The presentation of Robin Hood on
Saturday evening by the Bostonians
closed the engagement here of that ex-
cellent organization. The audience in
attendance was perhaps the largest the
house has ever held, considering the
advanced prices charged. desirable
standing room being at a premium. The
opera was given In the usual spirited
style of this company, and 1t was re-
ceived with the greatest kind OF en-
thusiasm. The management of the COM
pany was so greatly impressed with the
flattering reception that dates for next
year, about this time, were made be-
fore the engagement closed. There Will
be a number of changes in the per-
sonnet of the Bostonians before the
commencing of next season. Eugene
Cowles, the famous basso. and Jennie
Vowley will join forces with Alice
Nelson, who blossoms out as star in
one of Victor Herbert's new operas.
How Cowles is TO be replaced In the
Bostonians is a hard proposition that
the management alone can cope with.
Helen Bertram will be the soprano in
place of Alice Nelson.

TO BROADEN THE GAUGE.
Eighty Miles of Hans on The Great Fails
and Canada sold.


Great Falls. Feb. 3.-W. d. Barclay,
genral manager of the Great Falls d
Canada railway, was in the city yes
terday in consultation with members
of the Business Mems association and
during his visit he stated that his road
had just completed deal by which IL
had sold the rails on 50 miles of its
track and four Of its locomotives to the
Alaska Transportation company. This
latter company is building and expects
to have finished by the Isl of next Sep
tember road from Glenora To Teslln
lake in the Stickeen river country, and
to the south of the Klondike. The rails
which have been sold 1t is thought, will
be taken from the Dunmore branch OF
the Great Falls K Canada, as IL was
from that part that about 80 miles OF
rails were sold some time ago To
Heinze the smelter operator, Tor use
in the Trail creek country.
The above news will be received IN
this city with much favor for the rea-
son that the sale is directly in line with
the policy of the road. which has Tor
several years been considering the
proposition 10 broad gauge its tracks.
When the president OF the road, Sir
Andrew Gait, went to England the last
time il was currently reported that
one of his errands was to consult the
principal stock and bondholders about
this project and this last sale would
indicate that the persons consulted had
given Il favorable answer.
Messrs Paris Gibson and ". q. Con-
rad were seen this afternoon. and each
said that the sale looked much like a
Fastening of the Improvement, ana
that it was a favorable omen To the
town The latter in speaking of the
matter and of Mr.. Barclays visit said
that he understood the sale was fact.
He added that the managers Of the
road believed that much traffic tending
toward the klondike would pass over
his road and hence through this city.
Asked about the reported discoveries
on HAY river Mr.. Conrad said that he
had heard nothing further than what
was contained in tile dispatches, but
he had no doubt that gola was there.
Mr.. Barclay. with whom he had talked
on the subject, had no further infor-
nation. There MAS gold in that coun-
