Brother Hicks, the affable and
gifted editor Of the Shreveport
Progress, in his last issue throws
very pretty little hint wherein he
says:
''Hon. John Dymond is the man
our State needs for the next Gov
ernor.' We do not know if Col.
John has the gubernatorial bee
buzzing in his bonnet or not, but
we know him to be made of the
right kind Of stuff for the place,
and we have just enough faith in
him to believe he would handle
the affairs OF the State satisfacto-
rily to his people and with credit to
him self.-Marksville New Enter
prise.
THE PROGRESS is glad to note
this endorsement by Broth er
Fields of New Enterprise, one Of
the best papers in the State. 1t
understands that the New Orleans
Picayune and several other pa
,,crs have agreed that Hon. John
Dymond is splendid gubernato-
rial timber. Now The Progress
knows too much about such mat
tiers to begin to run Mr.. Dymond
now; but this little seed will be
put under ground until the spring
time Of State politics has come
around.

A Great Tunnel.

The English government is seriously
considering the construction of o sub
marine tunnel between England and
Ireland. It is estimated that the cost
of the tunnel will amount TO s7.OoO,-
600. Experts, however, are unanimous
in declaring that the project of build
ing 4 causeway between the two couu-
tries is impracticable, owing to the par
ticularly stormy character of St

Big Reptile Creates Conformation
in Bloomfield On. - Household.
A monster snake created cons crna-
ton at the homo of Town Clerk William
L. Johnson, at Bloomfield, N. J., the other
afternoon. The reptile was discovered
by the servant, Mary Kunsy. When she
raised the lid of the ice box in the cell
lar the snake glided out from among the
family provinder there. The girl
shrieked and nearly tainted. Members
of the family rushed to the scene, and as
soon as the girl recovered her speech
she gave such vivid description of the
snake the Johnsons came to the con-
clusion that q boaconstrictor at least
was in the cellar. A search was made
for the reptile, but 1t could not be
found.

The stand pipe was cleaned out
Wednesday; and we likewise I'M
stand that the filters-which are
already there and mparatively
new, will be put in just as soon as
the new pumps arrive which will
have power enough to force the
water through them The new
pumps will have power enough to
draw million gallons of water
per day, so we are reliably inform
ed. 1t is said that the improve
menJS that are now in cOntempla-
ton and being arranged for, will
cost the company about So, 900.
THE PROGRESS believes Mr..
HOurce Will do all he can to give
satisfaction.
Cur next stop was the Electric
power house. But the evening watch
was not quite ready for putting the
machinery in motion so we left

keeper and VIC started out on
tour Of inspection. Mr.. Martin
was explaining everything in an
| easy, satisfactory manner when
our party was joined by L. r. Lo-
gan, the secretary, treasurer and
manager. Mr.. Logan is a veteran
in the business, knows it from a,
to z, loves it, and loves to
| talk about it, and Mr.. Martin
practically retired-as to explain
ing-when Mr.. Logan took charge,
and showed everything connected
with the works.
This Shreveport Ice and Refrig-
crater Co. is a big concern, and
when The PROGRESS tells its read
ers how much capital is invested
in it-as it will before this article
is fnished-they will appreciate
it, too. 1t has a daily capacity Of
sixty tons OF ice, but Mr.. Logan
says that half that much will sup
ply the present demand. 1t j rs
connected with it a steam boiling
works which manufactures the best
Of cider and pop. 1t uses distilled
water for these as well as for max

added a cold-storage apparatus,

THE PRESS IN CARRIAGES
The Mayor Treats To A Ride.

Wednesday Hon. K. n. Nick ell
lar, our mayor, took it unto his
head to give the local press car
rage ride around the city and
suburbs. He is a courteous, Jolly
gentleman any way. and then he
knows that a public mans best
friends are the newspaper men.
Every paper in the city was rep
resented, the Journal, by Mr.. w.

the main building where were a

mammouth fellows, two gigantic.

tons weight each and the other a
huge 10 wheel freight drawer,
which weighed 9S tons. Goodness
what ponderous fellows they were,
what power the possessed; how in
significant man appears standing
along side with his spfantile
strength; and yet man was
and is the master of the masto-
dons.
AT this juncture the master me-
chanic, Mr.. Al Campbell came up
and explained many things to the
party. He is a courteous gentle
man and seems to be the proper
man to have in charge. He said
that his shops had checked 81 men
who answered the roll call that
morning for work, but the roll con-
tanned about 81 men. Just now

our city. He said further that
within the next so days the
working force would be increased
20 per cent. THE PROGRESS is
giving statements as they were
made to the writer hereof.
Our party was next driven to
the Water Works on the hill. We
found Mr.. G. B. Oliver absent on
business for the company-witht the
manager, Mr.. H. H. Iouree; but
Mr.. G. H. Scheduled, the night
engineer was on deck, though it
lacked more than an hour of
being night.
We found Mr.. Scheduled as &C
commodating as one would want
to meet. He showed us the pump
at work which sent the water
through the pipes into town.
These have a capacity Of mill
lion gallons per day. We also
saw those muchly talked about

city of little more than million
gallons. The water in these look

Hanna's Plan.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Jan. 28.-It can
be stated on authority which cannot
be doubted that the republican leaders
have decided upon a radical change
of policy in connection with the prop
osed agitation throughout the coming
four years, and in its stead the verdict
Of the American people in the recent
presidential election and the merits
of the incoming administration VIII
stand alone. Immediately following
the election many leading republicans
throughout the country urged upon
Chairman Hanna the Importance and
absolute necessity for continuing the
present agitation, pursued during the
campaign just closed. AT first the
members of the committee, were fully
in acord with this idea, but after ma
ture deilberatiOn the majority OF the
committee, including Mr.. Hanna,
have experienced change Of ~ 1T
He clearly demonstrated his change
OF views by frankly stating to the As
sociated Press:
81 am in favor Of stopping ali lTJs-
ent agitation and permitting the ver-
dict of the people to stand upon its
merits" 1t is believed that potent
factor entering into the discussion
and final decision on this question is
the belief that is apparently growing
on all sides, that active political work,
on such scale as was mapped out by
the republican leaders some time ago,
is now and would continue to be
menace to the return of business pros
perity. 1t is stated that the original
plans for the work assigned to the
Washington headquarters will be larg-
ely curtailed, though the office may
be maintained for a short time.

Whereas the house Of representa-
tlves is so equally diYided that a fair
and honorable understanding should
be arrived at whereby the power Of
small majority would not be exercised
harshly or unjustly over large min
ority,
OTherefore, BE it resolved that we
earnestly request the minority repres-
entatives to make all reasonable and
honorable efforts to effect a speedy or
ganization conformably TO their honor
and dignity as representatives Of the
people OF Oregon, and with a due re-
gard TO the rights of a minority
against the coerslve power Of a major
