Annexation Resolution Rejected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ito offset
the Can adian annex alton talk which
the administra alton feared might affect
the reciprocity agreement, the house
committee on foreign affairs on vote
of 9 to l, reported adversely on the
resolutions introduced by Representa-.
tive Bennett of New York for the op-
ening of negotiations with Great
Britain looking to the annexation of
Canada.
One of the Bennetti resolutions ask.
ed the president TO report to the house
for its inform alton all the facts con.
cerning any negotiations now pending
with the Canadian or British govern.
ments, and also whether any negotia.
tions are now pendiogslooking to Can
adian annexation.
The other resolution, concurrent
one, requested the president ITO enter
upon and to prosecute from time to
time such negotiations with the Brit
ish government as may be deemed ex'
pedient for the annex alton of the Do
minion of Canada to the United
States.''

May Call Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-An extra
session of congress looms very large
and probable tonight. Unless Presi.
dent Taft and the friends OF the Cana.
dian reciprocity agreement are able to
bring more than ordinary pressure to
bear on the senate aud avert the ex.
penditure of time by the opponents of
the agreement-or its friends-it is
difficult to see how the senate can
reach a vote before adjournment.
Ahead of the Canadian agreement
for consider alton, in addition to ten
general appropriation bills, are mea-
sures affecting several important sub
jects. Not one of these can be side.
tracked without q contest. Back OF
each is a group of determined SEN
ators, insistent that q vote shall be
taken. Some of the measures must be
left unpassed or the Canadian agree
ment will die. The foregoing is the
opinion of republican leaders OF the
SENATE

Washington News Notes.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-An army
transport and an appro priation of
$50, 900 for it's expenses are to be made
Immediately available to carry relief
from Seattle to the famine sufferers
of China. The house agreed to con.
ference report on a bill making the

Declaring that fraud and corruption

Mexico constitution appeal was made
to President Taft today by represen.
tatives Of the anti-saloon league, the
w. T. G. T., and other interests to
use his influence against the adoption
of the constitution.

Filibuster Against Claims Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-What pro-
mises to go down in congressional his
tory as the famous flibuster against
the omnibus claims bill, begun at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, was still
being waged in the house at an early
hour this morning. All day and
through the evening the parliamentary
proceedings ranged from acrimonious
debate, with sharp colloquies, to what
amounted to comic opera.
There were incessant motions, fire.
quent roll calls, q search for absent
mem bers to produce quorum, fiery
speeches In which warning finger
was pointed to the next national elec'
ton, jibes, burlesque and queries to
the chair. Vocal solos, songs and
funny stories furnished entertainment
while the house waited for absent
members.
The bill, as it passed the senate
carried 81, 1852, GAL, including s642. 6Ss
for the French spoliation claims. But
the claims committee reported the bill
to the house without the French spoil
alton feature.

Discuss Reciprocity Agreement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-Failure of
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
to pass the senate will force President
Taft to call an extra session of con.
gress, II the administr alton is deter
mined to press the agreement. This
decl ar alton was made by Senator
Smoot following a conference with the
president. The senator entertained
the belief that in the senate the bill
would meet obstructive tactics that
would prevent vote before the close
of congress March fourth.
Representative Bennett of New
York, one of the republicans who
voted against Canadian reciprocity,
today introduced in the house q reso-
luton requesting the president to en-.
ter into negoti ations with the British
government looking to the annexation
of Can ad q to the United States. The
resolution was referred to the commit.
tee on foreign affairs.
In speaking of his resolution Mr..
Bennett insisted that he was serious
and sincere. He declared that to his
mind annexation was the logical re.
suit to be looked forward to following
reciprocity.

decided that an Issue OF the securities
to reimburse the treasury could be
made only after all the adv ances had
been given to the secretary OF the in
terror. Under the construction Of the
law it would be impossible to estimate
what the amount of the Issue might be.
The conclusion has been reached,
however, that the secretary of the
treasury may issue the certificates In
his discretion at any time, and place
the money in the reclamation fund.
This decision opens the way for an
issue at any time the treasury deems
propitious of certificates bearing 3 per

May Graduate Settlers Payments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-In view of
the passage by congress of the Curtis
bill authorizing the secretary OF the
interior to amend contracts with wa.
ter users' association, etc., it will not
be necessary to pass special bill for
the relief of homeste aders on the Low.
err Yellowstone project in Montana, as
petitioned for In joint memorial OF
the state legisl ature. This memorial
was recently presented to congress by
Senator Carter, who urged the pas
sage of bill providing. in effect, that
settlers on the Lower Yellowstone pro-
ject shall not be required to pay any
installment upon the cost OF construc.
ton of th at project before Dec. l, 1914,
and that upon that date the first an
nual installment shall be required, I,
and other payments to become due
annually thereafter on December l.
Under the Curtis bill the secretary
of the interior can graduate payments
to be made by settlers on government
projects, and can, in his discretion,
divide these payments in whatever
way may seem advis able. l. is doubt
full, however, if the secretary will
construe this law as giving him author.
ity to waive payments entirely for any
one year. The probabilities are that
on the Lower Yellowstone and on
other projects where application is
made he will fix a small charge for
the first few years, and gradually In
crease it until the final payment or
the tenth year completes the tota
charge assessed against any giver
tr act of land.

Eu1tOT hQSIl6Is
] have been asked BY many, IN
Guiding our representative, the
Honorable Judge EWart to give
my views on the question Of or
the proposition Of new road law
for this county. / am not able for
the lack of language to say what
| know on this subject. It has
been said that laws are not what
we need but sentiment. Tt is said
laws won't build roads! Neither
will sentiment. We have the SEN
timent, all We viii ever have.
What we need is work and that a
lot of it. The man as rule, who
does the work has no sentiment.
He just does what he does to justi-
fly the law. There are some ex-
ceptions.
What we need is a law that
meets the approval Of the MAORI
ty of good men. The law we
have now does not. 1t needs to be
divided by any figures from 4 to
10. We want a law that any
overseer can acquaint himself
with and not a complicated mass.
We need more machinery which
is the only hopes in free labor.
Give us a good road machine and
"a man with road sentiment to take
charge of section of road. Let
him have the right to collect the
work or the money out of those
eligible, he only needs three or
four hands at a time by the day to
do more work than is done by 20
hands as they are now worked.
The jury system is curse to road
building. The laying out of roads
should be done by a. competent
man, the general supervision such
as we have now. Let the road be
built then if the land owner is not
satisfied he may go to the county
board and do hope if the law we
have now is continued the legisla-
ture will make two changes which
are the worst features. The one
above and the $500 paid to over
seers that should be spent for ma
chinery and If we keep in the old
rut go back to the plan of giving
the overseer the time of one hand
to work his hands out, this giving
the overseer from slips to $50
has prejudiced the hands and
without doubt has caused less
work to be done.
