Congressman Stevens Tells What
Was Accomplished at Washington.
At the chamber of commerce meeting
told OF the WorkIaecoTuplished in Wash
ington during theI past winter by the st.
Faul representatives s.,
1t had been avery busy winter at the
capitol, and he had been repeatedly ask
ed when the newr federal building would
be ready for occupancy. Owing to the
immense amount OF work which has ac-
cumHlated In the Office Of the supervising
architect the work of finishing the build
ing Is likely to beiaelayed. He thought,
however. that by sthe time the federal
court conNenes Bext summer the rooms
on the upper floDrs, of the present wing
would be ready for occupancy. This, he
thought, Is the best that can be done,
and the first floor will not be completed
until the tower addition is finished
In speaking OF the river improvements
secured. he mentioned the continuous
appropriation for locks and dams be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, amount
ing to nearly sl,000.0O0. becoming available
when needed. Appropriations were also
secured for the repair OF the upper Mis-
sissipp1 reservoirs.
Mr.. Stevens explained In regard to the
Fort Smelling military reservation i'm
proVements, that- during the past winter
the secretary of war and adjutant gen
eral had both expressed themselves of
the opinion Of the standing appropriation
of $500,OOo for the Improvement Of mill
tary posts should be used at Fort Smell
ing. He thought, however, that it would
be questionable policy to push the matter
at this time, and suggested that appro-
priations looking merely towards the
identifying of; the post should be con-
sidered as separate proposition.
Referring to the presidents proposed
visit to St. Paul. Mr. Stevens stated that
he had agreed to spend day in each
city.
