TAFT WILL URGE
BUT FOUR BILLS
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FOR
THIS SESSION HAS BEEN
CUT DOWN.
MEASURES SEEM SAFE
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS, STATE
HOOD, CONSERVATION AND
ANTI.INJUcTIoN BILLS.

Washington. - The announcement
from the White House that President
Taft had by his own motion cut down
to four the number OF administration
measures he would demand at the
present session of Congress. Is re-
ceived by Republican leaders with un.
mixed feelings OF relief. The admin.
istration program was SO formidable
that members warmly supporting Taft
policies hardly knew where to begin.
A schedule including only the bills
to amend the interstate commerce
laws to regulate the issuance OF in
functions. to start Arizona and New
Mexico on the road to statehood. and
to validate the Withdrawals OF public
lands for conservation purposes. is re.
garded as quite possible for attain
ment. Most OF these measures, It is
believed. can be put through the Sen
ate while the House Is wrestling with
appropriation bills.
When 1t was reported at the capitol
Sunday that the President would be
satisfied with, the enactment Of the
four measures named, steps were
tAhSu " OIL NhCoC AhASNSio oul "a
committee at the earliest possible
date. The postal savings bank bill
already is before the Senate and an
agreement between the supporters OF
conflicting amendments is assured. 1t
is regarded as practically certain that
the bill can be passed during the com.
ing week.
The one conservation bill that Pres
ident Taft is determined shall be
passed is that which gives to the Pres.
ident unrestricted power to withdraw
public lands from settlement and place
them In reserves. In the meantime
an effort will be made by special
committee OF western senators to per.
feet other conservation measures so
that they will be ready for considera-
ton at the next session.

Greater Prince Rupert


Mail adyices to the Traffic Depart
ment of the Grand Trunk Pacific this
week, show that there is great activi-
ty both in new building operations
and in the advance in real estate in
Prince Rupert, which in another two
months will complete its first year OF
existence 1t Is nothing unusual for
a million feet of lumber to be deliver
ed at Prince Rupert in single week
and 1t melts away as fast as men and
teams can handle it. A number OF
lease holders are starting to build
wharves, and the New Concrete wharf
of the British Columbia Government
will also be under way at once. The
Grand Trunk Pacific is planning fur
Their large additions to its already ex-
tensive wharves. The British Column
bia legislature late in the season
which has just closed, gave Prince
Ruperta charter as town, with
special privileges and rights as to the
control of municipal water and light
ing privileges not enjoyed by other
cities In British Columbia. The pop
ulation of Prince Rupert believe that
the Inauguration of their own NUM-
cipal government instead of being ad-
ministered by commissioners, will
mean a further stimulus to the al
ready phenomenal, II not magical
growth of the town.

the afternoon there was an able and
interesting address by Prof. Hitch
ings, State Entomologist. Many ques-
lions we're asked and answered to the
satisfaction of all; he showed many
specimens of various kinds of insects
