in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware
and New Jersey for information, and

made public"
How soon win the committee
hold a session in this county?' the
senator was asked.
Not until after election" was the
reply. II have heard that it is said
! am merely holding that matter off
until just before election in order to
boom my campaign. Now, as mat
ter OF fact, although we are about
ready to begin our public meetings,
| shall request Senator Bradley, the
chairman, not to call any until after
election, for fear of being miscon-
strued and accused of using the
canal committee as campaign
lever.
''The object desired is a fair and
thorough investigation, that will
truly bring out the facts This can
not be done now, because many who
would otherwise testify and give In
formation would not do so now If
they thought political advantage
were the purpose.
What the nature of the informa-
tion thus far gathered is, the senator

SENA TOR SILzER ON
THE CANAL PROBE

New Brunswick, Oct. 14:-wMany
people are wondering what has be-
come of the investigation of the Del
aware and Raritan Canal, so re-
porter sought Senator George S.
Si1Eer and asked for information.
Senator Silzer Is not only a mem
Der of the senate committee for the
investigation of the canal, but he
was instrumental In securing the
naming of the committee, having in
troduced the resolution which pro-
vided for it.
The senator was asked If any pro-
gress had been made In the investi-
cation, and why the committee has
not yet held any public hearings.
1--WE have made considerable pro-
gress in the investigation" he said,
but there has been such great
amount OF preliminary detail work
that we have been unable to prepare
for public hearings.
Few people realize the immensl-
ty of the task involved In going over
the history of the operation OF the
canal during the past thirty or forty
years. We have been quietly at
work on it, though, and have accum-
ulated mass OF material relative to
rates, tonnage, maintenance and
operation, both before and after the

RECORDS IDEA

ter in the day that few days ago
George H. Record, head Of the new
idea faction of the republican party
in Hudson county, made special trip
to Spring Lake to talk to the governor
on the subject of naming successor
to Baird. Record told the governor
that he would be committing telling
political stroke to call the senate to-
gether at once and relegate Baird to
private life. Record also urged the
governor to act favorably on his sug-
gestion for the reason that II would
tend to strengthen Mark Pagan s can
didacy for mayor of Jersey City. The
governor told Record before the latter
left him that he would not call spe-
cial session of the senate for the pur-
pose of summarily ousting Baird from
office.

Hof such "trip has been carefully
gone into, and when the board found

tween 500 and $500 they decided

EXAMINATIONS ARE ON
Smallest Glass of Applicants For
Several Years Writing For
Teachers Certificates.

The smallest class in many years
OF applicants for teachers certificates,
is writing on the semi-annual examin'
ations at the courthouse this week
Forty applicants are writing for state
papers, II for county papers and the
work of z others will be sent in fol
grading in Polk county, making
and actual total Of only Ga. The aver,
age for years has ranged between 75
and 1876.
In the whole list Of GA, there are only
seven men taking the examinations,
four for county papers. From that
fact, the claim that mail teachers are
rapidly retiring from that field OF
work, seems we'll sustained.
A number Of the teachers from
remote districts are staying in the
city while the examinations continue,
but many residing in Monmouth and
Independence come over each morn
ing for their examination work and
return home on the evening motor.
The examinations for county pa
pers will close tonight and the appli-
cants will be able TO learn
the results of the grading some
time tomorrow. The state exam
nations will continue until Saturday
night. The grades on those papers
cannot be given so promptly as in the
case of the county examinations owing
to the fact that the papers must be
sent to the State Board.

Assessor G. s. Graves returned Wed
nesday from Salem, where he had
been summoned to appear with the
other assessors OF the state before the
State Equalization Board for the pur-
pose of giving them the information
necessary in its work regarding the
1909 state levy. Mr.. Graves says that
he expects the state levy for Polk
county to be reduced somewhat by the
decisions of the board.
F. H. Pepper and Clark Groves
went to Salem, Tuesday afternoon, to
present petition from the people of
Dallas to the State Legislature, ask
ing that under the local option law
the precinct be made the unit instead
of the county, thus giving cities the
power to regulate the sale Of liquor
within their own limits independent
of rural precincts which would be in
no way effected by the city govern
ment.
A Kansas paper contains the follow
ing concerning family reunion at
which Mrs. X. L. Coad, formerly Of
Buell., was present: "On January
20, 1909, all the brothers and sisters Of
J. A. Lotspeich met with him and his
family at their home near Randall,
Kansas, for reunion. Four brothers
and four sisters are still living, the
youngest of whom is 4s years of age
and the Oldest 67. An interesting
feature of this reunion was the pres
ence of one sister, Mrs. X. L. Coad,
from Oregon, who had not met with
the family for more than twenty-five
years"

Confer On Water Rates.

The committee appointed by the city
council held conference with Hon.
FL. V. Gates, proprietor Of the Dallas
waterworks, yesterday for the pur-
pose, principally, Of discussing a pro-
posal for lowering the water rates.
Mr. Gates offers as soon as the
council shall pass ordinances
doing away with unsanitary con-
ditions in the sewer districts, to place
meters on the sewer sevice, the
result of which will make a material
reduction in the cost of that service
to the water users. The proposition
of the purchasing of the water system
by the city, at a price to be set by a
board Of arbitration, was rejected by
Mr.. Gates. The time limit OH his
other offer to sell at a fiat figure of
$4,000 has expired and it appears
improbable that he will offer the city
another opportunity to buy.
