was also secured by the company, sever
al shafts being sunk on the creek bed
from time to time.
Last week Mr.. Pomeroy arrived in
John Day, and since his arrival has been
busy making final arrangements for the
construction of dredger several times
larger than the old one and very similar
to the one in operation on Burnt river.
The new boat will be about forty feet
wide by ITO feet long. An order has
already been placed with u local lumber
dealer dealer for 200, 900 feet of lumber.
In short time contracts will be let for
1000 cords Of wood and the hauling of
500, 600 pounds Of freight from the rail-
road.
1t Is not the intention Of the company
to stop at one dredger, however, but II

have estimated, a second and third ma
chine will be built, which means much
to this section Of the county, one dred-
ger alone creating u pay roll Of 5000

But the bill was pruned and broush,

it will not remain in that shape. Thara

too well drilled to permit the Net

committees to be cut or added to on the
floor, without some great necessity.
But there is another body to be reck-
oned with-the Senate. There the
work of the Rivers and Harbors Com

For instance the Conference Committee

work must be approved by both

usual limit, though there is never any
agreement on the matter. For instance

their minds to filibuster until they got

twelve millions to stick but would not

SHIPPING AND CANAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Without
the attendance upon daily sessions to
take up their time, there is, during this
recess, a continued discussion among
members of both branches of Congress
as to the outcome in the senate of the
two leading measures of this session
the Nicaragua canal bill and the ship
subsidy bill. Both are to<keep a. prom
inent place in the eyes of the people
during the two months of the session
which remain and While they will be
literally discussed, there seems to be
prospect that this will be the extent OF
their advance. Round heSresorts where
the men who try to influence legisla-
tion congregate the opinion prevails
that there will be much talk and no
vote upon either bill, and this impress
sion is growing in the minds of every
one.
There are no assignable reasons for
the shelving of the shipping bill, which
will meet every phase of the case.
There is universal interest in the plan
for the Rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine, but it is true that
there will be necessary much mission
airy work before there can be any solid
party vote behind such a bill. The
chief prepayment of this measure is Sem
ator Hanna, the man who has been at
the head of the Republican National
Committee during the past two cam
paigns, and whose influence must not
be moderated. Hanna is peculiar
man, one who made his great success in
his business life, before he decided that
it was his duty to get into politics with
his whole energy, and then he turned
the current of his endeavor and now
is looked upon as one of the most re-
sourceful politicians in the country.
The oldest feature of all was that un-
til this year he would not get out and
do spellbfnding; he would work and
work hard in his office but on the
stump he would not go. The past cam-
paign saw him out in the west talking
to farmers, where they We're supposed
to lie awake at nights to hate trusts
and rich men, both of which Hanna
was supposed to represent in his public
and private capacity. But he made
