JEFFERSON IS dead
EMINENT ACTOR PASSES Away
AT BALM Beach, FLORIDA.
Had Been Gradually Sinking for Some
Time-His Family Surrounded the
Death Bed-The Body Will Be TAX
en- to Buzzard's Bay, Mass, on Spe-
ciaI Train.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Joseph Jefferson, the eminent actor,
died at his home, THE Reefs" at Palm
Beach at 6:15 Sunday evening. The
end came after day of unconscious
ness, and after heroic struggle of
days which had exhausted his vitality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles BNand Frank Jefferson;
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham; DIR.
R. ]. Potter and his faithful old SER
want, Carl Kettler.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally ON
Thursday morning, and which was fol
lowed by an apparent Improvement
until Friday, the family had been
waiting for the end. Mr. Jefferson S
condition Saturday night grew stead
lily worse, and the family, who had
retired, were summoned from their
beds and DR.. Potter was called. The
patients condition continued to grow
worse all through Sunday, and the
tanned no words of encouragement.
Recent Visit to Cleveland.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson which
ended in his death was contracted it
is believed while on a recent visit
to his son, Charles B. Jefferson, at
Hobe sound, a few miles above Palm
Beach, and his friend, former Presi'
dent Cleveland. 1t is believed that
from a slight -ndiscretion in his out
ing there he suffered an attack of in
digestion. Since his return to his
home his condition grew steadily
worse, with slight rallies until the
end.
The body of Mr. Jefferson will be
taken to Buzzard's Bay, Mass, on q
special train, accompanied by ALI the
members of his family who are here
It will reach Buzzard's Bay the even
ing of Wednesday.

Wealth Of Timber In Russia.

The vast forest areas of Russia in
Europe, which cover nearly 10000, 900
acres, or SO per cent of the entire area
of the country, are aptly termed wood
ed Russia" Few people who have not
Travelled through this part Of the coun-
try can form any idea Of the country's
boundless wealth in timber. Houses
built of any other material are en-
tirely unknown outside of the great
cities and wood constitutes the prin-
cipal fuel. The forest belt in Siberia,
called the "Taiga," stretches in a d.
rect line from the Ural mountains to
the Pacific for 1000 miles and is in
many parts 500 miles broad. This is
all the property of the car.

SUIT BEGUN AGAINST
WATER RIGHT CLAIMS


In the district court at Fort Ben
ton next week suit will be instituted
against between 1000 and l,5OO per-
sons, to secure an adjudication of all
water rights in the Milk River basin
in Chouteau county.
The suit will be brought by the
stockholders Of the Harlem Irrigation
Go. and others who may join with them.
They have retained Attorney Geo.
n. Stanton of Great Falls and Charles
n. Pray Of Fort Benton, who are now
preparing the complaint, and abstrac-
tors are at work in the office or the
clerk and recorder of Chouteau county
compiling list Of all persons who
have ever asserted claim to any
water right in the Milk River basin
in this county. All such claimants
will be made parties to the suit,
either as plaintiffs or defendants.
The suit is to be brought at the re-
ouest Of officials Of the United States
reclamation service, who demand that
all water rights in the basin shall be
adiudicated before the beginning OF
work on the great Milk River irri ga
ton system. The canals OF the pro-
iected system will run through Teton
and Valley counties, as we'll as Chou
teau, but comparatively few water
| rights have been filed in those two
counties, and the officials OF the recla-
nation service will be satisfied with
adjudication of all the rights in Chou
teau county alone.
1t is anticipated that many OF those
who are to be named as defendants IN
the action will not make their appear
ance. Many of those who have filed
rights have long ago left the country
and have no interest in the matters
to be adiudicated. But every claim
ant will be made party to the suit,
and after those who wish to have
their rights established shall have
made answers, the suit will be tried
The trial will probably be begun
late in the fall, and the taking OF ties
timony as to the volume of the streams
,, in the basin and as to the relative
rights, will probably require seyera
months. The trial will be held al
Fort Benton, before Judge Tattan
= and his decree will finally ESTABLISH
| the amount of water to which eacl
> nerson in the basin Is now entitled.
