mer and lit has been ascertained that
the flow of water is fully as large as
it is in the Shoshone river in Wyo-
ming, in the canyon of which near
Cody the government will build a great
reservoir for storage purposes. That
is to say the run4off of the Clarke's
Fork has been quite as large ito the
present date and there is no reason ito
believe that it will vary much in the
winter months.
The Lower Yellowstone.
"The Glendive project has been re-
christened. In future it will be known
the Lower Yellowstone project.
It's new name will indicate its location
to people everywhere. 1t was former
ly called the Fort Buford project by
some and the Glendive by others.
Work is rapidly progressing there.
Construction material, cement and
steel, are being shipped to Glendive
on the Northern Pacific and Mondal1
on the Great Northern. Two lines of
steamers are to be employed ON the
river for shipping material and con-
tractors supplies from nearest rail
road points to the works. A railroad
dock is being constructed at Mondak
to facilitate the transfer of material
and a dock has been staked off. at
Glendive for the same purpose. Even
tually the steamers will run above and
below the works. Proposals for the
building of the dam across the Vel
lowstone river, to be 600 feet long
will be opened in Billings, December
s. Proposals for building the balance
of the main canal and distributing
system, aggregating over rs miles
will be- opened November 15."
Concerning Shoshone Project.
CONSTRUCTION work on the Corbett
tunnel, which will be three and one
half miles in length and approximate
ly 10 feet square, will begin at once.'
continued Mr.. Savage. "Bids for fur
nishing the cement necessary for the
tunnel work, $4,000 barrels, were open
ed in Billings a few days ago, ant
recommendations have been made ant
forwarded Ito Washington. Advertise
ments will be made at once for bids
ON the timber that will be requiret
for temporary Inning the tunnel. II
all of these contracts the government
purchases the cement and timber ant
delivers it to the contractor at tht
nearest railway station. Two town
sites have been laid out ON the Sho
shoue canal already and are on tht
market. One of them is Corbett
about 12 miles east of Cody, and tht
other is at Ralston, II miles east o
Corbett. There is a big sale of lott

Carlton laughed in the young wom-

When outside the building he was
mobbed by crowd of men, many of

who then tried to strike him. The mob
numbered fully 500, and the deputies

had been living together while. and that
some time later she received letter say
ing that Pyles was dead. Believing that

Baltimore, Washington and many other
cities have their birds at the liberating sta
tons awaiting word from the weather bu-
reau for instructions to liberate.
Two hundred and eighty-seven birds were
shipped by the Washington district on
Wednesday night to Millen, Ga, and, be-
sides local honors, they will endeavor to re-
gain lost prestige. The defeat of last year
in the national COZ course race with nine
clubs of Baltimore IS expected to be wiped
out. Notwithstanding that only 1876 birds
will compete against POI from Baltimore.
The last two years have been unproductive
of day birds. but hopes are running high,
and the disappointment will be keen If ex-
pectations are not realized. Mr.. Phil Krous
still leads in the race for the average speed
diploma, being II yards ahead of his nearest
rival, and has the grand average of 1,23l
yards per minute, which is 30 yards more
than has ever been attained by any local
loft in races up to and including the 400
mile station.
Each succeeding race has increased the
interest in the special prize, and after the
! close of the last race Mr. Toy who has been
leading throughout the series. is still on top,
but is very closely pushed by three others,
and all of the contestants have a splendid
opportunity of carrying off the coveted
prize. The following is the standing to
date: w. ]. Toy 81 per cent; Walter Nor
wood, 90 per cent; w. F. Dismer, 90 per
cent; Charles F. Rupert, 90 per cent; Phil

HEARING IN ALLEY CASE.

the New Law.

Hearing occurred today at the city hall
In the matter of the opening of an alley
in block numbered 6, Ingleside bounded by
Lowell street. 18th street, Howard avenue
and Mount Pleasant street. The hearing
was before Justice Gould and a jury COM
posed of Messrs. George w. Moss, John F.
Herrell, Eugene ]. Tighe, Thos P. Stephen
son and William NJ. Somerville.
Special Assistant Corporation Counsel a.
Leftwich Sinclair conducted the proceed
ings in behalf of the District Commission
ers, the petitioners in the case, and called
as witnesses William NJ Terrell, R. w
Beall, r. w. Walker and William p Rich
ards. The witnesses gave testimony re-
gardiEg the value of the land to be con-
demned for the opening of an alley in the
block mentioned and as to the benefits that
will accrue to adjacent property in conse-
quence of the opening of the alley.
After hearing the evidence the jury was
instructed by Justice Gould as to the law
of the case, and retired to consider a ver-
dict, which, it Is believed, will be returned
to the court within the next two or three
days.
This is the first case that has arisen I'M
der the new alley law passed by Congress

The notable excellence of the Sylvan
Players was further demonstrated Wednes-

thoroughly artistic performance of Twelfth

play proved to be one of the most enjoy
able performances in the series of open-air
Shakespearean entertainments given by the
company, and it served to confirm the i'm
pressian created by previous performances
that the Sylvan Players are entitled to high
rank among the theatrical organizations
that have been distinctly devoted to pre-
senting Shakespeare. The play was aptly

the officers of the District organization was
handsomely decorated with the national

prevail of the temperance movement and
the mammoth task which the w. c. T. u.
has undertaken.

ing offered by Mrs. La Fetra, and the con-
gregation united in singing the anthem,
Work, for the Night Is Coming" re-
port was read by Mrs. T. A. Williams, Civ
ing in brief a review of the work of the
District organizations for the past quarter
and what 1t had accomplished in different
lines of endeavor. 1t was reported that the
work of introducing into the public schools
a line of temperance instruction had met
with satisfactory results. More than 500
has been expended, it was stated, in local
work and eighty-four meetings had been
held among local unions during the regular
period
Mrs. Shelton, financial secretary of the
board of trustees, offered an encouraging
statement of progress made in liouida ting
at 522 9Th street northwest, and reported
in detail the amounts contributed toward
this object by the several local branches
of the w. c. T. L. North Capitol Union
was reported to have raised the largest
sum of money since the last quarterly
meeting in April.
Reports were also made by Mrs Walter
Brown and Mrs. Jennie H. Robinson of the
board of trustees. The treasurer reported
that after all expenses had been met the
books of the District organization showed
a balance of 81, 7S2 in the treasury at the
beginning of the new quarter.
Rev. Mr.. Doney in the course of his re-
marks dwelt upon the great work being
accomplished by the w. c. Z. U. and made
suggestions regarding the difficulties which
sometimes were encountered. He was a
firm believer, he said, in the cause of tenn
perance, and he spoke of the arduous and
persistent work required of all reformers
in uprooting evil and working out things
for the glory of God In Illustrating his
point the minister drew a vivid picture of
the destruction of the famous He'll Gate
and the method by which it was accom-
plshed. He said the temperance and
other similar organizations are dynamos
which lie beneath the rocks of evil With
tremendous force, he said, they will some
day blow to atoms the rocks of evil now
encountered.
The noon hour of prayer was conducted
by Mrs. NJ. E. Cohen, district vice presi-
dent. This part of the exercises comprised
prayers and singing, at the conclusion OF
which the meeting took recess.
