CHAIRMAN CANNON
ExprssseS the BELIEF Thattho Present ss.-
sion OF Congress WIN be Brief

Expresses the BELIEF That the Present set-
sion or Congress VIII be tirlef.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. So-Rep-
resentatlve Cannon. chairman of the
committee on appropriations, arrived In
Washington to-day. Speaking to re-
porter OF the Associated Press he said
that his policy for the approaching ses-
sion OF Congress as chairman OF the
house committee, would be TO head the
appropriations so far as he could con-
troll them, down to existing conditions.
~ believe In liberal. but not an
extravagant policy in making npproprl-
atlons." he said, "and until our reve-
nues increase shall oppose entering up
on new enterprises requiring the expen-
dlture OF government funds"
Mr.. Cannon expressed the opinion
that by the beginning Of the next fiscal
year the Dlngiey tariff bill would az
ford revenue sufficient to meet the le-
gltlmate demands OF the government.
He also stated his belief to be that the
coming session would be a comparative
" brief one. I'VE should be away from
here early, by the frst OF June" he
said. Indeed, there ia very little for
us TO do beyond passing the appropri-
alton bills. Il Is needless for US to at
tempt to secure currency legislation be-
cause OF the impossibllity OF getting
anything through the senate. So long as
the senate IL antl-Republican, as ut
present, all efforts to get currency re-
form legislation will be so much waste
OF time and energy. What sense then Is
there in writing, writing long winded
essays to be read In the senate and the
house and disturbing the business
equilibrium, unless some wholesome
purpose can be subscrved?"
Mr. Cannon says the appropriations

and pension appropriations bin in tho

The mayors association was called to
order at O'Clock this morning. Presi-
dent Kendall presiding, There were
several additional arrivals to-day max
Ing the total number of towns repre-
sented about forty.
Mayor Thomas, of Parkersburg, read
an interesting paper on street pavIng,in
which he said an important question
was what kind of pavement will come
within the limits OF the finances OF
small towns. his opinion being that Wit
rlhed brick or block answered the qdes-
tlon, not only on account OF cheapness,
but OF durability and from a sanitary
view, and the ease with which 1t may
be kept clean,
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-12-01

Mr. Thomas also gave short history
and description of street improvements
in Parkersburg, saying the first paving
was put down there In 1883. according
TO what is known as the Charleston
plan, claiming that Charleston, w. Va
was the pioneer OF street paving with
brick In this country. The reading OF
his paper was followed by general
discussion OF the subject.
The paper OF Mayor DeGruyter, OF
Charleston. on the granting OF licenses,
attracted considerable attentlon,and the
sentiments expressed we're heartily en-
dorsed by those present. He reviewed
the trouble they had In Charleston re-
garding licenses and closed as follows:
IT earnestly urge that all Interested In
good local government without regard
to party or political affiliations. make
an active vigorous and concerted effort
to induce the next legislature to so
modify existing laws as to free all mu-
inequalities in this state from the OBJ
noxlous interference and control In H.

the first rails of which we're laid near
Brigham city in March, 1872. Grad
ing was commenced at Ogden in
September, 1873. The road was
opened in May, 1874, the first train
leaving Ogden for Franklin, Idaho,
on the 22nd OF that month.
Farr's wooden mill was the first
notable industry inaugurated. 1t be-
gan operations about 1909, and has
been carried on successfully ever
since. In 1869 Hon. Franklin d.
Richards was elected probate Judge
of Weber county, and F, S. Rich
ards was appointed clerk of the same
court. The same year the Daily
Telegraph was established by T. b.

On January 9th, 1870, Bishop
Chauncey Walker West died at san
Francisco. Ills remains were brought
home to Ogden and inferred here.
He was succeeded in his ecclesias-
teal duties by Lester Herrick.
An outbreak of small box during
the month of July, 1870, caused the
city to be quarantined. AT the
close of the year the city was divided
into wards.
There were now a considerable
number OF on-Mormons in the city,

Of an embittered period, a period
