eral Appropriation Bill Be-
fore Next Congress.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-The advocates
Of a general rivers and harbors appropris-
tion bill are making every effort to have
such a measure reported at the present
session OF congress. While the general
schemes for the Atlantic deeper water
ways project and the Lake to the Gulf
deeper waterways" project are not ready
for consideration by congress-, the Ohio
river project is in such shape as to require
only the moneys necessary for commenc-
ing the work.
This project. which is to make an ''sll-
year nine-foot waterway from Pittsburg
to Cairo, along the Ohio river. probably
will be the first large new inland projcC.
which will he presented to congress, and
the members of the house committee on
rivers and harbors are celebrating as to
whether a bill appropriating the money for
this work should oe reported at the present
session.
It is very likely that an emergency meas
ure will be reported by this committee
II It should decide not to report a general
appropriation bill, this measure to provide
funds for urgent projects in course OF
construction.
The committee will meet again on Mon
day to decide. II possible, what course Il
will pursue with reference to rivers and
harbors improvements. Many members will
introduce bills during the present session
calling for surveys of proposed waterways
improvements In order that their pet
projects may be in shape to be considered
in connection with a general rivers and
harbors bill when such a measure is to
be prepared.
Representative Ransdell OF Louisiana,
president of the Rivers and Harbors con-
gress, and a member Of the house com
mittee on rivers and harbors, will intro
duce a resolution within a few days which
will provide for a joint commission similar
in purpose TO the Joint monetary commits
sion. which would be empowered to en-
ploy experts and visit the countries OF
Europe In order to give congress complete
information with regard TO the policies of
other nations in improving waterways.

GRAND JURY NAMES ROWLAND
California Banker Caught in Spite of
the settlement Of His
Shortage.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Jan. 9.-Edward s.
Rowland, formerly cashier of the Bank Of
Healdsburg. has been indicted for alleged
shortages in his accounts OF $4,000. Ip his
statement to the bank examiners several
weeks ago he admitted being short S125. 900.
Following the disclosure of the shortages
in It's accounts the Bank OF Healdsburg
sold out to the Farmers and Mechanics
bank a few weeks ago. BY an agreement
then entered into between the directors OF
the bank n William Rowland, father of
the cashier, 1t was understood that young
Rowland was not to be prosecuted, his
father who is very wealthy, agreeing to
make good the shortages. Still, the action
of the grand jury was not entirely unex-
pected.

The Marysvllle cutoff Is about so per
cent completed and 1t will not take long in
the spring to finish that line. Rumor has
1t that the Union Pacific will try to get
trains in operation between Omaha and
Kansas City as early as possible, and to do
that may use the Rock Island lines between
Omaha and Lincoln.
Where the feeders will be built Is not
known on the outside, but that several are
planned Is certain. With the building of
the Panama canal the Union Pacific prob
ably would lose considerable Of its profit
able through business and then would have
to rely more on feeders, and thus would
the plan OF the railroad be changed. As the
country settles up these feeders are be-
coming more and more profitable.
Wyoming is also looking for Hartman
to invade that state with some more lines,
When the line is built to Northport It will
be a shorter run into the rich country to
the north which is now under the control
OF Hill and which will be more so when he
takes over the Colorado & Southern. With
the vast irrigation enterprises now under
way and the state settling up at a rapid
rate. Wyoming will demand more railroads
by the merits of the case.

TV1HAT little old ditty and scores Of others like
IT dedicated to the fly have led most or us TO
believe that this winged insect Is one OF the
beauties OF nature and JOY forever, when as
matter of fact IL Is pestiverous pest and TO It's
activities can be traced much of the disease and
death OF the world.
1t is estimated that In New York City last sum
mer nearly 5000 deaths from typhoid fever and
other contagious diseases were due to the spread
of dangerous germs by the musca domestca as
this diminutlye bit Of creation is known TO science.
Ir Chicago, half that many deaths were probably
due to the ny. and I'm other cities like proper
ton, while throughout the United states many
tens OF thousands Of men, women and children
die every year because Of the fly pest If the
death toll that the world pays TO the fly could be
counted up it would be found that the sacrifice
mounts up into the hundreds OF thousands OF hui

sources Of infection which in New York City
causes annually about $50 deaths from typhoid

diseases" said Dr. Daniel ID, Jackson OF New York

This scientist DR.. Jackson, captured a fly
last summer South street, New York which up
on examination was found to be carrying in it's
mouth and it's legs one hundred thousand
disease bacteria. He had been walking de.
caying matter and probably on his way to
the nearest milk pitcher when caught.
At the time of epidemic of typhoid fever in
Chicago in 1902 the health authorities satisfied
themselves that flies responsible for it's
spread. At that time lot OF flies captured

teen different tubes. In five OF these tubes were
found typhoid germs in lar numbers.

It has been concusively shown that many of the
cases of typhoid attributed to defective plumbing
are not to be laid at the door of the plumber but
the fly. Without reservation, Prof J.. o. Howard
entomologist of the U. S. department of agricu
ture, makes the above statement, and he adds that
the fly is the principal agent in the spread OF ty
phoid above all others.

THE fly is little, but it is numerous that it's
numbers more than make up for its litteness
It is shortlived, also, but 1t mulplies marVelously
Its rapid breeding makes it dangerous and de-
mands united fight upon it,
It is conservatively estimated that an average
female fly will lay at least 120 eggs, although some
put the figure at 1900 for the season, There
about ten generations of flies in a If these
factors are put together, it can be seen that under
favorable circumstances single fly will pro-
duce offspring whose numbers almost beyond
belief.
Just to illustrates: If II were supposed that each
fly that is hatched were to live and reproduce its
12O flies and each of these were to live and repro
duce it's 120, the resulting offspring would number
up into the quintillions. The first fly would pro-
duce l2O; these would produce 120 times that

Fortunately the fly meets with many accidents
in the course Of its existence and only small per-
centage reach maturity, and yet at that they multi
ply tremendously when unmoested,
on the other hand, when you annihilate fly,
you destroy potential billions OF flies The evil is
great, but it's prevention is comparatively easy.
The American people have so far considered the
fly chiefly joke Some day il will be looked
upon of mans worst enemies and dealt
with accordingly. Science is calling for n

generally falls into line the sooner will the enor-
