BITTER ROOT RESERVE.


Topic Discussed Before Geographic
Society by Mr.. GOOde.
Mr. Richard w. Goode Of the United
States geological survey delivered an ad-
dress in the lecture room of Columbian
University to the members of the National
Geographic Society. He took as his sub
ject THE Bitter Root Forest Reserve"
and handled it in mastery manner
Tho reserve discussed is one of those
made about the close of the Cleveland adj
ministration, which has caused much talk
and criticism. 1t comprises one of the most
picturesque portions of the Rocky noun
tain region, including the main crest of the
great range. with contiguous portions of
Montana and Idaho Originally the tract
was we'll wooded with pine, fir, spruce,
hemlock, larch and other coniferous trees,
and the forests were favorite haunts of
large game animals, including elk moose
deer and bear with the mountain goat and
the big-horn toward the rocky submits
The abundant game attracted spOrtsmen
and pot-hunters. followed, as usual, by for
est fires, by miners. and in the operations
of the large mining companies immense
quantities of the remaining timber were
consumed.
The principal reason for making this re-
serve is to secure reforesting, and thus re-
cover the primeval conditions.

Splendid Success Of Warrington
Lodge Benefit.


From O'Clock until after 9 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon it was almost impossible
to gain access to the Columbia Theater so
great was the crowd attending the benefit
given Washington Lodge, No. Is, B. p. o.
Elks. The program was one of the most
elaborate ever arranged by the local lodge
The cast was composed of the principal
talent engaged in this city this week, while
many came from Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York to lend assistance in making
the entertainment a success, and such 1t
was. Despite the great length Of the pro-
gram. 1t was so diversified that the audi
ence did not appear to tire in the least, and
each succeeding number was received with
applause.
Williams and Walker, the eccentric COL
ored comedians, who were at the Grand
Opera House last week, headed the pro-
gram, and started the ball of applause to
rolling. They were followed by Helene
Mora, Charles r. Sweet, Mcmahon and
King, Sam ]. Adams, Hyberta Prime Marie
Stuart and Remington and Hines, and these
features made up the first part of the per-
Torrance.
Mr.. Thomas w. Keene and Mr. Charles B.
Hanford opened the second part with a
scene from Julius Caesar" Rose Suther-
land danced herself into the hearts Of the
audience, and Waldo Whipple unused The
Althea Sisters and Thomas ]. Ryan and
Mary Richield gained popularity with their
entrance. As a finale there was a clever
presentation of Charles Palmer's adapta-
ton of Alphonse Daudet's story, '.IS71," in
which Edward ]. Walsh, John J. Nolan,
Alice Irwin and A. T. Seaman appeared to
advantage.

The De home Letter.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The country has been made aware that
the plan of autonomy in Cuba was a farce
instituted by Spain for the purpose of
binding the eyes of the United States and
bribing the officers of the energetic Cuban
army. The country at large looked upon
the talked-of reciprocity treaty another
phase of the farce. Therefore there is little
surprise as to these matters aroused by
the letter of the late Spanish minister As
to his insulting remarks concerning our
President, the press has been eloquent, but
only few papers, among these The Wash
ington Star. have forcibly touched upon the
other points of this now famous letter.
Certainly the dignity of the administra-
ton would prevent action concerning the
insults to itself, other than the prompt dis
missal Of the offender. which ought to have
been the immediate result. AS to the in
suit to the United States as a country we
have long been aware of Span's conception
of us, and have. many Of us, felt that we
could hardly blame her for that concep-
ton, but everything has been yelled by the
diplomatic haze of friendly relations.
Now, SPANS opinion has been expressed
by Spain's envoy in such manner as to
make it impossible to shut our eyes to it,
Must the conditions which led to the incep-
ton of that opinion continue to exist?
Shall our pleasant relations" continue to
invite Spanish war vessel to enter any
one of our ports at pleasure-to pass be-
yond range of our coast defenses and sail
| up let us say, to the barber of New York
city?
Should an emeute occur in the streets of
Havana and the interference of a ship of
war become necessary, and should Spain
with the Viscagia lying at anchor in the
waters of New York harbor, declare such
an interference an act of war what shall
prevent the friendly destruction of the
city of New York? H. H. NJ

Incidents Related of Experiences in
the KlOndike Country.
At Hamlne NJ. E. Church, corner 9th and
streets, last night there was a lecture
under the auspices of the Epworth League
by Captain Greenup, who has just re-
turned from the Klondike gold fields. There
was a large attendance. Captain Greenup
interested his audience with a number of
anecdotes illustrating the life and customs
OF the miners among whom he had been
for a number of years. He spoke of the
dangers incident upon a trip to the Klon-
dixie, especially in crossing the various
passes He advised against forming part
nerships along the route, for he says, there
are sharpers always on the lookout for the
unwary.
In speaking of the wealth that he be-
ieved to exist in the Alaskan gold fields
he said: No dreamer can exaggerate the
wealth of that country; untold millions lie
frozen in the bowels of it's mines await
ing the pick of the miner who is willing
to brave the fearful suffering and expos
ure in order to obtain it. Compared with
the wealth of the Alaskan gold fields the
aggregated millions of our Four Hundred
dwindle into insignifcance. Alaska is the
Eldorado of the nineteenth century"
