When ]. w. Gamble and Robert H.
Manley step into the. convention OF the
National Rivers and Harbors' Congress
at Washington this week they will open
relations for Omaha with that body for
the first time in several years. The two
men went 10 Washington Monday night
as delegates from the Omaha Commercial
club. which was member Of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress some
years ago. but dropped that membership
because for a time II seemed as though
Omaha had nothing in common with that
body.

prospects OF navigating the Missouri
river from Omaha TO Kansas City the
club has decided to re-establish it's mem
bershlp in the Rivers and Harbors' Con-

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.--(special Tele-

congress began YESTERDAY under conditions
suggesting somewhat thesTkft inaugura-
ton OF 1908. A cold. 6f1r<IlnK rain fell
throughout tho day. accentuated by n
biting northwest wind, which may have
been one reason for the falling off OF the
usual number OF spectators in the CALLER

ginning OF every new session OF congress.
There was a notineably smaller number
OF persons in the house galleries than us
ual when the gong sounds the birth OF a
new session, due I'm large measure to the
absence OF many women Of congressional
households who will remain at their
homes throughout the country until after
the Christmas holidays.
There were joys and glooms for many
Legislators In both branches but the de-
feated took the "joshing' good-naturedly,
while the victors bore their laurels with
becoming modesty.

frank enough TO say that a great many
OF his friends confidently believed in his
election and he was impressed that way
himself.
AS for Representative Mcguire, he was
not sure of his election at any time, the
Lincoln postoffice fight having played a
considerable part in the general dlssatis-
faction. On the whole he believed he had
made better showing than could have
been generally expected in view OF all the
