final performance in the evening series
Of the Nibelungen tetralogy. -Gotter-

in the cycle most admired OF local music
lovers. Possibly because it is heard less
frequently and maybe because of it's in

Of a large and enthusiastic public to hear
the work.
The improved representations in the
second Nibelungen series and the evident
desire on the part OF the management to
meet more completely the exacting artistic
demands Of these operas were promise Of
satisfying results last night.
There was no disappointment for the audi
ence. Nine. Nordica was in better voice
than she has been throughout the season,
and although sparing Of her vocal resources
al the beginning OF the evening, she proved
a worthy companion for MIR. Knote, who
is an admirable representative of the ma

he did last night, and the same is true Of

Delays Forest Reservation.

The proposed extension of the Priest
river forest reserve of Idaho into
Washington so it will include some
three or four hundred thousand acres
of additional timber land already with
drawn from the public entry in Ste
vens county for that purpose has been
postponed until congress convenes,
and Forester Pinchot will take up the
matter in person with members of
the state congressional delegation who
are opposed to so large an extension
of the reserve in Stevens county. The
withdrawal of lands represent an i'm
mense timber forest whose area has
been much damaged by fire of late.
Officials of the forest service say that
the only way to save this timber is to
include it within forest reserve.
