CLEAR DECKS FOR
ADJOURNMENT DAY
House and Senate Smoothing Out Obstacles Rapidly to
Wind Up acknowledgements Reached
on Many Bills

day. That IL will fail was admitted by
Democratic leaders.
The cotton bill, only slightly amend
ed by the Senate, was on the Speaker 3
table in the House today. 1t was be-
lieved that the House would not accept
the Senate changes, including the repeal
of all of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment except the wood pulp and print
paper section, and that the measure
would probably be hung up in confer
ence.
Disagreement In conference is expect
ed to hold the sugar tariff revision bill
over until next session, and as this
measure is linked with the excise. OF
income tax bill, the latter measure VIII
probably also be held up.
Will Be Smootbed Out.
The army appropriation bill. vetoed
In June because of the reorganization
plan and the rider ousting Gen. Leonard
Wood from his place as chief of staff,
has already been passed by both
Houses, and only remains to be
smoothed out in conference.
The Postoffice appropriation bill is
not expected by leaders to delay mat
ters. The general belief was that the
House would accept the Senate parcels
post plan. and the compromise on the
good roads cooperative scheme.
The Senate adopted the Bourne zone
parcels post in place of the House pro.
vision for a limited experimental system
and provided commission to investi.
gate the feasibility of cooperative work
by the Federal Government with the
States in good road building, as sub.
stitute for the House provision appro.
priating about $50, 900, 900 annually fol
such cooperative building.
A number of minor measures are ex
pected to be pushed through botf
Houses under suspension of the ruler
permitting their expedition. Leaders
are finding 1t increasingly difficult t
hold a quoroum here in Washington
and the sentiment at both ends Of tn,
Capitol favors a speedy windup.
The Washington times., 1912-08-15

Adjournment plans took definite shape
at the Capitol today, with the smoothing
out Of a number of obstacles heretofore
regarded as postponing a windup OF the
session.
In the opinion of Senate and House
leaders only two things prevent an ad-
journment by Saturday-President Tafts
veto of the legislative. or budget" ap-
preparation bill, on account of the abol-
lishment OF the Commerce Court and
the seven-year tenure for civil service
employees, and a possible fight over the
conferees' report on the Panama canal
bill. AS agreed to In conference, the
provision for free tolls for American
ships was stricken from the bill, and
this Is expected again to precipitate
controversy on the floor In both houses.
Released From Caucus.
Agreement on the naval appropriation
bill, long in dispute on account of the
battleship provisions, was made certain
by the action of the House Democratic
caucus in voting to release members
from no battleship pledges. Adoption
Of an amendment authorizing one super
dreadnaught and acceptance by the
Senate of this substitute for the two in
the Senate bill, was part Of the COM
promise by which the House Democrats
agreed to reverse themselves.
The pension appropriation bill, held
up because of the twenty-year fight over
abolition Of the pension agencies, is ex.
pected to go through at once. in view
Of the Senate's asquiescence in the
abolition Of the agencies.
A perfunctory attempt to pass the
wool and steel bills over the President
veto was scheduled for the Senate to.

Almost a Miracle

One Of the most startling changes
ever seen in any man, according to
w B Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex, was
effected years ago in his brother.
"He had such dreadful cough" lie
writes, that all our family thought
he was going into consumption, but
he began to use DIR Kings New Dis
covery, and was completely cured by
ten bottles. Now he is sound and
we'll, and weighs 2lS pounds. For
many years our family has used this
wonderful remedy for coughs and
colds with excellent results" It's
quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed.

Can II Be Arraseed.

10 the Editor Of The Herald, Neeker:
DHAR Doubtless many are OF
the opinion (now that Routt county
has been divided into two counties)
that the southern part Of the Will
liams Fork country will always re-
main - . part Of Rio Blanco county.
Perhaps It will, but to my mind .
trade should be made with our neigh
bors on the north on similar lines ~
were suggested few. years ago. Rio
Blanco could give Mofiat . number
Of tho townships In the eastern end
Of the county, say all that part east
Of the range line between 90 and 81,
and north Of the township line be-
tween and 3 north; MofRat In ex-
change, could give Rio Blsnco =
number Of townships In the SOUTH
western part Of their county. some
sort Of . commission could be ap-
pointed by the two boards Of county
commissioners, and they could get
together and agree on an equitable
division Of territory. At next falls
election the matter could be ratified
BY the voters.
Az some Of the territory In the
eastern part Of Rio .Blanco county Is
naturally . tributary to Routt comfy,
1t 10 more than likely that after Rio
Blanco and Moflat have made trade
that Moflat and Routt could then ex-
chance whereby. each would get what
IL directly tributary to Its respective
county. For instance. MOffat take
the Williams Fork country In ex-
change for the upper Oak and Ladd
creeks country. No doubt but what
the settlers Ia the eastern end Of Rio
Bianco county would prefer to be
with either Routt or Moffat, and Rio
Blanco could give 1t up for . small
slice OF Of southwestern Moffat
county. H. A. WILDHACK.
