HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.

Hon. w. A. Clark Of Montana made his
maiden speech today in the United States
senate.
Though he was sworn in at the beginning
OF the session his regard for senatorial
courtesy or propricty has induced him,
being new member TO remain modestly
in the background, leaving such new mem
bers as Patterson to offend the proprieties
by talking almost continuously since taking
the oath OF Office.
Senator Clark's subject today was the
isthmian canal. lie delivered his speech
in favor Of the Nicaraguan route, referring
to the Panama route as an international
hoodoo.
The subject Of the isthmian canal is of
great Importance to the West, bearing as
1t does upon the matter of the shipment
OF the Vests surplus products to the
Orient and the reduction of freight rates
on copper matte to the East. 1t is signih-
cant that Senator Clark, although demo-
crat, finds it advisable to support republican
measures whenever he desires to make
record.

PERHAPS the esteemed Billings Times is
mind-reader and knows exactly what
Butte's wishes and intentions are in the
matter referred to. Says the Times:
Butte has become rival of Miles
City and is holding out its hand to the
Milwaukee, More than that it declares
that it has 'cinch' ON the matter of be-
ing the terminus of the road. Unlike its
big sister across the range, however, it
does not want to hog the thing. 1t is
willing that the road shall touch Miles Citv
and also run branch to the Black Hills,
with still another further west to tap the
capital, that is if Helena will be real good
For some reason Billings seems to have
incurred the illwill of the enterprising
constructors over on the west side, as thew
entirely ignore it III their calculations and
say they will build their road southwest
from Miles City, but will swing il north
again so as to cross the main divide ar

KEEP THE COURT OUT or POLITICS.

The purpose behind the Seminole clubs
desire to increase the membership OF the
state supreme court must be plain to all
the people. Certainly the suggestion is not
made in the interest OF the republican
party, because democratic governor would
have to appoint two judges to act from the
time OF the passage OF the law to the next
succeeding election during which time the
laws of the state would be in the hands
OF court two of whose members were not
elected by the people.
Is there any other purpose behind the
Seminole clubs proposed reform! Are the
decisions Of the honorable supreme court
such fair and logical interpretations Of the
law that they must be overcome by a resort
to political subtcrfuges, thus dragging
the courts into the mud and mire OF
politics? Are there men in Montana, re-
publicans at that, who are opposed to the
dccrccs OF justice and intend to repudiate
those DEGREES through political agencies

DEMOCRATS AND IRRIGATION.

Our esteemed democratic contempora-
ries, even a few hidebound chaps in the
West, are reluctant to bestow even a faint
word OF praise on republican congress
for passing the irrigation bill, although
this legislation will be OF immeasurable
benefit to I6 states and territories in the
West and Northwest, viz: Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota
Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
One Of our democratic contemporaries
in Montana grudgingly states that it will
"do some good" but adds "Those who
will benefit most are the large land COM
panies' This is remote from the truth.
The bill provides for the construction and
maintenance OF irrigation works in the
states and territories named and speci-
fically provides that no right to the use of
the water shall be sold for a tract in excess
OF 100 acres to any one land owner, and
the owner must be bona fidc resident on
the land reclaimed, or an occupant thereof
residing III the neighborhood.
Still little thing like that does not
prevent democratic paper from wilfully
misrepresenting the legislation of a re-
publican congress-, although sucn legisla-
ton may put bread and butter in the
mouths Of its readers

FERvOR OF THE STAGE KISS.
Flance Of the Actress Advised to Look
the Other Wav

They are telling an interesting little
story about lovely young Washington
girl who has recently gone on the stage.
She loves the stage, but she also loves a
very handsome man, to whom she is en-
gagged and when there is any question as
to which shall suffer, the former or the
latter, she is willing that she should yield.
This was proven conclusively the other
evening at full dress rehearsal the first,
by the way which the fance had at
tended. He sat off in the gloom of the
empty theater, but the girl did not for
get that he was there. Her heart re,
mained in its proper location.
She did very well, indeed, with but one
or two corrections from the stage man
aager, until the moment arrived for the
leading man to kiss her. She modestly
turned her head when the leading man
called out
We'll do get your ear or your
mouth" adding ood-naturediy 10 the
hance: Turn your back, Jack"
The young lady blushed furiouslly, but
she now knows that stage kiss can't
be make believe, not even for the sake
of ones fance.

THE MINE VS.. THE ORCHARD.

Not much is heard of California these
days as a mining state, although its
mineral product in 1900 was upwards OF
$5a 900 900, and a rich old gravel is
constantly being discovered in unexpected
places. The reason is that orchard pro-
ducts are now taking precedence in a state
that has produced over $I,3so,ooo,ooo in
gold and has larger range of explored
mineral territory than any other state in
the union. 1t is worthy of note in passing
that California's gold production to date is
greater than the total assessed valuation
OF the state, viz. Gold production,
$f,3so 900 900; assessed valuation OF the
state, $r,24I,7o5,8o5.
The State Mining Bureau has recently
issued pamphlet whicl shows the value
of the leading products OF the orchard,
which are now claiming the attention of
the public over the departing mining
industry. For example, the value of
oranges and lemons raised in the state
last year was $I4,ooo,ooo; cured fruits,
$7,5oo.ooo prunes, $4,000, 900. -Four other
products of California, in relation TO the
mineral output, make this showing: Lum-
Der, 81 per cent; butter, 30 per cent ;
flour, II per cent; sugar, Q per cent ;
hops, 80 per cent. So it will be seen tina,
the orchard, the field and the forest are
taking the place of the mine in the State
that was once the Mecca OF miners from all
parts Of the world.

FASHIONS FRILLS.
New York Times !


One of the pretty chiffon ruGs has
around the neck innumerable little white
ostrich tips with the chiffon folds The
ends are OF the chiffon alone.
Another white chiffon ruff has loops of
black velvet ribbon set here and there in
the chiffon, a good part of the ruff being
of the black. The long loops and ends in
the front are of velvet ribbon, with let
ornaments set here and there.
Nothing more charming in the way of
frocks than those worn by little bonbon
box ladies'! One is dressed in pae-blue
crepe paper, low-cut gown outlined
around the decolletage, with cords of white
and gold, and the waist of the frock, which
is short Empire, finished with another
white and gold cord with long ends and
tassels. There is medium-len coat
open in front to show the inside trimming
straps of white-and the little lady has
a pale-blue crepe paper hat of the latest
style.
Tan trimmed with lowered pink is the
other little lady's gown, an evening frock
outlined with the pink around the decol-
letage and lower edge of the frock, and at
the waist line, while the hat matches the
costume. The gowns are both exceedingly
modish, with the exception of the contours
of the black, both of the box ladies having
something of a Grecian bend, as they cover
comparatively good size box.

That Was the Dover German Bride
Received From Her Father.
A singular freak was that of wealthy
resident Of Koniggschak, Germany, re-
Gently. On the betrothal of his daughter
Herr Duchatschek had announced that he
would give her as a marriage portion her
weight in silver currency. Accordingly, OIL
the wedding day the bride was formally
weighed in the drawing room in the pres
cnce of the assembled guests. The lady
turning the scales at 6s kilogrammes, a
sack was at once filed with silver
crowns to the same weight, with half
kilogramme over for the weight of the
bag. The exact number of crowns was
$1,000.
The bride weighed 1877 pounds. It was
the best she could do, although her envious
friends assert she had eaten all the fat
and flesh-producing food she could hold
from the date of her betrothal up to the
day her marriage was celebrated. e,

Room for Youna Men.

Two additional clubs are needed iIi Birmingham for young men, and the two we lack will probably be built at an early day, thus hastening the work of building in Jones Valley a we'll equipped modern city. True, the Young Mems Christian Association has secured subscriptions to the amount of $27O0O only. when $75.O00 is needed, but the greater sum will be forthcoming because all look ahead to a greater Birmingham in the not distant future It would not be true economy to build simply for the pres ent, and the friends of the Young Mems Christian Association move ment are acting wisely in declaring that building must be erected that will serve as a rallying point and club house for young men throughout a generation to come.
 The Athletic Club building has been contracted for, and fine structure is to be put up. The Athletic Club is a club proper, and it's membership can be confined to it's accommodations, but this popular club will build with an eye to some to the future. The or ganization has a firm hold upon many young men, and it's waiting list will soon, no doubt, be a large one. It stands for all health-giving, develop ing sports, both of the indoor and out door sort, and it's present determina- tion to organize a football team that will be the pride of the town is but an indication of it's ever-present de- sire to to promote i5i -0iIsiotto athieticism and the fame of Birmingham.
 We need the Athletic Club, which is independent, standing firmly on it's own feet, and we also need the pro posed Y. M. c. A. building, which does need all the help it can secure.

But One Southern Leaune.

It is plain that an effort has been made by some Memphis sportsmen, aided perhaps by some in Nashville, to organize another baseball league in the south by disorganizing the South ern Association. It is doubtful. how ever, if two leagues can exist in the south.
 The Southern league will be main tained, becoming perhaps a ten-club league, instead of an eight-club league, as has been the case up to the present time. The addition of two clubs gives Montgomery and Mo bile the opportunities they have long desired. It makes Alabama, too, cen tral, giving this state three clubs, or as many as there are in Tennessee. This will operate to reduce the bump tiousness of two of the Tennessee clubs, and render the league more harmonious and satisfactory to all. Too much domination from one local ity is not desirable.
 The management of the Birming ham club should atone for the mis- takes of last season by putting in the field next season a team that will never drop out of the first division. Birmingham will give 1t all possible support in the effort, and such sup port will not be withdrawn until it fails to get together a first division team. It stands pledged to a gener- ous patronage to sign such a team, and it's own interest calls aloud for such action on its part.
 All who love outdoor sports in the
