citation believed it would be the means
of bringing together in friendly inter-
course for an evening a large number of
retail merchants of the District. I trust
you will enjoy the evening sufficiently
to warrant the asSOCia ton in making the
'get-tOgether dinner an annual affair.
II am free to say that after a years
experience as president of the aSSOCia-
tiOn, and having been intimately connect
ed with all its plans and work, I have
found the association has proved an Un-
qualified advantage TO its members. Its
opportunities, however, depend largely
upon more complete cooperation than
the association is enjoying at the present
time. A much larger membership is
necessary"
The POSTMASTER in introducing himself
congratulated the retail merchants who

persisted in interrupting proceedings,
broke in at this point with call for

ing the message, informed Mr.. Andrews
that the watchman at his establishment
was unable to carry out instructions for
the evening. "He says, Mr. Andrews"
repeated the POSTMASTER, that he can't
do what you told him TO do tonight. He
says he has the shavings and the kero-

The plan of the Commissioners for the
creation of a new excise board, consist
ing of the judges of the Police Court and
the judge of the Juvenile Court, is meet
! ing with opposition from persons well
acquainted with excise matters in the
| District. 1t is contended by the objectors
that the new plan would give rise to
scores of complications.
The Commissioners are already consid-
ering the objections. Although strongly
in favor of the plan in general. District
! Assessor Richards. who has just COM
/ pleted the preparation of bill providing
! for the creation Of the new board, has
/ suggested to the Commissioners the pos
sible complication arising through the
appointment of judges as members of the
! body. 1t was learned at the District
| Building yesterday that there has been
much comment by representatives of liq-
uor and ant-liQuor interests on this
point.
A Hypothetical Case.
The following hypothetical case has
been suggested as one of the possible
complications: II one OF the judges con-
viCted a saloonkeeper OF an offense he
would be likely to refuse that person a
! renewal of license the next time applca-
tion was filed. regardless of other fac
tors in the case. such as the conduct
of the establishment. Conversely. II a
judge granted a saloonkeeper a license
and later that man was brought before
the tribunal for some offensc, the Judge
would feel compelled to free the man in
order to vindiCate himself.
No provision has been made in the ex-
else board bill for limitation of the num-
ber of saloons. Mr.. Richards said yes
terday that he did not feel justified in
including such provision. and that he
did not think the Commissioners would
urge its insertion. He said that in his
opinion the limitation of local saloons
IS a question for Congress to decide. as
there IS no means at present Of dis
covering the consensus of opinion with
respect to the matter. Mr.. Richards
said that II the people Of the District
We're blessed with suffrage there would
then be a means OF feeling the pulse OF
the people.
At the last session Of Congress. Sena-
tor Works. of California. introduced a
bill providing for the reduction of the
number OF saloons in the District to 2Oo
This bill probably will he urged at the
coming session.

Des Moines.-Opposition to the

Teachers College, Cedar Falls, in an
address this afternoon before the
Iowa Congress of Mothers and Par
ent Teachers association.
1T is to be recognized that even
well intentioned teaching may be SEN

fessor Seerley. 1T is to be hoped that
in such endeavOrs the safe and the
sane may prevail. The saving Of the
masses by wholesale lecturing and
popular instruction cannot be accom-
Ilished.
The introduction Of such courses

WEST UMAT|LLA MAY.
YET GET MORE FUNDS.
SENATOR BORAH To AID
OREGON DELEGATION
VIII Introduce Bill During Coming
Session of Congress Carrying Addi-
tional Appropr alton of Fifteen Mill
lion Dollars for Reclamation Work.

Washington. Nov 15.-Senator Bo-
rah of Idaho has said that when con-
gress convened he would introduce a
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to advance to the secretary
of the interior an additional $4,000
600. to be used. with the 20.000,0 900
already available. in Fastening the
completion of government irrigation
projects
The bill also will enable the govern
ment to square accounts with states
that have been unjustly dealt with in
past apportionments. Senator Borah
explained that one object was to pro-
vide sufficient funds so that oregon
m ght receive its JUS share and have
sufficient money to build the Vest
Umatilla project, and also there were
several other worthy projects in 9TH
er states that should be cared for.
If this advance is authorized, the
secretary of the interior and the pres
! ident will be able not only to allot
to each state a full portion of the
money to which it is entitler, but to
more completely organize the field
force of the reclamation service in
order to carry through all existing
| projects to early completion.
Senator Borah said his bill would
make available s15,000,00O on same
terms embodied in the $4,000. .OOO
law and that no funds so available
would begin to bear interest until
| drawn from the treasury; then inter
est will run at per cent This $15.-
mn nOO Iil,o tho con 000 0OO will nit
mately be returned to the treasury
from the reclamation fund.
In view of Secretary Fishers con-
tention that allotment based on the
recommendation of the army engi-
neers' board cannot we'll be readjust-
ed at this time, Oregon's only hope OF
securing immediate construction of the
West Umatilla project would seem tc
lie in the passage of the Borah bill
on a similar measure.
