POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM WASH
lNGTON.

Washington, Aug. 14-(Special cor
respondence) If reports about the
capitol are true nothing has worried
or annoyed the president more since
he took the oath of office than the
clearcut statement of Senator CALM
ger, Republican floor leader of the
senate, of the attitude of the Repub-
hcans of that body on proposed legis-
lation of great interest to the country,
The attempt to make the public be-
ieve that the child labor bill, the i'm
migration bill, the workmen's COM
pensation act and other legislation of
public interest were being held UP
by Republican filibuster in the SEN
ate, was so completely upset by the
that it took the wind out of the Dem
ocrats and even the president himself.
The latter was so upset that he i'm
medlately rushed to the capitol for
conference with leaders of his par
ty. 1t is well known about the cap
ltol that the president has tried to
postpone consideration of the immi-
grafton bill, while the child labor bill
is being bitterly opposed by a number
of prominent Democratic senators
from the southern states. Senator
Gallinger in behalf of the minority.
has put the issue fairly up to the ad-
mlnlstration and the country, and
Democracy is badly upset and very
much worried

From st. Louis comes the disheart-
ening intelligence that the Democra-
tic national committee owes the mer-
chants and mechanics of that town
some $4,000 for decorations and sup
plies furnished at the convention hall
The regulations which followed the
Baltimore convention were not of the
same kind, but it is evident that the
bad example of four years ago is still
prevalent among Democrats.

 The high water was the cause of the closing of the natatorium. II seems that the seepage water has the effect of springing the boards form ing the floor, so that there is a leak At any rate, the management of the swimming tank has been compelled to close for repairs twice already since the ice went out.
 When the water Is in the tank everything seems to be all right For it is only when the water is pumped out of the tank and it's weight taken off the floor, that the floor gives way under the pressure of the water from underneath,

TOWNSHIP AT NENANA ID BE
 SURVEYED SOON
LAND OFFICE SURVEYOR NOV ENROUTE TO SURVEY
 NEW TOWNSHIP

information received here during the past week is to the effect that 1 J. Frank Warner United States sur> eyor. has been detached from regular land office work to mako
 the survey of the townsite at Ne
 mana He is now enroute north. being expected to come in on one
 of the first boats, although the exact
 time of his arrival here cannot be stated at this time. MT. Warner is the engineer who surveyed the townsites both at Anchorage and Seward
 Just when the lots at the new town will be placed on sale is not
 known. It is stated, however, that
 the government will probably adopt
 the same tactics here as it did at Anchorage in relation to the sale
 of lots, that is, wait for time af
 ter the survey is made before ad-
 vertising the sale. In the case of Seward eight months time elapsed before the sale after the survey was completed the sale being in progress at the coast city at the present time. It is therefore practical certainly that no lots at the new town of Nenana will be dis
 posed of before next fall at the earliest, and probably not before next spring.
 The government is also planning to continue the public land sub.di Nisional work at Nenana, according to word received at the local land i office, a crew of engineers and their helpers being now on their way north The work will probably not start until after July l. It is a continuance of the coal land survey started last summer. Considerable work of the same kind is to be done
 on the coast between knik and Su- sitna during ;he coming summer.
