Ballroom Floor IS
Set On Springs
GRACE AND EQUILIBRIUM LENT
By EXPENSIVE ARRANGEMENT
OF SPOKANE HOTEL.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. PA ball
room floor set on springs, cffecting a
"live" footing for tedpsichorean ef-
fects, is being installed in the $4,000.
900 Davenport hotel being built by
Spokane capitalists. The ballroom on
springs is the last word IN building
construction, and is said to lend a
buoyancy and exhilaration to dancing
that is impossible on the ordinary
dead" floor. The floor is suspended
on resilient steel cables, made Of a
special steel, and the general princi.
pie is along the line Of the suspension
bridge. The floor is perfectly smooth
and rigid, but under the rhythmis mo.
tions of the dancers gradually adapts
itself to the movements and sways
slightly, but quite noticeably. with a
mild, dreamy ocean wave effect. The
"live" floor has been used slightly in
some parts of the east in private ball
rooms, but so far as known in Spo-
kane never on so large a scale as
planned at the Davenport hotel.

and many Of the couches and lounges
that, up to this time, have been artic-

sold. Most Of the departments in the
building are anxious to have them In
cluded in the sale and 1t looks like the
"rest cure" treatment at the North
Dakota capitol Is about to become a
thing Of the past.
This "rummage sale" is an inven-
ton of the new board or trustees of
public property, who feel that while
there is no use for the articles to be
sold, they should rather be sold for a
moderate sum to people that make use
of them than to either destroy them
or allow them to become useless in
storage.

Land Auctions
Arouse Interest

Hettinger,, N. D., Sept. 22.-When
the Hettinger Commercial club orig
mated the idea Of selling land at
public auction, that homeseekers and
land owners might be brought to-
gether, land agents eliminated. and
settlers induced to come to the Ret
finger country, it started something
That the idea has struck a popular
chord is evidenced not only by news
paper comment but in a more ma
terial way by the fact that the secre-
tary of the Hettinger Commercial
club is deluged with inquiries and
it has been necessary to employ a
stenographer who can devote the
entire time from now until the sale
answering the correspondence in re-
gard to the auction sale.
There are now about $50 quarter
sections Of land ready for listing so
that the homesteader who is at Het-
finger for the big auction sale of
land on October 10 and II will have
the widest possible selection.
The results thus far have been far
beyond the expectations of the COM
mercial club and the big advertising
campaign which the club has planned
is still to come.

Has Narrow Escape
IN Auto Collision
MAYORS AUTO AND BUGGY COL.
LlDE IN NORTH VALLEY
CITY.

What might have been a narrow
escape from death occurred Saturday
evening when the auto driven by
Mayor L. S. Platou collided with a
horse and buggy, driven at high
rate of speed, near North Valley City,
The Mayor, with his son Earring.
was driving to his farm, and had
reached a turn in the road just north
of town, when a buggy driven by An
drew Zonne, and driven at rapid rate
of speed struck the machine. The
collision came from the side, and the
horse plunged almost over the car, de-
the windshield, steering
gear, and damaged the tonneau to a
extent.
The Mayor, who was driving, was
badly bruised by the encounter, and
is stiff from slight strains.

PROPERLY SAT ON.

In a recent issue of the Tmes-Re-
cord a large amount of Improvement
work done in Litchville was credited
to Hastings, in complimenting the
town on its enterprise. The Litch'
vile Bulletin very properly sat down
on the r. r. for the mistake. In
apologizing for the error the Times
Record only wishes to say that had it
realized Litchville to be the town
where the improvements were made
it would have made no comment of
any kind. The progressiveness of
Litchville is too we'll known to make
the building of thousands of feet of
sidewalk, or the erection of hand
some garage anything to be particular
ly remarked upon.

capitol, on the 9th of September, but
which has been set over to Saturday,

The program itself we can only COM

greeted Us from the screen, and we
found the change refreshing. There
was nothing to be desired, either in
dramatic work, or subject.

has offered unusually excehent attrac-
lions between the films, in songs by
The Clarks and Mrs. Craswell. Last
night Mr.. Clark and his sister sang

from just behind the footlights, in
stead of the floor of the house. They
were heartily applauded.
One of the delightful features >of
Mrs. Craswell's song, "A Perfect Day"
was the organ accompaniment. The
soft tones of the pipe organ blended
beautifully with the singers rich con-
tralto, far better than could any
stringed instruments and the effect
was beyond criticism.
The close of the show saw heartily

ments. The walls and ceiling are har-
monious in coloring, with lounging
seat at one end, cheval glass, and
everything which might be needed
during the performance.
Between the, exits. we saw prepare
tons for fireplace, and were inform
ed that this would be installed within
q few days. When in place it is hop
ed that it will lend still more home
like effect to the theatre.
That the lighting of the theatre has
been improved, both in quantity and
in attractiveness was apparent at
once. Indirect lights replace the old
style, the bowls being moulded in the
form of cupids, and the finish old
ivory, to harmonic with the color
ing Of the upper walls and ceiling, and
the pillars on either side of the pro-
scenium
Looking toward the front of the
house, we found new and beautiful
stage setting, apparently built, Alad-
din like, since two nights before.
Electric foot and border lights made
it really" stage, while the bare
spots on either side had been replaced
by organ reeds, extending from the
edge Of the stage to the wall, above
the velvet curtains leading to the rear
exits.
Between the rear entrances and the
stage are two classic columns, sur
mounted by curved faces, typical Of
the Greek theatre.
The first notes of the overture;
sounded, the curtain rose, and the IA
miliar Rex orchestra was disclosed,
not in the pit before the curtain, but
on the stage behind the foot lights.
The effect was unique, and artistic.
The men wore Tuxedos, Miss He'd.
strom the violinist was dressed in
white, and against the rear wall, lend
ing an almost cathedral like effect,
with the stage framed in dark green
velvet, was the new pipe organ.
While not the largest pipe organ we
have seen. Insignificant in size, per-
haps, compared to that in the Mormon
Cathedral at Salt Lake City, we were
Immediately impressed with the good
taste Of the owners in making 1t har-
monte with the other stage fitting,
and the size Of the theatre.
We don't know very much about
pipe organs. There is little oppor.
tunity to hear them in North Dakota.
In fact, If we are not mistaken, this
is the first to be installed in North
Dakota play house.
But.
We were delighted with the
tone, the facile response to the organ

heart depressing chill when, lifting

That the summer season Of 1913 has
witnessed a more grotesque and bi-
zarre assortment of bathing costumes
than any season previous cannot for
minute be doubted. One brief glimpse
of the modes will serve to convince.
A group of mOdiSh bathing costumes
presents startling riot of color and a
most interesting adaptation of the
unique fashion features that have
dominated the seasons styles.
Navy blue taffeta is combined in
the bathing suit illustrated, with anne
thyst silk trimming for collar, cuffs
and straps down the front panel of
blouse and skirt. Diamond shaped fig
ures In brique red outlined with white
are a striking note on the silk trim
ming. a blue silk cap with fat crush
ed bow of blue and white striped silk
completes this costume.
A suit more conservative. but not less
decorative from a trimming standpoint,
ts Of navy blue talfeta with pin stripe
Of emerald green The collar and cuffs
Of this suit are comprised of black and
white ratine in a large broken plaid.
and the front of the costume is trim
med In panel effect with small green
crystal buttons
Gaps, bonnets, shoes and parasols, as
well as hand bags and corsage bou-
Quets of rubber flowers, are not the
least significant Of the details of the
bathing costume These accessories
each match the trimming I'm color.
Slippers for bathing are fashioned of
ribbed silk in bright colors and in two
toned effects. NisOred caps and sun
bonnets are among the unique fancies
for the beach headdress. A cap of bright
red silk has gay plaid silk facing
In visor and band Of the silk about
the crown. Over a bath cap Of Nell
rose silk is worn soft outing hat
shape, the lining of the plain rose silk
and the top Of crown and brim of Bull
