TEN DAYS MORE FOR
WATER WAYS BILL

Washington, March S.-(Special.) -Senas
tor Elkns of West Virginia, who is the
ranking member on the commerce COM
mttee of the Senate, today said that the
committee would probably report the
rivers and harbors bill in the course Of
u days.
There have been presented TO the COM
meree committee of the Senate nearly 80
amendments, aggregating SO, 100000" said
Mr.. Elkins, covering the widest pos
sible range of river and harbor improve
ments.
4 have felt since my advent on the
the commerce committee that there
should be an annual river and harbor bill,
and that 1t should take its place in ma
tiona legislation just as any other supply
bill. The sporadic appropriations of the
past for waterway Improvements very
naturally gave rise to the pork barrel
attached to the river and harbor bill
Misnomer as 1t is, it still has a certain
following among the thoughtless, but
with the annual feature made permanent
as has now been agreed upon by both
committees of Congress. Dealing with
rivers and harbors | feel sure that both
press and public will look upon this bill
in the light of necessity to carry on the
ways an integral part of our great trans
portation system.
1.-The fact that of the 27,0O0 miles of in
land waterways of the United States
less than per cent have been improved
to q stage furnishing continuous naviga-
ton. Notwithstanding that the first APP
preparation for river improvement was
made IS years afo, is not attributable to
doubt of the great benefits that would
come to the entire country and all its in
terests, il the waterways were made nav
igable at all seasons of the year. The
fact is to be attributed to lack of means
to the desired end: to inadequate appro-
priatlons irregularly made, with the in
adequacy and the irreguarty due to the
lack of a comprehensive system on the
part of the general government with ref
erence to the work and because the gov
eminent of the United States stands alone
among all civilized nations, in the absence
of an annual budget wherein extraor-
binary expenses would be differentiated
from ordinary expenses"

CRABBE ABLE TO BE OUT
County Surveyor Recovering From
Injuries Received by Accident
On Farm.

Sam Crabbe, county surveyor, was
able to be out today. after having beeAs
confined to his home for several weeks
as result of the attack made upon
him by an enraged bull which makes
its home at the Crabbe farm. He Is
feeling much better, although he is
still sore from injuries received at the
time Of the accident.
Mr.. Crabbe told of the occurrences
today. He was leading the animal out
OF the barn, without the aid OF a pole.
Suddenly the bull turned on him and
knocked him against the side Of the
barn, butting him severely. The slip
ping OF the bulls feet, as he was about
to charge again. gave Mr.. Crabbe n
| few seconds time and he managed To-
pub himself through a nearby barn
door into safety before the Animal
could regain his feet and make suc~'
cessful charge again.
Mr.. Crabbe's ribs we're torn loose
and he was badly bruised. Yesterday
he was able to get out for short
time and today he has been receiving
| congratulations from his friends, for
! having so fortunately escaped the
anger Of the bull.
| The bun continues TO grace stall at
| the Crabbe farm barn. but the county
surveyor says he will be more pa leu
| lar in the future when it comes to
handling any of the so-called domestic
animals of the farm.
