"In Wyoming," that popnlar drama of western ranch life on the frontier will be seen here in the near future, Dealing in a breeiy style with the stirring events at the Dalbyjnch in the Valley of the Big Horn, a"thwarU cd attempt at cattle rustling ..-with a pleasing comedy vein and delightful romance running through it, the story of "lit Wyoming" possesses a fasci nation difficult to tist,. It is replete with stirring scenes and tense situa tions'and always holds the closest in terest from start to finish. .... Footballista i Probably never before has "the football "fever" been at a higher de gree in Astoria than during the pres ent winter season. The fact that in the Hts School has turned out a successful team perhaps has some thing to do -with it, and the entbu siatn has sprea dthrough all the grammar grades. Some of the young er boys have organised elevens and spend their spare hours in studying the rules of the game and in reading the sporting pages of the daily pa pers. Mothers who, never heard much of football games before now are in doubt whether to be proud of their growing sons when they talk of their weight, stripped, and of their ability to tackle low, or to look upon the whole thing with horror. Some yonng men who never thought much of going to college now are figuring night and day on how best to get there, with the great and laudabb ambition of "making" the college eleven. There's no doubt that young er Astorian has the football fever good and hard. Exepnse Account Filed J. W.'

FORT WORTH, Texas. Dec 18- It is going to be a bigger job than I at first thought? I hope I make a success of it I never did make success of anything else."
