WILSON WOULD SAVE FALLS
Is Heartily in Favor of Pro-
visions of Burton Act.


Washington March l5.-That President
Wilson is heartily i'm favor Of the preser-
walton of Niagara Falls. as provided tor
In the Burton act is the conviction OF j..
Horace Mcfarland and Richard Il. Wat
rous. Of the American civic Association,
who discussed the subject with the Presi-
dent to-day
Mr.. Wilson indicated his belief that the
Burton act was entirely fair to the capt
tai actually engaged in power works at
the time when the American public forced
Congress To take possession and stop fur
ther assaults on the great cataract and
that he was opposed 10 any yielding to
the demands of those who. under various
pretexts. sought further privileges.
The sophistries of those who are en-
deavoring TO abstract more water from
Niagara by urging the admission of more
power from Canada will have no effect
opinion. and he fully realizes that IL
makes no difference in the final effect on
the cataract whether the water abstract
ed comes from one side OF the basin or
from the other.
President Wilson understands the con
dition now prevailing because of the fail
ure of the last Congress to continue the
protective regulations of Niagara. and he
is not likely TO interpose objections to the
Introduction of proper legislation at the
Forthcoming special session.
II Is believed that Mr. Wilson is. as
were his two immediate predecessors. a
stanch friend of the movement for pre-
serving the falls of Niagara in dignity
and impressiveness for the whole world.

dent.
The President has set a high standard
for the type OF man he wants for the
place. and although there are plenty OF
men who are looking for important diplo-
matte posts. they are not the kind Tor
whom Mr.. wilson Is looking.
The President has had the name OF

matte office for some time. and the 'ng-
gestion was made that he might turn

A BIG HOTEL.

Beeville is making proof of the fact
that the real way to get a big hotel. tour
ist or any other kind. is to raise the
money and build the hOte'. Beeville has
an organization known as THE Young
Mems Progressive League. This league
has organized a hotel movement and is
pushing it through. A dispatch from
that place to the San Antonio Express
says.
"Becyillc people are organizing a hot
q, of $4,000 capital stock. and
to issue $4,000 in first-class mortgage
bonds bearing 6 percent semi annual
interest. fer the erection of a first class
upto-date fireproof building. centrally
located, the hote' costing about $4,000.
Our citizens are entering their Subscrip-
lions for stock. and il is to be hoped in
a short while to completely dispose of
the stock issue and bond issue. Beevillc
is considered as one of the best open
ingS for such a hotel in Texas. The

urated the movement, and is pushing
it through to Il finish as rapidly as
possible"
