Washington, Jan. 1.-THE largest
river aud har5or bill in the history of
the country was reported to the house
today by Chairman Burtons COM
nlittee, ub-committees of which have
been holding sessions during the hol-
iday recess.
The appropriations made In II will
approximate SS0,000,000. About
three-eights of the appropriations in
the bill will be for cash expenditures,
and the remaining five-eights will be
authorized for projects extending out
n number of years, some of which
are nov under way. Not for IA years
has such big budget been prepared
by the rivers and harbors committee
The bill which was passed In 1905
carried a total of s35. 1865 of which
s1S.1Sl.S75 was in cash and $17,1S4,-
G57 was authorized.
This afternoon the matter will be
discussed, and It is expected there
will be contest over the adoption of
the plan for the 14-foot waterway
from Chicago to ct. Louis costing
S?1,000,OO0. The members from the
Mississippi valley will favor the pro-
ie"t. but II looks rs If the measure
will not receive recognition at this
session. The prevailing idea is that
only such undertakings as can be
finished within reasonable time will
receive sanction.
morning said that it would be the pol
icy to finish all the most important
improvements now under way and
that steps will he taken as soon rs
possible to improve New York harbor.
This plan includes the enlargement of
Ambrose Channel, from point Just
below the narrows in a southeasterly
direction 10 the sea This was origin
ally estimated to cost Sc, 900 .OOO, but
contract was entered into for s4.-
100000. The work now in progress
is being done by government drcdges
Considerable concern has been eX-
pressed by the army officers, who
have the river ana harbor improve
ments in charge, lest the enforcement
of the eight-hour law in government
contract work increases their cost
Some have estimated the increased
cost as high as % to so per cent. rhe
validity of the law has been question
cd by the contractors, and it Is prob
able that a test case will enter the
supreme court in a few days. Decis.
ions of the lower courts have sustain
ed the new law. These officers saw
that the natural increase is only a
small part of that due TO the law.
There was never greater pressure
for river and harbor legislation than
at present and among the new pro-
1ects that will probably carry are a
new 500" lock and alternating chan
ncls, in the Detroit river at a cost of
$1,000. 900, the deepening of the har-
hor at Boston, and extensive improve
ments of the Delaware and Mississip-
pi rivers.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.
Immense Output and Demand for
Grain and Livestock.

Winnipeg, Canada, Jan. 14.-Fig-
ures published today indicating the
prosperity Of western Canada, show
that the grain crop Of the three prov
inces totaled 291,02O,14S bushels, and
that up to date 53,7291OO bushels Of
wheat have been marketed. There
are 1900 interior elevators, and yet
these are insufficient to handle the
grain crop with the present car sup
ply Of the railways.
The cattle industry also is a very
important factor in the country's
wealth, S4,O29,639 net having been
paid to ranchers alone last year, and
prices ruling fairly high, an average
Of over s47 "A head for export steers
being paid. Some 130, 900 head of cat
tie were received at the Winnipeg
stockyards. and $4,000 were carried
to the seaboard over the Canadian
Pacific, an increase of $1,000 COM
pared with the previous. year.
The supply of hogs was altogether
inadequate to meet the demands OF
the market, and an average price of
$711 per cwt. prevailed. The supply
of sheep was much below the require
ment.

County Clerk Frank Sailing has
completed his annual statement of
the county's expenses, and forwarded
the same to the secretary of state as
required by law. The total general
expenses during the past year. as
shown by the report, was s5S S.065.l5,
which is less than that of 1906 when
the amount ran up to s67,S54.S9. For
1904 the expense was s4b,493.6l.
But while the general expenses last
year were lower than those of the year
previous the amount expended for
roads and bridges was mdch greater.
During 1906 a total of $52.244.77 was
spent on bridge and road work, while
during 1905 but $4,000 was so used.
The extra expense during the past
year was made necessary largely by
the damage inflicted by the flood last
spring.
The following is a detailed state
ment just made by the county clerk
for the purpose of showing the gem
eral expenses of the county.
