With one of the most brilliant en-
tertainments ever given in the Capital,
the Presidents birthday ball last Tues
day night, we'll in the past as Wash
ington seasons go, there looms in the
Immediate future two other scarcely
less brilliant affairs, but of contrast
ing atmosphera-the Junior Leagues
unique cabaret ball and the Arts Club
Bal Boheme. The something new
ball" of the Junior League girls, who
annual grow more interesting in their
programs. will occupy the early and
late hours of Friday night, at the
Mayfower, and the following Tuesday,
February 13. the Bal Boheme, which
this year assumes the guise of genu-
the circus, will take place at the Will
bard. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Dali
are patronesses for both events, be-
sides giving their names and lending
their charming presence to many other
important affairs.
The Army Navy reception at the
White House Thursday night can
scarcely hope to rival in interest the
reception of last Thursday, for the
splendid goodwill and atmosphere
which pervaded the officials recep-
don still furnishes the main topic
wherever one goes. But at the Army
Navy reception one will meet the
members of the military affairs and
naval affairs of the Senate and House,
such distinguished worldwide heroes
~ Gen. Pershing, and others of the
military and naval circle. and, Of
course, the Secretaries and Assistant
Secretaries of those branches of serv-
ice and their families and others.
What with handsome uniforms and
decorations the assembly almost equals
In brilliancy the diplomatic reception
which was given earlier in the season.
Tuesday night the Speaker and Mrs.
Rainey will held the chief places at
the annual state dinner in their honor,
leaving the Thursday night reception
to bring the schedule of state enter
tAinments to close.
Besides several other important en-
fragments for Tuesday, Mrs. Roose-
Telt will be the guest at luncheon of
drs. Homer S. Cummings, at her
then there is the Westminster Choir,
tor which Mrs. Roosevelt is a patron
oss, as she is also. for a full half
dozen conferences on humanitarian
themes that will be in progress all
week.
For long Washington struggled to
establish an Arts Club which would

only in this district, but other parts
lof the county, are wondering as to
who is asking that a bit Of road
be built in district One, as planned
by the county commissioners. We
have not heard of anyone, aside
from the chairman of the county
commissioners who has any par
tlcular desire for the building Of the
road in question. Who are they, if
any, that want to squander gas tax
money so badly that they are
willing to have funds i'm District
No. Incorporated? Will some
one tell us who they are?"
The resolution which Immediately
followed announcement of Commits
sioner CANDLES plan, and was
passed in opposition to the project,
follows:
Resolution Hits Plan
whereas, it is the uniform rule
in Okanogan county to provide the
road money received from the gas
tax to each commissioners district
according to the assessed valuation
OF the property in said county, and
further it is the uniform practice
Of the county commissioners Of said
county to eXpend the monies so al
located on the roads in each COM
missioners district.
And Whereas there is available
at the present time IN commission
| er'S district No. 2, money available
| for expenditures for road purposes,
in the sum OF $4,000.
And whereas, the commissioner
in district No. is making surveys
and taking other necessary steps TO
expend said money beyond the
boundaries of his said district, not
Withstanding it is in violation of
the established custom as aforesaid
and in violation of the agreement
and understanding of the other
commissioners of said county, and
in making said preparations a reso-
luton has been passed allocating
said money to roads in the vicinity
of the town of Nespelem, which is
far beyond the boundaries of said
Second district and is of no benefit
to the people of said district No. 2.
''The other two commissioners of
said county adhere to said word and
agreement by making expenditures
of allocated funds in their respec-
tvs districts.
