HIS Debut.

That Albert Spalding, the sixteen
year-old son of J. W. Spalding of New
York city, is destined to become one of
the most famous yiolinists of the day
there seems to be little doubt.
Mr.. Spalding made his professional
debut recently at the Nouveau theater.
Paris, and on this occasion his rendi-
ton of Saint Saens' Concerto" Bach's
"Chaconne," Beethoven's Romance"
and Sarasate's ''Zigeunerwetsen," a
most difficult programme, held the full
seating capacity of the theater spell

gious drama, entitled THE School of

for the first time publicly this season,
The Passion play, for which Ober-

generations, has been given regularly,
with IA few exceptions, on the even
decades. but it is now the purpose Of
the people OF Oberammergau to give

The play dramatizes the life of King
David. who will be the central figure
in the piece. while parallel episodes IN
the life of Christ are interviewer as

play is just the reverse of the Passion
play In that Old Testament scenes
are reproduced IN dramatic form, while
the New Testament are given exclu-

KoOtenai Valley Vegetables.

1t becomes every day more ev-
ident that in the line OF vegetable
raising with some care and industry
a great deal can be accomplished
in this valley and the adjacent
territory. Only this week George
Schollield fetched in some garden
produce that was not in any way
inferior to the same varieties raised
elsewhere. Splendid, ripe Hubbard
squashes and ears Of corn were a
sight to see. 1he corn ears mea-
sured in average about one foot a
piece, and the Hubbard sQuashes
were of the largest. The main fea-
ture was that the seeds were only
planted in Mother Earth as late as
July 1. The HERALD is obliged to
Mr.. Scholiicld for specimens of his
industry.

MILLION DOLLARS
THE STAKES
Big Contest is on at Land Office between Gov
eminent and N. P. Railway Company.

One million dollars at the least
estimate is the value of the land
which the Northern Pacific will
loose if the contest case which has
just been heard at Occur d'Alene
city, Idaho, is decided in the favor
of the government, according to
the estimate of f. NJ. Goodwin,
SPECIAL agent of the general land
office. For the past week and n
half five men have been sitting
around rough table in the ante
room OF the receivers office at
Occur d'Alene city, splitting tobacco
in a common box and playing for
these tremendous stakes with as
little concern as the corner grocery
shows in declaring war on Eng
land. NJ T. Saunders of st, Paul,
assisted by Thomas Cooney, who
has made a personal examination
of the lands in dispute, is opposed
in this great game by G. b. Gard
ner, attorney for the government,
assisted by A. J. Collier, govern
ment geologist, and F. NJ. Good
win. Twenty-eight witnesses were
produced by the government to Off
set the evidence of a half dozen
called by the Northern Pacific. If
these men succeed in convincing
the secretary of the interior, to
whom the case will ultimately go,
that the land in question is non
mineral in character, the Northern
Pacific will be 100000 richer.
F. NJ. Goodwin said yesterday:
"By the grant of land to the North

ern Pacific it was given every odd
section within 40 miles of the right
OF way, with the exception of min
eral lands. Where lands are min
eral the railroad does not get lieu
selections for them. Therefore, if
this region is declared mineral the
Northern Pacific is out that much.
On the other hand, if the land is
declared to be more valuable for
timber and agriculture than for
its minerals, it will mean to the
railroad 100000. With the
exception of two townships all this
region, consisting of over 100000
acres, is included in the proposed
Shoshone forest reserve. If the
land is awarded to the railroad it
will have the privilege of taking
other lands in lieu OF these put in
the reserve. | have been inves-
tigating and have found that the
Northern Pacific has been in the
habit of charging from IS to $40
for its lieu selections. There is
plenty of unsolicited land, left in
the public domain from which the
railroad could choose.
"In the matter of settling the
public domain, the department is
now much more strict than it used
to be. Before final proof can be
made on any homestead the claim
ant must show that he has actually
lived continuously on the land for
five years, and continuous residence
is taken to mean exactly what it
says. Going on the land once in
six months will not suffice.

Closing of Spokane Fair.

Last Sunday was the closing day
of the Spokane fair, and all con-
cerned seem to be satisfied with
the results. 1t is claimed that the
fair was better than any fair held
before from every standpoint. In
financial way the fair was very
successful, as a handsome profit
was left after paying all expenses
for a nucleus for future events.
Spokane praises the manager, r..
II. Cosgrove, highly for the success.
As years roll by such an institution
if properly managed ought to he
something that Spokane and the
great surrounding empire needs.

Must Live on Homestead Land.

residence now. For the past year
special agents of the department
have had supervision of final proof,
and they are in a position to know
more about the lands than the
commissioner, and can crossexam-
inc a claimant in any manner they
wish.

he has made his home on the land

once in a while, his residence is in
Spokane and no amount OF juggling
with facts will make him a resident
of the homestead.
"Thc only effect filing on land
and building a house there has is to
keep some one else from taking it
up; it will not give a man the
right to make final proof and get
title to the land, which he must do
in seven years. No one will get
