Washington, Feb. 28.-Being an
out-and out Administration measure,
with the enthusiastic support of Presi-
dent Taft behind it and a majority Of
both branches of Congress in favor of
it, the postal savings bank bill is gen
orally expected to become law before
the close of the present session. In
dications are that all salient features
of the present bill will be retained and
that no material amendments will be
made.
The pending bill authorizes the
Post master General, as rapidly as
consistent with good administration,
to designate the money order post otfi
ces as places for the receipt of savings
deposits, and he is empowered so to
designate such other post offices as he
deems advisable. There are approx
mately 80, 900 money order post offices
in the United States, and the bill con-
templates that at the outset the Post
master General may restrict the de-
positories to the post offices of Presi
Dental grade, Of which there are
about 1900. Ultimately, as the system
is developed, all money order post Off
ces will become repositories.
The bill provides that accounts may
be opened by any person 10 years or
more of age. Married women may
have accounts free from interference by
their husbands. But no person is en-
titled to have more than one account,
and no account may have total cred
it exceeding $500, exclusive of accu-
mulated interest, and not more than
800 may be deposited in any one
month. The minimum deposit which
will be accepted is 81. Interest is to

Up-Riyer Survey.

The Great Northern railroad sur
veyors are engaged in a resurvey be-
tween Gerome and Mitre rock, u
miles below, raising the survey TO es-
cape certain difficulties attending the
former line.
When finished, the party will move
TO Peach. on the Columbia. and sur
vey on down the Columbia meeting
a party of surveyors at present en-
gagged in surveying a line from Brew
ster on up the river.
The line. when built, would con-
meet the Great Northern line at Mar
Gus with its trunk line at Wenatchee
thereby furnishing the upper Column
bia with a direct outlet to Sound
points
During the past summer the com
pany established roundhouses and re-
pair shops at Marcus to accommodate
just such work as the construction OF
a line along the Columbia would
mean. 1t is believed that actual con-
struction is contemplated at an early
date.-Bridgeport Republican.

PalOuse Hay Not Available.

The vast quantities of hay in the
Palouse is not available during the
present stringency as there are no
cars to move it with and none are
in sight before the coming of spring
Wheat hay is worth there from
$3.50 to $40 a ton, having gone up
about So lately. But it might as well
go up SIS for all the good ii can do
any one away from there There Ia
considerable cost in bringing hay
from the Palouse into Wenatchee,
oat hay that is worth there S16.50
costing $21.75 by the time it gets
here.
The local hay market is almost
stagnant, the buyers purchasing it in
the smallest possible amounts. Where
they formerly ordered ton or half
ton they are now content with get
ting one bale. The same is true in
ordering wheat, so cents worth does
where a sack was formerly ordered.
l.. r. Tice, when seen this morn
ing by a World reporter, stated that
the hay situation was holding very
quiet, and that there was no prospect
of relief for several months In
spite of the high prices Washington
hay appears to be cheaper than that
in some Of the neighboring states, as
the government saved 100000 by
purchasing Washington hay instead
of that from Nebraska. Nebraska
dealers were so indignant that they
sent delegates to the capital to see
what could be done. AS they could
not come down in their prices there
wasn't anything that they could do.

Another Row i'm Scientist Church,

Buffalo, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-A fictiOnal
fight for supremacy in the control OF
the affairs of the Christian Science
church in this city, similar in all re-
spects to the recent revolt headed by
Mrs. Augusta Stetson in New York
city, came to a head today in the an
Christian Science church The action
taken by Annie Victoria Cross Leavitt,
who for twenty-one years has been
the leader of the Buffalo Christian
Scientists, and who, it is alleged, has
maintained her ascendancy by reserv
ing to herself the appoint ment to the
managing committees, in the same
manner that Mrs. Stetson managed
to control the church in New York for
so many years The defeat of Mrs.
Leavitt, following the similar fate
meted out to Mrs. StetsOn, means an
other victory for the directors of the
mother church in Boston in their cam
paign for supremacy in the affairs of
the cult
The causes of the dissenslons in the
Buffalo church may be summarized
thus: The insurgents, SO called, led
by Charles Holcombe, member of an
old Buffalo family long prominent in
Christian Science, desired a radical
change in the bylaws of the First
church which should enable the con-
gregation to have the right of direct
nomination of the governing body. the
right of appeal to the entire body for
action of a committee, the disciple
nary function to be vested in the con-
gregation as a whole, each individual
TO have a voice in the management of
the church property, and. finally ar
bitrary rotation in office
The last clause hit directly at the
leadership of Mrs. Leavitt, who lost
no time in striking back at those who
opposed her rule. She promptly
caused the expulsion of Mr.. Holcombe
and those who were most prominent
among his following. The opposition
retaliated by appealing to the courts
for aid. Theresult was that they OBJ
tanned an injunction forbidding Mrs.
Leavitt from expelling any more
position were enabled to control the
meeting called to act on the bylaws,
which action means the dethrOne.

Twisp, Wash, Jan. 1S-The Crane
Hummer company, which proposes to

river opposite this place The intake
will be in solid rock and men are
now shooting out the channel for the

siderable work on their intake at
