The fact that the mail routes 60
ing out from Monterey have been
re-advertised, is taken as evidence
that the Government regards the
bids as excessive. We understand
that both Messrs. Cross and Hlner
we're bidders for the routes OF which
they now have charge, and patrons
generally would be glad to hear OF
them getting the contacts for the
coming four years. Both have
given good service. We are In
formed that, while Mr.. Cross bid
was in excess of former years, he
had in mind the purpose and lm~
portance- of restocking and re-
equipping the route. The E, cutting
out Of liquor-hauling, while gener-
allv approved, doubtless has some
bearing, too, on the question OF fu-
ture service,

When the winds blow over this tree

away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. 1t is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches. the natives say. but the SCI
entific white man says that the sounds
are due to myriad of small holes
which an insect bores In the spines
of the branches The weeping tree of
the Canary islands is another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth
er will rain down showers from its
leaves. and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
of the trunk and find 1t pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base of the
leaves.

washington, Dec. 6.--At noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph c. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-first
congress of the United States for its
first regular session. Really the first
session OF this congress was the extra
ordinary one OF last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the cap
itol because at the beginning of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker of the House was elected
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
. appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid-
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the mem
bers for choice chairmanships and, If
the chairmanships were not forthcom-
ing, for seats in the more important
subsidiary bodies of the House.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so II
is that, so far as committee work is con-
cerned. the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legisla-
ton. 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 feel

House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed 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 its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
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-
ary and army and navy circles were
well represented.

body directed to notify Mr. Taft that
the House was In session were by the
appointment OF the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene e. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day In the House as usual

measures in bill form. all of which

those intended to correct alleged ex-

those to give increases of pensions to
