COUNCIL CARRIES OVER
EXTENSION QUESTION
AMERICS RAILWAY LIGHT CO. CONTRACT DISCUSSED BEFORE CITY
FATHERS BY PRESIDENT DODSON--FRAk STATEMENT AS
TO DIFFICULTIES ENCOLNTERED-.-A ALLEN OPPOSED
GRANTING FURTHER TME---PRESENT LIMIT is JULY g.

By voting to lay on the table the
question of extending the time for
the preparation of bond by the
Americus Railway & Light Company
the City Council last night at the
same time extended the life of the
contract of the company with the
city to the next meeting of City Coun-
Gil, at least. The contract for COM
pleting the street railway and pump
ing station expires July g.
Alderman Allen voted for the mo-
ton to lay the matter on the table,
but later when he found that the eff
feet of the vote was to extend the
contract, he desired to record his
vote in the negative President Haw-
kins ruled that it was too late.
Much interest was manifested in
the meeting of the City Council last
night, the room being filled with cit
liens. The meeting was also the
time for reading the annual reports
Of the various officers, and this added
to the attendance But the chief in
terest attached to the course to be
pursued in the case of the Americus
Railway and Light Company.
Plea for Extension.
Mr. w. A Dodson, Vice-President
of the new company, made a plea for
an extension of time for his company
He stated that he had been doing his
best in behalf Of the project Work
had been carried on at the new plant
until the building was finished ex-
cept for the roof and putting in the
windows. He explained that every
thing was of the most substantial ma
ture, and that the plant was built for
supplying the needs of the city for
fifty years.
The difficulties on account of the
financial stringency were detailed
but the speaker said everything was
in fine shape.
Mr.. Dodson went somewhat into
details as to his company. When
first organized, it contained a prom
inent Pennsylvania congressman who
had since dropped out The Disstons
were interested at first, and efforts
were made to get them to take the
entire bond issue. In this the pro-
moters of the company were success
full, declared Mr. Dodson, who told of
the visit of representatives of the
estate to Americus last week Before
they left they assured Mr. Dodson
that they would furnish all funds nee
essary for the completion of the con-
tract in every deail

CROP OUTLOOK IN
OKLAHOMA GOOD

Mr.. A. w Allison returned yester-
day afternoon from a trip to Oklaho-
ma, where Mrs Allison and family
are spending the summer. In speak
ing of the crops in the new state, Mr..
Allison said that the wheat, the sta
pie crop, was in good condition.
Heavy rains had proved detrimental
in a measure, but a part of the dam
age had been retrieved. The cotton
crop was reported fair, having been
interfered with greatly by the rains.
He also reported that financial con-
ditions seemed to be more settled, and
that hopeful feeling existed among
the farmers.

Fight Over Labor Planks

1t is clear that the big fight ol
the convention is to be over the la
Dor planks, and especially that re-
lating to the issuance of injunctions
1t will certainly a bone of con
tention in the Committee on Resolu-
tionS, and possibly on the floor OF
the convention itself
1t has come Indirectly from Lin
coin that Mr.. Bryan is in favor of a
plank of somewhat radical nature
and it is certain that such men as
Roger and Sullivan, National Com
mitteeman from Illinois, and Chair
man Taggart of the National Com
mittee are strongly opposed to such
action
Reports have been circulated that
if an anti-injunctiOn plank is adopted
more radical in its character than the
Illinois people feel they can ap-
prove, the State, when it comes to
balloting Off President, will break
from its Bryan instructions.
Sullivan denied this emphatically
today. He said:
1--WE are told tc stick for Bryan
and we are going to stick. / do moi
believe than any platform fight
can change our present programme
Illinois has no idea of breaking away
from its instructions.
The forces opposed to a radical la
bor plank were made stronger today
by the arrival Of Charles c. Heifnel
of Washington State, who has tht
proxy of John Y. Terry, the Nationa
Committeeman. He announced EN-
phatically that the Pacific Coast wa
opposed to the adoption of such
plank as was presented at Chicago

cials of the American Federation o

The hundreds of friends of Judge

that the latter has improved some
what within the past forty-eight

recovery brightens. The operation

OUTRIGGER CANOES
FOR SEATTLE FAIR
Would Be Attractive and
Suggestive Of Ole
Hawaii

Shooting over the breeze-swept wa
tiers of Lake Washington, along the
shores of which the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition will be held in
1909, ancient and modern Hawaiian
outrigger sailing canoes will probably
be seen In all their native glory next
summer. On those same waters, in
the oitien days, the Siwash, Chinook,
and Quinault Indians padded their
birch-bark or dug-out canoes on the
still hunt for the wary deer, search-
ed along the brushy banks for signs
OF the numbering bear! or skinned
easily and peacefully over the waters
of the lake. This is a sight of which
every Westerner and almost every
person In the States has q mind-pic-
ture.
But an outrigger canoe Is practi-
cally unknown in the Northwest.
Remarkable for the speed that these
little craft can attain when helped
BY sail. the outrigger canoes would
undoubtedly be greatly admired and
prove an excellent advertisement for
the Islands, II taken to Seattle. and

MESSENGER OF JOY.
Santa Claus PiItz Will
Carry Presents To
Midway

Santa Claus Piltz will sail. with
his load of Christmas cheer for the
Midway hermits. on Saturday morn
Ing next at 10 o'clock. The trim lit
tie schooner Flaurence Ward, which
connects the cable company's en-
.ployes on the thiny island with the
rest Of the world, will arrive at her
destination just about ten days be-
fore the date lawfully set for the de-
scent Of Santa Claus, but she will be
none the less WELCOME.
Though the popufation OF the Mid
way Islands is about the smallest of
that Of any inhabited spot on the
globe, the Flaurence Ward will car
ry, according to present outlook. ten
or more sacks of mail. The mail will
include Christmas letters from rela-
tives and friends who live In less out
of-the-way places, choice dainties
such az custom demands shall grace
the dinner table on Christmas Day,
and a general assortment Of presents
and other remembrances.
In addition there will be a large
assortment Of magazines and other
periodicals, for the cable company
keeps its employees as well supplied
with the best reading matter as It
can.
This trip IL considered, by Captain
Piltz. the worst in the year. Storms
are likely to interfere with the prog
ress OF the little schooner and condi-
lions are likely to be pretty uncom-
Portable for both officers and crew.
Nevertheless. 1t is safe to surmise
that never was the white schooner
sighted with greater pleasure by the
castaways than she will be when, an

cleaning sides are first detected by
the eager watchers on the island.
