Under the direction of Mr.. John Cort,
Florence Roberts, the clever and pop.
ular young emotional actress, will be
seen for the first time in Spokane in
Ann La Mont" the new problem play
by Paul Armstrong, in which she ere.
ated the title role at Salt Lake City
October 2. Miss. Roberts engagement
at the Spokane theater is for two
nights and Saturday matinee, starting
Friday, October ~.
Under ordinary circumstances the
advent of a new play is not an I'm.
usual event for theater goers, but in
the case Of Miss Roberts, who has
made her most emphatic successes in
the west, playgoers are more than or
dinarily interested. Aside from this,
also, she will begin her contract to
tour under Mr.. Corts direction and
from all reports he has povided his
star with one Of the best plays, an
elaborate production and a most capa-
BILE cast, in which Max Figman, the
well known comedian, is said to have
an excellent part.
"Ann La Mont" is described as
problem play in four acts with locales
in New York, London and Hawaii, the
latter providing the most dramatic eli
max Of the play. Ann is a struggling
young artist in New York. She is
girl of temperament, breeding and ed
ucation but at war with the conven.
lions. Leon Richmond, a fellow ar
list and successful illustrator, has a
studio in which Ann has worked from
his models, being too poor to rent a
studio of her own. The two are Otter
thrown alone. and the author puts it
in line, "Seclusion from the eyes Of
the world has ever Supplied the con-
science" Richmond has been in Eu-
rope. Ann falls in love with another
man, Titus, deeply, honestly in love.
She writes Richmond, attempting to
explain that the relation existing be-
tween them are at an end. He refuses
to accept her ultimatum or to believe
in her reformation. Ann refuses to
marry the man of her final choice I'M
til she has convinced the other that
she is beyond him. This is the central
theme Of the story which ends in hap
by reconciliation.

SALE VERY SATISFACTORY.
State Lands Bring More Than the APP
praised Price.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 3.-The sale of
state building lands in Mcpherson
county was a most satisfactory one to
the members of the state capitol COM
mission. While the lands offered were
appraised at from SO TO So an acre
the sale price was above that figure,
the tracts offered bringing 1915 above
the appraised price. The highest price
paid for any one tract was SIS IN acre,
and a number Of sales were made above
the $40 minimum. Commissioners Bach
reports that he could have. sold at
least twice as much land had il not
been for the fact that farmers have
been delayed in threshing operations
and are not just now in position to
purchase. Before he left Eureka a
number of German farmers asked that
he make a second offering of lands
there at a later date, after they had
marketed their summer crop. While
the lands sold We're with the option of
three payments Owe half the tracts
sold were paid for in cash. One point
shows what kind of land was offered. it
being that all Of il was taken by resi-
dents or land In the county
who bought adjoining tracts to land
they already W and farm. The
bought because they knew just what
they We're getting, n ii was not a
matter OF speculation on their part. Of
ferings win be made in Faux and
Hyde counties this week, and good
sales are looked for.

PILE UP PINE CONES.
Captain Seth Bullock Picking Up Sceda,
for Reforcstration.

D~eadwood, s.. D.. Oct. 30.-Captain
Bullock of the forest reserve has doubt
less the largest corps Of workmen uR-
der him of any government employee
OF the United States. In fact no one
can estimate how many individuals are
working for the captain, though some
are drawing no pay.
His first army of helpers is composed
of small boys who are gathering pine
cones for which they are paid % cents
per bushel, but by far the largest num-
Der of the captains helpers are the red
squirrels, legion in number, who coll
lect the cones for the small boys.
1t was decided a short time ago to
seed all over the burnt districts Of this
reserve in order to produce a new
growth. This experiment was tried
last spring on thirty acres of land
near RoubaiX and proved amply salts
factory. The thirty acres produced n
Seeding to each square foot.
With so satisfactory results before
their eyes, the forestry department de-.
termined to push the matter even
further and Captain Bullock has been
collecting pine with the intent of
seeding all the burnt districts of the
Hills next spring.
The small boys who are collecting
these cones for him are not allowed to
pick them from the trees, but instead
gather them from the ground. They
were not long in learning, however,
tina the red squirrels are the best
o n gatherers in the country. Their
method of warfare now is to find a
squirrels den and capture his plumber.
In one den as many as nine bushels
were found and it is no uncommon
thing for them to yield from FIVE 10 six
bushels.

.clusion OF the testimony submitted by

Il few remarks by Mr.. James for the
state the court ruled that the motion
was denied, and then the defense

amount at which the bond should be
fixed. Mr.. Tournier fixed the bond at
i$5, eco for the defendants appearance
