Waterways Improvements

Estimates for river and harbor improve
ments for the year 1911-19f2 contemplating
expenditures aggregating $50 1000 have
already been submitted to the chief of
engineers of the army, and the end is not
yet.
These estimates are prepared by army
engineers in charge of particular dis
tricts and are made up for the purpose of
giving the board of engineers in charge
of waterways improvements general
knowledge of each project and what is to
be done or is being done. When these
estimates have been received and the
board goes through them a revision is
made and the whole batch is sent on to
the House and Senate committee charged
with the consideration of waterways ap-
propriations. 1T is upon these estimates
that the rivers and harbors bills are
based.
Many of these estimates are out of all
proportion to the merits of the projects
involved and as a result they are "cut
to the bone by the engineer board. This
is done in order to keep down appropria-
tions and to attract attention to the
meritorous projects.
With s5O,000,0O0 already asked for in
the estimates and half that much more
to come 1t will be a difficult matter to
hold the next rivers and harbors bill down
as demanded by the President when he
consented to sign the last bill.

tional changes The liberals them
selves are divided on the matter of poll
Icy, the moderates contending that il
is essential that the budget be nandleo
first while the radicals insist that the
question Of the house of lords right to
veto is the paramount issue
1t is predicted in some quarters that
there will be another election this
summer. On the assumption that the
house of lords will reject any bills the
government seads it dealing with the
constitution of the house, and the gov
ernment will then be- forced to appeal
TO the co,,n:ry.
King Edward failed to cut the Cor
dian knot in his speech and by his in
decision precipitated a crisis between
the liberals on one side and the nation
alists and laborites on the other. These
three parties are supposed to have ar
rived at an agreement by which they
would form a coalition to support the
ministerial program and make possible
effective action. The laborites have
already made known their displeasure
and lively time IS expected during
the coming session.

The Northwest Corporation, through

The sections in question specify the

and the defendents motion that these
items be struck out of the complaint
is based on the ground that they are
out of order and a surp.usage to the
complaint. meaning thereby that
$4,000 damage claim is all that the
plaintiff has any right to ask for.

The Ministers

At the regular meeting of the Min
morning at the Y. NJ. c. A., Miss Anna

outline before them just how she In

ed, and with the support of the clergy

all results desired.
Another matter coming before the
meeting was the discussion OF the
feasibility of holding a union revival
service sometime this spring. Rev.
NJ Fl. Marvin. read letter from an
associate minister of his acquaintance
in Pullman, speaking very highly OF
Rev. Oscar Lowry of Anaconda, as an
evangelistic worker. It is the inten-
ton of the ministers to hold some
such a meeting as was planned for
Billy Sunday and committee Oh
five appointed to confer together as
TO who would be the most desirable
man.
Should the plans carry through a
large payilion or tent similar to the
one used on Popular street last year

forts made by the ministers union to
make the meeting an innovation IN re-
