THINKS
IT REAL WINTER
Is Deeply Impressed With
Show at PrOCtor's.

We'll ~ Won want to know whS
winter looks like just take a trip 10
P%roctor's. They've got an act down
there called THE Mozarts,' that
can't be beat for real winter time.
The scene opens in a shoe coboler )
sbop-the fellow is fixing up some
shoes and sings a bully good song
while he's at It, then he falls 10
sIeeD-gets dopey you know-and
dreams about his one best bet, in h
somes and dances IN wooden shoeS
. with a skipping rope-me lot rope
when / get homeland get pussy Dut
saws he was fine. Then he wakes up
and postman brings a card teliIHs
him to meet her and go snow shoe-
ing. Here's where the winter part
comes in. Curtain goes up on one
of the peachiest snow scenes 1 ever
saw. 1t made you think OF over
coats-then they come In on snow
shoes and dressed real Canadian
fashion-and say you ought to see
what they can do on those SHOES
It's one dandy act all right. II you
want to keep cool, why come on and
get busy at PrOctor's.
The Blounts, two men, are some
jokers all rfght-wish l could re-
member some to spring a few-but
somehow good things never last
say did you ever try to remember a
daffy dill? Well about the Blounts
they sing too, but I'd rather hear
them talk.
Phoebe Snow (whom we all
know, dressed all IN white, got the
bead on the whole bunch Of us. We
all thought she was q colored lady,
until she peeled of a glove, and
showed US she was a sure enough
white Iady-Phoebe has got some
good songs all right, and her
"Mister johnson, Good Night, is the
best l aver heard. She sure made a
hit when she came out in her harem
skirt-sayl They amt so awful.
Phoebe looked mighty classy In 1t.
The sketch was called, "A Timely
Awakening" with Carlton Mays
players. It's one of them love sick,
mushy, candy and preserves kind
the kind the girls like-you know
makes a fellow feel like going I'M
der the seat if he's got his only with
him, or get in q dar corner. Any
how it was a dandy piece Of acting
and the audience was tfckled to
death with It. It's a bout a fellow
that married an innocent country
girl and while he's having the time
of hsi life leaving wifev at home
she things he's working hard. He
goes to sleep dreams his herJer "a ,
is onto his tricks and knows a thing
or two herself. When he wakes up
he turns over a new leaf, and prom
ises his surprised wiley to be a gOod
boy.
The Four Musical Maids is a, very
classy act-the girls sure know how
to play. And one of them sings
some very high class stuff, and I
| want to tell you right here that l
know high class stuff from rag time
too. Another one plays a violin
solo in a nifty way and ge she was a
pretty girl. Another plays a violin
only you put 1t on the floor.
There was two shows at Proctor's
this afternoon and they are some
shows. l stayed and saw both of
them-who says 1 amt or my job.
So long.

This was decided success, for the
children were so enthusiastic. The az
fair took place in the country, but l
do not think city back yard or
park would fall short of the require
ments. OF course, all depends upon
the weather, foY this party requires
snow and frozen pond, If possible.
The hours were from five to eight,
and it was quite dark when the gay
youngsters assembled. The mothers
had been instructed to dress the little
guests, who were from ten to fourteen,
very warmly with sweaters and NIT
tens. Japanese lanterns were strung
all over the lawn and twinkled bright
ly in the darkness; then there were
huge bonfires built along the edge OF
the pond with caretakers to watch for
sparks. There were skating races,
running races, tobogganing and merry
game of Hare and Hounds, with red
confetti for scent" The last stunt
was storming snow fort, the children
being divided into two sides, white
men and Indians" After this excite
ment they were called in to supper
consisting of piping hot oyster soup,
hot buttered crackers, olives, turkey
sandwiches, then ice cream In shape

A January Luncheon.

This pretty luncheon was hastily ar

going away, and by accident the
hostess learned the day set for her
entertainment was also her friends
birthday. AS the guests were all very

the opportunity to show some atten-

contributed small sum with which
the hostess purchased charming gar

of red roses. On the card was writ

No gems save garnetS should be worn;
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.
The flower for the month is the

huge bunch of them in a red Bohemian

Captain Bakers Boats.

cept one of these boats are propelled
by gasoline engines. The newest OF
the fleet is the Expansion, built at
Bismarck last spring and said to be
the lightest draft boat ever put upon
the Missouri river. 1t is 124 feet Z
inches long, 81 feet inches beam
and draws ten inches of water light
On draft Of three feet it carries $50
tons, and loaded to its capacity it will
carry three hundred tons. The Ex-
pansion is propelled by 60-horsepow-
er gasoline engine and travels four
and one-half miles an hour against
the current Captain Bakers other
boats are the Frayne, the Deapolis,
the Washburn, the o. K and the Bis
marck.
West of Bismarck the railroads
touch the Missouri Valley in only a
few places, and the farmers, instead
of hauling their grain inland to the
railroads, haul it to the river for ship
ment by boat. At each of the land
ings Captain Baker has small ele-
vator, where the grain Is stored until
shipment Then, when a boat comes
along, the grain is loaded in bulk and
carried down to Bismarck, where it is
unloaded by movable hoist into the
elevator at the top of the bank and
from that into the cars. The boats
now run up the Missouri river as far
as the mouth Of the Milk river in
Montana and up the Yellowstone to
Glendive, Mont. On the up trips the
boats carry all kinds of merchandise,
coal, lumber, machinery and other
supplies to the farmers and the mer-
chants. Downstream, before the grain
movement begins, they carry live
stock, wool, hides, hay and other farm
products.
Out of the last appropriation for the
Missouri river, $S2,50O was set aside
for work at Bismarck and other
points up to Fort Benton, one item OF
which is $4,000 to clear rocks from
the channel SO that boats may get to
Fort Benton without danger.
