Senator Fulton finds thore is general misunderstanding in Oregon as to what appropriation was actually made In the river and harbor bill for improving the mouth of the Columbia River.

As the bijl passed the House, If carried 3uu,uuu oasn ana auwonzeu on aaui- tlonal $300,000 in the next sundry civil bill.

When the bill was being consid ered in the Senate, bo offered and secured the adoption of an amendment increasing tho cash appropriation to $450,000. The bill then went to conference and Chair man Burton ondeavorod to restore the House appropriation, but the Senate conferees would not consent A com promise was finally reached, and $50,000, one-third of the amount added by the Senate, was cut oft.

A. Neale Martin .Charles TV. York; There was a change of bill at the Co lumbia last night, when "Old Heidelberg" gave way to the well-known Bronson Howard comedy "Aristocracy." After costume romance for a week and a half it was almost startling to see Howard Gould in the sudden transition from a lovelorn Prince In uniform to a hardheaded Amer ican millionaire, in business togs. Cather ine Countlss changed from the humble, girlish Kathle to a dignified young ma tron in perhaps the most stunning gowns she has worn this season. The alteration of almost every member of the company was almost equally startling. Mr. Gould and Miss Countlss as Jefferson Stockton and his young wife, respectively, were most happy. Mr. Gould's straightforward directness and repose fitted into the part splendidly, while Miss Countlss in the best situation of tho plaj-, when she tells tho rake Haldenwald that American hus bands "Just kill," for that moment was superb. Fay Wallace, who has been out of the cast for somo time, gave a de lightful performance. Scott Seaton was very successful with his role. William Dills roado his English Marquis amusing without being too broad a caricature; Donald Bowlos and Georgo Bloomquost did their bits well, as did George Berrell and the various others. Charles York de serves special mention for playing tho thinking role of tho butler so satisfactor ily, and William Bernard as tho "heavy" conceived and acted the role tolerably. Miss Douglas was effective at times, and Miss Allen gave "another of her careful performances. Tho play was mounted well enough and deserves a successful run. Bispham Concert "Lungi, Del Caro Bene" (Seech I); "Chanson Anclenne" (Sausay); "O Ruddier Than the Cherry" (Handel); "The Monlt" (Meyerbeer): "Seng to tho Evening Star" (Wagner); "Atte- rlch'a Curse" (Wagner); "The Page's Soog" (Verdi); Prologue from "II Pagllaoel" (Leon cavallo); "Speak, Music" (Elgar); "Johaen" (Stanford); "Edward" (Loewe); "Four Songs of tho Hill" (Ronald); "Drink to Mo Only" (Old Engllsa); "The Pretty English" (Storace): "Who Knows?" (Helnrlcb); "Danny Deever" (Damroech). David Bispham is a lucky Quaker! He Is also a charming baritone singer, actor and dramatic lecturer. Born in Phila delphia, Pa-, January 5. 1S67. he is 45 years old and is today not only the best Txnown American baritone, but he pos sesses an enviable European artistic rep utation. Last night he was the soloist at a concert given at the Marquam The atcr. under the direction of Misses Lois Steers and Wynn Coman, and by the dra matic art he Infused Into his singing he more than won the large audience. But Mr. Bispham was undoubtedly suf fering from the effects of a slight cold. Most singers would have asked their man ager to stop forward to the footlights and ask tho Indulgence of the audience as Mr. -was suffering from throat trou ble. But not so Mr. Bispham. His voice was not as clear as the proverbial bell. but ho summoned his powers as an actor to his aid. and without costume, without scenery, he acted many of his songs and in them lived over again tho lives of the characters. This Is true of his Scotch song, "Edward," and Kipling's "Danny Deever and others. There are more pow erful baritone voices on tho stage today than that possessed by Mr. Bispham, but who can surpass htm In exquisite cxpres si on, finish and acting? He had many en cores offered him, but only accepted two "Hark, Hark, tho Lark" (Schubert) and "Eln Ton" (Cornelius). Harold O. Smith. formerly of Cleveland, O., and now of New York City, is a capable accompanist. J. M. AL HERFOUD TAKES A BRIDE Manager of Joe Gans Wedded to Pretty Actress. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 9.

Burns was indignant about the story 'that Referee Carroll told the angry crowd after the fight, which was to the effect that Burns had told him that he did not want to win the fight on a fouL "I would have been foolish, said Tommy last night, "to make such a statement. If I had won the fight jn a foul, which I was entitled to. because Sullivan was constantly fouling me, or if Carroll had given me tbe decision at the end of the 20 rounds, as he should- have done, only one man stood between me and the disputed middle-weight cham pionship. Carroll knows I did no tell him to make any such an announcement. Carroll made this statement and called tbe fight a draw, because he wanted to rematch us. .

Big Irrigation Ditch Will Reclaim .13,000 Acres of the vC'hoicest Land In tha Northwest. About nine months ago the Snake River Irrigation Company,- a corporation com posed of prominent Portland people, be gan the development of an enormous water power at Five Mile Rapids on Snake River, for the purpose of raising water by means of large centrifugal pumps, connected in huge water wheels by 'which, to raise water to redlaim valuable arid lands. The construction of the gigantic undertaking Is rapidly n ear ing completion, 'and under on of tho com pany's ditches is opening up the town of Two Rivers. The town of Two Rivers is beautifully located fivo miles north of Wallula. In Western Walla Walla County, Wash. The townsite is laid out about half way be tween the Northern Pacific and the O. R. & N. tracks, near both roads. It de rives its name from tho close prox imity to two of tho largest rivers in the United States, namely, the Snake and the Columbia, being situated ono mllo distant from tho latter. A hotel, livery stable and several resi dences are finished and occupied, and other dwellings aro under course of construction. A large school will be erected in the near future; business in terests of all kinds will soon bo repre sented, which Is the natural outgrowth of a large settlement of this nature, to accomodate the people who will occupy the lands which are selling In tracts of 5, 10, 20 and 40 acres. The completion early this Spring of the big ditch of the Snake River Irrigation Company will reclaim some 13.000 acres of the choicest lands in the Northwest, which will furnish an unfailing supply of water throughout all time. This fact needs no confirmation to anyono at all familiar with the rapidity and depth of the Snake River. Water will be turned on the entire length of the ditch at an early date. The soil is rich, volcanic ash. free from stones; varying in depth from three to 50 feet; resembling in character that of Lewiston and Clarkson, which has made those districts so famous. Tho warm, sandy, fertile soil, lying as it does, with the southerly slope, insures very early crops, fully two "weeks ahead of any other section north, of Los An geles. On account of location it is particularly adapted to tho growing of fruits, such, as apples, peaches, plums, cherries, apri cots, grapes, and all berries and other fruits of the temperate zone, as well as early vegetables. Alfalfa grown on theso lands yields from five to six crops a year, owing to tbe unusual length of the season, in somo Instances producing twelve tons per acre.
