ton of foreman of carriers, the reor-
ganization of the Duluth postoffice

rect supervision of all departments,
and all reports must come to him. The
force as 1t now stands follows:
x Postmaster, head of all departments,
William E. McEwen.
Division of finances. Martin Meldahl,
acting superintendent.
Under this department come the d.
visions for money orders, postal saw
ings. accounting, stamp, sub.postal sta

of the senate resumed activity today

should be pressed at the earliest

called today by Chairman Owen.
The committee will meet tomorrow
to take up particularly the bill known
i'm the senate as the Hollis bill. which
was framed by the joint banking and

ONLY COVERS TRANSPORTATION
Engineers Report Shows That Fen
ture Impracticablc.

Editor OF The World, Tulsa. okla.
Dear Slr-l notice in your issue Of
January q statement that in the
report of this office to the water and
sewer commissioner that the Grand
river project is condemned as being
impracticable
In order to set you right upon this
proposition ! beg to call your a.ten-
Uon TO the fact that this report was
asked for and covers only the trans
portauon OF water from the Grand
river To Tulsa by means Of a conduit
or brick or concrete.
Enough data can be secured from
the government maps TO show that
such scheme Of transportation Of
water would be wholly impractical.
As to tho usefulness and practica-
hility OF developing a water supply
at the Grand river and transporting
the same TO Tulsa with the proper
kind of a pipe line is an altogether
different proposition and might or
might not be found entirely practical
This IS a matter that would need
To be taken up and the data required
secured by making the necessary
surveys and laying out the entire sys-
TEN 20 as to be certain that all the
hydraulic conditions involved would
be fully understood
I do not desire TO be placed before
the community as condemninR this
project as water supply for Tulsa,
but only as cOndemning the scheme
" Transporting the water as suggest
ed by Mr.. G. O. Frye. since enough
data Is easily secured 10 show that
this plan would not be feasible.
Yours truly,

saying goes. If he will but live mp to
it, OF course there is a lot Of dema-
gogy in IT, That was to have been
expected from man elected by the

to expect the governor 70 absolutely
repudiate his old political associates
and his old affiliations with a sudden
wrench. Let us hope that time will
bring about this much desired result.
Governor Williams is surrounding
himself with advisers whose faces are
entirely new around the statchouso.
This encourages the wish that he will
continue to give Bm Durant and tho
other bcl-wethers the cold shoulder
1t is "A great opportunity and one
which as shrewd q politician as the
governor win not be slow to improve.

BURTON HOLDS UP
SHIP BILL AGAIN
Opposition to the Measure
Assumes Form of an
Actual Filibuster.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.--Repub-
lican opposition to the government
ship purchase bill took on all evil
dences Of an actual fillbuster today
with Senator Burton of Ohio leading
the attack. No progress was made on
the measure, except that another day
of Senator Burton's speech went into
the records.
Notwithstanding the determined op-
position of the minority and the ef-
forts of Democrats, still in progress
to perfect the measure, President VIII
son seemed today to be confident that
the bill would pass at this session. He
told callers he thought ii very prob
able" that the bill would be passed
before March 4 and he emphasized
the word very In answering u
query.
A third caucus of senate Democrats
on the bill which had been scheduled
for tonight was postponed until to-
morrow night and the commerce COM
mlttee decided to await further dis
cussion of the measure and to con-
slider all proposed amendments next
Thursday. Most important Of the
amendments suggested are those
which would add four experts to the
proposed shipping board and fix some
definite methods of Incorporating the
shipping corporations.
Senator Burton held the floor I'm
the senate throughout today's session
without once technically taking his
seat and was still speaking when the
body recessed until tomorrow. tte
had piled copies of the congressional
record In his chair. so as to rest
against them without actually sitting
down. What he called the fallacy Of
attempting to develop an impressive
trade with South America was the text
