the big audience.

g. c. Finly making he principal
speech. Meyer Rosenshine paid
high tribute to the faithful and ca

in nomination for city clerk by Cap.

whoop the same as will his re-elec-

but never in one he liked SO we'll
as Clarksburg. The three years he
has been here he had found it Sec

gized the faithful, hard work of the
street superintendent and presented
the name of Peggy" Doyle, or more
properly speaking, Edward ]. Doyle.
Doyle got every vote in the conven-
ton with shout and he was re-
CURED to appear before the conven-

to attacks made in the Democratic
city convention, Mr.. Doyle threw
some very effective bombs at his ira
ducers, and it will be many moon

For Delegates to the Second
Meeting of the Big
Drainage Congress.

NEW ORLEANS. Mar. 16.-Dele-
gates to the second National Drainage
Congress, to be held in this city April
1913 when many questions of vital
Importance in connection with the
reclamation of the 75,OOO,OOO acres of
the waste and wet lands throughout
the United States will be given earn
est consideration, will have an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of one rate
fare plus twenty-five cents. Announce
ment to this effect has just been made
by Joseph Richardson, chairman of
the South Eastern Passenger AS
sociation.
The special tariff for the second
National Drainage Congress, provides
that tickets be sold April Z, s, and
for trains scheduled to arrive in New
Orleans on or before noon of April
10 The tariff fixes April % as the
original return limit which may be
extended to May 6. upon payment of
s1.0O to the joint agent, provided the
deposit is made on or before April %.
These rates are one fare for the
round trip from ohio and Potomac
river points. and three cents per mile
one way distance plus twenty-five
cents from the nearer by points.
The tariff of the South Eastern
Passenger Association is the same as
that granted by the association for
the carnival visitors to New Orleans
and there appears to be very good
reason that the delegates appointed
by the governors of the various states,
mayors OF cities and towns of more
than thousand population, county
officials, etc, will take advantage OF
the low rate, and visit section OF
the United States where some of the
most effective reclamation, by drain
age, has been accomplished and other
parts of which are under the process
OF reclamation.
There should be large attendance
at the second National Drainage Con-
gress in April, the object of which
will be to work out a. national policy
for river regulation and control, for
protection from overflow, for flood
prevention, and for land reclamation
by the irrigation of arid lands and the
drainage of swamp and overflow
lands, that will harhonize and unite
every section Of the United States In
great campaign for its adoption BY
the national government. e.
1t is in this work of bringing order
out Of chaos, eliminating controversy,
and perfecting broad working plan
which will unite terrltorially, the en-
tire Mississippi valley from Canada
to the Gulf of Mexico, with the Ohio
river valley on the east, and the Miss
ouri river valley on the west-a vast
region embracing more than one-third
of the entire area of the United
States, that the National Drainage
Congress SO much needs the co-opera-
ton, by attendance as delegate at
its meeting in New Orleans April 10
10. of every one who would be bene-
fitted by the development of the Miss
issippi valley and every state IN the
Union that has land subject to recla-
nation, either by drainage or by ir.
rigation.

EXCELLENT RATE OF PRODUCTION
IS BEING KEPT UP CONSTANTLY
BY LEASERS BELOW MANHATTAN
Special to the Bonanza


MANHATTAN, August 30. = The
same excellent rate of production is
being kept up constantly by the Man
haitian placers. From the head of
the gulch to the farthestdown to-
ward Smoky valley where pay has
been opened there are very few ex-
ceptions indeed to the rule that pla-
Ger operators are making better than
wages for themselves with a neat
profit for each man employed. 1t
is the one kind of mining in Manhat-
tan where there is almost no risk,
and while the rewards are not as
great as in the case OF some quartz
operations the placer men almost in
variably get all their money back
with pay for their time and more.
1t is about the same story in any
part of the gulch where placers have
been made to pay. and where the
best of it was supposed to have been
worked out. men are still taking
out good money and il not as good
as before at least as much per yard

convert it into a tabernacle in

splendid move; one that ought to
meet with approval of every

A committee from the first

under advisement this week and
