Discussed Forest Reserves.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Chin.
csc boycott and the administr alton of
the forest reserves divided the atten.
ton Of the senate today. Mr.. Hepburn
raised the question regarding the res.
ervations for forests. He sharply cri-
ticised the methods of the forestry
bureau, aud charged it with maintain.
ing a press bureau for the purpose of
attacking him. He declined, however,
to hold the president responsible for
this course. He said tina It the course
was calculated to retard the develop.
ment of the west. Mr.. Dubois took a
contrary view, defending the policy
pursued, and %contendiug that It was
in the intrest of the arid region.
Mr.. Hepburn addressed the senate
in support of his bill to compensate
states for school lands taken posses.
sion of by the national government
for forest purposes. He said that con-
gress had surrendered it constitutional
right to control the public lands EN-.
braced within the forest reserv ations,
and that the administration of the res.
ervations is of such q character as to
force the conviction that the time has
arrived for congress to resume its
guardianship.

Believe Riel Is Alive.

Local residents who were acquainted
with Louis Riel, leader of the Cana.
dian half breed rebellion in 1885, are
amused over a dispatch from Winni-
peg which says many of Riel's former
friends believe he is still alive. 1t ia
remembered by old timers that Riel
passed through this city on his way
north to lead the halfbreed revolt, that
after several weeks of desperate fight.
ing the rebellion was crushed, that
Riel "a captured and condemned to
death for treason, and that he was
hanged at Regina, N. w. 7. The dis
patch to which reference is made,
says:
There are in Manitoba today thous.
ands of half breeds who believe that
Louis Riel, leader of the Northwest
rebellion in 1885, was not hanged until
dead, but that he Is alive and W q
large ranch in Wyoming, where he Is
known under another name. The ILL.,
ness Of Riel's mother, which may mean
her death any day, has revived the
rumors which have been current for
the past few years, and it would not
prove much of a surprise to many II
Louis Riel puts in an appearance at
the deathbed Of his mother, in fact,
many go so far as to expect him and
claim that the authorities would do
nothing to him, as he is legally dead.
Another instance that the government
has let the whole subject Of the rebel.

Big Canal In the Bitter Root.

M1ssorLA, Jan. 27.-Samuel Dins.
more, of Missouls, has returned from
. trip through the Bitter Root valley,
where, in company with A. Dearly, OF
Rockford. Ill.,, representing eastern
capitalists. he inspected the route of
the proposed irrigation ditch of the
Dinsmore Irrigation and Development
company. Mr.. Dinsmore states posi-
lively that work on the canal will be
begun as 5000 as spring opens.
The canal will be one of the largest
irrigation enterprises in the west. It
will be between 70 and so miles in
length, and will make possible the re.
claiming of many thousands Of acres
OF land now considered practically
worthless. The work will be let by
contract, and between 1000 and 1900
meu and as many teams will be EN-.
ployed. Several contractors have al.
ready looked over the ground, among
them being A. w. Macarthur, who was
connected with the construction of the
big subway in New York and with
large excavation enterprises in Chi.
cago.
The canal will be started from the
Bitter Root river, about Ave miles
south OF Darby, and will be extended
to v the bench lands of the three
mile and eight mile country in Ravalli
county. 1t will carry 10000 cubic
inches Of water and will irrigate about
10000 acres. The Dinsmore Irriga.
ton & Development company is CAPT
talized for 50, 200, 900, and the canal
will cost about 81, 800, 900. The com.
pany's headquarters will be estab.
lished ia Hamilton.

THE TITLE MART"

Theater-gOers the country over re- member J. C. Duff of the old Duff op
 era company days. When Winston Churchil's new play. ''The Title Mart" is presented at Polls Friday evening, it will be under the management of Mir Duff. which in itself is an assurance that the comedy will be presented in the very best form, The critic of the Boston Transcript had the following to say. after the initial production of "Tbe Title Mart: "The talk has wit, humor and incidental satiric twang that sometimes nips an English and sometimes an American foible. It is talk of civilized and polite world. not the dialect of farce or of the theater. It suits the characters and it flows often out of the action. Best of all, brightness of speech. humor of char acter and quiet fun of situation rise steadily to the close of the play. It ends gaily with third act that is amusing throughout. There and else where The Title Mart is a farce for the intelligent. the refined and the quick minded. It is they of our Amer ican public that like such entertain ment most and receive it least" Prices are %. 50. 75. S1 and s1.5O. Sale of seats Thursday. Telephone 116-2.

WILLIAM GILLETTE.

Not the least of the many charms of William Gillette's new comedy drama, "Clarice,'- which Charles Frohman presents at Polls on Wednesday mighty is that almost indescribabe quality of atmosphere" The illusion in the play is perfect. You hear the bees and the birds, not loudly, for the dialogue of the play is continued at the time. but with absolute fidelity to nature. You kDoW that it is warm summers day somehow and when you hear faintly in the far distance the rumble of the railway train and the muffied blowing of the whistle you are not in theater witnessing play, but rather in a sleepy South Carolina village where the arrival of the midday train is an event. Nothing in the world would convince you at the time that all these effects" are just mechanical, limitations of nature devised and carried out un- der the instructions of Mir Gillette. The actOr-author often spends an hour or two in the old place still and among the treasures that recall his boyhood days none has a stronger place in his affections than the little engine in which be took so much pride. Prices for "Clarice" are s. S1.5O. s1. 5O and 9 cents. No free list. Telephone 116-2.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It can be said without fear of hurt ing anyone's feelings that the show at the Jacques this week is far above the standard even for this amusement shop and anyone wbo takes it in will be amply repaid for the expenditure of the time and money. Rossow's Midgets are the headliners in nama. but they are hard pressed for tb. bonors by Eddie Leonard and the Sharp Brothers. The little men do the same astonishing feats of strength that have made their act an eye. opener here before ant, they close their contribution with a boxing bout that is corker. It is slam bang affair from the tap of the gong to the punch that puts tha larger of the two glove comedians into Dopeville and enough wallops are handed out to make Il bat. tic between heavy weights look in cUm- parisou like chess match. Eddie Leonard. the minstrel man. and the Sharp Brothers carted of the honors of the bin last night without much ei- fort and the house rocked to the foun. dations with the applause which greet ed the splendid work of the perform. CTS. Leonard never showed his gsnn- inc talents as an entertainer in better form than last night and bis SongS. treated with liberal dashes of his pe culiarly unctuous style. went like wild fire.

the resolution was great surprise 10 even the oldest members of the senate.
 Apparently the senator's action was unexpected on the part of majority of senators, and they listened attentively as the reading of the rather long pre- amble progressed. evidently not a little concerned as to what should come next. MT. Patterson made no. effort to secure the privilege of discussing the resolu- ton at the time, but gave notice that he would address the senate upon it at the first available opportunity.
 It Is expected that the Democrats generally will resist the adoption of the resolution and that the Republican sen ators will sustain MT. Patterson's con tentions. Aside from the personal in terest in Mir. Patterson's political for tunes the resolution raises a new ques- ton as to the rights of senators gener- ally, so that there is much scope for animated discussion and wide margin for difference of opinion. In all proba- bility several days will elapse before the question is settled.
 Considerable fault was found with the railroad rate bill in the house. con- sidering the fact that it is the measure of both parties. Mir. Littlefeld (Me.D opened the day with whirlwind speech. in which he pointed out the drastic and far reaching effect of the provisions. The committee. he said, had gone much farther than the presi- dent had recommended and much far. ther than he was willing to go. He will not vote for the bill
