Trouble is Spreading.

The trouble between the Marine En-
gineers' Association and the Steam
Schooner Managers Association is
likely to spread to the northern ports
of the coast. The engineers are trying
to tie up the Alliance, which departed
last week for San. Francisco. She
stopped at Eureka, however. having
been informed Of the intention of the
engineers union. It is regarded as ike
ly that the engineers will issue in
structions for the men employed on
the steamers still in operation to leave,
their vessels here or at Portland. For
a time it seemed the matter would be
amicably adjusted, but there is now
little prospect of settlement, as the
contending interests are evidently far
ther apart than ever before,

Possibly Be Saved,

Storms Have Damaged Vessel

rine News.

The steamer Fulton. which recently
went ashore at Port orford, win be a
total loss, according to advices re
ceived from San Francisco. At the
time Of the disaster II was believed
the steamer would be fioated without
much damage. as she was resting in
an easy position on the beach. Sew
eral times an effort was made to place
the necessary apparatus aboard to
float her, but the steamers which
stopped as Qrfcrd on their way up the
coast were unable to get near enough
to put the stun on board.
The steamer Alliance. which de-
parted from Astoria last week for San
Francisco. stopped at Port Oxford on
her way down the coast. She found
that the recent storms had played
havoc with the vessel. and that she
had been so badly broken up that 1t
would be futile to attempt to haul her
OF the beach. 1t was the opinion Of
the captain of the Alliance that the
Fulton's machinery might be saved, but
he is satisfied the hull will be total
loss. The heavy gales had caused her
to pound upon the beach until she
was shaken almost to pieces.

of the people; that he has at heart the
interests of the farmer and the local
merchant, rather than a desire to
build up huge corporations or win ap-
plause by grandiloquent oratory on
problematical theories.
If the business men of the small cit.
les and towns of this county have an
eye to their own interests they will at
once organize to support this measure
and see to it that their representatives
vote for it when it comes before Con-
gress.
To.day's papers state that Judge
Conner is quite hopeful for the passage
of his bill. and that several members
of the Postal Committee have already
declared in favor of it. The bill will
certainly become law if the business
men of such towns as Denison give it
the support they should and If the
farmers appreciate properly the great
advantage it would be to them.
Under the present law it costs 81
cents to send four pound package o1
merchandise from any town in Iowa tc
a farmer living near that town. The
rate is practically prohibitory and the
revenue is almost nothing.
Under the Conner law similar four
pound package would be carried for Ia
cents-a fair and remunerative rate
and one which would bring much
revenue to the government, much con
venience to the farmers and much
| benefit to local merchants.

FORNEWPOSTAL RATE
Congressman Conner Introduc-
es Important Postal Measure
BENEFITS LOCAL MERCHANTS
Would Reduce Merchandise Postage
Rates Between Rural Route Pa
irons and Local Merchants.

Hon. j. r. Conner has just introduc-
ed q measure fora postal reform which
Is ofsthe greatest Importance to local
merchants and which viii greatly add
to the convenience and utility of the
Rural Free Delivery service TO its
patrons.
The bill Of which sHon. j. P. Conner
is the author, provides that hereafter
the postal rate on books and merchan-
disc originating ini any city, addressed
to any Rural Free Delivery patron on
a route emanating from the city at
which package Is mailed shall be five
cents tor the first pound and three cents
additional for each pound or fraction
thereof up to five pounds.
The present merchandise rate is one
centan ounce-sixteen cents pound
and the department recognizes no dis
tinction between package mailed at
Denison for delivery on Denison
route, and a package mailed in San
Francisco for delivery on route in
Maine. AS far as the cost of service is
concerned this is manitestly unfair, as
for the local package there are nc
transportation charges to pay and the
service can be performed without cent
of additional expense to the govern
menu.
Que Of the strongest arguments
against the enlargement CT the mail
free delivery service, and in fact the
strongest argument against its contin-
uance, is that it is not self-supporting.
The passage of the Conner bill would
largely increase the revenue and would
in q short time wipe out the annual
deficit now reported from that branch
of the postal service.
The passage OF the Conner bill would
be q great boon to the farmers. They
could obtain small articles from town
at d nomina cost and blythe aid Of the
:telepnoue could get them almost as
quickly as people living in town.
The Conner bill would also be !
great help to local merchants espec
tally to those dealing in light goods
such as dry goods, clothing shoes
drugs, tobacco; books, stationery, etc
This is matter in which the loca
merchants of every town can join. 1
would not benefit the merchant of onf
town at the expense of the merchan
Of another town, but would give tt
each an advantage in his own territory
Judge Conner has shown in the in
production OF this bill that he is look
ing to the practical benefit and welfar,

APLAY OF LASTING MERIT.

Most of the plays that are written
never see the stage, those that do, very
few succeed. Many Of them by resort
ing to all'the devises known;to the press
agent, do manage to finish out one
season: but plays that will really live
and that are worth while are really
very rare, and nearly all of them have
been "played to DEATH. j. z Little's
"rhe World. which Manager Earle
Doty ybrings to Denison on Dec. 20, is
now recognized as one of the greatest
of American plays, but at the same
time 1t is new to large proportion Of
the theatre-going public, as it has up
to this time been produced mostly in
the large cities. MIR. Doty has shown
extremely good judgment in selecting
it for this season. just at the time
when the country is over-run with
new plays that are worthless, or by old
ones of which the public has tired.
Manager Doty's production of this
great play deserves the success with
which it is meeting. Earle Doty is

There were many members present ana
much interest was expressed in the re-
port given by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins
She told of the donation of carload or
furniture from a hotel on Lake George,
so that now each citizen" who has a
room is provided with dressing case
or bureau, and those in dornitories have
inherited the wooden boxes, or lockers,
taken from the rooms. This gives each
boy in the community some place for his
private belongings.
There are now sixty-five citizens in the
republic, and everything, it was reported,
is in a hopeful condition. Mrs. Gannett,
Mrs. Merwin and Mrs. Hare were consti-
tuted a committee to collect supplies for
the Thanksgiving dinner which WASH

At Soldiers Home.

The Lawrence Opera-Dramatic Company
appeared at the National Soldiers Home
theater last evening in the three-act
musical military drama, "Once On Time"
Mr.. Lawrence, the director and manager,
has happily arranged this bright little
comedy drama into an attractive musical
play. Most of the embarrassing parts have
been cut down to actual business, and
musical selections added in appropriate
places, and all in all the play as it now
appears gave great satisfaction to the large
audience assembled. The drama was orig
inally a two-act play, but the director saw
fit to add military camp scene between
the two acts, where Company D, LIST Bat
