BIG BOND ISSUE
FOR WATERWAYS

Favors Plan.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Representa-
tive Bartholdt, OF Missouri, after talk
with President Roosevelt today, an
nounced his intention OF introducing a
bill as coon as congress meets to give
legal status to the Inland Waterways
commission, which was created by ex-
ecutive act, and another bill providing
fer $500 900, 900 bond issue to estab-
fish fund for permanent great water
way improvements, leaving the smaller
projects to be taken care OF in the regu-
lar river and harbor bills.
1t is proposed to have the Water wa
commission permanent body, which
shall employ experts and keep congress
officially advised as to the merits oil
waterway projects. Mr.. Bartholdt says
the president regards the plan with ia.
vor.
OF his bond plan Mr.. Bartholdt said
81 believe that the future generations
OF the country who will be benefited
by improving navigsble streams should
as in the case of the Panama canal
bear the burden of the expense. Chair
man Burton, of the committee on rivers
and harbors, has told me that there are
meritorious schemes pending before his
committee that call for an expenditure
Of at least 1900, 100000. Hardly one
tenth of this can be provided during {
session Of congress, and the consequence,
is that work which would be of i'm
mense importance to the United States
is deferred from year to year because
the money to carry it on is not avail
able. All this can be remedied by ,
bond issue of sufficient size. l do no
know of any thing more important thar

navigable streams of the country"

Santiago, Cuba, Nov. 19.-An I'M
successful attempt was made here yes
terday to set fire to the government
headquarters. A man entered the civil
department of the palace carrying a
large can of gasoline. AS he was pass

the can to the floor and then, slashing
it open with knife, applied a lighted

the building itself sustained some dam
age. In the confusion the man who
made the trouble got away.

Now for Summer.

With the Glorious" fairly out Of

the ear drums back 10 normal, the
real business of summering begins
For some il is a serious occupa-
ton, this search for warm weather
enjoyment-they make it strenuous
instead of restful. With others it is
a problem where and how to find
what is wanted at the right expendi-
ture. With still others il is a hope
less dream to think of vacations at
all. But even they may alter the
course of their everyday lives so as
to fit the season, and really obtain
a change without much cessation
from the daily work
Ever blessed electric csrs there
are for evening and half-holiday
journeys, the river boats, the longer
steamer trips, the parks, the piers,
even the roofs. Some inspired indi-
viduals find rest and change by ban
ishing all the usual furniture and
substituting the lightest Of hang
ings and the fewest of summer
chairs. With each succeeding year
there is more and more pleasure
for the stay-at-homes.
Yet for those who can accomplish
it, complete change of scene is the
most helpful of summer delights.
The system of temporarily swap
ping" a city fat for a country or
village house is growing, and it is
an admirable scheme, for each party
10 il receives the benefit of a com
plete shifting of locale and external
interests. The town mouse and the

visits without danger to either.
