VOTED FOR
CANAL CELEBRATION
Senate Has a Warm Debate on
the Question Of Ex-
penditure.

WAsHrNGToN. Feb. le.-ThNrc was a
sharp debate In the Senate to-day over
the proposed appropriation OF $4,000
for expenses OF the celebration incident
TO the formal opening OF the Panama
Canal.
Senators Fall and Kenyon were eager
for information as to how the money
was to be expended. Incidentally the
fact came out that The $3.50. 600 origi-
ntlly proposed in resolutions introduced
simultaneously in both houses OF ON
gress had been agreed on after a White
House conference at which the Pres'-
dent. Secretary OF War and Appropr!a-
lions Committee were sent.
Later the members Of the Approprit-
,ions Committee decided that an APP
Precipitation made to meet the expense
Of the celebration might lead TO a
scandal and $4,000 was cut of by the
committee.
Questioned as to who would go on the
trip and what the mono was TO be
spent for Chairman Martin OF the APP
propriaiions Committee replied that the
President would invite whomsoever he
saw III and could spend the money In
his discretion. Senator FAN seemed de-
,ermined to elicit the detailed objects
for which the money is 10 be spent.
Senator Martin said he would not tell.
He had accepted the assurance OF the
Secretary OF Wal mat the sum was
needed and did not care TO split hairs
over II. The Senator said the Pi resident
could hc relied on TO spend the money
FOR What was necessary 20 make a
proper showing. He believed that d!plo-
mats would be invited by the President.
The money may be expended 10 buy
grapcjuice for them suggested Mr..
Dvormaa.
Mr.. Martin said he had understood
that eN-fresidents Taft and Roosevelt
would also be invited 10 go TO Panama
on the celebration.
T go upon the same boat" IN
ou!red Senator Reed. What about
neutrality"
Finally Senator Kenyon moved a pro-
viso that no part OF the 100000 APP
preparation be used to pay expenses OF
any member of Congress on the trip.
Mr.. Martin moved to table 1t and that
motion was carried.
The appropriation was then adopted,

TRIP DOWN WHITE RIVER.

Dr. C. c. Dodson, J. H. Myers, Jno. P. Stafford and D. L. Lewis, the latter residing over on Hickory Creek, near White River, arIised home Friday afternoon from a ten days float down White River. They put in at Martins Bluff, just below the Ellis Ford, on Wednesday, Sep tember 15, arriving at Beaver Thurs day afternoon September 23, at which point they took the train for home. The trip WAS made in an eighteen foot boat, which in addition to the four passengers, carried the tent, camp equippage, baggage, etc, and the fact that the journey was made without an accident of any charac- ter. was due to the skill of Mir. Lewis. who handled the boat on the journey. The party camped the first night at the crossing of the Monte Ne railroad, and thereafter the tent was spread each night at such points as appealed to them. No traveling was done on Sunday, the party spend ing the day in camp near the home of MT. Hagood, twelve miles east of Rogers. An abundance of fish were caught, more than the party could consume, and when it Was not pos sible to find some one along the riv- CT to give them to they were releas- ed. The gentlemen all say it was ona of the most peasant experiences Of their lives. They received many eoutesies at the hands of people lfv- ing along the river, and learned many things heretofore unknown to them concerning the meanderings of the famous White River. It is estimat- ed that the party Heated a distance of about 100 miles.
