CONGRESSTHISWEEK|
CANNON IS AGAIN REELECTED
SPEAKER In HOUSE.
Insurgents Failed to Gather the
Strength to Defeat the Four-time
Winner-Tariff Is All Important
Question and Business Will Be
Restricted to That Subject.

Both houses of congress are this week
in extraordinary session. 1t is the be-
ginning of the 61st congress and the
first act of Importance in the house
was the organization of that body. The
senate was already organized.
Later in the week the senate will
begin the reorganization of its stand
ing committees. Until this is accom-
plished little business will be under
taken. The house had an active
opening.
The republican caucus reelected
Speaker Cannon and other house officers.
There is doubt in the minds of some
as to just what may be done with ref
erence to the rules. If the insurgents
and their democratic allies should win,
the program for the introduction and
committee consideration of the tariff
bill might be different from what it
would be if the standpatters prevailed.
If Speaker Cannon s friends are vic
torious in the rules fight the presi-
dent IS message on the tariff will be re-
ceived Tuesday and the bill for revision
of the tariff will be introduced immedl-
ately. The speaker will then appoint
the committee on ways and means and
the bill will be referred to that com
mittee. 1t is understood that if the
selection of the committee is left to
the speaker he will designate all the
old members who were reelected. This
would leave but one vacancy, that
caused by the retirement of Mr.
Bonynge of Colorado, and it is init
mated that Representative Mondell OF
Wyoming will be chosen for that posi-
ton.
AS soon as practicable, within a day
after it is reported, the tariff bill viii
be taken up and the debate, which
will last from two to four weeks, viii
be launched.
While the senate can not formally
begin considering the tariff until afte
the bill has been transferred to it, tn,
committee on finance will discuss tn
subject so as to become well acquainted
, with it.
Every effort will be made in boil
houses to restrict legislation to tn
tariff, but it is possible that the bill
providing for the next census and
resolution changing the date of the in
: auguration of the president from Marc
} to some later date will be considered
The leaders, however, insist that quick
est action on the tariff can be obtaine
by holding congress exclusively to tina
subject and contend that the bushes
: interests of the country, which ar
, affected by the uncertainty regardin
< duties, are paramount to all considers
S tions.
One of the most important feature
f of the tariff bill is it's numerous dill
: ferences from the present law i
phraseology. These changes have bee
p made to clear up any ambiguity in tn
e Dingley bill and to make the ne7
: measure conform with the differen
: court rulings and those of the boar
: of appraisers.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN.
Years Work Begins Last Monday With Large A.
tendance-Buidng Crowded.

The city publis schools opened
Monday of this week with an en-
rollment of 30S which is almost
equal to the total enrolment of
lart year. More are entering ev-
cry day and Superintendent Re-
dus expects to have the largest
and best attendance of any pre-
vious session, so that, in the near
future a new and larger building
will be necessary in order to seat
all the children.
Three of the rooms are especial
ly crowded, notably the sixth and
seventh grades, the second and
third and the first grades, so that
a number will have to be seated
in other rooms.
There are eight in the corps of
teachers and it is one of the best
that could be secured. Even if
the present building does seem
to be large to some of us, several
of these teachers are even now
making complaints that they do
not have room enough to seat all
the students in their respective
grades. Canyon City bids fair to
make one of the best school towns
in the Panhandle or the state for
that matter, and we hope that
public schools will grow so large
that within the next two years a
ward school will be needed to &C
commodate the many children
coming into this growing city of
ours.
The following is a list with
their respective grades and the
number in each grade; Tenth
and Eleventh grades, Prof. J. L.
Redus, superintendent %
pupils: Ninth, Prof. Bowen Pope,
38; Eighth, Miss Bernice McDon-
aid, 80; Sixth and Seventh, Prof.
c. E. Coss, SO; Fifth, Miss Emma
Bryson, SO; Fourth, Miss Minta
Gillian, SO; Second and Third,
Miss Maude Cund, so; First,
Miss Emma Mel, so.

ORDERS ALLEYS OPENED.
Order Passed by City Council for Opening the
Passageways for Sewerage Work.

AT a special meeting of the city
council held last night an order
was passed requiring all alleys
in the city opened at once. This
order was made necessary on ac-

be approved at once and work on
the system begun within thirty
days.
The council proposes to take
dire steps against those who re-
fuse to open the alleyways at
once for they are determined that
the sewerage work shall be un-
trammeled when the contract is
let.
