BY the waIlack Theatre Company, Next
Wednesday Evening.

Doubtless, without any exaggeration, the
Wallack Theatre Company, which has been
playing in the Grand Opera House, Butte,
the past two weeks, Is the best Dramatic
Company that has visited Montana. 1t has
no particular "Star," and does not rely on
one person to present all that Is worth listen.
ing to In the play, but Is a large, well-bal-
anced company, presenting even running
plays with every person in the company an
artistic. They will play here "Esneralda,"
one Of the greatest dramatic successes of the
times, which held the New York stage for
hundreds Of successive nights, which brings
out all the strength of the company, and In
which many Of the actors and actresses here
appearing were in the original cast which
made IL so pronounced a success in the East.
For instance, Miss Louise Dillon has played
Esmeralda over 800 times; Miss Kate Denim
Wilson, Mrs. Rogers, over 600 times; Chas.
B. Welies, Dave Hardy, over 800 times; Miss
Sadie Bigelow and Neva Desmo nd, over 200
times. .rh.. .-s
The Miner, in mentioning the presentation
in Butte, Wednesday evening, says: Last
night there was . large and well pleased au-
dience at the Opera House to witness the
performance Of "Esmeralda" by the wallack
company. The story of the play was given
In yesterdays issue, but In its brief form IL
did not and could not convey any idea of the
exquisite drama which was woven from 1t as
basis. The performance was complete and
finished, as Is all the work Of this most ex-
cellent company. From the rising Of the
curtain on the first act to its fall at the close,
the interest was sustained, and the actors
and actresses greeted with deserved ap-
plause. The play was well cast, and the par
ticular attention paid to detail in the mount
ings and accessories was noticeable"
Tickets for "Esmeralda" are now on sale
at Colemans. Our people should secure
seats early, as doubtless every one will be
taken for what will be the best performance
we have had.

Sale OF Grazing Lands.
Bozefnnn Chronicle.

The Northern Pacific Land Department,
on Thursday of last week, sold $500 acres OF
grazing lands to Alfred Meyers s. Bro, of
Livingston. The land Is located in the
Shields river district, about thirty miles
northeast from Rozeman. The Messrs.
Meyers have been raising cattle In this vi
cinity for the past nineteen years, and now
have over 5000 head on their range. The
land department reports very active in
quiry from stockmen for grazing lands in
Montana. There seems to be general dis
position among stockmen to become, so far
as possible, owners Of their ranges, so they
can properly protect the grass and preserve
the ranges from other stockmen.

UPPER MISSOURI IMPROVEMENTS.
A Strong Charge that Money Is Being uselsssIy
Frittered Away.
River Press (Benton) Aug. LIST.

sasoT rFeSS kDeRt0RD Aug. lss.
When the engineers, in charge of Capt.
Mcguire, first commenced work on the upper
river the appropriations were small, but the
work went on and was well done and the
appropriation judiciously expended. But
iatterly. as the appropriations are increased,
the expense Of prosecuting the work is in.
CREASED, and less good work actually done.
This season the engineers have thirty-fve
men on the river near Two Calf Island, who
have been employed in cutting few willows
and perhaps forty or fifty cords Of cotton
wood timber. The steamer Josephine is
used more as pleasure boat than for actual
service. She made one trip to Bismarck to
bring up timbers for the dredge boat, and
meeting With an accident, was laid up at
Bismarck for about month under big ex.
pense, the Helena bringing up the timbers
the Josephine went after. II would have
been cheaper to have sent the timbers up by
any OF the freight boats, and the trip was
practically useless. Now she has gone down
to take i've passengers when another boat
was In port ready to leave-another useless
expense. SO the appropriations for upper
river improvements are FILTERED away, and
we are long ways from the realization of
our desires to have distractions removed
and the river made navigabie for a few
months In the year

The big Blackfoot Dam .
Missouid Times, 9Th.

A gang oftwenty-fve men began work last
week on the new dam Of the Montana I'M
provement Company on the Big Blackfoot
river Profting by past experience, the
company propose to make this dam secure
beyond reasonable doubt, and provision
has been made for just twice the amount of
water that the old dam would support with
safety. IL will be 202 feet In length and 10
feet high. The old dam was 1872 feet In
length and 10 feet high. The approaches or
embankments of the new structure will be
10 feet high, instead Of 81, as on the old one.
Thus the new dam will accommodate vol
ume of water 2O2 feet across and 10 feet In
depth before the water will reach the plat
form at the gates. The idea of propelling
the machinery to be operated here by water
has been abandoned, ten feet head being
hardly sufficient, and instead, steam will be
used There Is always at saw mill more
than enough refuse material to furnish the
steam required. The new dam will be Of
similar construction to the old one.
