return with a heavy bag of red-legged
partridges for distribution among the hos

a sudden change of habits, nay, revolu-

DANGERS OF DEATH GULCH.
Place Which the President Expects to
Visit in the Yellowstone.

Anaconda (A1ont) Standard.
President Roosevelt expects to visit Death
Gulch, by far the most dangerous section
of the park This gulch is in a remote Sec
ton and is never visited by tourists. Many
years ago a trapper told of remarkable
gulch strewn with carcasses of wild ami
mails to enter which was death. This story
was looked upon as a myth until years
later, when the place was found to actu-
ally exist.
Death Gulch is located fifteen miles from
Yancey's. From Yancey's, where the Presi-
dent will go soon after his arrival at Fort
Yellowstone, he will travel east to the
mouth of Cash creek. Death Gulch is To-
Gated one and one-half miles up the creek.
1t is a narrow canyon, with precipitous
walls. for the most part. There are places
where the canyon may be entered down the
sides, but most of the unfortunate animals
which wander into the gulch come in by
its head. In the bottom Of the gulch and
along its sides are strewn the skeletons
and remains of elk. deer and bear that
have met their end there. 1t is this gulch
that was. made famous by Seton Thomp-
there that the grizzly died.
Three years ago DR.. Frank w. Trap
hagen. professor or natural sciences at the
agricultural college at Bozeman and one of
Peter Koch. president of the Bozeman Ma
tional Bank. visited the gulch. strong
wind was blowing at the time and they
were able to go into it from its mouth
without danger Dr. Traphagen found, as he
had suspected, that the unfortunate ami
mails which had ventured into the canyon
were killed by poisonous gas which came
from the bottom of the gulch. He secured
a number of samples of this gas, which he
carried back to his laboratory in Bozeman.
He found ii to be deadly gas. heavier than
the air. so that when no wind was blowing
the lower part of the canyon would be
filled with it and it would cause death to
any living thing that breathed II.
1t was in the vicinity that Slough creek
Is located. There are more elk and deer In
this district than in any other In the park
and the President desires to see these wild
animals. Mr.. Burroughs. the naturalist.
who will accompany the President, desires
to visit Death Gulch to satisfy himself of
the report of the gases there.
A trail has been broken from Fort Vel
lowstone to Yancey's. but the remainder of
the trip will have TO be made on skis.

Boy Was willing.

washington POST.
There is Presbyterian family here in
town who own or are owned by a masterful
boy of seven. The boys grandmother came
to visit them recently and reproached them
because the child had not yet been bap-
tized. The mother protested lamely that
she expected TO defer that until the boy
should unite with the church. Grand
mother shifted and said If they waited till
the boy professed religion and wished to
join the church. they'd wait till the forty
first year of the millennium; so II was de-
cided that he should be baptized at once.
Somewhat of the discussion reached the
youngster. and he marched bravely up to
his mother.
Have l got to be baptized?' he asked.
Eyes, dear answered the mother.

need of any kind of labor legislation. This
THE DUBLIN CONVENTION.

The report of the convention of Irish
Nationalists. which met in Dublin on
Thursday and continued yesterday. shows
that it was a peculiarly typical and rep
resentative assemblage. Nearly all Of the
Irish political leaders that the world has
been hearing about for years were there.
besides many persons of local standing
and influence not known outside of Ire
land. If. indeed. outside of their respective
communities. 1t a meeting of Irish
political leaders and Irish tenants boiling
over with hatred of the Irish landlord
system. There were about 1900 delegates
present. The dispatch says:
On the platform sat almost every Ma
tionalist member of Parliament, with a
scattering of prelates. In the body of the
rotunda was a gathering seldom equaled
in representative capacity. Farmers from
Clare In top boots, laborers from Dublin
county. landlords from Cork and priests
from all parts, the latter's somber clothing
and tall hats contrasting pleasantly with
the bright homespun apparel of the ma
jority. There were old men, white-haired
relics of the Land League. young farmers.
rising factors in the United Irish League.
fresh from the fields of Connaught and
Munster. county councillors. priests. young
and old.
The convention itself was an eloquent
protest against the continuance of pres
ent conditions in Ireland. and should warn
the British government that the time has
come when something must be done. Prob
ably the most impressive speech of the
occasion was made by Mr. John Redmond,
leader OF the Irish contingent in Parlia-
ment Mr. Redmond's ability aS O Ieader
is universally admitted He commands the
affection of his followers and the esteem
of his political opponents. and the House
of Commons listens to him with respect
In his speech at Dublin he dwelt upon the
historic importance of the occasion begged
his hearers to remember their tremendous
responsibility. and said If they rejected
the Irish land bill which had been intro
duced in the Commons it was dead forever,
land the greatest prospect of Irish free
dom since the act of union was passed
would disappear" The sentiment of the
convention was clearly In favor of the
bill, and while some amendments were
proposed. the spirit and principle of the
bill were warmly Endorsed. The govern
ment should be satisfied with such Sndorse-
ment. 1t can well afford to make such
changes in the details of the bill as will
not affect its main plan or it's practical
operation. especially if they will insure the
hearty Endorsement and cooperation of
the Irish people. On the other hand, if the
duty of securing the amendments is left
to the Irish members of Parliament they
should be reasonable in their requests and
not make demands that the government
cannot comply with. This would be very
unwise, for If the present bill fails it is not
likely that as good an opportunity of set
thing the Irish question will occur again
for great many years.
