to figure on a contract for hauling
l 800, 900 pounds of freight from Islay
station, on the Cheyenne and Northern,
twenty miles to the United States mil.
itary camp on the Crow reservation
during the latter part of this month,

eighty horses and a large number Of
wagons for the whole time allowed for
transporting the stuff, he argued that
he would not be able to do himself
justice and so declined to make an esti-
mate of the cost. Some of the road to
be %traversed is quite rough, but the
engineering department is now at work
upon plans for improving the roads.
There is also some talk of dividing the
supply depot and placing one station
on n side of the reserve, reached
from this city, and one on the other,
reached from the Cheyenne and North,

old frigate Constitution, which gained
such renown for the American Navy in
the War Of 1912, shall be towed out to
sea and used as a target in warship gum
merry practice, to It's speedy destruction,
finds no favor with Congress On the
contrary, the House committee on naval
affairs has voted to include in the Naval
Appropriation bill an item Of 100000
TO be expended in taking care Of the hulk
Of "Old Ironsides," in order that Il may
be preserved rs valued historic relic,
and an inspiration TO the patriotic youth
Of the country for generations TO come
This plan for the preservation Of the
old Constitution renders il unnecessary

for the construction of which the House
committee has included in the Appropria-
tion bill an item Of s6,O0O,OOO the name
Constitution, as suggested. One Con-
stitution is enough for our navy, and an
other would be foolishly superhuous Be

No PolIuos ln Rates Rnl.


The situation in Congress with respect
20 the Railroad Rates bin shows how
absolutely non-partisan is the matter with
which this measure deals.
The bin now pending in the Senate was
passed by the House Of Representatives
by almost a unanimous vote, only seven
members. al Republicans, voting against
it. In the Senate a Republican COM
mittee placed the bill in charge Of Senator
Iillman Of South Carolina, a Democrat
who therefore becomes the leader in the
fght for its approval by a Republican
Senate
Senator Bailey Of Texas, a Democrat,
has been Senator rillman's legal adviser
in the Rates bill campaign, sitting beside
him when the bill is up for consideration
and giving him suggestions about its
general management. A few days ago
Senator Bailey was called home by the
death Of his father, whereupon Senator
la Toilette Of Wisconsin, a Republican
took his place as Senator Tillman's con-
hdential adviser
Il would be idle TO call a measure with
such standing, supported and opposed
by Democrats and Republicans alike, q
partisan measure. Many Democrats
claim it is a Democratic measure, while
the President Of the United States ha,
espoused it as the measure Of a Republican
administration. Democrats and Ropub.
licans also oppose it, 1t is not therefore
partisan measure; nor is It's approva
or rejection a partisan issue, in any mean
ing Of the word.

the possibility Of the bill being in neeed of
changes, and refrained from insisting upon
