OCCUPIES A UNIQUE
POSITION IN SMART
SET OF GAY LONDON
Mrs. Hoofa Williams Is Admittedly
the Most Original of All the
British Hostesses.
Initiates the Members of the Social
World Into the Joys of Res
taurant Dining.
Transforms an Old-Fashioned Cottage
Into a Tea House and Enter
tains Royalty There.

LONDON, May 4--Nrs. Hwfa Will
hams has long occupied a unique posi-
ton In smart society. On one occasion
when she had a quarrel with her dress
maker which was brought into court,
the barrister cross-examining elected
from her husband, Capt T. A. Hwfa
Williams, the information that she is
undoubtedly one Of the principal lead
ers Of the great world" Captain VII
narns was for some time the CHIEF
organizer Of the fashionable Sandown
Park races, and he knows everybody
Of importance in sporting circles. His
wife knows, on her side, everybody OF
Importance in society. She is admit
tedly the most original Of British hos
tesses, and dull people who cannot
think OF anything fresh for the amuse-
ment Of their guo~ts always come to
her for advice She was the first OF
the London fashionable danes to real
1ze that a certain diversity in the ordi-
nary type Of entertainments would be
welcome and introduced the small din
ner dances which have since become
so popular She also initiated the
smart set in the joys Of restaurant
dining, which had previously only been
considered permissible In raris.
During the years that the popular
couple lived in Great Cumberland
Place, London, they entertained every
body who amounted to anything from
royalty downwards. A couple Of years
ago she came to the conclusion that
London life was really too exhausting
some folks say she found its smoky
atmosphere was playing havoc with
her brilliantly fair complexion-and
took TO a rustic paradise which she has
fitted up with elaborate variety She
modestly calls it a cottage but it is in
reality a miniature palace Of wonders.
There is a Japanese room in this
charming house Of hers at Coombe
Springs and also an Indian room The
blue dishes which give q homely look
to an old oak dresser are made Of the
rarest china one can buy. One of the
most interesting features of the little
estate Is the tea-house. 1t was once
a seventeenth century laborer's dwell
ing. Mrs. Hwfa Williams has recon-
structed it, in q way that still pre-
serves its quaint old world air, and
surrounded it with an old-fashioned
cottage garden of the sort one oftener
reads about than actually sees. All
the furniture In the rooms has been

 "Our western forest policy is based upon meeting the wishes of the best public sentiment of the whole west. It proposes to create new reserves where ever forest lands still vacant are found in the public domain and to give the reserves already made the highest possible usefulness to all the people. So far, our promises to the people in regard to 1t have all been made good and have faith that this policy will be carried to successful completion, be- cause believe that the people are be hind 1t.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Opens at Boise City, ldahs. Monday. Mere Than a Thousand Delegates
 Present

NAASASNAAA representing about half of the states of the union were present Monday when the National Irrigation Congress assem- bled for its fourteenth annual session. Califonia's delegation of about sixty was third In point of numbers.
 Vice-President Fairbanks. who ar rived at Boise before daylight Monday morning, was escorted to the theater sn Riverside Park at Il o'clock and received a hearty welcome. the audi ence standing and applauding for fully a minute.
 Immediately after the arrival of the Vice-President the congress was called to order by L. w. Shurtleff. of Ogden, Utah, first vlce-president. George C. Pardee, of California, president of the congress, was detained in California and was not present.
 James A. Pinney. mayor of Boise, and Gov. Frank R. Gooding welcomed the delegates to the capital Of the Gem state. Gov. Goodlng spoke at some length of the several great irrigation projects now in course of completion in Idaho.
 The convention was reused to ap- plause when Gov. Gooding referred to President Roosevelt, stating that 1t was at St. Anthony. in the state of Idaho, where the president six years ago made his first promise to the west to give his support to the movement for the enactment of a national recla- mation law. The great irrigation works in Idaho now nearing completion, he said, were the fruitlon of this promise made the president.
 On behalf of the congress brief  speeches were made by United States Senator Carter, of Montana. and Gov. George E. Chamberlain. of Oregon. Clifford Pinchot, of Washington. chief of the Forestry Department, of the Department of Agriculture. who was announced as the bearer of letter of greeting to the congress from Presl- dent Roosevelt, was introduced.
 President Roosevelt's letter follows:
 THE PRESIDENTS LETTER
 "To the officers and members of the Irrigation Congress, Boise. Idaho:
 Operations under the Reclamation Act, which signed on June l7, 1902, have been carried on energetically dur ing the four years since that date
 Construction is already well advanc- ed on twenty three great enter rprises in the arid states and territories. Over 100000 acres of land have been laid out for irrigation and of this 100000 acres are now under ditch. 800 miles of canals and ditches and 3O.OOO feet of tunnel have been completed and l6,- 100000 cubic yards of earth and B. 100000 cubic yards of rock have been moved.
 Detailed typographical surveys have been extended over 10000 square miles of country within which the rec Iamation work is located and 10000 miles of levels have been run. To bring all the projects to this point will require upward of $4O,OOO.OOO, which amount, it is estimated, will be avail able from the receipts from the dis posal of public lands for the years 1907 and 1908.

Speculation in lands reclaimed by the government must be checked at whatever cost. The object of the rec lamation act is not to make money, but to make homes. Therefore, the requirement of the reclamation act that the size of the farm unit shall be limited in each region to the part which will comfortably support one family. must be enforced in letter and in spirit.
 MONEY TO BE RETURNED
 You should, and doubt not that you will. give your effectual support to the officers of the government in mak- ing the reclamation law successful in all respects. and particularly in getting back the original investment, so that the money may be used again in the completion of other projects and thus in the extension of prosperity in the west.
 By the side of the reclamation ser vice there has been grown up another service of not less interest and value to you of the west. This is the forest service, which was created when the charge of the forest reserves was trans ferred from the interior department to the department of agriculture. The forest policy of the administration, which the forest service Is engaged in carrying out, Is based, as have often said, on the vigorous purpose to make every resource of the forest reserves, contribute in the highest degree to the permanent prosperity of the people who depend upon them.
 CARE FOR THE FOREST
 If ever the time should come when the western forests are destroyed, there will disappear with them the prosperity of the stockman, the miner, the lum- Der man and the railroads, and. most important of all, the small ranchman, who cultivates his own land know that you are with me in the intention to preserve the timber, the water and the grass by using them fully but wisely and conservatlvely. We propose to do this through the freest and most cordial cooperation between the gov ernment and every man who Is in sym pathy with this policy. the wisdom of which no man who knows the facts can for moment doubt.
 The long standing and formerly bit ter differences between the stockmen and the forest officers are nearly all settled, Those which remain are in process of settlement.
 The sales of forest reserve timber to settlers. miners. lumbermen and other users are increasing very rapidly and in that way, also, the reserves are successfully meeting growing need.
 LANDS OPENING RAPIDLY
 Lands in the forest reserves that are more valuable for agriculture than for forest purposes are being opened to settlement and entry as fast as their agricultural character can be ascer- tained. There is, therefore, no longer excuse for saying that reserves retard the legitimate settlements and devel- opment of the country.
 "On the contrary, they promote and sustain that development and they will do so in no way more powerfully than through their direct contributions to the schools and roads. Ten per cent. of all the money received from the

DANGER IN CREED

The pressing danger just now springs from the desire of nearly every man to get and hold as much land as he can, whether he can handle it profitably or not and whether or not it is for the in terest of the community that he should have it. The prosperity of the present irrigated areas came from the subdivis- ion of the land and the consequent in tensive cultivation. With an adequate supply of water farm of five acres in some parts of the arid west or of forty acres elsewhere, is as large as may be successfully titled by one family. When therefore, a man attempts to hold l6O acres of land completely irrigated by government work. he is preventing oth- CTS from acquiring home and Is ac-

The Mystery Solved

The mysterious party in charge of Jack Dalton and Surveyor Me- Pherson, which passed through town during the winter, and which was supposed to be going on a stampede, proves to have been a party in the employ of the Copper River Railway. They went to Ton sina and thence down Copper river to make rough survey of that route, landing at Eyak after very rough trip. They were on Copper river during the extreme cold weather, and lost several dogs, al though the men all got through safely.

On April 24 John La- Brant, better known as Taku John, and a native woman, Stephanita, were marride, and the following evening Gus Wilson and Sofia were welded. The ceremony, which is much the same as the Catholic marriage service, was performed at the church by Father Methodius.
