KING GOES TO WASHINGTON
UTAH CONGRESSMAN WILL
LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY.
Bill Appropriating Half a Million
For Salt Lake Building Will Pass
National Legislation.

Congressman ". H. King will leave
this city for Washington, D. c., on
Wednesday next to be present at the
opening Of congress on the Monday
following. Judge King looks for a very
busy session and some very able de-
bates on important measures that are
to be acted on.
The shipping subsidy bill is one of
the measures upon which the parties
VIII divide, Judge King said. Il look
for the Democrats to present a practi-
Cally solid front against the paSsa ge
of that measure. It proposes to pay
out to government favOTites in boun-
ties at least S112000 600 as a starter.
This is for the OstensibIe purpose of
building up the shipbuilding industry
in this country The Democrats are
opposed to the measure because they
are opposed to all bounties and because
they hold that the shipping industry of
this country can be built UP without
such aid from the government.
The bill for the permanent increase
of the standing army is another that
the Democrats will fight 1t proposes
increasing the standing army to 100. 000
men as the maximum, giving the pres
ident the power TO recruit il 10 that
standard whenever he deems it neces-
sary- This is a. greater power than the
mOnarcnS or the old world have. and
will be a standing menace to free in
stitutiOns. The Democrats viii be
united in congress against this bill
THE Nicaragua canal bill is anoth-
er of great Importance that will come
up for consideration. Senator Hanna
says that the Hay-Pauncefote treat
is to stand. which is in reality an alb
TOgatiOn of the Monroe doctrine. All
these bills viii pass, as viii also one
reducing the war taxes. There viii be
very little new legislation. All the
bills spoken of above and many more
of less importance are already on the
calendars, except the one relating to
war taxes.
Il look for an appropriation bill 10
so through carrying an appropriation
of $500, GOO for the Salt Lake postoffice
building; that is Sl50000 more than has
already been appropriated, I don't
think that there is any doubt about
the passage of this bill, but l am OF
the opinion that no new buildings viii
be provided for in this bill. and for
that reason it does not look very
bright for ogden at this session.
There viii be an apportionment bill
passed at this session providing for the
election of congressman under the new
census. No one knows yet what the
ratio will be, but I am inclined to think
that it will be one for each 225 600 OF
population"

UTAH'S FLOUR TRADE
Millers Seeking a Market In the
East.
SHUT OFF FROM COAST
PROSPECTS FOR BIG WHEAT
CROP NEXT YEAR.
[UT OFF FROM COAST

There was the regular meeting of the
Salt Lake Millers' association in this
city yesterday, but little was done out
side of routine business. The milIers
and wheat raisers of the state are
looking out these days for an outlet
for their surplus products. The way
to the west seems to be completely
blocked for the time being by the very
high ocean freight rates from Portland
to European and Asiatic points Wheat
IN Portland is but cents higher per
oushel than it is here in Salt Lake, and
while that condition exists it is folly
TO look for an outlet in that direction.
Mr. Skott, the representative of the
HOnSkOng house, who was expected to
visit this place in the interest of ship
ping flour from Utah to China, has not
put in his appearance YET, and the
feeling now exists that he could do lit
tie or nothing even if he were TO come.
Secretary Williamson of the Millers'
association said yesterday in discuss
ing the situation that an attempt was
being made TO find an outlet for both
wheat and flour to the east. Three
carloads of -four and ten carloads of
wheat have been shipped east recent
ly, he said, but no returns have yet
been received from the flour and We
can't tell yet whether it will work or
not mere VIII De considerable wheat
shipped that way, because we have Sc
cured good freight rate, and the out
look at this time is that large quanti
ties of wheat Will be shipped to Chi
cdgO and Missouri river points We
are also able to ship to Colorado at a
profit because of the present favorable
freight rates, and much of our surplus
wheat will go into Colorado. We are
also working on rate to Texas; the
Texas people are crying for our wheat,
and if we succeed in getting the rates
that we are after, much of our wheat
will go out in that direction.
The outlook for fail wheat" said
Mr. Williamson, discussing that phase
of the situation, never was better at
this time of the year. The wheat was
put in in a good dry bed and then fine
showers and good warm SHOWS fol-
lowed, so that the grain is well rooted
and if the season from this time on is
anything like favorable, next years
crop viii be a very heavy one. This,
of course, relates Cnly to the dry farms.
1t requires 500 600 bushels of wheat
now to supply the local market, leaving
a surplus of from 1000. 600 to 100000
bushels to be shipped out as wheat or
flour.
1T is somewhat remarkable said
Mr.. Williamson in conclusion, that
there has not been a variation of more
than cents per bushel in the price of
wheat in Utah in the past year. The
price now is from Al to 80 cents and it
has varied but d shade from that since
last November. ] look for a slight
stif6ening in the price in the near flu
ture, but there can be no radical ad
vance"

BAD FAITH CHARGED.
City Alleges Insincerity of Jordan
Power Plant Company.

GOWOE E1anJ company.
An amended answer on behalf of the
municipality in the latest injunction
suit of Receiver Geoghegan of the Jor-
dan Narrows Power Plant company
against Salt Lake City was filed in the
district court yesterday As in the
former answer to complaints for injunc-
ton to restrain the city and the canal
companies from regulating the dis
charge from Utah lake, the amended
answer recites that for nearly a, quar-
ter of a century before the power plant
company asserted rights in the Jordan
river. the city and the canal companies
had. and still have, the sole right to
regulate the outflow from the lake.
It is further pleaded in the amended
answer that the city, jointly with the
canal companies, has the right to store
the lake water to Compromise point,
which is thirty-nine and half inches
above low water mark. and it is denied
that the power company has any right
TO interfere with the impOunding of the
water whenever it is deemed necessary
to cUrtail the outflow in advance Of
seasons of imminent drought.
A new point is made in the amended
answer, in that the affirmative allega-
ton is made that the power plant COM
pany has shown lack of good faith by
periodically applying to the courts for
injunction suits to permit the outflow to
go to waste. except for power gener-
ating purposes. and as frequently fail
