SAYS INTERESTS" FORCED BOSS
EsINLAsT CONGRESS TO BOW
DOWN TO THEM.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Senator iona
than P. Dolliver, of Iowa. in speech
delivered at the Press Club here to-
day. advanced the theory that the
most hopeful sign about the last Con-
sress was not what the Congress did,
but the fact that it did not do it unan-
imously. He also said that he be-
lieyed President Taft's attitude to-
ward the insurgents" at the coming
sessions will be friendly, and that the
President had done all he could do in
the tariff matter, as Congress and not
the President, revised the tariff
1.-The real insurgents at the extraor-
binary session of Congress were not
the few men who tried to represent
the public and faithfully carry out the
pledges of the party platform" said
the Senator, but the interesting
group of private interests to whose
threats to defeat legislation the lead
ers of the party bowed down for the
sake of harmony"

Conrad Holler, a carpenter, testified
to cutting out a portion of the wooden
stanchion OF No. / scales. Through
the hole cut the government contends

Thomas d. Hyatt, government
weigher, was asked if he had inspect

NEEDS OF NAVY
TOLD BY MEYER
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HEAD
OF UNCLE SANS SEA
FIGHTERS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3.-De-
spite the agitation to close some OF
the navy yards along the Southern
coast. Secretary of the Navy Meyer
will oppose any such step for the pres
ent. This much was made plain In
his annual report submitted to Presi-
dent Taft today
Secretary Meyer says that he is not
entirely convinced that the Govern
ment can advantageously give up sites,
in which large expenditures have been
made. until after the opening of the
Panama Canal. when it definitely can
be demonstrated which are likely to
be of the greatest value.
1T is not unknown in the history OF
the Government" says the Secretary.
that national reservations have been
given up and later were bought back
at increased cost"
Again in discussing the same sub
ject. he says that the completion or
the Panama Canal, the development OF
trade in the Gulf of Mexico and the
whole Caribbean region, and the prob
able increase of the naval establish
ment to meet our national responsible
tiles in that area will probably call
for supply stations, in part for the
heavy feet, but principally for the tor
pedo craft and submarines and the
smaller vessels needed there"

camps had been robbed of men to
guard the soft grades above and be-
low the bridge. The new track up
and down the valley had become a
highway of escape from the flood, and
the track patrols were met at every
curve by cattle, horses, deer, wolves
and coyotes fleeing from the waste
of waters.
Through the Dunning ranch the
Crawling Stone river makes a far
bend across the valley to the north
and east. The extraordinary volume
of water now pouring through the Box
canyon exposed 10000 acres of the
ranch to the caprice of the river, and
If at the point of its tremendous sweep
to the north it should cut back into it's
old channel the change would wipe
the entire body of ranch alfalfa lands
off the face of the valley. With the
heat of the frightening June days a
vast steam rose from the chill waters
of the river, marking in ominous wind
ings the channel of the main stream
through a yellow sea which, ignoring
the usual landmarks of trees and
dunes, flanked the current broadly on
either side. Late in the afternoon of
the day that Dicksie with Marion
sought McCloud, a storm drifted down
the Topaz Topaz hills, and heavy
showers broke across the valley.
At nightfall the rain had passed and
