young men made a foolhardy attempt

with no oars, but pieces of boards for

The swift current carried the boat to-

The young men all jumped as the scow
hung for moment on the flashboarls
and landed on the rocks below the
falls.
Frank Simard. II years old was

as originally framed as designed to
bring about government ownership
and operation of tbs extensive railway
property.
Harris, the author of the resolution
spoke in support of it, arguing that the

jeopardy if the proposed agreement for

Union Pacific Railroad was executed.
Morgan further discussed the subject

erroneous assumption that the govern

said he did not hold Republican sena-
tors responsible for the obstruction

Mr.. Huntington and others interested

that a guaranty be given as to the

In closing Thurston stated that no
