piano.
! The members of the city government
desire us to express their hearty appre-
citation and thanks for the efforts of the
Dramatic club and their assistance in
paying for the piano which had been an
extraordinary expense" at the time
when su.h expense came rather hard on
the city finances. In this they also de.
sire to give particular credit to Mr.. id
Winlaw who has spent so much time
and successful effort in drilling and
managing the play.
The Pembina Band Orchestra con.
tributed great deal to the pleasure of
the evening. They gave quite pro.
gram between acts and everyone felt
pleased and proud that our little city
could boast of musical aggregation
with so much ability. Many much
larger places would be glad to have such
q company of good musicians.

The Red River And Weather

+ 4 NJ 81
All this week the weather has been
rather cold and it has taken good fires
to keep the houses warm. On Saturday
there was quite fall of snow, perhaps
four inches that was rather moist. In
consequence of the cold weather there
has been but little thawing and the
snow banks are still with us in large
quantities. There is no prospect of
seeding conditions for at lie ,st ten days
yet, even if it should come warm and
pleasant at once.
The cold weather, however, has had
the effect of stopping the rise in the
Red river at Grand Forks, the height of
the water being last Sunday, and since
that time the river at that place has
fallen about three or four feet. 1t just
reached the danger point there, flooding
some of the Easements and covering the
lower parts of some streets.
At this place the water has been
slowly but steady rising at the rate of
about fourteen inches day and is now
about thirteen feet below the highwater
mark of 1897. We may expect the
river to continue to rise more and more
slowly until Sunday, with the present
weather, and allowing about week for
the flood wave to get here from the
Forks.
So far the Red Lake river, which has
equal or greater capisity for flood water
than the Red river above the Forks, has
not risen to any extent and the ice is
still fast. So we are in hopes that the
waters of the Red river will be safe be-
low us before the Red Lake river starts.
With these conditions it seems as if all
danger had passed. OF course, rains
and sudden thaws might still give us
more water than we want, but it is not
probable.
The Pembina and Tongue rivers have
not shown any disposition to get on the
rampage, but there is large amount of
snow water to come down these channels
and it quite possible that there might
be trouble on these local streams before
the water gets away.
