Joe Welch. the famous delineator of Jewish character, whose name is known throughout the county, is being starred by Sullivan, Harris and Woods in new play by Hal Reid, with the suggestive title of s'The Peddler." It will be the attraction at the Grand opera house to- night and Friday and Saturday nights, and at the Saturday matinee. The play holds the interest of the spectator from the rose to the fall of the curtain, and is full of stirring incidents true to life scenes. which appeal strongly to the sympathy and realism of the avera ge theatergoer. From the time Joe Welch appears upon the stage as Abraham Jacobson, the peddler, until the curtain falls with Abraham Jacobson a baron, the attention is centered upon the act ors in this heart to heart story, and they pass with them through their trials and tribulations and laugh with them in their joy and happiness.
 Bartley Campbell's justly celebrated drama ''The White Slave elaborately staged and costumed in the character istic style of 1857 will be the attraction at the Grand opera house for three nights and Wednesday matinee begin ming next Monday night, February 15. The author conceived in 'The White Slave" many original and thrilling sit uations The story of Lisa. the slave girl. is so human and so dramatic that it is ever fascinating. The comedy sparkles with rich humor which relieves the serious scenes and thrilling climax es with which the play abounds. The company is much larger than in any previous presentation of "The White Slave" and includes only players of es- tablished regulations.

operations which carried prices up- wards yesterday. This was emphasized by the very patent profit taking in United States Steel pf.. on the part of a prominent trader. and the very obvi- ous manioulative tactics by which it was sought to offset this by bidding up a few specialties here and there. There Was a suspicious feeling also that the marking up of prices yesterday had been more or less artificial and design ed to afford a basis for some of the sell ing. which it is believed will be neces- sary to cover losses in Baltimore. al
 though it is possible that it may be d-e ferred. The action of yesterdays mark ct gave rise to a surmise among the speculative element that the financial markets might be expected to sympa- thize with Japanese successes in the course of the war, but to-day's market failed to bear out that surmise as prices receded on the additional news of Rus sian losses. The presence in the city of the secretary of the treasury to discuss the method Of effecting the Panama canal payment directed attention anew to that subject, although the seeretary's opinion was quoted that the operation could be concluded without disturbance to the money market, and even with the actual addition to resources of such por- tion Of the canal payment as is with drawn directly from the sub-treasury. It is expected also that the obligations of foreign insurance companies on ac- count Of the Baltimore fire losses may facilitate the completion of the Panama canal payment without disturbing the exchange market. The real repressive influence seems to be the fear of K cessive corporation borrowings and the extra requirements involved in the Bal timore fire losses, the consequent neces- sary extension of credits and the Pana- ma canal payment. Rumors of a sale of New York Central notes to meet inn provement expenses illustrated in that stock the sensitiveness of the market to the effect of borrowings. rumor of a coming issue of St. Paul stock. which was officially isiclained, was a factor in the weakness of that stock. The heavy offerings of Pennsylvania on the slight early advance created bad impression.

HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.

Both President Roosevelt and Sen.
ator Fairbanks have now been Off
cially notified of their nomination for
the high offices of president and vice
president respectively. While it is
merely a matter of form, the occasion
gives the candidates as well as those
commissioned to bear the intelligence,
an opportunity to make some very
felicitous remarks. Such has been
the case both at Sycamore Hill and
AT indianapolis.
No sane mar can read these adj
dresses without being impressed with
the patriotism, lofty purpose and high
conception Of duty with which the
chief actors are imbued.
The speech Of notification by Elihu
Root contains facts that would be
well for the American people to re,
member. With much force and deli.
| cate irony he shows the difference
in the motives which prompted the
selection of Senator Fairbanks and
those which prompted the choice OF
his Democratic opponent. One is in
the prime of life, vigorous in mind
and body, a statesman Of high stand
ing in the greatest intellectual forum
of tho world and selected for his
worth as a man. The other an octo

THAT DENVER CONFERENCE.

The alarm Of the Great Falls Trib.
une lest the stockmen at their meet.
ing in Denver should make a strong
demand for a general leasing of the
balance of the public domain seems
TO have been entirely groundless. As
will be een elsewhere from a report
Of the proceedings the resolutions
on this question were uf a very mod
crate, just and conservative tone. No
one can read them without being con-
WINGED that the st~ockgrowers are only
concerned as to the fuure protection
OF their business and do not expect
to get access to the publice domain
through leasing for some time TO
come. If ever. They have probably
found that there is a strong senti-
mcnl against the system. even in
their W association, and that il
would be folly to urge radical changes
at present.
II is to the credit of the stockgrow-
ers of Montana that at their meet
ing in Helena last month they took
grounds against the leasing system.

They did not care to disturb the anna

That general leasing is a good ways

THE ISSUES.

The wires tell us that the Democ-
racy have determined to make Roose.
welt and R%ooseveltism the issue this
year.
Is that true? Has the office Of
president descended so low that a
great party hopes 10 win il through
mere personalities
And what do they propose to al
tack in the president? His moral or
physical courage? His integrity? His
ability?
Or is the attack 10 be confined 10
fears OF what he might do some time?
That Is The insidious charge made
irst by the New York rich men who
will not forgive the president because
when he was governor of the Empire
State they could not use him as a
means to evade paying their fair
share of taxation.
Are they going to take up the cause
of General Miles and try to prove
that he has been wronged? They
should go slow on both those indict.
ments, because il will be easy to es-
tablish that what the president did
on the account of New York taxes
was the only honest thing he could
do, and that in case of General Miles
he had been insubordinate up to the
point OF a court-martial for years,
that finally he reiterated as true
charges against a brother officer
which had been investigated and de.

Great forest fires have been raging
in Flathead county for the past two
weeks, the smoke from which has
settled over the greater portion of
central and eastern Montana. No
doubt thousands of acres Of valuable
timber have been destroyed in a
county where it is said TO be very
abundant. II Is a great pity that
some organized effort is not made to
check such fires in their incipicncy.
Tho protection of timber from fir" is
OF greater importance than grass ON
the ranges. II takes years 10 grow
a forest. while the range Is only lost
for a season. In years of drouth CIV.
cry ~prccaution should be used TO pre-.
vent the setting out and spread of
fires. There is no region of the state
that can afford to sustain the loss of
timber or prairie fires. Both grass
and timber are very important Mon.
tana assets these days.
