BIG BOND ISSUE.
Capital City Takes Important Step
With Little Interest shown.

Columbia, March 11.-In an eiec-
tion in which very little interest was
shown the qualified electors of Colum-
bia voted an issue Of $4,000 of cou-
pon bonds for waterworks and sewe
RACES extension. or the 2S4 votes cast
Yesterday, PSI were in favor Of the
bond issue and 33 against it,
The territory recently annexed to
the city which is now without water
works and sewerage was especially in
terested in the bond election. In
Shandon, Waverley and South Waver-
lye. now embraced in Wards 6, z, and
6, total of GA votes were cast, OF
which all but four were in favor OF
the bond issue. In Ward 4, in which
North Columbia, an annaXetion, is in
cluded, the vote was 62 in favor of the
bonds and ten against them.
The proceeds from the sale of the
bond issue will be used for extending
the waterworks and sewerage systems
in the new portions of Columbia and
in the older parts of the city now with
out these conveniences.
City engineers estimate that about
20 miles of new water mains will be
laid and about 40 miles sewerage
lines put IN. A standpipe will be
built in the southeastern part OF Col
umhbia and improvements installed at
the pumping station.

RAILWAY MEASURE
FINALLY PASSED
Alaskan Project Ready for the
PreSiden
HE is LIKELY TO SIGN IT
wilson Has Indicated He Will Ac-
cept 1t as Sent to Him by
Congress.

Washington, March 10.-The Alas
ka railway bill, providing for the con-
struction of 1000 miles of govern
ment railroad and the expenditure of
$35, 100000, was ready for the presi-
dents signature late today, when the
senate adopted the conference report
already adopted by the house.
President Wilson has indicated his
intention OF signing the bill as soon
as 1t reaches the White House, and
tentative pians for constructing the
first government railroad already
have been considered at the interior
department. Secretary Lane is pre-
pared to go ahead with the project
as soon as the president gives the
word.
Final action in congress on the bill
came after a lengthy debate in the
senate, the report OF the conference
committee appointed to settle differ
ences between the two houses being
adopted, AZ to 27. The measure au-
thorizes the construction of not more
than 1000 miles OF railroad to con-
meet Alaska's coal fields with the
coast, the route to be selected by the
president, to whom also are left MANY
other important details. He is to de-
eide whether or not railroad line al
ready constructed in the territory
shall be purchased as a part OF the
government system, and whether the
road is to be operated by the govern
ment itself or leased after il is built.
The discussion today was prinCi-
pally on a suggestion by Senator
Cummins that the senate conferees
be instructed to reinsert the language
or the bill as passed by the senate
ana stricken out by the house, pro-
vidilg that the president. in construct
ing the railroad must IL existing rail-
road lines in Alaska are to be bought
and used as part OF the system. buv
or arrange for the purchase Of these
lines before construction Of extension
is begun.
Senator Cummins declared that
leaving discretionary with the pres
ident whether the government should
begin building lines into the interior
at the northern termini of existing
private railroads from the Alaskan
seaboard might so enhance the value
OF existing roads that syndiCates
could demand prohibitive price from
the government.
Senator Pittman replied that such
a thing obviously would be so out
rageous that no president would yield
: to any influence which could bring
out such a result. Hhe bill as per
fected, he said, directed the president
to construct a continuous line from
the seaboard to the interior and that
obviously ii first would be settled
whether the main line should be built
by the government or purchased ont
right or by condemnation from eN-
listing corporations before any eXtep-
sions were constructed in the Alaskan
interior.
There was also extended debate on
Senator Norris contention that the
language of the bill placed on the
president the obligation to make an
effort to lease the railroad after it is
built, before the government Itself m
dertakes to operate it. Other sen-
ators insisted, however. that the lam
gUage already made this optional.

MAYOR DENOUNCES
STRIFE BREEDERS
Warns Police Against "Insidious
Schemers."
A LETTER is SENT OUT.
Elbbes Charges Efforts to Demor-
alize Force Are Being Made
by Politicians

by Politicians.
The following is from The Column
bia State:
Wade Hampton Gibbes, mayor has
issued to the Columbia police depart
ment a letter in which he asserts
that "insidious efforts are being made
to disorganize the force" by design
ing political scheners" on the eve OF
a municipal election, and warns the
men against being Gin any way in
huenced by the clamor."
The mayors letter follows:
Just at this time, on the eve OF
an election, efforts are being made in
every direction by designing political
schemers to disorganize the police
force and to produce discomfort
amongst its members for political pur
poses.
$50 far as the officers and men OF
the force are concerned the situation
is simple and they should not be in
any way Influenced by the clamor and
the insidious approaches of such gen.
try as are attempting to stir up this
agitation.
"The rules OF the department and
the ordnance of the city are very
simple. No citizen, anless he be a
lawbreaker, has anything to fear from
any member Of the police force Any
citizen who may be a lawbreaker,
whether of high or low degree, should
be handled by you without fear and
without favor. In doing this you will
have my earnest and hearty COOP
Grafton and protection 10 the limit OF
my power.
Certain stirrers up Of strife come
to the city council with complaints
against any one Of you WHO lifts his
finger against certain classes OF the
people, no matter how much in fault
individual members OF such class may
be.
1T is an insult and scandal upon
working men for any one to clam
that they are more open to have trou-
BILE with the police department than
others. The honest. steady working
man never gives us trouble. AS you
know, our difficulties are only with
the idle, the vagrant and the vicious,
and working men of any standing
will resent any suggestion that the",
as a class, have more business with
the police courts than men of any
other class.
"YOu represent no class, but the
whole people of the city OF Column
bia, and, as I have a hundred times
requested, you are urged and in
structed TO treat all, exactly alike,
carrying out the law in a spirit Of
humanity. tolerance and mercy. As
you know, you must bear and for
bear.
- ask now. when insidious efforts
are being made to disorganize the
force. that you make special point
OF holding yourselves together to re-
sist such encroaches, which can only
result i'm injury to you and to the
people of your city"

Congressman Page Fights the Free
Seed Graft.
Washington March 11.-Represen

Washington. March 11.-Represen-
tative Page made his annual fight
yesterday against the Gree seed
graft when he offered an amend
ment striking out that part of the
agricultural appropriation bill which
provides for free distribution Of seed.
The amendment was defeated, as
was expected. 1t is about as hard to
defeat this graft" as 1t is to get Con-
gress to discontinue the practice of
voting themselves 20 cents a mile
each way for mileage they do no use.

or are suspected OF weight below that
