While the chamber was settling on what
action should be taken in respect to the
communication, Thomas Cochran, Jr., asked
whether the report of the shutting down or
removal of the distillery WEI tr1e adding,
i am sorry to see that 50 much of the pros

upon the distillery." Mr.. d. r. Moves re-
piled that the distillery had changed hands,
but was to be operated for two years. al
though only at two-thlrds of its capacity.
The profit derived from feeding stock at the
distillery, he said, could doubtless be made

and the subject was dropped.
Senator e. K. Davis, who was present,
was asked to give some information con-
corning measures now before congress af-
tecting the interests of the Northwest. Mr..
Davis said there were two bills now pend
ing in which the citizens of St. Paul are
especially interested.
These" he continued, "are the bills pro-
viding for public building at st. Paul,
and for Improvements at the SauIt Ste.
Marie rapids. The bill making an appro-
priation Tor the pubic building readily
passed the senate, but when it reached the
house the amount of the appropriation was
cut down to $500, 900. This was due to the
extremely large number of places asking
for public buildings. When the bill gor>

pleasure to state, in this connection, that

Loyalty for the measure. 1t has been a
source of great anxiety to him, and the
scaling down of the amount was a keen
disappointment"
Regarding the 500 improvement bill,
there was no trouble in getting it through
the senate. found that most Of the mem
bers were not fully alive to it's importance.
They did not recognize the fact that the
500 canal is the most important artificial
waterway in the country. When this
was made plain, there was but little oppo-
sition. In the house there was much the
same condition of affairs regarding the
knowledge of the importance of the canal.
think, however, that the bill will pass the
house. We are aided by the delegations
from all the states directly affected by it.
Besides, we have the States of California,
Colorado and the Southwestern states, in
return for aid in getting an appropriation
to improve Galveston harbor, an improve
ment which bears about the same relation
to those states that the 500 does to the
Northwest.
