SIDE-TRACkED IN COMMITTEE
Bill Requiring Publicity Regarding
Campaign Contributions.

Washington, May 5.-The bill re-
quiring publicity regarding all election
contributions, prepared by the National
publicity organization, headed by Per-
ry Belmont, and introduced by Repre-
sentative Mccall, of Massachusetts,, was
side-tracked today by the house COM
mittee on election of president, vice
president and representatives in con
gress. From the first members of the
committee complained that the bill was
loosely drawn.
The climax of complaint was reach
ed at a meeting of the committee to-
day. AS result the special order was
abandoned and in its place an order
adopted placing the general subject of
publicity before the committee. with
out confining its consideration to any
particular measure.

|AMICABLE SETTLEMENT LIKELY
Between Operators and Miners in
Anthracite Coal Fields
ANOTHER CONFERENCE MONDAY
First Proposition of Operators Unani-
n1ously Adopted by Miners Conven-
tion-The Length of Time the Award
Shall be and Discrimination Against
Strikers the Points at Issue.

Scranton, Pa, May 5.-There will be
no strike in the anthracite coal fields,
providing the operators will agree to
give every man his old place, and re-
instate those who have been dismissed
because they obeyed the suspension Or
der of John Mitchell.
On the advice of President Mitchell.
representing the sub-scale committee,
the miners convention today unani-
mously voted to adopt the first propo-
sition of the operators, a continuation
of the award of the anthracite strike
commission, with the modification that
the term for which it is to continue
shall be mutually agreed upon. The
operators suggestion was that it should
be at least three years.
The action of the committee together
for the request of conference on Mon
day was telegraphed by President
Mitchell to Chairman George F. Baer,
of the operators committee and an
answer was received agreeing to a
conference at 2 o'clock Monday after
noon, at the Jersey Central offices in
2New York city.
The only matters to be discusser
at the conference are the length of
time the award shall be and the pro-
vision that there shall be no discrimi-
nation against the men who Obeyed
the mine workers suspension order.
1t is practically certain that the opera
tors will not accede to any suggestion
for two year agreement, as that
would throw the next conference into
presidential year, and as the miners
will not want a long term agreement,
the chances are that a three year "a
greement will be eventually entered
upon An intimation has reached here
from President Baer that the operators
will not discriminate against the min
ers now on suspension, and the local
representatives of the coal companies
say the same thing. 1t looks therefore
as if a strike had been averted, and
the miners will return to work prOba-
bly, on Monday May IA.
The news that the convention had
decreed against a strike was received
with great joy throughout this region.
Since the delegates began to arrive in
Scranton Wednesday it was felt that
the result of the convention would be
the Transforming of the suspension in
to a strike, and that the strike, when
it did come, would be long one, at
tended by much disorder

pits at Grand junction. Since
May II, the company has taken
10000 car loads from the pit at
chat place and placed it along

Sioux City division and in Ne

gravel east, but that date closed
their work to the west for the
time being. The average load
amounts to about twenty tons,
making an aggregate of 100000
tons placed on their lines west
in the past few months. This
amount has all been handled
with one steam shovel and more
would have been moved had the
company been able to devote a
larger number of cars to this
work. About twenty acres of
the pit was used on this job.

Dedication of the Presbyter.
ian Church at California
Junction

This event will take place on
1.-THE 21st of October, one week
from tomorrow. The church is
a little beauty, but it is none
too good for the people of that
thriving community. People
who, like them, work hard
every day and are prospecting
should have a church at least
as comfortable as their homes,
a church that they won't be
ashamed of as they drive past
it with their visiting friends, a
church that will look as if there
was respect for religion, a
church where they will enjoy
the services and be comfortable
with their children.
This is that sort Of a church.
Everybody should plan to at
tend the services at 3 p. m. and
70 p. m. Rev. G. H. Purmort,
d. D., of Des Moines, will
preach at both services.

DRAINAGE ASSESSMENTS
Experiment Station Bulletin
No. 6.

The Engineering Experiment
Station of the State College a
Ames, has just published I.
comprehensive bulletin on tn
important subject of drainag,
assessments, which can be Sc
cured free by writing to Direct
or A. Marston, Ames, Iowa.
The bulletin is by Prof. L. r.
Ashbaugh Of the Civil Engin
eering Department, who has
been employed as state engin
eer on drainage work by tn,
Executive Council for the las
two or three years and who, il
addition, has had much exper
fence at drainage engineering
| in Iowa. The method of max
ing drainage assessments which
he presents is one that has
been thoroughly tried in his
practice and that of many othel
drainage engineers in the state.
and which has received ex
tremely favorable comment
from all who are connected
with drainage assessments.
General principles which
should govern assessments are
first noted. Conditions are Their
assumed and by aid of map an!
chart an actual assessment
problem for a simple drainage
district is worked out, thus
showing the application of the
principles and also giving COM
parative results for lands var
icusly situated in the district.
The common problem of sub
districts or main ditch with
laterals is also treated, with
solution for assumed conditions
showing a method by which
each subdistrict will pay for its
own lateral and for its share on
the outlet or main ditch.
The mathematical work will
be of interest to engineers and
drainage commissioners, while
the general principles will be
appreciated by property owners
liable to assessment for drain.

largest convention held by
democrats of that county for
years we were told, and the in

one. and the belief that several

Last night at the new theatre
occurred the first lecture of the

He is a gentleman of pleasing
