the animal which God has provided
and adapted for the special conditions
which exist. The greater the degree
Of cold the better he thrives. Last win
ter party of reindeer hauling nine
sleds made days journey with the
temperature at 73 degrees below zero.
A deer with 200 pounds on the sled can
travel up and down the mountains and
over the plains from one end of Alaska
TO the other, living off the country
where he travels. Last season an ex-
petition of nine deer drawing nine
sleds was made through Alaska last
ing during the four winter months and
making a total distance of 1000 miles.
during which the deer We're turned out
at night after days work to find their
own provision, which is the native moss
Caledonia rangiferina) covering all that
region.
The great mining interests of central
Alaska cannot realize its fullest devel-
opment until the reindeer are intro
duced in sufficient numbers TO do the
work of supplying the mines with pro-
visions and freight and giving the miner
speedy communication with the outside
world 1t now takes from so to SO days
to carry the mail between Juneau and
Circle City. With the establishment of
relay stations ut suitable distances, REIN
deer will carry the same mail in four or
five days. The reindeer is equally inn
portant to the prospector. Prospecting
at a distance from the base Of supplies
is now impossible. The prospactor can
go only so far as his supply of proyis-
ions, blankets and tools, which he car
ries on his own shoulders, will last him.
then he must return for a fresh supply.
With ten head of reindeer packing 100
pounds each fmaking half ton of sup
plies}, he can be gone for months, pane-
trating regions hundreds of miles dis
tant his deer meanwhile grazing where
ever night finds him and them.
With Alaska fully stocked with this
valuable animal the hardy Eskimo and
the enterprising American will develop
grazing and mining industries that will
amount to $50.000,0O0 annually, and all
this in regions where such industries
are now only developed sufficiently to
show their great possibilities.

necessary evils. What they offer us Is
medicine Hauptmann offers us drama
and not physic; poetry, not pathology.
Action upon the stage" Hauptmann
has said. will, | think, give way 10
the analysis of character and to
the exhaustive consideration of the
motives which prompt men to act. Pas
sion does not move at such headlong
speed as in Shakespeare's day, so that
we present not the actions themselves,
but the psychological states that cause
them
This is a very pretty theory: but in
practice ii would never result in an act
ing drama. Fortunately. Hauptmann
has not carried this theory into prac-
tice, although he may think that he
has. His plays are analytical. but they
also have action, the throb of poetry
and the warm glow of passion. He is
not d .decandenf' dramatist. lie Is
no more To be classed with Ibsen or
Maeterlinck than Goethe is. He is the
greatest figure in German literature
to-day He is the one living poet who
is also a born writer of plays. the one
living master of realism who Is Also "a
master If idealism.

period the line will be completed be-
tween Portland and San Francisco:
making quick connection from all points
in Montana to all points in Washing
ton, Oregon and California, as far south
as San Diego.
UTAH CONNECTION
AT the same time lines are being built
north from Utah and during Inc year
1898 will probably reach Market Lake,
Idaho, on the Oregon Short Line rail-
read, leaving then only ii gap 10 be
completed between Market Lake and

tends 10 Salt Lake and covers the state
Of Utah. and which will enable the pe9-
pie of Utah to talk To Portland and san
Francisco and San Diego and interme-
date points by way of Montana lines.
IDAHO SYSTEM.
The Idaho system Is also being de.
Aeloped and il is intended 10 extend
the lines from the Occur u Alene sys-
.em, with Wallace as a central point, 10
the Central Idaho system with Boise
as central point making direct con-
nection with the balance OF the system
at Wallace. SO that Montana or other
points will be able to talk direct 10 any
point in Idaho.
This enormous undertaking was orig
inaily planned before the beginning oil
the work in 1893 and has been steadily
carried forward until now the con-

Gustav Kobbe in the December Forum.
Gerhart Hauptmann possesses two
qualities rarely combined in one au-
thor. AS subtle as Ibsen in the analy-
sis of character. as frank as lola in
placing the brutality of life before us,
Hauptmann nevertheless introduces
into nearly every one Of his dramas
some motif so POLITICALLY conceived as at
once to impress us with the fact that
we have in him both a realist and an
idealist
Hauptmann, like the majority of
modern German playwrights, has paid
his tribute to Ibsen: but it is his chief
claim to distinction that, with that tri-
butte, he bought his freedom. Relying
solely on his own genius, he has be-
come perhaps the most original Gre
ator in the dramatic world since Goe-
the. In his very first play, 'Por Son
nenaufgang," t"Befere 5unrise'9, he
puts into the lips of one of his char
acters the following opinion of lola and
Ibsen: They are not poets, they are

/ The enterprise of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone company is begin
ming to show to the people of Montana
steady purpose of making Montana
part of a very large telephone sys-
tenn. Beginning with the year 1898, be-
fore the panic times, this company laid
it's plans for the beginning of a system
of long distance lines, which were not
only TO connect up all of the cities and
towns of the state, but We're to ulti-
mately reach into other states and
finally to become a part of the great
telephone system of the United States,
reaching every city, town and hamlet
and with perhaps further extensions into
our neighboring countries on the north
and SOUTH Through the discouraging
period of the panic and the following
years of dull times this work has been
continued as originally laid out until
now a greater part of the state of Mon
tana is covered and the year 1898 prom
ises to see extensions of greater magni-
tude than any year heretofore.
PRESENT LINES.
/ About 700miles of lines are completed
at present, extending from Livingston
on the east to Missoula on the west.
thence to points in the Bitter Root val
ley. and from Great Falls on the north,
where an operating arrangement with
the Lewistown (. Great Falls Telephone
company enables continuous CONVERSE
ton to Neihart, Lewistewn and points
in Fergus county, to Butte and Ana
conda on the south, With stations in all
intermediate towns.
LAID OUT FOR 1885
This fall line has been built from
Butte to the town of Parrot ia Madison
county, and as soon as the weather will
permit, work Will be taken up and the
line extended to Twin Bridges Sheri-
dan and Virginia City, and a branch
built from Twin Bridges over to Dillon,
there connecting with the line now
standing between Dillon. Argenta and
Bannack, this will probably complete
the extension south for 1898
On the north it is contemplated build
ing a line from Great Falls into the Au-
gusta and Choteau country. on the east
line is under consideration from Liv-
ington to Billings, and from Livingston
to Cinnihar; and o nthe west plans are
completed for line from Mssoula to
