LEADER OF MINORITY
TAKES HAND IN BATTLE
Contest Takes on Added Sig
nifcance and Indicates Posi-
bility of Speaker Cannon's
Downfall.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The
many-angled fight in the house on the
question of revising rules of that
body took a new turn and assumed
additional Importance today when
Champ Clark of Missouri leader of
the minority, introduced resolution
providing for the election by the
house of the new rules committee of
fifteen.
Special significance is attached to
the fact that Clark is a member of
the present rules committee. Pro-
vision is made in the resolution to
'revise. amend, simplify and codify
the present rules of the house" and
report to the house at the earliest
day practicable
The resolution contains nothing
about the removal of Cannon from
the committee, but the last section
provides that "the committee on rules
appointed by the speaker at the last
session of the Sixty-first congress
shall no longer exercise the power
and functions of rules committee
The resolution will go to the rules
committee where the Fowler resolu-
ton, introduced two days ago, Is
pending. The republican insurgents.
with one or two exceptions, WILL it
is expected, support the Clark resolu-
ton.

Becomes First Feeder of MIL
waukee System IN State.

Transfer of all the lands and prop
erty of the Priest Rapids Railway
company in Yakima and Benton
counties to the Chicago, Milwaukee
4 Puget Sound Railway company
makes the road along the Columbia
river the first feeder Of the Milwau-
kee system in this state. The deed
transferring the property was filed
with the county auditor Thursday.
This railroad has been building
from West Beverly south to the Han
ford district, and it is understood
will ultimately be extended to Ken
newick and to North Yakima. Some
right of way for these extensions has
been secured. Little work has been
accomplished. further than the
grading, but it is anticipated that
with the Milwaukee officials backing
up the line the plans will be carried
through Immediately.
Contractors for the Milwaukee
were the first to take up this line and
formed the corporation that secured
the right Of way and did the build
ing work last year. They then said
that the Milwaukee would eventually
take over the property.
According to the plans Of engi-
neers, the railroad is to run along
the Columbia river as far as Kenne-
wick, connecting with the Northern
Pacific and North Coast there, and
another line will be run from Saddle
Mountain, southwest to North Yak
ina, entering the valley through the
Mckee coulee.

verge of bankruptcy, according to a
semi-annual report prepared by
County Auditor Crocker, for the re-
port shows that the assets total
$515, 39069 more than the liabilities
Never before, according to the county
auditor, has the county been in better
shape financially, and at the same
time the report shows immense i'm
provements made during the past six
months.
The report has been made because
Of change in the fiscal year, which
formerly ended in June but will end
on December 81 Of each year in the
future. So as to straighten out affairs
the six months report from June i,
1909, to December 81, 1909, has just
been completed and will be published
in full.
In assets, the county shows: cash
on hand, $26,SS4.S7; takes. $374.-

ing, $11,398.14; miscellaneous, $685.
$3.50 making a total of $227,913.24.

Inmates conservative, the auditor has
rated the bridges at less than the cost
of each structure. The report shows
that the total taxes for 1909 were
1903 1852 and that there were tax
collections in the past six months of
s-57.279.34, including interest of

MCKEE BRIDGE
COMPLAINED OF
Main Span Is Said to Be in a Very
Shaky Condition and Mckee
People Fear 1t.
COUNTY ENGINEER WILL
MAKE INSPECTION TODAY
Work Has Been Resumed on the
Concrete Piers for the New
Bridge and Riprapping of
Water Front Is Well Advanced.

The main span of the Mckee bridge
is in bad condition If HI. B. Scudder,
who uses it daily, is properly in
formed. Mr.. Scudder has reported the
condition of the bridge to Secretary
Newcomb of the county commission
ers, and today 1t will be inspected by
report at once to the county commits
sioners. If necessary immediate steps
ut repair will be taken.
Mr. Scudder reported Monday that
the bridge is very shaky and that the
rafting when the main span is in use
is so bad that Mckee people VINO are
accustomed to the bridge have de-
clined to put 1t to the old tests but
crossing in such manner that not
more than one team at a time is on
the span.
County Engineer Mcintyre on Mon
day visited the new Mckee bridge on
which work has been resumed. The
concrete work is to be at once fin
ished and the other neeued work,
stopped by the high water and the
cold weather, will be pushed. The
work on the riprapping of the river
front along by the Stein & Thomson
property has been pushed and Is now
three-quarters of the way along to-
wards completion. Mr.. Mcintyre has
great hopes that the work Of one kind
and another which has been under.
taken to keep the river within its
channel along the east front or the
city will prove effective. II this 10 the
case it will render possible better
work in road construction on the
roads leading to the various bridges

portation company.
Two new street cars built by the
American Car company at the shops

additional equipment for the opera
street lines. According. to Superin-
tendent Kenley's plans, these two
lines will be operated together, with

of either line. Reports have been
circulated, but not confirmed, that
the company will have its sub-station
barns and car shops at the new To-
