Helena, Mont., Jan. 3. The Mont ana 'legislature to convene here Monday is expected to make for it self an important place in the history of the State. Measures of much weight will be brought before the new legislature, chief among which will be woman s suffrage bill, a comprehen sive road law, provision for direct primaries, presidential preference primaries, and a limitation upon the expenses of the candidates, and hills dealings with reform in the methods of taxation, the conservation of wa ter power, and a closes supervision over mining and other investment enterprises. The Democrats will be in control of both houses of the legislature, which means that a Democrat will be elected to the United States Senate to succeed Joseph M. Dixon, the Progressive Republican leader who directed tbe Roosevelt presidential campaign. The choice for the sena torship is T. J. Walsh, a wealthy Helena lawyer. Mr. Walsh has as pired to the senatorship ever since th days of the late "Tom" Carter. Several years ago he was an unsuc cessful candidate for Congress. note than the average comedy-drama. The scene is laid in the backwoods of Michigan and the time is supposed to he lS'Jtl, but the play is construct ed on a human hack-ground, in its exhibition of emotions and passions is not confined to time nor place. The chief merit of the production lies in the laying bare of the heart of Neam ata, a young girl of Kuropean parent age, who lias been brought up in an nilian wigwam, and believes herself to he ol savaue de.vent. Her love s entirely unsophisticated yet capa ile, in the crisis of her life, of su preme seir-aonegation. 1 lie part is intense and full of fire, yet quaint and appealing. The play is notable, too, for the sheer beauty of its lines Each sent ence comes out clear and accurate, and careful listening would be at fault to detect any awkward or care less expression.
