An EXTRA SESSION.
President Mckinley Believes That
1t Is Inevitable.
NAY Be S0Oy AFTER INAUGURATION,


Washington. Feb. 23.-Three times
in as many days has the president
told his callers that he believes an
extra session inevitable. The presi-
dent went further than ever yester-
day by indicating his intention to call
the extra session to meet about two
weeks following his Inauguration.
This is taken to mean that il will be
some time in the week beginning
March Is, probably March 20 or
March q. The president still desires
an extra session primarily on Cuba.
Fresh information he has been receiv-
inc from Cuba conveys the news that
the Cubans are manifesting more
liberal policy toward the United
States government. What the Cubans
want and what members of congress
want is that a committee of the con-
si,uiional convention shall come to
Washington aud make arrangement
with the president and his cabinet
which shall be binding.

store last evening and his eagle eye
saw Knute Opheim on one side of
the counter and H. s. Hepner on the

bona out Of a leather box. Surmising
that the instruments he saw were in
some way connected with the forbid
den game, he interrupted long enough
to ask:
what are you gentleman playing
for?"
Beans" said hepner, with touch
of sarcasm in his voice.
Mr.. Donovan looked unconvinced
and went out. A little later he return
ed and formally notified the proprie-
tor that no shaking of dice would be
tolerated.
Don't do it again. he said, "un.

SECRET GAME WARDENS,
Special Deputy System Of the State
Game Warden.

Special Deputy System Of the State
Game Warden.
1t is not generally known that State
Game Warden w. F. Scott has ap-
pointed in every county of the state
numbers of special deputies, who
serve without pay and whose author
ity is not known to the general pub
lie, says the Independent. It is the
duty of these deputies to keep the
fact that they are in the service of the
game warden secret until such time
as it is necessary for them to show
their authority in making arrests for
attractions of the game and fish law.
Some time ago Mr.. Scott asked for
and received an opinion from Attor-
ney General Donovan to the effect
that he had power to appoint as many
special deputies as he wished, those
appointed as such to serve without
pay, but to be vested with the same
authority as the regular deputies in
making arrests.
The result of this unique special
service will be that hunters will be
found who, knowing that there is not
paid deputy in the vicinity, will not
hesitate on good opportunity to kill
such game out of season as they may
see fit. Their plans, however, may
seriously miscarry, as they are liable
to be in the presence of a companion
who is sworn to see that the law is
enforced.
The fact that these appointments
nave been made came to light recent
ly by the publication in a paper in
the eastern part of the state of certain
operations of supposedly special dep
uty game wardens, whereby several
violations of the game law had come
to light, through other agencies than
that of the regular deputies.
When Game Warden Scott was in
terviewed concerning the matter he
was reticent to discuss the alleged ap-
pointments, but inferred that there
was considerable more truth than fic.
ton in the story. He declined to say
how many of these special deputies
had appointed.

Was Discovered About Three
O'Clock this Morning
MUCH EXCITEMENT
Among the Inhabitants Of the Latin Quarter.
Fire Said to Be the Work
Of Incendiafv.

An alarm of fire brought out the
department this morning about 3
o'clock when the row of cribs on
Third street near First avenue west
was discovered to be in flames. The
building was a small frame affair. di.
vided into three or four apartments,
and as it was as dry as finder the
flames had a good start before the de.
partment arrived.
After the arrival of the fire boys,
however, the fire was soon under con-
troll and in a short time not a bit of
flame could be seen. One or two of
the rooms were unoccupied at the
time, but the furniture had not been
removed. The building is total loss
and the damage sustained is estimat-
ed at about $500.
There was lots If excitement
around the fire. The aenizens Of the
bad lands were out in force and the
mixture of bad French and worse Eng
lish used in telling how it happened
was strikingly pictu1 esque. It is
said that the fire was of incendiary
origin and that the night before an at
tempt had been made to burn the
place by lighting lot Of papers in
a leanto against the main building.
At that time the flames had burned
through several boards but had died
out befora any damage was done.
AS usuEl the fire department did
good work in spite of the poor water
pressure. The frame buildings ad-
joining the burned one on either side
were hardly touched.

STATE LANDS TO BE SOLD.
Large Tract to be Disposed Of in Flat
head County.

eos9C uVaCS 10 UC OtSPOSSO OF Ut Tt0Se
head County.
Thousands of acres of Montana's
best agricultural land will he offered
for sale at public auction within the
next few months, says the Tribune.
1t will be sold to the highest bidder,
but in no case can land be sold for
less than SO an acre, as the law fixes
the minimum ngure. Furthermore,
the person who cOntemplates buying
some of the land will have to content
himself with a quarter section. He
might feel inclined to secure larger
tract. but again the law steps in and
says 100 acres is enough for one in
dividual to work, besides the state
will become populated faster if set
tiers are limited as to the amount they
may purchase.
This was practically the plan out
lined by the state board of land COM
missioners yesterday. The question
has been under consideration for sew
eral weeks, during which time the
board has had the, state land office
figuring on the possibilities of set
Ting up much of the rich farming
land in the various counties. and in
cidentally increasing the revenues for
the purpose of maintaining public in
situations. At the meeting yesterday
State Land Register Long made
verbal report of his investigation
along this line. He showed that in
many of the counties, notably in Flat
head. there were thousands of acres
of good agricultural land that could
be put on the market at once.
After discussing the matter at some
length with Registrar Long, the board
went into executive Session. Later /.
was announced that the board had de-
cided to authorize the sale of as much
of the land belonging to the different
state institutions as could be sold a.
public auction. The regis, rar was also
authorized to take the necessary steps
to bring the sale to the attention of
prospective settlers. Dates will be
fixed for public auctions in the vari-
GUS counties Of the state and the land
will be offered for sale as fast as it
can be disposed of. In this way it is
believed considerable interest will be
aroused among people who contem-
plate settling in Montana, as much
of the land as remains unsold will then
be offered for leasing purposes.
The first sale will be held in Carbon
county probably some time in Septem-
Der. the exact date of which has not
yet been decided upon. With that
county disposed of State Land Regis
trar Long will proceed to Flathead
county, where $4,000 acres of some of
the best land the sun ever shown upon
will be put up at public auction Sales
in other counties will follow, but the
order has not been determined by the
registrar. While the amount to be de-
rived from the sales can only be con-
jectured, it is expected to run up into
the thousands, the total assisting ma
terially to lift the burden of the large
accruing interest upon the bonds of
the state institutions.
