PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL
RIVERS AND HARBORS COM
MITTEE SAYS BILL WILL IN
CLUDE ALL OBJECTS ON BOOKS

Washington, Jan. 27.-"I believe
the river and harbor bill to be re-
ported early in February will be the
most comprehensive, business-like
and satisfactory bill ever passed by
the rivers and harbors committee. In
the words of the president it will
be the Inauguration of the new sys-
tenn of inland waterways. . In
these words Representative Joseph E.
Ransdeli, of Louisiana, member of
the committee and president of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, set at rest rumors that have
been flying about to the effect that
the bill would fail to make generous
provisions for projects now on the
books of the engineer corps.
Early in the sessions of the COM
mittee, particularly since the COM
mittee has been in executive session.
it became apparent that the men,
bers were very generally in favor of
making the river and harbor bill an
annual one instead of biennial or tri-
ennial ones as has been the prac-
tice for a number of years past. The
members of the committee realized
that the old time method of sporadic
appropriations for special objects
should give way to a more intelligent
handling of the question of water
way improvements and the bill which
in all probability will be reported to
the house early next month will
mark the beginning of new order
of things relative to waterways.
The bill will carry a provision for
maintenance of rivers and harbors,
for only one year instead of two to
three years as formally, and it will
make a radical departure in fixing a
time for the completion of projects
which have the endorsement of the
engineer corps. By this method of
treatment the yearly character of the
bill it is hoped will be established
for it will appropriate only for the
current year and fix a limit for the
completion of distinctive projects.
To illustrate 1t is estimated by
the corps of engineers that it will
require about twenty millions to i'm
prove the upper Mississippi from st.
Louis to st. Paul. They believe that
be used annually on this river which
would complete the project in twelve
years Hence it is expected that the
bill will carry in the ncighborhood

ing the fiscal year ending June 30.
1911, and that each year thereafter
appropriations will be ma lie of sum
sufficient to finish in twelve years
BY this method well accepted pro-
jects will stand chance of compile
ton within a reasonable period.
whereas the bill of 1907 carried for
the upper Mississippi only 100000,
which sum, annually appropriated.
would bring this project to compile
ton in about 40 years.
1t is thought that the improvement
of the Mississippi from Cairo to the
gulf will be treated in similar man
ner That a time will be fixed for
it's completion, say 20 years, and that
an appropriation of sufficient amount,
probably four millions, as recon-
mended by the engineers, will be
made which will make the compile
ton OF the project possible within
the time limit.
An annual river and harbor bill
has been demanded by the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress since
it's organization in 1901. In season
and out it has fought for a yearly
budget dealing with waterway i'm
provements as the only sure method
of bringing about the completion of
projects within a reasonable time and
the adoption of the annual feature
by the committee in the bill shortly
to be reported is tribute to the cam
paign of education which the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
and kindred associations, has car
ried on so earnestly.
In voicing his satisfaction over the
adoption of this new policy, for which
he has stood ever since he entered
congress, Mr.. Ransdell said:
81 am, of course, very much elated
over the annual features of the bill
and it's formal declaration that i'm
portant projects should be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible
consistent with good business meth
DDS. The committee undoubtedly
feels and appreciates the work that
has been done in educating the peo-
pie to the necessity of inland water
way improvements. The committee
has always desired to place its bills
upon the high plane to which they
are now approaching, but up to this
time it has not had sufficient support
from public opinion to sustain it and
hence the committee has done the
best it could"

MONTREAL'S WIN
TER CARNIVAL

Montreal, Jan. 27.-Montreals
great winter carnival opened today
under conditions of a most favorable
character. For ten days there will
be a succession of brilliant events
well calculated to impress upon the
minds of visitors the indescribable
attractions of Canadian winter.
Skiing, hockey, curling, skating, to-
boganning and snowshoe races-none
of the favOrite winter pastimes of
the Canadian people will be lacking
In all of the contests the best out
door athletes of the Dominion are
entered. Speedy skaters of wide rep
utation will take part in the contests
on the st. Lawrence, and John Rudi,
the famous Norwegian ski acrobat,
will be seen in daily exhibitions.
The feature of today's program
was the formal opening of the Ice
Palace, the fairylike and glacial
erected on Fletcher's Field,
and which will be the center of fes-
tivities throughout the carnival. To-
morrow night will come the storming
of the Ice Palace, when the snow
shoe clubs will meet on Mount Royal,
tramp down the mountain amid a
blaze of fireworks, and make a con-
certed attack on the glittering white
palace The attack will be repulsed
from within with fireworks, the
whole scene winding up with grand
and pyrotechnic display.

BACKD0HN
ON TARIFF
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE SAY
1T is USELESS TO FORCE HAND
OF GERMANY ON BEEF-TO
PROBE COST OF LIVING.

washington, Jan. 27.-Alarmed
by the critical turn in the tariff con-
troversy between the United States
and Germany, appeals from chambers
of commerce and boards of trade of
sixty cities were made to the Nation
al Board of Trade, in session here,
urging that body to recommend that
the state department recede from it's
position that American beef and cat
tie must be admitted to Germany
Resolutions presented to the ma
tional body maintain there can be no
advantage in insisting on a German
market for American beef, because
the home consumption is increasing
at such rate that it will soon COM
mand all the supply.
1t is pointed out that the Ameri-
can party in control of the reichstag
has stood for the principle that the
farmers of Germany must supply it's
beef, and that the imperial govern
ment could not admit the American
product if it would. A commission
to settle the dispute is suggested.
Many delegates bringing from their
home cities demands for an investi-
cation into the high cost of living
have made that subject foremost.
The national body today decided to
appoint a special committee of five
men to determine the reasons for
present prices.
A movement was launched to
create national headquarters and
legislative bureau in Washington.
Fear for American Trade.
The tariff relations between the
United States and Germany have
reached almost an acute stage and it
occurs to me that the commerce of
our country is likely to suffer severe
ly if Germany's present attitude is
maintained, said President Frank J.
LaLanne of Philadelphia, in his ad
dress at the opening of the fortieth
annual convention of the National
Board of Trade here today.
1T is possible" he continued, "for
the National Board of Trade to get
into friendly touch with the leading
trades bodies of Germany and accom-
plish results which, perhaps, might
aid the state department and the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
And her important subject is i'm
migration. We need more laboreEs,, 1
more house servants. ! favor keep
ing out all who are physically or
morally unfit, but l don't believe,
in the educational test, for there are
many lines of industry in which |
book knowledge is not required"
Ship Subsidy Favored.
Twelve oftthe largest bodies come |
with resolutions calling unequivocal-I
ly for ship subsidy. Twelve others
call for forward march on river and
harbor improvements. Others stand
for conservation of forests, water
power sites and mineral lands. Pos
tai reform is strongly urged, some OPP
posing a parcels post, others in favor
of one with limited extent. Some
organizations call for reimbursement
of the rates of postage, and postal
savings banks are Endorsed with some
conditions. Resolutions favoring the
creation of a central bank will be Of
fered. and currency reform will be
urged.
There promises to be a fight on
the subject of currency legislation
One element opposes a central bank
with power to issue currency.

GREAT STRENGTH OF SNAILS

Some statistical person has said
that were a human being to be, rela.
lively, possessed Of the strength of a
snail he would be able to carry st.
Paul's Cathedral, figuratively speaking.
in his waistcoat pocket. This is as 1t
may be, but certainly snails do not
merit the contempt and derision that
is poured upon them. Their strength
Is incredible.
BY way of experiment, two common
garden snails were harnessed to a
leaden toy gun-carriage by means of a
piece of thin tape. The load was
moved so easily that the gun-carriage
was filled with shot 1t, however,
gave no trouble to the strange steeds.
and even when a heavy brass cannon
was hooked on, they moved with ease.
The total weight of gun-carriage, can
non, and shot was fifteen ounces.
Readers might try a similar expert
ment for themselves, though they
must be patient, for snails have an
unpleasant habit of withdrawing into
their shells when work is required of
them. Care should also be taken that
he traces attached to the snails do
OF impede their progress.

QUEER ADVENTURE WITH RAT

Frank BENEFITS spine when talking of
his recent experience with a rat. Ben
nett was doing some work near his
barn at Columbus, Ind when big rat
approached him, and as the farmer
reached for a club the rat ran up his
right trousers leg.
The rat was a climber, and did not
stop until it was perched midway be-
tween the mans shoulder blades. 1t
kept dropping back every few minutes,
but by constant scratching It held on
and endeavored to come out at the

DOGS STRANGE PREMONITI'

A dog that seems to have the pecu-
liar gift Of foreseeing the deadly
lightning bolt before it strikes, is
owned by Howard Griffith of Lower
Oxford, Pa, and the knowledge of the
dogs strange power is the only CON
ISOLATION which Griffith has for the
loss of eight COWS, which were struck
dead the other day. The dog, a col
lie, has been trained to watch over the
cows and bring them in at night. It
is his custom to remain with them
all day. During rainstorm nine Of
the COWS sought refuge under a tree
in the field the dog being with them,
when the family heard him give a
strange howl and start down the lane
as fast as he could run. A few sec
onds afterward a bolt of lightning
struck the tree, killing eight of the
nine COWS and knocking down the
other one. The dog crawled under
the barn and refused to come out for
some time. Every one is at a loss to
explain the strange premonition which
undoubtedly saved the animals life.

WHERE GEN. LEE ENDED WAR
Appomattox, Scene Of Historical Sur
render In 1865, Now Failing
Into Ruins.

{ Appomattox is a name that recalls
brave memories. There were two Ap'
/ pomattox towns In 1865 and there are
two in 1910, It was at Appomattox
station on the railroad between Peters
burg and Lynehburg that Sheridan rs
cavalry captured the supply train
which stood between Lees army and
starvation, and It was at Appomattox
court house, about three miles north,
that Lee surrendered. The Appomat'
tox court house of today occupies
nearly the site of Appomattox station
and the old town of AppomattoX court
house Is a ruined village with n few
collapsed houses and about the same
number OF inhabitants. The square In
which the old court house stood Is
covered with heaps Of broken brick
and ashes and is overgrown with
scraggy trees. The old court house,
with the county records, was burned
about fifteen years ago and the new
court house was built on the line OF
railroad.
The Mclean house, In which the
terms of surrender were agreed on
and signed, was torn down in 1892 for
removal to and reconstruction at the
Chicago worlds fair, but the idea was
carried no further than the demolition
Of the house.
The visitor to AppomattoX has diff
Guilty in learning the name Of the pres
ent owner Of the Mclean house, or the
surrender house." as It is called In
that neighborhood
The fields in which the army OF
northern Virginia and the army of the
Potomac faced each other are for the
most part grown up in thick, tall
pines. The North Carolina monument
the only imposing marker on the
grounds, stands in a clearing about
fifty feet square in a piece Of dense
pineland.
It was on April Z, 1865, when Grant
was at Farmville a few miles east Of
Appomattox, that the federal com
with General Lee leading up to the
surrender At five o'clock on the eve
ming Of April Z Grant wrote to Lee on
"the hopelessness of further resistance
on the part of the army of northerB
Virginia in this struggle"
The same evening Grant received q
letter from Lee, in which the latter
said: Though not entertaining the
opinion you express of the hopeless
ness Of further resistance, l reciprocate
your desire to avoid useless efusion
of blood, and therefore, before con
sidering your proposal, ask the terms
you will offer on condition of sur
render"
On the morning of April Grant
wrote to Lee: Peace being my great
desire, there is but one consideration
