Dam May Be compIeted-llIinois Plan
for Issue Of $2o,ooo,oo0 Bonds Un,
doubtedIy kilIed-OnIy Hope Now
in Government.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 8.-A heavy
blow was dealt the deep waterway adj
vocates Thursday afternoon in an
opinion prepared by Attorney General
Stead at the request of Gov. Deneen.
The opinion deals with the n%avigabil-
ity of the D%esplaines river and the
states rights in the stream.
Briefly, Mr.. Stead %interprets the
law on the subject as follows:
"The navigability Of the Desplaines
river is a question of fact and not Of
law. If the Desplaines river is not
navigable in fact, no action will lie by
the state to remove, or prevent, the
completion of the dam now in course
Of construction by the Economy Light
& Power Company of Joliet at Ores.
den Heights. The Economy company
holds a valid lease to state property
at the site Of the Dresden Heights
dam and may use this land for the
construction Of the dam, even to the
extent of flooding the same"
Probably Kills the Scheme.
Under this ruling prospects OF a
deep waterway go glimmering unless
the people vote an expenditure of $780,
OOO, 900 to deepen the waterway with
the knowledge that the power created
will yield millions of dollars to the
Economy company, instead of to the
state.
This Is considered so remote, how
ever, that there appears small pros
poets of even an attempt on the part
Of the state to have the question
passed upon.
According to the Stead opinion, in
the judgment Of lawyers who ex'
amined the document, the only chance
for the state to acquire title to any
water power along the channel of the
proposed ship canal is to buy outright
at condemnation sale, the riparian
| rights of abutting land owners. The
outlay required for this would be sc
stupendous that such a plan probably
would be dismissed without serious
consideration.
1t appears now to be up to the
United States government to proceed
with the deep waterway movement, i
the dreams Of the promoters Of thu
lakes-to-the-gulf deep sea canal are tt
be realized.

MUST RETAIN PHILIPPINES
CONGRESSMAN M'klNNEY TELLS
OF THEIR GREAT WEALTH.
Declares the Tariff on Sugar and To.
bacco Should Be Removed
at Once.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-After an ex.
tended tour of the orient, Philippines
and Hawaii, Congressman James Nc
Kinney, from the Rock Island district,
Illinois, returned to this city Friday
on the steamer Persia, and will pro,
coed east at once.
AS a member of the territorial COM
mittee which left here last June, Con-
gresham Mckinney visited Honolulu
and later the Philippines, where an.
exhaustive study of conditions was
made. According to the congressman.
we must never entertain any idea Of
letting the islands go. He said:
The resources Of the islands are
unbounded. Great coal, copper and
gold deposits have been found and
even greater wealth seems in store
for the United States in other re-
spects. The immense timber hold
ings, for instance.
There is n thing" he added,
that must be done quickly for the
Philippines if America would better
conditions there, and that is to re-
move the revenue on sugar and to-
bacco."
At Honolulu, Congressman McKin-
ney declared, shipping conditions
should be more encouraged, although
prosperity was to be found on all
sides. While proceeding to Hong
kong the congressman experienced a
terrible typhoon while a passenger on
the steamer Kow Loon. During his
stay in Japan he was shown every
courtesy and says that he failed to no
tice any belligerent attitude on the
part of the Japanese.
Other arrivals from the orient on
the Persia were American Consul J.
Boyd from Shanghai, and ]. Fl. Sharp,
stationed at Kobe, apan.

A Vain Roaster.

A farmer in central New York state
has in his employ a mar named
George, whose understanding is not
very acute. One day as his employer
came out to the field where he was
working, George hailed him: "say,
boss, who do o like best, Mr.. Cor
mar or Mr.. Carney" naming two min
listers whose churches are in the neigh
borhood. WELL" said the farmer, II
couldn't say. I never heard Mr.. Cor
ina preach" II don't like that man
Carney" said George; "he brags too
much. I went to his church last Sun.
day and he didn't talk about anything
but his fathers mansions and brag
about how much finer they were than
any one elso's."-Lippincott's Maya
