Dallas, Texas. Thursday March 13, 1919 Set up at 9 A.M in central Oklahoma. At Breakfast at 8 we crossed the Canadian river which comprises one of the Platte, a wide shallow expanse with little water and much drifted sand. The strata are all dipping gently, and the depressed areas have a thin soil with the ground covered with loose flat rocks. South of Pine Bluff the strata are more strongly folded. The settlements are few and very small, and all in cheap and squalid. Evidently it is not the best farming country. Although somewhat warmer here the vegetation is not further along than in Illinois. The railways the railway goes through has a thin wide expanse of flat lands once forested, with very low mountains to the east. Brick houses are rare in the towns, usually one or two stories high, and three 3 high are rare. This the beginnings of civilizing the wilderness. Set to Dallas on time at 2:05 P.M. Could not get a room at the Adolphus, head quarters for the A. A. P.S.. The only Sidney Powers took a room at the Oriental Hotel. At 2:45 we were at the meeting and soon got into the discussion on the Band, but the appended discussion
