TO CONSTRUCT GIANT
DAM FOR NEW JERSEY

Patterson. Jan. THE Passaic
river flood district commission are
taking steps to construct an immense
dam across the Pompton river at
Mountain View to food the Pompton
basin. The work will cost nearly
5000, 900 but the commission in seek
ing power for the construction of the
dam explained that the floods in the
Passaic valley i'm 1902 and 1903 cost
$4,000, 900 so the dam is to be built
for the prevention of further floods.
Water can also be furnished to sew
eral municipalities at very low
price.

treasurer of Phillips county appropriate
ed to his own use $4,000 collected by him
which belonged to the state permanent
and annual school funds, and that could
not have been done under the draft sys
tenn proposed in the Nation bills. L
also repeat that about 100000 has been
collected by counties from principal and
interest on school land sales that has
not yet been sent to the state and that
about $4,000 of this amount has been
outstanding for more than ten years
and that this condition could not pre-
vail under the draft system proposed in
the Nation bills.
In the states Of Ohio Illinois and Wis
cOnSin the state treasurer is not allowed
to receive any money, checks or drafts
except upon the written order of the
state auditor and the auditor is re-
quired, at the time of making the order,
to charge the state treasurer with the
amount represented in the order. Why
should the treasurers of those great
states stand the humiliation of being
restrained by law from receiving mon
ey except upon the written order of the
auditor and why do they submit to be-
ing charged with moneys. checks and
drafts before the state treasurer even
gets his hand on them. 1t is that sys-
tenn which 1 first proposed to meet the
Kansas emergency and which was con-
sidered by the state treasurer of Kan
sas to be a personal insult to which he
would not submit. We then agreed
upon continuation of the draft sys-
tenn esta blished by the legislature of
1905 so as to make that system include
all moneys due the state from any and
all sources. excepting fees paid in by
officers with departments located at
Topeka. Why does Mr.. Tulley not ask
the legislature to repeal chapter All,
laws of 1905, which requires him to
make drafts on county treasurer for
the tax money and which the Nation
bill proposed to be extended so as to
include moneys due the state from all
other sources. excepting state officers
with departments a the state house?

Eagle Pass, Tex. Feb. ga dis
patch from Las Esperanzas, Mexico,
says that 100 dead bodies have been
taken from the coal mine of the Mexi-
can Coal & Coke company in which
an explosion of gas occurred four days
ago. There are known to be % men
still in the shaft and it is practically
certain that all are dead. Nearly one
half of the dead miners are Japanese
several hundred men are at work
clearing away the debris of the mine
and opening a way to the imprisoned
men.
In nearly every instance identifica-
ton is impossible and women and
children crowd about every body that
is brought up. Eight vehicles are en-
gagged in the work or carrying the re-
mains to the cemetery and their pro-
gresS is entirely blocked at times by
the press of women who furiously de-
mand further opportunity to prosecute
their hopeless task of attempting to
identify the dead. The ten doctors in
attendance have been working with

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-27

After congress meets on December ?, many political things that are dark and dubious now will have the
 enlightening rays of partisanship
 thrown upon them. It will soon be apparent whether Speaker Cannon, Jim sherman and the other republi- can patriots, who dislike executive interference, and crave the contribu- tions of the trusts and corporations to help their reelection will stand up and fight for their share of the poodle or lay down as they did at the last session of congress. The republican congressional leaders talk very boldly in private of what they will do to those congressman who line up at the White House, and take orders from the great I am." But a mess of Roosevelt patronage is a great temp tation to some of the weak brethren The united standpatters are determin- ed to try and control the next con- gress. They don't care so much what kind of a tariff plank goes into the republican national platform, for they can ignore it and still continue to stand pat, if they have a safe ma jority," The sacred tariff must be preserved by these patriots at all hazard.
