struck by either a street car or a
switch engine which he alleged to

Mitchell headforemost onto his head,

are serious. but Mitchell is reported to
be making light of them with the pro-

details which are reported by some
of the members of the commission.
Captain Samuel Edwards, United
States engineer, stationed at Du-
buque, accompanied the commission
and he had much to say regarding
the future of the waterways. The
captain said:
1--WE had excellent weather prac-
tically during the entire trip. On the
upper Mississippi we were delayed
few times by fog and bars, while be-
low ST. Louis we tied up one night
on account of a storm. We made up
the time by cutting short our stops,
and reached New Orleans on time.

work of Importance was passed with

Tribute to Burton.
Senator Burton, as chairman of
the national waterways commission,
perhaps took more notice than any
body. I consider Senator Burton the
greatest authority on inland water
ways improvement in the United
States. if not in the world. He is a
brilliant man, nothing escaping his
notice. Just returning from an in
spection of rivers in Europe, he was
up to all the latest improvements, as
were, of course, also the other mem
bers.
THE commission was impressed
with the possibilities of the Mississ-
| ippi, but disappointed to see the small
amount of traffic compared with Ger
man rivers having a much smaller
deposit of water.
| Mississippi River Not Dead Yet.
zone of my duties was to pre-
pare list of all boats passed on this
trip, and though not many were pass
ed under steam, still counting boats
running at bank but under steam and
boats laid up for the winter, the list
was quite presentable.
Between ST. Paul and st. Louis
we saw 80 steamboats, and between
st. Louis and New Orleans 100, max
! ing 200 boats in the trade. We also
passed about 800 barges loading or
unloading cargoes. Considering that
boats on the Ohio river tied up on
account of low water, the showing
did not seem so bad. We noticed a
great many dredges below Memphis
and especially above New Orleans
dredging coal, and were informed
that the gulf stream storm of about
six weeks ago sank 200 coal barges,
each containing 1000 tons. 1t was
thought that perhaps one-half would
be recovered.
This accounts for so many large
ocean vessels at New Orleans, they
being unable to get coal to leave port.
The raise of a week ago is enabling
boats to get out of the Ohio to some
extent. and all is being done to get
coal to New Orleans. 1t will take
some time though to replace 100000
tons of coal.
VIII Give Report.
mo, can give no idea of what the
report, of the commission will be, in
fact, it would not be proper for me
to anticipate anything of the kind
AS stated, they consider the Mississ-
| ippi river one Of the greatest rivers In
the world, but cannot understand
why the people do not use what they
| have.
Senator Burton s yes one explana-
ton, saying the pc ole of the United
States do not trave Every much. Take
for instance Germ any, the passenger
travel is so great that railroads sim
ply have no fxciIitfes for handling
anything else, and it is absolutely
necessary to use the rivers.
New Orle ms, Mr.. Burton says, is
the finest sFbor in the world, and,
considering the fact that the city is
now spending millions, it will no
doubt be tie greatest before long.

that his clients were being threaten

particulars Chillingworth stated the
two japanese had been approached in
the lookup and told that they had
better plead guilty; that the Young
hotel was a rich concern and would
stick them at any cost, the shortest
and best way out OF the trouble being
to plead guilty and seek the mercy of
the court. This statement was denied

In every lease of such lands to renew
the lease upon request OF the lessee
unless the premises covered by the
lease are desired for public uses, OF
which proposed uses the lessee must
be given notice at least one year prior
20 the expiration of his term. The re-
PEAL of this section would relieve the
Superintendent of Public Works OF
the obligation to insert IN such leases
such covenant and would also take
from him power to do so. After rea-
coming out that the Organic Act does
not prohibit legislation modifying the
powers and the duties of the Superin-
tendent of Public Works with regard
&c lands under his control, the com
mittee finds this conclusion:
your committee believes that the
section should be repealed. as it only
forces a perpetual line on the Govern
ment, thereby tying up the lands OF
the Territory and preventing the Gov
eminent from making more advanta-
geous uses of the lands held by II.
Your committee therefore recommends
that the bill pass"

There were cases of persons charged
