There is always unusual interest in
a Broadhurst play for the reason that

has been nothing but success 10 his
credit. and IL is the opinion OF the
theatrical profession that this latest
play is by all means the best which he
has yet produced. II will be given
with that careful attention 10 detail
and with the scenic equipment which
goes with all Broadhurst plays. and
the company which has been select
ed for the production is one Of the
best which has ever been gotten to-
gether. Every actor has been chosen
with especial intention OF having him
or her fit the part for which selected.

HIGH WAFER PHENOMENA
FOLLOWS ON WINTER Of
GREATEST OF SN0WFAllS

The Snowy March" will be the
name by which the month Just passed
will long be- remembered in the north
west. declares Professor n. Il. Simp-
son OF the government weather sta
uon in his monthly weather report.
Not only was il the snowiest March,
but the snowiest month Of the snow
lest season OF the 25 years of record
at the University of North Dakota.
Leading January by a tenth of an inch
of snowfall and having nearly twice
as much as any other March, 1t is
sweepstake class because Of the big
Thanksgiving storm Of that month.
Ushered in BY Cold.
March came in with intense cold
the minimum of 26 degrees for the
month falling on the first day, and it
reached its maximum temperature Of
4s degrees on the closing day. 1t was
not stormy month, though the re-
porting wind velocity of 25 miles per
hour was exceeded on the 10 of the
Fl days and snow fell on 12 days. The
wind and snow did not come together
as a rule and little drifting resulted.
The first rain of the season fell on
the next to the closing day of the
month and though little water fell,
the slow. warm drizzle and the high
temperature OF the day following
greatly reduced the snow cover and
filled the streams with the run-orf.
The snow cover of the Red river basin
averaged about one foot in depth Oh
the evening Of the 27th. varying from
a trace in the sheyenne region in the
southwest to ten feet in the woods Of
northern Minnesota.

April opens therefore with phe-
nomena familiar to residents Of the
valleys of northward flowing rivers.
The excess waters caused by warm
rain and high temperatures in the
headwaters Of the basin are being re-
tarded in lower and northern por-
tions of the main stream by the heavy
ice cover which Is yet unbroken. Such
conditions tend to prolong high water
throughout the main portion of the
valley.
Floods may occur in such rivers.

ROOSEVELT IS

Washington, April 5.-Henry ]. Al
len, the Kansas progressive party
leader, who is here after visit ia

will not permit the progressive party
to nominate him in Chicago on June
just for the purpose of putting him
up, to the. republican party as a threat.
-. Colonel Roosevelt has not depart
ed and believe he will not depart
from the statement he made at Trini-
dad" Mr.. Ailen said. HE is not q
candidate. He. knows the burdens of
the. presidential office and dare say
that the thought Of these burdens is
not attractive to him. But Colonel
Roosevelt takes. serious view OF the
present international situation. He re-
alizes that in whatever program IL
adopted by the opposition to President
Wilson he will be an influential figure.
Colonel Roosevelt's refusal to al
low hts name to be used in any pri-
macy thus far is the logical express
sion Of the plain fact that he 10 not q
candidate for the presidency. It 10 not
due to any political method. It IL my
belief he will not become candidate

Will not allow the progressives to uss

London, April 4.-Lady Ralph Pag-
ct. notable Florence Nightingale of
the war, has just returned home from
Serbia. When the Bulgarians captured
Uskub, where her British hospital
was situated, she refused to leave and
offered her services to the wounded
men among the invaders. With rare
self-control she has kept her work of
mercy from taking on the slightest
political color, denying the stories cir
culated by the Serbians that she had
been treated with indignity by the
Bulgarians. denying also the reports
sent out by the Bulgarians casting re-
Elections upon the Serbs. With ample
opportunity to leave the country be-
fore the army of Gar Ferdinand had
arrived. she preferred to remain be-
hind. and she came home only be-
cause the Balkan campaign was fin
tshed and her services are no longer
necessary.
A woman Of delicate health and re-
firing disposition. Lady (Ralph) Pag-
ct would probably have been the last

FINANCES OF
CITY TAKEN UP
Statistical Report Made by
Prof. Henry Shows Forks
in Good Light.

The financial standing of the city of
Grand Forks was the interesting sub
ject discussed at the regular bi-week-
ly dinner of the Commercial club Civ
en- last evening under the auspices Of
the university civics league.
Professor J. N. Henry. instructor Of
the accounting and bookkeeping de-
partment of the model high school Of
the university, gave statistical re-
port of the city's expenditures and
tax assessments since 1888. telling Of
the financial condition during the va
rious periods Of advancement along
reconstruction lines since that time.
The bonded Indebtedness of Grand
Forks with the per capita rate was
also clearly defined, and By the use Of
chart, the exact conditions that
have existed during the past 30 Years
was explained. The condition at the
present time appeared, very favorab Bile.
although the bonded Indebtedness was
admittedly large.
General Discussion Held. II.
Following the report by Mr. Henry,
general discussion was held, and the
members of the Commercial club gave
their opinions as to the methods Of
the city in handling it's finances and
whore possible improvements could be
made to speedily lift the municipality
debt.
Secretary Graves compared the con-
ditions of the city Of Grand Forks
with those of nther cities Of the same
size. and it was found that the bond
ed Indebtedness per capita of this
city was not unusual. and that the
majority of other cities were even
more heavily burdened and have not
the improvements that Grand Forks
has to show fer the money that has
been spent.
Other members Of the Commercial
club, together with City Auditor Will
liam Alexander discussed the munici-
pality'o financial condition and the
methods used by the executives to
clear up the debts. Although some
comment was made on few Of the
methods of handling the funds, it ap-
peared to be the general opinion that
Grand Fork: had much to show for
the money expended, ard that consid-
lering the fact that public improve
ments have been many during the
period named, the Indebtedness was
as low as could be expected.
