The report is in part as follows:

pie of long standing ought not to be
lightly interfered with. But 1t is an
indisputable fact that the keeping and
training of fighting cocks is growing,

"Oftentimes money lost in the cock
pit Is money that ought to have gone
to provide food for the family or seed

1t was very much easier to secure
favorable recommendation on both
preliminary examinations and SUR
Neys. This was not due so much to
any carelessness on the part of the
engineers as to the different standards
which they observed. The object
sought in the creation of the Board
was most of all to secure uniformity.
Its members have also been very
careful in recommending projects.
Under the bill of 1902. in a list of 80
orders for examination and survey of
rivers and harbors projects only two
were recommended. Under the later
bill OF 1905, i'll Il list of 81 surveys,
only one was recommended, and that
in Il qualified manner.
Millions Are Saved.
Before this board was created, or
ders for surveys and favorable re-
ports were very numerous, and as u
result special feature of the present
situation was created. namely Il total
OF projects under consideration we'll
In excess OF $500. 100000 and that
too. with an average expenditure of
only $20,000,000 n year
The statement Is often made.
wen, we only desire survey but
in the management of the system Il
great deal of firmness Is required In
resisting demands for these surveys.
Eeca use when once upon the list they
ale prosecuted with great deal of
importantly and cause very much
embarrassment.
AS an illustration of the care Of
the Committee in regard to making
concessions some years since a MEM
Der not now in Congress demanded
an appropriation of $1,000 for Il local
stream He said that II he received
this appropriation he would support
the bill; otherwise he would oppose
it.
ut was at first thought that he
was joking, but it afterwards proved
that he was in earnest. When this
fact developed it seemed best to
draw the line and he was told that
he could not have his thousand dol
lars and must oppose the bill IL he
desired to. The bill passed without
embarrassment, but several years
later the members of the Committee
visited the locality and found the pro.
ject a deserving one for the expendi-
ture of limited amount. They there
fore inserted in the next bill an APP
preparation of $4,000 for it.
This instance is one Of consid-
cradle number in which claims for
appropriations as condition of sup.
port for the bill have been turned
down.
Rule Rlgidly obeyed.
The rule is strenuously observed
that each project shall be considered
upon its merits. There is, Of course,
danger of mistake In the Inclusion
of an item that is not altogether
worthy. but the danger OF error is
certainly not greater, nor yet as
great as in other branches of public
expenditure.
There is movement on foot to Sc.
cure larger appropriations for rivers
and harbors. 1t has been greatly
stimulated by the National Rivers
aud Harbors Congress which met at
Washington last January and was
made up of very representative
body of men in which there were del
egates from thirty-four states. At this
convention a committee was appoint
ed to promote the objects of the con-
gress. trust that this will result IN
more intelligent information upon the
subject and potent movement for gen
erous treatment of national water
ways. AIT the same time, the greatest
care must be taken"
