Washington, Dec. 6.-The Sixty
Hrst congress Of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
Of it's first regular session, with Vice
President Sherman in the chair of the
senate, and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non in the chair in the House. While
this congressional gathering is the
first regular session, it is the second
session in reality, for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call of President Taft to consider
the matter of revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning of
the extraordinary session in March
last the speaker of the House was
elected. Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
ters. The appointment Of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part
of the members for choice chairman
ships and, If the chairmanships were
not forthcoming, for seats in the more
important subsidiary bodies Of the
Hous.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so
is that, so far as committee work js con-
concerned, the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
legislation, but most of the members
have brought themselves into frame
of mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings Of DISAPPOINTMENT and
perhaps, anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were damned with people. All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as well, was filled
to it's fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the Ia
dies of the different legations. Mem
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries; and the cabinet and judici-
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
BY a rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory of some deceased member.
The result of this rule is that now on
the opening days of congress the
desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old days

sion, he gave no evidence of it when
he took the chair as presiding officer.
He was greeted with great applause
from the galleries and from the floor
of the House, many of the Democrats
and insurgents joining in the demon
stration, though in either case pos
sibly the hand-clapping was given az
an evidence of regard for the office
of speaker, rather than as evidence Of
any overweaning affection for the
speaker himself
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
it's winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered in
committee, and the meetings of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu'
airy many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening OF the Senate.
Vice President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, the chaplain of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily, was taken by a local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the senators
were in their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that COM
mittees be appointed TO inform the
House and the president that the Sen.
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives, desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol
icies.
After a comparatively short session
Gin the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomin-
atoms for office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

Absentees Are Few.

AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and it was
found that there were only few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed resolution to in
form the House of Representatives
that a quorum of the Senate being as
sembled, that body was ready to pro-
coed to business. The House also
was told that the Senate had appoint
ed a committee to join House COM
mittee to inform the president of the
United States that quorum of each
house was present and that congress
was ready to receive any communica-
ton that he may be pleased to
make" On receipt of this message

both House and Senate were turned
into Conservatives for the time of the
opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden,
to offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in sense Thanksgiving offer
ering, the chaplain referred to the
prosperity of the country, the oppor-
tunities of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.

The demolition Of the present bank

is the last to leave the old pile and
it is getting ready to move as fast

be made to have it completed by the

FERTILE VALLEY
Capt. Williams Gets Samples of Pro-
ducts Raised Along M. & o.
Sends Part to Washington.

1t is interesting to note the range
of agricultural products of the Mis-
sissippi valley especially in the line
of food products apd cattle feed. A
short time ago Capt. VIM. Williams
of the Mobile & Ohio railroad sent
circular letters to station agents
along the line of the road from Okla
Iona TO East St Louis, asking for
samples of the agricultural products
of the different sections. To date he
has received samples of timothy, rye
wheat, alfalfa, red clover, herds
grass, red top, oats and white clover.
The men along the road report in re-
gard to the size of this years crop
that some will get only about half a
crop while others will get full crop.
They report that the rye crop will
be good, but that on account of SOW
ing oats SO late very small crop
of that will be gotten.
Capt Williams sends some of the
samples to the Land and Industrial
agent OF the Southern and Mobile &
Ohio railroads where they are labeled
according to section. 'rhe better
samples are then pirked out and
sent over the two systems to show
people In one locality what can ha
raised in another and encourage them
in their work
