RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Duluth and Superior Fare Well-Th'
mississippi Also. ~

Duluth and Superior Fare Well-The
mississippi Also. ~.
Washington, March 1.-The house COM
mittee has practically completed the river
and harbor bill.
1t is understood that in the majority Of
instances no material increases are made
for the various harbor improvement pro-
jects. This rule will apply to the great
lake region, although that section will
fare better than some other sections OF
the country. The bill will probably pro-
vide for direct appropriations Of about
$40, 10000 900. The total amount for continu-
ing contract work, which will cover q
period OF years, reaches about 100000, 000
The most important project in the Min
nesota district is that at Duluth and Su-
perior. 1t is&sslieved to be settled that
the plan for heFnew piers in the Superior
harbor to cost NEARLY $1,O0O,000, will be
incorporated In the bill, and an approp ia
ton Of at least $4,000 for starting this
work will be made. An increase Is also
expected for the harbor project generally
at Duluth, although there is about 5000, 900
yet remaining which will be- diverted to
the general improvement OF the harbors
at these cities. At least 100000 will
be provided for dredging the Duluth-S u-
perior harbor. Some doubt is expressed
by the Minnesota members that the pro-
JecC IOT Agate pay, burlington pay and
Grand Marais. which carried appropria-
lions in the bill Of last year will be pro-
vided for this year. Nothing definite can
be learned in regard to the decision of the
committee respecting the lock and dam
project between Minnea polls and St. Paul.
but it is understood that an appropriation
to continue the work will be allowed. The
Mississippi river generally. will be we'll
provided for, and the upper river, includ-
ing the reservoir system, will receive at
least $250,000. The Red River of the
North in Minnesota will receive at least
$4,000 and the st. Croix $1,000.

Washington, March 1.-Admiral Walker
when shown the caibiegram from Paris
regarding the action Of the Panama Canal
company in deciding not to continue the
negotiations for the sale of the canal to
the United States. said he had received
no advices on the subject. While the

property to the United States, that sale
was contingent upon all agreement be-
tween the United States and Colombia
The admiral was inclined to think that
the news from Paris was not such as to
interfere seriously with the purchase of
the canal property should this government
desire to acquire it..
Officials Of the Colombian legation ex-
pressed no surprise at the reported action
of the company, declaring that the report

WANT DOCK CHARGES
Eastern Railroads in Favor of Re-
tanning ''LOndOn Clause"

Washington, March 1.-Some evidences
Of the attitude Of the railway lines which
have connections at the coast with the
trans Atlantic steamship lines toward
measures intended to affect the freight
traffic and rates of the steamship COM
panies are furnished by the stand taken
by the principal eastern railway COM
panies toward the bill regarding the abo-
lition of the sO-called London clause.
1t Is claimed that the relations between
the railways and the steamship lines is so
close that what is intended to affect one
branch of transportation is Immediately
opposed by the other. This fact is cited
as proof OF the activity shown by the
eastern roads against the London clause
bill. 1t is known that, while favorable
report has been made by the house COM
m1ttee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, and the measure is supported by
the shippers throughout the west who
are interested In the foreign trade, nota-
bly, the milling men and lumber exporters,
the railroad companies put in such de-
termined fight against the bill that it may
yet be defeated. Some of the leaders on
the committee, among them Chairman
Hepburn and Representative Sherman of
New York, announce their purpose to
fight the bill.

"One of the saddest trials to mother is
crippled deformed chld.''-Susau B.. Anthon.

Nothing so touches the tender heart
of the mother as the ever present
thought of her crippled or deformed
child. 1t is the one great burden of her
mind; and, it seems to her that If she
did not have that sorrow she could easily
bear all others that might come. Time
and again she has tried to comfort her
distressed mind with the thought that
the child would "outgrow' it, but as the
years pass there Is no Improvement She
tries to hide the deformity from all
strangers, and never speaks of it to amy
one, except her most intimate friends or
relatives. She had number of opera
lions performed with the knife by the
best surgeons in the great cities, but it
did no good. ALI looks dark to that moth
er. In looking over the daily papers she
reads of a new knowledge, a new skill, a
new science, new art that cures cripples
and deformities without the knife, with
out pain. Is it true? Can it be true?
Yes, it is true!

West Superior. March 1.-The damage
done by the recent rains in Wisconsin
will amount to millions Of dollars, it is
estimated, as the numbering season is
brought to close from three to four
weeks earlier than before.
In the district contiguous to West Su-
perior alone the damage is estimated to
be in the neighborhood of $10,000,000. The
loss to the great lumber interests in other
parts of northern Wisconsin and upper
Michigan will be large.
The rains have continued in some parts
of the north from one to three days and
the logging roads have been practically
wiped out. Lumbermen are hurrying to
the cities nearest their camps before the
earliest thaw shall have made the roads
and trails utterly impossible. Employees
are coming into Marinette alone by the
hundreds.

RANSOM OR ROMANCES :?
Which Caused the Girl to TAX
Away the Little One7


Away the Little Ones
Montreal, March L. Much excitement
prevails here over mysterious kidnap-
ping. Edgar Wayland, the 10-year-old
son of E. J. Wayland, manager Of a large
boot and shoe firm, is believed to have
been carried off by a servant girl who
called herself Audley Erie, but whose real
name is believed to be Ethel Young.
Mrs. Wayland left the child and an
elder boy in the nurses care Friday after
noon and when she returned learned that
the girl had packed valise with many
valuables. Carrying this and leading
the child she had told the other servants
she was going to deliver the valise to a
girl to whom it belonged. This was the
last seen of her or of Edgar. One theory
is that the abductor had been urged to the
deed by men who hope to obtain a reward
for the child's recovery. Another is
that the girl has been inspired by read
ing Of novels. She is only 10 years of
age and has $4,000 which is in trust for
her in Toronto.

BANK REAL ESTATE LOANS
McCleary AbandOns- His Original
Plan, but Has Another


Washington, March 1-Representative
McCleary has reached the conclusion that
his - bank-real- loan plan as
originally contemplated, and which Is
favored by most of his correspondents,
will not work outright. He has become
convinced that to permit commercial
banks to use q large part of their de-
posits for loans on land security would
not be desirable. He finds that, in the
main. the correspondents in different
states believe that some way should be
opened for permitting banks to loan
money on land and the complaint is gen.
eral that, in the present system, little
opportunity is given for getting out
among the people large accumulations of
funds, which lie idle in the banks. Pro-
lessor McCleary is working on bill per-
uniting loans on land security of GER
tain percentage of the time deposits,
which would not have the tendency to tie
up, on long time loans the cash that is
required for the ordinary commercial
business.
