From CORPORATIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-The

livened when Mr.. Randell. (Texas)
wanted the speaker to appoint a Judi
ciary committee to consider bills
prohibiting members Of congress and
court officers from accepting gifts or
employment from corporations.
trusts or persons interested in legis-
!ation.
Mr.. Randell declared that the op-
ronents of such legislation had not
only succeeded in preventing the pas
sage of a law of that character, bu-
even suppressed discussion CT such
measures on the floor of the house.
Hooking the facts squarely in the
face" he said, "the conclusion forced
upon us causes a blush to mantle the
cheek of every patriot and self re-
specting man No man. he said,
could serve two masters. Il
was. he continued. % pitiahle, but
uncontrovertible fact that the dis
interested and faithful servants OF
the people are helpless "in the pres
n contest against the organized
plunderers of the na1ion's wealth."
He declared that the benefciaries
of special interests entrenc1ed in
power and firmly combined with the
dominant political party. openly de-
rided the American people and brut-
ally demanded the pound of flesh.
Should the committee be appointed.
he said, there could be passed a law
that would sever the connection, Of
the servants of the people from the
interests that now controls the
United States.
If officers. agents. representatives
and attorneys or parties interested in
legislation are forced to cease such
employment or are driven from the
halls of CONGRESS. a tariff hill could
be passed, he said, End legislation
eroctod consistent with the rights.

NEW BOAT ON UPPER MISSOURI.
Launching Of the Baby Rose Expected
to Help Country's Settlement.

Fort Benton.-The completion of
the steamboat Baby Rose at this point
has revived interest in navigation on
the upper Missouri. 1t is expected
the boat will do a good business on
the four hundred and more miles of
the river between this place and Cul-
bertson, and materially aid in the set
tiement of much land which has been
difficult of access.
A long stretch of the river lies
about equidistant from the Northern
Pacific on the south and the Great
Northern On the north, and the con-
formation of the country is such that
1t is not probable a railroad will soon
enter it. There is much valuable land
along the river which will no doubt
be taken if river communication is
again restored.
The Baby Rose is II feet long. stern
wheel, eighty horsepower. She is
built with very little superstructure,
in order to avoid the danger of heavy
wind. 1t is proposed to use her prin.
"ipally for towing barges.

Butte.-Application was made to

to permit the establishment of another
racing park in this county. it being
the intention of the promoters to have
another thirty days of racing, follow
ing the close of the meeting of the
Butte Jockey Club.
The application was made BY Abe
Cohn and Harry Rose, who maintain
that under the statute allowing thirty
days of racing in counties of the first
class, the act limits the thirty days to
one enclosure under the control of
one association. This, they maintain,
will be another enclosure and under
the management Of a different COM
pany than the Butte Jockey Club.

NEW YORK sALoME MAD

There is not a theater in New York
that advertises a Salome dance that is
not packed to the doors nightly.
The craze, and it may be justly
called craze, started with the an
nouncement of the coming of Maud
Allen from England to America to
dance her Salome dance, made famous
by the approval of King Edward and
royalty. Miss Gertrude Hoffman, an
American actress, anticipated Miss
Aliens coming, and early in the sum-
mer offered at Hammerstein 3 Victoria
theater her "Vision of Salome." Her
efforts were rewarded with crowded
houses. Then Miss Eva Tanguay pro-
duced at the Alhambra a dance called
"The kemorse of Salome' and caught
the town. Then Miss Lotta Faust, at
the Casino, danced herself into promi-
nenee and reaped her predecessors
rewards. Criticism ran high as to
who was the most effective. It was q
common thing to hear men and women
on the streetcars, in the hotels and at
the theaters discussing the merits and
demerits of his or her favorite Salome
dance.
AT benefit for the sick babies,
given at New York theater this sum
mer, Miss Luella Morey was called up
on to participate and she gave as her
part of the performance, the Salome
dance she uses in Clarence Bennett 3

OPERATIONS

Wednesday evening Nancy Bros &
Company's steam shovel arrived from
Elko, accompanied by force of about
rs men. The original plan of bring
ing the machine down Bridge street
and conveying it over the Humboldt
river on temporary bridge was aban-
doned as being inexpedient. 1t is now
being taken around by way of the
Western Pacific bridge, and it is ex-
pected that it will be in position at the
scene of it's future operations by the
middle of next week.
Construction work along the line of
the Humboldt division, which was in
terrupted by the high water of the
first part of the month, is being rap
idly resumed. Track klaying was sus-
pended four miles this side of Elko
on the Sd, owing to the fact that the
frost leaving the ground had left the
roadbed in bad condition. However,
strip of five miles has been put in
readiness, and it is expected that the
laying of steel will be resumed in about
a week.
