Long and Short
Haul Clause is
Public's Guard
Provision in Railroad Bill of Benefit
to River Towns. Says Mr..
Ransdell.

RICHMOND. Va, April s.-Representa-
tive Ransdell Of Louisiana, president Of the
National Rivers and Harbors congress, was
guest OF honor Of the Chamber of Com
merce of the city OF Richmond tonight,
and the principal speaker Of the evening.
His subject was The Systematic Improve
ment. of the Rivers aud Harbors Of the
country" y
Mr.. Ransdell paid special attention to
terminals and the Importance OF public
ownership thereof. He also discussed the
long and short haul" clause in the raii-
road bill now pending before congress,
which prohibits railways from charging
more for a shorter than for q longer
distance over the same route in the Same
direction.
He said IL such a clause were adopted
IL would prohibit the unfair practices Of
railroads at river points, which charge
such low rates there as to drive the boats
out Of business. and recoup their own losses
by much higher rates at interior points
away from the water course.
Mr.. Ransdell is firmly convinced that
unless the national government is willing
to protect the rivers by some such
provision as this or adopt a method
similar to that Of the Germans, which
requires railroads competing with water
lines to charge 100 per cent Of the water
rate that 1t is unwise to continue to ex-
pend large sums in the Improvement Of
the rivers.

May Build Church
IN Salt Lake City

templating Carrying Work
Into the West.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo, April ~9.-(Special
Telegram.) - Following the usual early
morning prayer service at the Latter Day
Saints conference being held at this place
Elder Henry Sparkling of Missouri preached.
At 2 O'Clock business was resumed with
Joseph Smith in the chair, followed by his
second counsellor, Elder T. A. Smith. The
petition presented yesterday requesting
that a church building be built in Salt Lake
City was referred TO a committee composed
Of the first presidency, quorum of twelve
and Bishop Rye with power to act. Vari-
Gus reports were read, including those from
the twelve and the church historian and
the missionaries in charge. They report a
gradually increasing interest in the work
of the church, an activity in debate and
great diligence and application on the part
of the missionaries. The number of the
new openings greatly increased and there
are more invitations to preach than can be
responded to. Popular feeling has in
creased in warmth oward the recognized
church and fewer articles and books are
being published against it, as it is becom-
ing better known and understood.
Two kilograms of congratulations to
President Joseph smith upon his Jubilee
anniversary were read, one coming from
the Saints in West Philadelphia and the
other from those in San Bernardino, Cal.
Rev. R.. A. Broyles, a negro, was allowed
a few minutes to present his work in the
Enterprise institute, a trades school of
Chicago, established for the uplift Of the
negro. This evening a program was rem
dered by the mothers society Of the

Non-partisan Candidate for
Circuit Judge, to Reside in Coos
County.
To the Voters of Douglas,
Benton and Lincoln
Counties:

At an earlier period in the present
campaign, many citizens of Coos
County expressed a desire that l
should become a candidate for the
office of Circuit Judge. l deferred
conclusion of the matter until a week
ago, when l expressed a willingness
to offer myself as a non-partisan
candidate; dependent, however, up
on an endorsement of such strength
and character as would afford assur-
ance to the voters of the other coun-
ties comprising this judicial District,
to whom Imay be little known, that
there is substantial local desire for
my election. Within four days from
the day Of my declaration over seven
hundred electors of all political
faiths had signed my certificate Of
nomination.
With this endorsement, / submit
my candidacy to the voters of Doug
las, Lane, Benton and Lincoln coun-
ties.
Assuming, as I think I may do
that the interest Of these voters in
the selection of a Judge to reside in
Coos County is largely incidental,
and that, in the absence of personal
knowledge Of candidates, only polit-
ical affiliations would serve a majority
of them as a guide to their choice
for such Official, I am hopeful that
they may be pleased to give favorable
consideration to the non-partisn
choice Of myself by the people Of
this, the most concerned section OF
the district.
