ROOSEVELT AND CONGRESS.

These are stormy times in
Washington. If Roosevelt ever had
any chance to get congress to pass
any legislation he desired, he has
certainly lost that chance now by
his unfortunate propensity to WELD
the big stick carelessly and without
looking to see whom he hits. His
intentions may be all right, but his
impulsive nature, coupled with his
intense egotism, makes it impos-
sible for him to get the co-opera
tion so vitality necessary for the sue
cess of his propositions. In his an
nual message he threw bricks at
congress for limiting the scope Of
operation of the secret service men
in the treasury department, and he
charged that the congressman did
this because they were afraid of
being Investigated themselves.
Then when congress resented this,
he claimed that he did not mean
this-doubtless having used the ex-
preston in a "Pickwickian sense. -
Then he made specific attack on
some of the republican leaders in
congress, notably Tawney of Min
nesota, placing the latter on the
roster of the famous Ananias Club.
Tawney retorted by handing the
president a certificate of member
ship, fully paid up and non-assess-
able. in the same club. Then con-
gress did something unprecedent-
ed; it voted to expunge that part
of the president message from the
records, only fifteen votes being re-
corded against the proposition.
Deserted by his own party, desert
ed by the democrats. who have
really been his strongest supporters
in congress, Roosevelt stand with
only corporal's guard at his side
not because he has advocated the
wrong thing, but because Of his
overbearing disposition and his in
ability to recognize any good mo-
tives in any person that did not
humbIy kowtow to anything the
great and only Teddy did and said.
The deplorable result shows that
tact and forbearance are necessary
qualities in any public servant if he
wishes to accomplish anything.
A prominent man in state and
national politics remarked some
months ago: u believe tn t
Roosevelt will 60 out Of office the
most unpopular man that eyer oc-
cupied the place" 1t sounded
strange and unbelievable, but re-
cent events seeern to justify the as
sertion. Events have demonstrated
that ability at scoIding is not a de-
sirable asset for public man.
The verdict of history on Roosevelt
will probably be: ''He went at
the right thing in the wrong way,
and failed"

Independent Telephones.

A concerted effort is now being
made to organize an association OF
independent telephone companies
in the Seventh congressional dis
trict. The need of such an associa-
tion is clearly set forth in a letter
which has been sent out to the vari-
GUS companies in the district, and
in which each company is requested
to send a delegate to conference
to be held at 2 o'clock p. M, Feb.
10, at the Commercial Club rooms
in this city. The letter follows:
Willmar, Minn.. Jan, l8, '09.
Gentlemen:-At meeting of in
dependent telephone companies held
at Willmar on Jan. Is, '09, it was
decided to start an association of
Independent Telepehone companies
in the Seventh congressional dis
trict.
There were several companies
represented, and the need Of an as
sociation was discussed, and all
present felt it was a move in the
right direction, as in unity there
is strength. We are all aware that
there are several abuses in our busi=
ness which by suggestions may be
overcome. Such subjects as rates,
division of territory between differ
ent companies, buying OF material,
building of lines, etc., to be dis
cussed.
Now, gentlemen, we are going
to earnestly ask you to send at least
one delegate to this meeting, as it
is no small undertaking to start an
ASSOCIATION of this size, and we will
ask that you do not act lukewarm
in this matter but be live wire"
and come and help make the meet
ing on Feb. 10 a success,
The meeting is to be held at the
rooms Of the Commercial Club, over
the Kandiyohi County Bank, at 2
o'clock p. m. Be sure to come.
Respectfully.

Sivert Olson, respected citizen of
this township, passed away las
Tuesday evening at II o'clock, it
Minneapolis, where he went about
six weeks ago to consult a physi-
clan. The sad news has cast a
gloom over all who knew him. He
was kind husband and father and
a good neighbor. Sivert Olson was
born Sept. IS, 1862, at Oftmarken,
Kongsvinger, Norway, and came to
this country about 26 years ago.
On Sept. Is, 1890, he was united in
marriage to Louise Thompson, who
survives him. Four children were
born to them, of whom three are
living-Albert, Sigurd and Olga.
He also leaves his stepmother, who
lives in Norway, seven brothers and
five sisters. Three of the brothers
and one sister live at the old home
in Norway; the others live in diff
ferent parts of this country. Fu-
neral services were held last Satur-
day at $50 from the house, and the
remains were laid at rest in the
cemetery adjoining the Green Lake

was faithful and active member.

ICE JAM AT DALLES
WONDERFUL SIGHT

Never before'in the history OF The
Dalles at this season of the year has
the Columbia river risen as rapidly as
it has within the last twenty four
hOuts, says The Dalles Chrcnicle
Between the hours of O'Clock Tues
day aud during the following hour
and half 1t went up a foot and a
half more. At 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon stood at II s feet above
zero.
At Seufert's cannery the river raised
twenty-six feet, the ice being thrown
up in piles between forty aud fifty feet
high, towering up as high as the
bluffs on either side CT the river.
The ice jam was the cause OF the
water rising so rapidly. The immense
amount OF ice in the Columbia here
prevents the water from flowing down
stream, causing it to back up here.
The river began rising early tuesday
evening aud the roar OF the waters
could he heard az they came tearing
down the channel on the opposite side
of the i9e foe, carrying ico bergs with
it until, hy the force of the water ris-
ing under the ice gorge, 1t raised in
heaps and mountains, 10 places If
teen feet in height.
The ferry got up steam early Wed
nesday morning In it's place below
Hungry Herhor where 1t was taken
for safety A soow has floated around
from China creek to near the ferry
and its sails are wide spread. Mum.
erous small boats are standing on end
along the edge OF the river having
boen turned IN that position by the
tremendous force of the ice. The
warehouse piling and sheds used by
theaRegulstor line we're wrecked Tues
day night by the ice Jam. Freight IN
the sheds was also damaaed and the
total lOss to the steamship company Is
estimated at $1,000.
One of the most wonderful things
that has happened in connection with
the rise in the river aud breakup OF
the ice, perhaps, was the voluntary
moving Tuesday night OF tho Regu.
lator dock which came down stream
from the place it was taken tor safety
just prior to the freeze, above the
usual position, and on it came past
the Open River dock to the mouth OF
Mill creek from where 1t was towed
farther up the latter stream Wednes-
day morning. This was an act the
dock would not perform once in
thousand times, perhaps, for the dan
ger of being crushed Was great.
Another unusual thing il that no
force could have possibly gotten the
wharf boat in its present position.
Those having launches and small
boats have been busy trying to get
them to places of safety.
Five Indians we're busy trying to
save their fishing boats that we're
caught in the ice near the ferry. The
slwashes say they had nearly 500
worth of seins, nets and other fishing
tackle in the boats and they are anx.
iously laboring to save their outfits.
All day streams of people have been
going down to SOS the river as never
before has it risen so rapidly as it did
last night. at this time or year.
