"Wife for Wife"

At the Orpheum tonight La Belle
Marie will be put on for the last
time This play has been successful
ly given by the stock company in
the popular playhouse since Sunday
night and has pleased a large audi
ence. 1t is a play seldom attempted
by stock companies. The characters
are difficult of Interpretation and hard
to render, but the Binnard company
has handled the play in way which
could not be criticised had they been
one night company playing to higl
priced house.
Beginning tomorrow night, the
clever little comedy Wife for Wife"
will be put on. This is a piece sparkl-
ing with humor and pretty situations
and while not as heavy as the piece
now on, is one which is sure to please
and is worth the while to see.

MUST MAINTAIN
PACIFIC FLEET
CONGRESSMAN WILL ASK FOR
FOUR MORE BATTLESHIPS
FOR NAVY.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Congress-
man Roberts of Massachusetts,, who,
with other members of the naval COM
mittee is investigating the needs Of
the Brooklyn navy yard, said that the
trip of the battleships via Magellan is
for tactical reasons alone. Said he:
I'VE all believe the Suez route is
easier and cheaper, but their going by
a hard route will determine some of
our needs in the Pacific, particularly in
the matter of cOaling stations and the
mainland. l have not the slightest
doubt that million dollars will be
used up in the Pacific route, but if
the naval attractions wish to deter
mine certain things, now is the time"
Representative Foss, chairman of
the committee, said the committee
would probably ask congress to au-
thorize four more battleships, and he
added:
1--WE may as we'll make up our
minds now that it is necessary to
maintain a large fleet in the Pacific.
Our interests are too great on that
coast to do otherwise"

made most emphatic hit the Chicago
Press records: This play is a rari-
'ty in the melodramatic field. While
Astounding in sensational scenes and
situations, the text of the story is
never lost sight of. 1t tells a story
straight, direct and natural, interpre-
ted by the best company ever in the
field of melodrama. A play whose sit
uations are so strong and natural,
whose men and women love and hate
like men and women in real life, whose
temptations and ambitions are like uL-
to our own that you forget that you
are sitting in a comfortable opera
chair gazing at a story of mimic life,
but feel that you are looking at a
page of life itself This sterling play
is packing the theaters nightly and
that it will continue to do so for years
to come is a foregone conclusion.
This mammoth production in it's en-
tirety will hold the stage of the Key
lor Grand on Sept. 1 and 2.

merely resting in the cracks.
"Track ran in wave before heavy

from two to four inches as the wheels
passed over them.
MANY ties so loose that stepping
on one end would cause far end to rise

The question as to whether the rail-
road commission Of Washington at

what the Spokesman-Review alleges
to be true Immediately following the

the track between Colbert and Elm
and he testified before the commission
that only one curve was found to be
wide-gauged and that the spikes were
all we'll driven and right up against
the rail.
This may be a case dependent upon
expert testimony, the worthlessness OF
which is admitted. 1t may be argued
that the Review has il

NAV be something in the charge, but
even if it has it seems incredible that
a big newspaper would descend to
such an ignoble method of getting

false: if his report is true that of the
representative of the Spokesman-Re
view is false The people, not only
of Washington, but of the entire
country, demand rigid investigator

Oscar Cain predicted in an editorial
written for an evening paper, at the
time the new management took charge
of The Statesman, that we would soon
be acting as undertakers and presid-
ing at the obsequies of this paper but
from the appreciation being shown by
the public and the business men it
would appear that the funeral has been
indefinitely postponed The people
realize that The Statesman publishes
more local news than all the other
papers and that the news is given cor
rectly without the injection of any pc
litical animosities and that the news
is clean and correct. The business
men realize that The Statesman reach

best results to its advertisers.

ADJUSTMENTS
"FoR MOTHERS SAKE"

OF the hundreds of books, musical
compositions and plays launched each
year not over three genuine successes
in the respective fields are ever found
oftentimes less than that number.
Last season was a particularly
noted one for failures in the 'theat-
rical field. But from the slough OF
failures one dramatic effort of such
extraordinary and successful proper
tons as to call for more than passing
comment.

FAIL CLOTHES
OF MANY COL0Rs
STYLES SHOWN AT GARMENT Ex-
HIBlTION LOOK LIKE ADJ
vERTISEMENTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The latest
wrinkle in glad raiment is to be blue
evening clothes. The man who, in the
coming fall and winter, expects to ap-
proach anywhere near the real thing"
will have ito array himself night IN
a dark blue claw hammer.
At the annual garment and style ex-
hibit, which opened yesterday, tYo-
thirds of the evening suits on exhi-
bition are made of blue worsted. The
material is dark and in certain lights
cannot be distinguished from blacl
Other interesting things can Lo seen
at the exhibition besides the blue
evening clothes. The forms on which
hang the clothes that New York ought
an wear and probably won't look much
like the wardrobe of a vaudeville slap
stick artist or a Dutch com diam The
colors range anywhere from cream
brown to Nile green.
For instance, there is an overcoat
which the exhibitors prophesy will be
popular in the fall. Anyone who ap-
peared on Broadway a year ago wear
ing that coat would have been followed
for blocks by a mob anxious to see
what he was advertising. The mater
ial is slightly darker than white fan
mel, and has foot and a half plaid of
three-inch chrome brown stripes. Then
there is another ov-rcoat, supposed to
be Englis tweed. The cloth contains
touch of every color in the rainbow.
| If New York should adopt the styles
set forth, Broadway this winter will
look like carnival of boomers for a
comic opera costumer. There is one
consolation, however in the exhibit.
Those who were worried last year over
the dictum from the tailors' conven-
ton that men really must wear cor
sets need not worry longer. The sack
Goat of many colors will be cut full,
and there will be absolutely no need
for any artificial repression
There are other styles coming back.
The man who has kept a paddock
overcoat in a mothball tomb for two
years can get it out again this winter.
The slit back coat will be quite the
thing. OF course, there will be the
straight-b coat, but he who pre-
fers this style must have it made with
Caruso pockets. This is not a gratui-
tous slap at the great tenor The long
perpendicular slit pockets which go "an
the way through are now designated
by the trade in this manner.
incidentally, if you want a long, full
back coat with a belt you must have
the side seams creased like razors and
the material of which it is made must
vie in splendor with the multi-colored
coat of Joseph.
Sack coats will be cut much shorter
this winter, and (rerish the thought)
1t is limited that before long the dear
old coats of your college days, which
ended just below your belt. will be back
again. And Raglan shoulders-that is.
the shoulders that We're not shoulders
at all-are also to return Pads must
be thrown away, for coats this year
will be cut just as wide as the wearer
and no wider.

WHAT THEY THINK OF Us IN
MONTANA.

Washington has a railroad COM
mission. Does that commission attend
to its duties further than drawing
salary and per diem? This question is
asked in view of a report made to
the SpokesmaL-Review by a special
representative employed by that news
paper to inspect the Great Northern
track from Colbert Junction to Elk
a distance of 10 miles. Recently there
was a disastrous wreck on the Great
Northern near Milan. in which many
persons We're injured. 1t was charged
by some of the passengers in that
wreck that ii was due to rotten ties.
the road. SO many complaints were
made about that stretch of track be-
ing unsafe that the Spokesman-Re-
view employed a man to investigate
and if his findings can be substantial
ed a criminal action must lie against
the Great Northern. If il can not, the
railroad has a case against the
Spokesman Review and would have
no difficulty in securing heavy dam
ages if the case were placed in the
hands of fair jury. 1t does not stand
TO reason that the newspaper would
be so blind as to make the startling
charges it has unless they can be
substantiated. The findings of the
newspaper representative are:
"Twenty-one rails selected at ran
dam showed 335 spikes out of a total
of CSC TO be either not touching rail
at all. or to have worked up until the
head was clear of rail base. This is
nearly so per cent of loose spikes
Tiles examined under 90 rails Sc

Orders Work Stopped.

The Board of State Capitol Com missioners has decided to take no steps at present toward having the supreme court pass upon the points involved in the opinion of the attor- ney general, notwithstanding the fact that the commissioners are reported to concur in the belief that the attor. ney general has made a mistake in his construction of the law. Neither will the Board make any request for special session of the legisla- ture. The idea of testing the attor' ney generals opinion in the courts was rejected by the Commission because there are no public funds available for defraying the costs of the litigation.
 In the event of the state audi tor and state treasurer refusing to honor warrants against the school and pension funds, it is thought Governor Pindall will be forced to yield to the pressure and convene the legislature in special session to remove the dis abilities which affect these funds. In  that event, the restrictions will also be removed from the capitol fund so that work may be resumed. After due consideration of the matter the Board decided to instruct the contractors 10 discontinue construction work on the new capitol until funds became avail able for payment.
 As a forlorn hope, the capitol com missioners in their instructions to the capitol contractors suggest that they continue with the work of building, promising that if they do, the commis- sioners will urge the legislature to pay all bills that may be rendered 10 the commission, and which the com mission audits and alulows. As the contractors are now owed nearly s100,O00. and as the cost of enclosing the building so that it would be pro tected against the weather would be S75 .000 more, it is not believed that the contractors will give the sugges- tion much consideration.

Saline May Be Improved.

United States engineers have just completed all examination of the Saline river. starting in about 90 miles below Benton The government sur veys name the Saline river as navi- gable stream, and that it is so con sidered by the railroads is shown by the fact that the Rock Island is build ing drawbridge across 1t about eleven miles west of Crossett. The government engineers who made the examination express surprise to find the Saline possessed such a head of water. They found stretches in the river about four miles long in which the average depth of water is about 12 feet The river is badly clogged in many places, but it appears as II the clearing of the channel would render a fairly good head of water at most seasons of the year.
