Quoted there.
The, observance of the Sabbath at camp
meetings was the cue for Rev. DIR. j. j..
Murray, who in a characteristic way stat
ed that he was opposed to holding camp
meetings primarily for financial purposes
and thar nothing would justify such a
course He was opposed to the sale OF
anything whatever on the Sabbath Day.
He spoke at length upon the modernized
camp meeting, which had become largely
means of the decentralization of the ccm-
munities in which they were held. in con-
trast TO the great good done in former
years at such gatherings.
Rev. S B. Sutherland spoke in favor of
the resolution. He stated that the presi-
dent should have discretionary power and
that if a minister failed TO comply with the
request of the president of the confer
ence to preach at a camp meeting he
should be brought to account before the

tween the shippers and themselves max
ing the haulage rate - cents ton an sd-
vance Of Is cents. They have been COM
planning about the old rate of 50 cents for
several years, saying that il hardly af-
fords living, and this year with feed,
rope and other necessities costing more.
it would be impossible to eke out an ex-
istence. Rope, which is one of the lead
ing items in the expense account of a boat
man, now sells at is cents a pound, an ad-
vance of cents over year ago and 10
cents over two years ago.
The water has been tnrned in nearly
a week, and there is little activity among

ring as soon as spring opens. Boatmen
here and at ether points will stick to-
gether for the Sharpsburg rate.

PORTO RICo'S GOVERNOR.
Discussion at the War Department
Causes Much Interest.


The question as to who will be the new
Civil Governor of Porto Rico is being
much discussed by War Department Off
cials. 1t was said today by a hgh army
officer that the President desired to retain
General Davis in that office. Whether or
not this can be done under the provisions
Of the Porto Rican bill is the problem
The Porto Rican bill does not say that the
Civil Governor shall be a civilian nor does
it prohibit the appointment of an army
officer.
The salary OF the Civil Governor is to
be $4,000 per annum. General Davis
present salary is $500, with allowances.
and it is said that if it is agreed 10 ap-
point him Civil Governor he will have to
retain his military rank and be content
with the salary OF that office
Ii is said al the War Department that
there IS no law which will prevent Gen
eral Davis from being confirmed by the
Senate as Civil Governor and that the
President viii eudeayor 10 find grounds for
his appointment. General Davis has given
complete satisfaction TO the War Depart
ment and il is not considered advisable
to make a sudden change in officials

iarzed himself with the conditions in the

your railroading and l will attend to my
banking l haven't sold a dollars worth
of Southern Pacific stock and don't Iced
to sell any. I've a few dollars saved up
