SEES TWO-BIT WOOL.
I'll. III. Nelson is Confident that the
Price Will Reach That Limit
Next Season.

at may seem an impossible dream in
Montana that there will he 25 cent wool
within year." said Ell. FL. Nelson, the
Cascade sheepman, who was in the city
yesterday, but it is neither impossible
nor improbable. and / think it. is safe to
say that as sure as we are here now, there
will be some two-bit clips sold in the
state next season, if che wool is OF good
quality, and there is no reason for be-
lieving that it won't be.
"Not all the wool will sell for % cents
to be sure; but the top price will reach
that, I believe, and the average, if the
staple is good, will be better than last
year. It will be a good year for the
sheepmen if nothing unfortunate hap

IN ALASKA.
The Country There Will Be Put
Under Military Control.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The president
has created military. department, con-
sisting of the territory of Alaska, and
assigned Col George H Randall, Eighth
United States infantry, to command.
Randall: is on duty with his regiment in
Alaska on January 10.
1t was stated at the war department.
that Col. Randall would be given com
mand as brigadier general of volunteers,
in order that he may have sufficient rank
for the new post. The action of the de
partment in this matter is tantamount
to the establishment of complete mill
tary government in Alaska, especially as
to the northern portion. The matter has
been under consideration for long sine.
There is no disposition to reflect in any
way on the officials Of the territorial gov
ernment, but the civil machinery, which
is said to be totally inadequate, could
not be strengthened and enlarged with

heavy immigration into the Cape Nome
district from the world at large, the
Klondike appears to be emptying its
population upon those golden shores and
naturally there is danger of an outbreak
of lawlessness and disorder among the
adventurous spirits attracted to the
mines. The war department has not yet
fixed upon the number of troops to be
assigned to the new department.
\ Col. Randall has had experience in
that quarter and will be allowed to ex.
ercise his iudgmentiin the matter. 1t is
believed here, however, that a large force
will not be necessary, as the miners il

Gilmore Released.

Washington, Ian. 6.-Oficial contirma-
ton has come from both General Otis
and Admiral Watson, Oh the release of
the American prisoners who have been
held by the F'ilipinos for many months
Otis dispatch reads as follows:

morrow. Lieut.. Gilmore IS among the

That of Watson follows.
"Manila, Jan. 6. Coils. Hare and
Howitz have recaptured all American
prisoners, including Gilmore, and they
are now at Vigan.'-

The British Still Hold Ladysmith

when the Beers, ousted from their foot
hold IN the side of the works, suspended
their as, auit at night fall. England has
I$alken heart.
The situation. however, is worse. The
beleaguered force must have expended
large amount of ammunition wnic" an
rot be replenished, and must have lost
a humber Of officers and men, which is
counter balanced, SO far as the garrison
is concerned, by the greater loss OF the
Beers. Gen White still needs relief and
the difffculties confronting Gen., Butler
are as great as before.
The formers unvarnished statements
read and re read, tell how hard the town
was pushed and how nearly his force OF
5000 men was overrowered,
IcafTbe greatest concern for Gen. White
is his supply of ammunition, supply
which was vaguely described as "plenty.'
His artillery then had 300 rounds per gun
Some of the batteries have been in action
frequently since then, and all were prob
ably engaged last Saturday. His stock
o, shells consequently must be low anc
this will ma il difficult for Gen. White
to co operate in a movement by Gen
Butler. Full rations are still served a

tobacco.
1t is understood that the war office ha
received some figures of the casualties il
the Saturday attack upon Ladysmith
but not the list itself. These have no
yet been made public.

the lines during the fierce fighting of
early last summer. He disappeared
completely and no trace of his body was
ever found. 1t is gathered from Otis re-
port that the released men have been

to Dagupan, at the northern extremity
of the railroad and about a days journey
from Manila.

UNTIMFLY OPPOSITION.
Federal Storage of OfWaters Almost
a Reality. But Western Dis
sensiOns Tend to Kill the
Proposition.
The West Should Stand United.


Opposition has been made to the fed
eral storage proposition on the ground |
that nothing has yet been accomplished !
along these lines although efforts have
been made for years, and therefore, it is
argued, the project might as well be
abandoned Attention has been called
to Ex-Governor McCords statement
that Congress last winter came very near
to appropriating s250,000, to begin work
upon a nrtional system of irrigation for
the arid west,. and that the leaders
agreed with Senators Warren and Car
ter that at least that SUM should be ap
propriated by the present Congress, if
they would then consent to let the mat
ter go over. Therein, it is stated, is the
measure of what can be expected for
federal irrigation construction by the
present Congress- Two hundred odd
thousand dollars apportioned among the
arid states and territories would make
sum for each SO paltcy as to amount to
naught, and the citizen of today would
have to live to be hundred before he
could see any appreciable results from
government irrigation development.
This entire position is certainly errone-
Gus and misiead ng. The small appro-
priation asked last year was not intended
to be apportioned am ng the States in
terested in irrigation. 1t was for the ex-
press purpose OF building one or two
storage reservoirs This was to be the
beginning of policy which should in
clude the complete survey OF all the arid
: region and the building of storage reser-
l voirs by direct and continuing appropria-
every state and territory. Rome
was not built in a day, and west
ern legislators did not expect Congress
! to build at once a hundred storage res
, ervoirs, but this appropriation would
have been beginning. AS Senator
+ Carter said Let it be stinctly under
stood that this is the entering wedge O
J, a new policy, etc" 1t is not expected o
: the present Congress that it will by an,
| favorable possibility make an appropria
e ton of $l00000000 or even enough
+ money to build a single reservoir in eacl
e arid state, but if it appropriates fund
for one reservoir and for complete sur
n veys in other states, the hopes of the peo
pie who have been arguing federal stor
!, age will be realized. This would be tn
! entering wedge and nothing could pre-
vent its widening and broadening tn
opening. Wyoming is not going to hav

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
SUPPOSED MAD DOG FRIGHTENS
LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
Several Children, arCOlorcd Laborer
and Many Animals Bitten-Gen-
eral and Personal.

There was a scare yesterday on upper SD
street and in the county, caused by a crazy
canine, which ran amuck through the
thoroughfares The animal attacked a
colored hodcarrier employed on the new
houses being erected by Mr.. R. D. Weaver
and bit him on the hand A little white
girl was attacked a short distance away
but escaped injury, and colored child
was the next victim. The latter was bitten
through the clothing, n though fortunately
the skin was not broken. The dog also at
tempted to bite another dog. the property
of Mr.. Rosenbusch.
A telephone message was received at the
Georgetown station from Mrs. Weaver
stating that a mad dog was in the vicinity,
and officers were Immediately sent out af-
ter the brute. 1t was traced up 32d street
to the place of Mr.. Edward Brooke, where
1t had attacked a colored man, who was at
work in a field. The man escaped being
bitten, but was badly frightened. From
here the dog went to the Brooke house and
entered the vestibule, but came out soon
after and attacked horse, fastening Its
teeth in its nose and throwing the large
animal to the ground.
The dog bit another dog and child in

into the spirit OF the organization and so
capable have been their instructors and
directors that the renditions have been
successful! and artistic to a wonderful de-
gree. The orchestra has set high stand
ard by its performances OF the past up to
which It is promised its labor Will ever live.
The REORGANIZATION.
A revival of the efforts of the organiza-
ton was thought well timed this season.
and such proved the case. The old members
of the orchestra We're only too glad of the
opportunity to renew their work and to at
tain to higher achievements. New members
came in from many sources. until now the
orchestra comprises over eighty capable
musicians. 1t is claimed that its personnel
is higher than ever before and consequently
greater accomplishments are looked for
The orchestra was fortunate in securing
most of its former members, especially
those who were in the more responsible
offices and positions In this connection it is
we'll to state that Mr. Rrainerd II. Warner
is again in the presidential Office. His labors
IN the past for the Georgetown Orchestra
are too well known to need little further
remark at this time. The vice president is
Mr.. Frank h. MetZerott. who has filed the
office for years in a most thorough ener-
getic and efficient manner. Mr. Edgar w.

Dr. William Long, constitute the executive

The organization was particularly fortu-
rate in securing the services once more of
Ir. Josef kasDar, under whose leadership
the orchestra attained such proficiency in
former years. He has been chosen con-
ductor. After the first rehearsal OF the
reorganized orchestra Prof. Kaspar enthu-
would on the occasion of the coming con-
cert, excel any of its previous efforts.
Further rehearsals have tended to carry
out this prediction, as rapid and marked
efficiency has been shown by all of the

the membership.

ORCHESTRA REVIVED
The Georgetown Organization Again
in the Field.
PROF. JOSEF KASPAR ITS LEADER
A Concert to Be Given Next Week
at the Lafayette.
ITS FORM ER CA Rec r

After a vacation of four seasons the
Georgetown Amateur Orchestra, a unique
and distinctive organization prominent in
the musical circles of Washington for the
past twenty years, has been reorganized,
and after careful training and preparation
announces it's fftieth concert, to be given
Thursday evening. May 3. at the Lafayette
Square Opera House.
The history of the organization is well
known to the musicians and music-loving
people of the capital city. Its efforts in
past years have been crowned by eminent
successes. No work has been too ambitious
for the members to undertake. and so
