reasonable accommodation. The dams
must be necessarily short SO that VII
der locks like those on the Mononga-
hela river are inadvisable. The
locks are planned to be long
for enlarged capacity and for giving
useful length Of chamber OF 2S5 feet
Sucn lock would accommodate a
small towboat and coal boat ortwo-
boat and four coal flats at one lockage,
or stern-wheel packet. Larger tows
could not be handled in the pools, 1t Is
thought, even at favorable stages.
intermediate gates are intended for
saving lockage water in locking
smaller tows OF single crafts. The
depth on the lock stills is placed at
six feet Mt pool stage, Eight and q
half feet minimum depth on stills IL
required for coal traffic on the lower
Monongahela; seven feet still debths
are intended for new locks on the
Upper Monongahela, but sIx.feet
drafts are fully as much as the West
Fork could be made to carry ut pool
full stages and arc necessary for any
advantageous river transportation of
coal.
"Thc total cost OF improvement is
found to be 1895, 7Go.4s.
''On account OF the narrowness and
high banks of the West Fork and cx-
lstence OF good foundation the river is
easily bridged. In the 31.2 miles from
the mouth to head of proposed slack
water there are two railroad and nine
highway bridges. All OF them, except
the railroad bridge Mt Clarksbure,
would have to be raised, some OF them
several feet, for steamboat navigation
Mt even pool stage. Except two OF the
bridges and including the railroad
bridge at Clarksbnrg, each has asa
pier in mid-rlver which would bean
impeachment to navigation. There are
two mIll-dams in tho river, whose re-
moval would also be necessary.

that 1 can very we'll help it. because
this year the issues that are at stake in
politics are those in which l believe
with my whole heart and soul. Now,
why are you here today? Because you
expanded over Kansas. In 1903 this
territory was acquired under the Louis
lana purchase; and many good people
of the northeast said it was perfect folly
to buy this country-we never could
expand into tive ought not to take
it away from the Indians who had it..
Well, you went ahead; you did expand:
and you are here now, and the senti.
ment against acquiring this territory is
dead, exactly the same as the question
whether we are to abandon the work
that we did last year and the year be-
fore is dead question. You sent your
sons to the Philippines; your sons blood
waters the soil of those islands. The
flag is there and it won't come down."

understandable dread Of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and irving
event which will soon approach and

Women should hail with DELIGHT a
remedy which insures to them i'm.

Such remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of

the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and

woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
Mothers Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and it's price.

thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination Of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise

their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend" The

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Estate Sena
tor Stratton finds his assumption of the
Office of collector by no means sine
cure. When he steps into the custom
house he will have to dispose of an army
of would-be officeholders, who have de-
scended upon him with the rapacity and
determination of a swarm of locusts.
There are applications enough to fill all
of the 7oo positions in the collectors de-
partment. AS Senator Stratton is from

Whisky Exports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I3.-Germany buys
more distilled spirits from this country
than are shipped to any other foreign
country. The Germans seem to have a
great hankerng for bourbon whisky
in preference to rye, as only 1858 gal
Ions Of rye whisky were sent to Germany
last year against All ,4S7 gallons of bour-
bon. Rum delights the Africans. Since
the fashion was set to sending hogshead
of rum for every missionary the Africans
have kept on drinking rum until now
the export to that beuighted land reaches
357,769 gallons, beating the export to
England, which consumes 3o3,s34 gal
Ions. But England seems to depend on
Scotland for her whisky, as she took only
3,6o9 gallons from this country. Japan,
Venezuela and Spain did not buy gal
Ion of whisky of the United States.
