Hon. John L. Neeley, of this city,

for Railroad Commissioner before the

not stand for reelection, and as it is to

BARRIERS OF ROCK
WASHED AWAY
Colorado River Makes More
Work for the Engineers
Who Are Fighting Flood
TRESTLE GOES OUT
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

Los ALGODONES, Mex, Feb. a.
Colonel Randolph went to Yuma last
evening and his car was hardly out of
sight when the Colorado again caused
trouble A part of the rock barrier
of the lower trestle slipped away and
the river rushed into the depression
from both sides and began gouging out
a raceway Engineer Cory fought the
river all night, and although three
bents of the upper trestIe were carried
away, he restored the level of the rock
I'LL and prevented serious damage. The
flow OF the river was about $4,000
second feet. Of which 1000 were going
down the old channel. The flow was
about double today and about Is per
cent went down the old river through
five channels, aggregating 500 feet in
width. There was a rise of one foot
this morning and another half foot in
the middle of the day
The crest of the food seems to have
passed Yuma and will be here late
tonight, but no great rise is expected.
The head of water at the barrier,
which fell several inches last night.
was regained at o'clock this morn
ing and increased to A. feet at
o'clock this afternoon. Less drift is
now coming down and the pile-drivers
have begun the work of replacing the
lost bents of the upper trestles. A
track has been laid out to the break,
and rock is being dumped from the
trestle. About a thousand tons were
dumped by the first train. II no more
piling goes out on the crest of the
flood tonight the break will be re-
paired by morning. and enough rock
may be put in tomorrow to hold the
second trestle and insure the final clos
ing of the break. After that control Of
the river will depend on the strength
and extent of the levees now being
built south of the break
The Mexican Treasury Department
has notified Colonel Randolph that all
material used on the work will be ad-
mitted free OF duty.

FEVERISH TRADING
IN WALL Street

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-There was
some contraction OF the activity IN
stocks today and resistance to the re-
cent pressure was perceptible. but the
tone was feverish and uncertain
throughout. as was shown by the con-
slant fluctuations Of prices. First
prices OF the day showed declines from
last night and large offerings OF
various stocks appeared They were
taken at the low level and prices rail-
lied On subsequent declines on the
appearance of buying orders was ef-
fective in the same way. This buying
was generally credited to banking in
terests with the purpose OF exercising
a benevolent control of the market and
of opposing the raiding tactics OF the
bears. Finding obstacles OF this char
acter to their efforts TO get prices
lower the bears were disposed to cover
their short contracts. Most OF the
losses were recovered under this pro-
cess The tone Of the market continued
feverish up to the closing.
The first selling was professedly
based to some extent on the serious
tone OF public discussion OF the rela-
tions with Japan
The Financier says this week: Last
weeks statement Of the New York
Associated Banks showed a small de-
crease in cash and an important loss
result of an expansion Of loans and
consequently an augmentation OF de-
posits, and hence OF reserve require
ments- The net cash decrease was
s501. 900, which appeared to be caused
chiefly by treasury operations which
included the payment through the
banks to the Government OF a Central
Pacific note for s2.40O.000 and transfers
of mutilated currency to Washington
There were also smaller disbursements
for pensions and an increase in customs
collections. which had some influences
IN diminishing the contributions OF
cash to the banks through the treas
ury. AS a further influence in re-
ducing the bank cash the tnterbank
movement showed smaller gains than
those for the preceding week. General
deposits increased $9,708.4 400; this
amount was less by s1.666.S66 than the
sum of the increase in loans. less the
decrease In cash. and therefore the
statement did not make a good proof
The required reserve against general
deposits was augmented $2.427. 100.
adding which to the loss OF cash made
S2,928,700 as the decrease IN surplus
reserve to $12.634.300. In public funds tha
surplus Is S16,730,175. Loans were ex-
panded by $11.S52, 100, probably the re-
suit Of corporation borrowing on notes
and of loaning in securities which had
been returned from Europe

MORE MONEY FOR
POSTAL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The postof-
fee appropriation bill, which the House
committee on posto1ices and postroads
will complete Monday. will carry $780,
1S0,561- This Is the largest amount
ever carried for the annual expeldi-
lures OF the postal service. The total
recommended in the bill Is more than
SO, ,000. 900 in excess OF the amount esti-
mated by the department. and IL an
increase Of $17,509, $50 over the current
appropriation
The salaries of postal clerks OF both
city and rural carriers are increased to
a total OF S7.O00.000 Provision Is in
serted in the bill for the classification
of postal clerks. and the position OF
clerks and carriers are made inter-
changeable.
There are various provisions in the
bill intended TO reduce the pay to rail-
roads for carrying the mails It Is es-
timated that this reduction will amount
TO something like s12.000.0O0- The bill
cuts of all pay to roads for hauling
empty mail sacks. which IL Is estimated
will save between s3,0O0,O0O and
$4,000. 900 a year. The requirement that

MARE ISLAND DOCK
SHORT Of FUNDS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The new
dock at the Mare Island navy yard.
which is expected to be ready for SER
vice early in 1908, will be of little use
unless the House or the Senate restores
to the naval bill the item of 100000
for power plant This was omitted
from the bill by the House committee
but probably will be put back as soon
as the Importance of the project Is fully
understood. 1t will be necessary to an
ticipate the completion of the dock by
this plant SO that the machinery and
accessories may be properly housed
It is proposed to place the old Con-
stellation at Newport with the new
training ship Cumberland and the old
Pensacola at Yerba Buena training sta
tion with the new training-ship In
trepid. 1t is agreed that the older YES
sells have served their purpose and that
it would be to the advantage of the
training service to have the use of the
power ships, which were recently COM
pleted at the Boston and Mare Island
navy yards. They are In readiness for
service.

To SPEND MILLION
ON THE OREGON

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-The famous
battleship Oregon is to be modernized,
and Secretary Metca1f announced to-
day that he had authorized the ex-
penditureNo of s1.ooo.ooo out of the naval
repair fund for that purpose OF the
best type of warship when she was
launched, the Oregon Is already almost
obsolete, and to make her equal to
modern men-of-war she must be ex-
tensively overhauled- The changes
will be similar to those ordered for her
sister ship, the Indiana, the most i'm
portant being the substitution of ball
anced turrets for the present round tur-
rets. which cause the ship to heel
when all four twelve-inch guns are
pointed at the same quarter. The al
terations will be made at the Puget
Sound Naval Station, where the Ore
gon has been lying since her return
from the Chinese station. and will con-
sumo one year.

CONSIDER BILL ON
COLORADO RIVER
House Committee Cuts the
Appropriation to Million
and Makes Other Changes
WILL RUSH MEASURE
sPEcIAL DIspAroH no zee AL

WASHINGTON. Feb 2-The public
lands committee OF the House today
considered Senator Flint's bill for the
Improvement OF the Colorado River and
reported 1t with amendments. One
amendment cut out that portion of the
ment OF the Imperial Valley and Colo
rado River irrigation project"
The committee believed that Congress
ought not to establish specifically any
project. but leave the selection Of the
same to the reclamation service en-
tirely. Representative Smith moved an
amendment giving the reclamation
service authority to go on foreign ter
ritory when found necessary to irrigate
American land. but this was defeated.
largely on the ground that the present
condition Of the reclamation fund.
which is mortgaged for ten years in
advance, did not justify reclamation
service activities abroad.
The Western members OF the COM
mittee argued that If the service en-
barzed upon the Imperial Valley project
it would delay completion OF its pro-
jects IN the several States Eastern
members of the committee claimed that
enough work was now under way by
the reclamation service and that some
of its projects should be completed be-
fore any more large ones were begun
Inc vote against smith amendmenL
was unanimous, except his own.
The committee voted to reduce the
amount carried by the bill'fOr repairing
the Colorado River banks from $4,000
600 to S1,00O,000. and this reduction was
at the suggestion Of Representative
Fordney of Michigan. The COMMITTEES
added a fourth section to the bilL pro-
viding for the repaying Of this sum to
the reclamation fund in five annual in
stallments.
The bill Till be called up and passed
In the House at the first opportunity
A fight over IL in conference Is ex-
pected and it is not improbable that
Smiths amendment giving the re-
clamation service authority to work
abroad when necessary will be adopted
In conference.
Senator Flint Is expected to rebel
against the House committees action
In cutting the appropriation in half.
