Thanks llven to Congress
Governors Vesey Of South Dakota
and Norris of Montana thanked the
congress for it's activities. Gen. Pet
Vilkon, formerly of Kruger's army in
the TransVaal, represented Governor
Curry of New Mexico.
All remaininr~ traces of the Ballinger-
Pinchot hostilities disappeared on the
last day of the congress with perhaps
a mention now and then by some kind
ly disposed speaker. Unless a discus
sion should arise tomorrow, which is
practically impossible, the congress
will be considered adjourned.
The deep waterways for the inland
empire was the subject of the address
or Prof. w. d. Lyman, who spoke in
the morning. He said in part:
Among the various river systems OF
the United States which are worthy of
public improvements and utilization
that of the Columbia river and its af-
f1uents stands pre-eminent
"The watershed of the Columbia en-
braces about 250,000 square miles in
Oregon, washington, Idaho, Montana,
wyoming, Nevada and British Column
bia. The total length is about 14OO
miles.
LAS to its CapaDillty TO create Hie-
chanical power 1t has been roughly es-
timated that the available horsepower
of the United States is S7,00O,0O0. of
which more than one-fourth is on the
Columbia and its tributaries"
Talks of Distinctions
Mr.. Lyman took up the subject of
distractions to navigation. referring to
the eight and one-half miles of rapids
above Dallas City as the "key to COM
mercial liberation of an inland en-
pire."
Various plans for the Improvement
of the channel, he said had finally been
reduced to the project of a single ca
nal for the entire distance, to cost $4,-
0OO,0OO Almost two and one-half miles
of this has been completed, and en-
gineers estimate that the canal might
be in operation in three years or less.
This project, known as the Celile canal
the speaker characterized as the STRAIT
egic point on the river. He asserted
that at moderate cost, with locks at
two points in British Columbia and
four in the United states, the Column
bia might be navigated over its whole
course of 1400 miles.
OF the 55000,0 900 bushels of wheat har-
vested in the inland empire this sea-
son 1t is likely that 80, 100000 Will be
shipped to tide water. With an aver
age reduction of cents on 35,OOO,O0O
bushels, due to water competition,
saving on wheat alone of 81, 100000 a
wear could be made, the speaker said.

CHICAGO, Jan. Foreign news usurped the

the first week of any year. During the day a
few reports drifted into the pit regarding prob
