ADJUSTMENTS
MISS FLORENCE ROBERTS.

The originality OF the play, the
vivid portrayal Of its central role, the
even excellence Of the cast and the
tasteful beauty Of the production, are
contributing factors in the happy re-.
suit which Florence Roberts, under
John Cort's able management, has
reached in her presentation Of aThe
House Of Bondage" Those who have
had the pleasure Of seeing the play
declare that Miss Roberts is peculiar
" suited, that her company is BY far
the strongest she has ever had and
that Mr.. cort has mounted the play
with generosity and judgment
"The House of Bondage" which
comes to the Astoria Theatre On
Wednesday January 6, is the work OF
Seymour Obermer and, while it deals
with Englands select, it hits sub
ject that is interesting to as high a
degree on this side of the Atlantic as
the other, 1t points not only moral,
but several of them, yet it is not
sermon, 1t is an exposition OF incon-
trovertible facts from which the audi
tor can draw his own conclusion and
from which, doubtless, numerous CON
aicting conclusions are drawn, 1t is 4
big theme that obermer has built up
on and its said to have been couched
in telling language. Miss Roberts i
supported by Arthur Forrest Thur
low Bergen, Ann Warrington, Mary
Bertrand, Hallet Bosworth and Harry
Gibbs, each thorough artist The
scenes Of the piece are laid in Eng
land and Switzerland and exquisite
staging has won great praise for Mr..
Cort.

D. N. c. D. CLUBS BALL
4 FINE SUCCESS
ATHLETIC CLUB HALL BEAU
TIFULLY DECORATED FOR
FESTIVE OCCASION.

The dance given under the auspices
oi the young ladies' Of the d. NJ. c. d.
Club in the Athletic Club hall last
night was beautiful in all its appoint.
msnts The crowd was large, though
not too large for comfort II was q
leap year dance and this idea was car
ricd ont in all the details II was the
ladies who extended invitations TO
their gentlemen friends, and It was
the ladies who sought partners for
the various numbers on the program.
II took d little time for the gentle
men 20 become accustomer to this
change Of custom, but soon they
learned their lesson and sat meekiy
still until they were politely asked To
put their names down on the cards.
There was perriment in this, too, and
Il caused much amusement, and more
than that, II caused little cmbarrass-
ment, FOR some oi The girls found
themselves writing their own names
down on their own cards. Then
when the number came there would
be seurrying 10 find who il was that
Z
had been asked for the dance.
The decorations Of the hall we're
very fine, and appeared beautiful un-
der the many lights, Greenery was
entwined all about the walls and raft
ers, while iestoons OF red paper bells
hung from every available point. The
red and green eolors predominated
finely and gave an air OF richness to
the scene that was highly attractive.
Punch was served. The music was
excellent, and the only criticism was
thar the dances seemed all to short,
though there we're "a numbers on the
program and they gave everyone all
the dancing that the law allows for
one night The night. too, was beau
tifuL without any wind or rain to
spoil the pretty gowns and thus
everything conspired to make the
-. N. g, D. ball one long to bel
pleasantly remembered
The programs were Of exceptional
beautyathe outside covers having all
been painted BY hand
The prettiest features Of the ball
came as 4 complete surprise, Shortly
before II o'clock The lights were put
out, after an announcement had been
made oi what was coming, and all the
ladies gathered in one end Of the
hall From there they commenced
march about the hail. each lady car
rying a Japanese lantern on little
rod swung over her shoulder. The |
effect was indescribably pretty In
the darkened hall the lights shone |
with an effect that was more than
pretty, and the ladies marched in
beautiful figures about the room, fol-
lowing leaders who led in pretty con-
Violations, Following this each lady |
was given a tiny bell to attach to her
partners wrist, and these tinkled with
musical effect as the dances went on.
The D, NJ. C. D. girls won many |
congratulations for the beauty and
success of their leap year ball.

Proposes Broom Corn.

G. p. Money says that broom
corn could easily be made a pay
crop in this country. He says
among those raising it hereto
fore is r. A. Campbell; that Mr..
Campbell had several crops of it
and that it did fine. In this con
nection Mr.. Money also stated
that if Il sufficient amount was
produced here the mattress fac
tory, recently reorganized and in
which he has stock, could be pre-
vailed upon to add to its estab-
liShment a broom making outfit.
Broom corn is a staple crop in
Oklahoma and wherever tried it
has done fully as we'll in the Pan
handle. 1t brings a good price,
generally, and always finds a
ready market. With "a broom
factory here, giving a local mar
ket, the extra inducement thus
afforded should cause some of
our farmers to plant it.
The News would like to hear
from Mr.. Campbell on this sub
ject.

Heavy snow storm raging this
morning. Such was all The
News had in last week pertain
ing to the biggest snowfall of the
winter.
1t began showing Thursday
night Feb. 18th. 1t was a blind
ing, drifting snow and fell here
to about an average depth of six
inches. In town it was mostly
in drifts, in some places higher
than the fences. In the country
it lay more regular and did Il
world of good to the growing
wheat and also to the ground
generally. Nothing was suffer
ing for moisture, even prior to
this snow, but now the season,
by reason Of it and the rain and
sleet which preceded it, will car
ry us safely some distance into
March.
Not much church going Sun
day on account of the snow, and
sloppy all over town the early
part of the week on account of
its melting.
Tuesday we had a brisk wind
from the north; cold to those
who had business facing it, but
not freezing under foot.
Wednesday and yesterday, up
to time of going to press in the
evening, were nice days. About
all the snow has melted except
where banked up or in the can

PaIO Duro Park Bill.

That the Palo Duro Park may
secure the requisite appropria
ton at this session of Congress
through the exercise of a little
congressional log rolling is now
a possibility which holds forth
greater promise of success than
any other which has yet devel-
Oped in the campaign toward Sc
curing the passage of the park
bill. The following letter just re-
ceived by Secretary J. E. Num-,
of the Palo Duro Park commits
sion from Senator Bailey indi-
Gates the plan which may be fol-
lowed out in getting the appro-
priatiOn:
Il have received yours of Jan
uary 2lSt; and if congress passes
the bill establishing the Appala-
chian park. | think it reasona-
bly, certain that we can put the
Palo Duro Canyon Park PROPOSE
tion upon that bill as an amend
ment. There is grave question
in my mind about the power and
wisdom of the Federal govern
ment establishing parks except
upon the public lands of the Unit
ed States; but if one is to be eS
tablished anywhere, | shall
strongly insist upon establishing
the one which you people so.
much desire.
Very truly yours,
y. W. BAILEY.
The Palo Duro Park project is
much smaller proposition and
the likelihood that the sponsors
of the Appalachian bill would be
glad to include the Palo D"ro
project in the main bill in order
to secure the support of Texas
and Oklahoma senator's and rep
reSentatives is one that makes
the members of the Palo Duro
park commission here believe
that the Palo Duro National Park
will become Il certainty at this
