OderiierOus Crowd.

A reporter OF the Helena Herald
interviewed Gov. Smith Wednesday
OF last week, the reporter inquiring:
"ln the event Mr.. Clark loses his
seat either by resignation or the ne
tion of the senate, is there any pos
sibility, governor, of your calling the
Sixth Legislative Assembly together

pose of electing IA senator tn fill out
Mr.. Clark's unexpircd term"
"No sir; such an idea is absurd.
You are at liberty to quote me as

 Liberal appropriations are urged, not only to provide for an adequate administration of the reservations al- ready established, but to enable the Land Office to push forward with rapidity the work of examining the forest lands which yet remain unre- served, and also to provide sufficient protection for such as are not of character to be withdrawn for forest purposes.
 The report concludes with the fol- lowing statement:

THREE CLUBS TIED.
An Interesting Situation in the Local
Rowling League.

Three clubs tied for first place in the Dis
trict Bowling League and the seasons end
but ten days off. That is the story OF the
league today for the team of the Young

with the Saengerbund five last night won
out in two of the games. reducing the per-
centage Of the Ssngers TO that Of the Golden
Eagles and pulling their own up TO the same
standard. The end is in sight but no man
can predict the outcome.
The association alleys. where the match
was played, were thronged with an au-
dience which discounted in point of numbers
any other at a league match In years. The
fact that It was the last set on the home al
leys brought out the friends of the Associs-
ton in great numbers, and that ever-delight-
full feature of the games played there-the
presence of the lades-was a dominating fea-
ture. With such a gathering the Associa-
ton boys had much in their favor and after
catchlng their wind in the first game they
made two lively scores and won from their
opponents in each Of the succeeding games.
All of the scores were good. and the playing
was highly mertoriouS. In fact these late
season scores are much better the part
OF all the league clubs than those Of the
early months. a fact which is materially af-
fecting the calculations Of the pennant
