CONGRESSMAN BANKHEAD
Holds to His Former opinion That July Will Find Congress in Ssssion-Dem- oeratic Tactics on the Ding
 ley Bill.

Congressman J. H. Bankhead, who has been in Birmingham on private business, left yesterday afternoon for Tuscaloosa. He will return to Washington Sunday.
 Speaking of the, Dirgley tariff bill Captain Bankhead sad that it Is the policy of the democrats not to throw any stumbling block in the way. That the bill will be amended in several in- stances in the senate and will return to the house a much better bill than when 1t first passed that body.
 Democrats both in the house and senate will take a firm stand against the pass age of the bill and will record their po- sittons in tones that future generations may not be mislead as to their prlnci- ples Yet farther than this the bill will be allowed to take it's course.
 The republicans claim that by the pass age of the bill their promises to the peo- pie of the return of prosperity will have been accomplished, and everybody, ire spective of party, are more than anxious for the fulfillment of this promise.
 Captain Bankhead is very fond of Ala bama and his home, and never lets an opportunity pass to mingle occasionally with his people, even when congress is in Session, to see how their pulse beat and obtain their views when Important measures are being considered, and the people have learned to expect him. He stiH holds to his opinion that July will find collgress still in session.

WATER IN THE WAY.
Completion of the New Dem Hinder
ed by the MississipDi.

Engineer William De la Barre, of the St.
Anthony Water and Power company, was in
Anoka yesterday, where he made arrange
ments for the reconstruction of the cofferdam
which was carried out by the recent high
water.
Mr.. De la Barre recently returned from a
two weeks pleasure trip to the East. His
visit was one partly of pleasure but more
of business, as he visited the works of the
General Electric company at Schenectady, N.
Y, where he looked over the electrical plant
the new dam. Everything was in good shape
and is ready for shipment as soon as the
work is far enough along for it's installation
here.
Regarding the situation at the new dam,
Mr.. De la Barre was considerably dscour-
aged. He said, however, that with conditions
favoring the dam would be repaired and the
electrical plant all in by October. 1t will de-
pend entirely upon the river. Nothing can be
done until the water recedes. and it is high
now than it has been before at this
season of the year.
The work of fitting the power house is
nearly completed. The turbines are in and
the remainder of the plant has been partially
placed in position Should the river not low
and allow the work of repairing
too far advanced before it could be com
pleted, and the completion of the improve
ments would have to go over until next year.
This would mean a great loss to the COM
pany. AS it is now, the work on the dam
and in the power house can be carried on
simultaneously and when the water recedes
every effort will be concentrated upon the
dam, and then the machinery could be put
in later.
