C0BURN'S CHANCE
May Be Formally Presented
With Wilson's Place.
Latter Will Retire to Become
President of a College.

A movement is on foot among the friends
of Secretary F. d. Coburn to present his
name to President Roosevelt when the lat
ter visits Topeka two weeks hence and
ask that Mr.. Coburn be appointed to sue
ceed Secretary Wilson as secretary of ag-
riculture in President Rooseveit's cabinet
wnen Mr.. Wilson retires to take the pres
idency of the Iowa Agricultural college, as
1t is reported he will do.
Ii this action is taken 1t will probably
be without Mr.. Coburn's approval for he
which have been launched for this position
in the past, nor has he even said that he
would accept it II it were offered to him.
pushing forward his name for the place.
1t is reported in Washington that Sec
retary Wilson will retire from the cabinet
some time the coming year to take the
presidency of the Iowa State Agricultural
college to succeed President Beardshear
that it will be practically life appoint
ment at the head of one of the most inf1u-
regents of the college are exceedingly anx-
ious for Secretary Wilson to accept it.
President Beardshear was one of the best
president of the National Educational as
sociation and it was at the recent meeting
of the association at Minneapolis, Mimi
two months ago. that ne racted the
illness which terminated in his death. His
place is difficult one to fill. Secretary
Wilson was formerly professor of agricul-
ture in the institution and he left that
chair to become a member of President
Mckinleys cabinet. In looking for a new
president the regents of the college turned
to him: 1t is reported that he refused to
accept the place Immediately, but consent
ed to consider it if it should be left open
for few months, long enough to allow
him to complete certain lines of work now
under way in the department of agricul-
ture.
This is why Secretary Coburn's friends
hope to land him in Washington and they
propose to push him for the place whether
he wants 1t or not. 1t may be there will
not be an opportunity for them to present
his name to President Roosevelt when he
visits Topeka. but it is reported that they
will do so If possible

CONGRESSMAN BRANTLEY
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION.
He is Not Endeavoring to Change
Route Of the Altamaha
RfEpr

A special dispatch sent ont from
Washington Monday says:
Congressman Brantley says that he
is not seeking an appropriation to nave
the Atamaha river turned so it viii
have its outlet through Brunswick in
stead Of Darien, as has been reported
He is only asking an appropriation of
$4,000 to connect Club and Plantation
creeks, so that the river boats on the
Altamaha can get to Brunswick if
they desire to do 50. They cannot
now get to Brunswick without going
through st. simons sound, which is
dangerous for them to attempt.
Some Of these boats. at least. de-
sire to go to Brunswick in order to
connect with the New York steamers
that ply between Brunswick and New
York. They cannot get such coDnec.
ton at Darien, as no line Of New
York steamers touch there.
Such connection would give the
people Of Macon, Of Dublin. OF Haw.
kinsville Of Abbeville and other places
IN the interior an all-water route to
New York, and would thus give them
water competition IN freight rates to
New York.
The connecting Of the two creeks
named is pronounced entirely feasible
by the army engineers, and the prop-
osition to connect them orieinated
with the people in the interior and
not in Brunswick If Congress win
give the boats coming down the
oconee' Ocmulee and Altamaha rivers
safe passage to Brunswick the result
would be not to divert anything from
Darien, but to put a business on these
rivers that does not now go to either
Darien or to Brunswick II would
also give Darien the benefit of foe
Mallory Line Of New York steamers
and the Clyde Line of Boston steam
ers at Brunswick. which would be
quite an advantage to her, giving her
composition in freight rates that She
does not now have, and. in addition
the increased business that would
come down the rivers would undoubt-
edly go in part to Darien and there
would be no reason why she shout.
not hold all that she now has.
II have no desire to ininre tbe
port OF Darien, and If the peon,o
there are opposed to the bin intro.
duced by me. they have not noti6ed
me Of the fact, said Mr.. Branfley IN
speaking OF the matter.
