 COMPROMISE PLAv!
Future Solidarity of R lican Party Decalre Volved By Ultiy &.n
 Delivered to L< &e
By A.s.sia,ss prsss

Washington. January 2s.--Protest by a large group of influential republican senators against further compromises day gave the compromise negotiations a severe setback and. senators de- clared. involve future solidarity of the republican party not only in the Sem ate but in the nation.
 Eight republican senators, headed
 by Senators Johnson of California
 and Borah of Idaho. and claiming
 to represent other senators. called
 Republican Leader Lodge into con
 ference and delivered what was de-
 clared to he mn uitimatum against
 proposed compromises of the i'm
 formal bipartisan committee of
 Senate leaders.
 Some of the senators in the confer ence with Senator Lodge declared that the reception of the protests would af- feet the republican leadership and unity in the Senate. while one, Sem ator sherman of Illinois. stated after the conference that he would leave the republican party and join a third party if the republicans support "emas- seulated" reservations
 The conference with Senator Lodge, which lasted nearly three hours, pre- vented the scheduled session of the bi- partisan committee. This committee will meet again tomorrow but with the compromise prospects thrown into con- fusion by today's developments. Demo crats interested in the compromise ne- gotiations tonight expressed concern over the turn of events.

TAFT URGES COMPROMISE

The movement Of protest against compromising the Lodge reservations was almost coincident with a visit to the Senate by former President Taft who consulted with several mild reservation''' republicans.. including Senators McCumber. North Dakota ] icNAryasof Oregon. x ellogg of Minne- sota and Colt of Rhode Island. MT Taft urged compromise strongly and during his visit declared that com promise on the Lodge reservation to Article 10 of the League of Nations covenant would not "lSi1l' the treaty because he asserted. other provisions would make for world peace and cause resort rarely to Article 10.
 Another offset of the opposition to compromise was a speech in the Sem
 ate by Senator Ashhurst. democrat. Arizona. in favor of immediate ratifi- cation. Mir. Ashhurst charged both re-
 publicans and democrats with delay ing ratification by playing | partisan politics while the world waits for ac- tion.''
 Sentiment Is rising. the senator de- clared for an independent presidential candidate. because of the Senate delay. The conference of republicans with Senator Lodge late today was held in Senator Johnson's office and was at- tended by Senators Eorah. Knox. of Pennsylvania, Poindexter of Washing ton. Sherman and Mccormick of Illi- nois Brandegee of Connecticut and Moses of New Hampshire. After two hours spent with Mr. Lodge, Senator New of Indiana. who is sitting with MT. Lodge on the leaders committee negotiating with the democratic com mittee, was called in and about an- other hour spent in spirited dlscus- sion.
 Cor1Nr1, r,Nr ruypTy EyCuT VOTEc
 Although all of the senators who
 called in Messrs. Lodge and New voted
 last November against ratification of the treaty and are counted among its , bitterest foes, one of those present oe- clared tonight that they count of sup
 port of 3S votes. or enough to prevent ratification, if their protest against modifying the Lodge reservations IS ,, not needed.
 Except for brief statements from Senators Lodge and Johnson and lengthy statement from Senator Sher- men. few of the senaArs participat- | ing in the conference would talk for publication. Mir. Lodge said the sem ators who called him to the meeting represented ga large group Of senators who want no change in the Lodge reservations" Senator Johnson de- clared that the Lodge reservations we're sa1d Dy MT. IouSe 10 pe lie - reducible minimum Others in the meeting stated privately that the ques- ton of a treaty compromise on re publican solidarity and leadership in the Senate and in the country was discussed.
 Were there any threats to bolt the republican leadership or the partyr' was asked one of the republican con ferees.
 .r .ro,,1a r,ther not ,r,mar that question:" came a hesitant reply. Party solidarity is threatened that is all care to say"
 Senator Johnson was asked regard ing reports widely circulated in Sen ate lobby gossip that declerations had been made of third party moveme nj and a "bolt'' from republican Senate leadership if the Lodge reservations

 Out Bridges

An unusually late spring, follow sd by two weeks of intensely hot sun, has caused the rivers of the district to 50 on a rampage. Sal mon river has ripped out part of the false work for the Texas creek bridge, and it is doubtful if it can be completed this season. However, Road Foreman T.H.Evans has had a cable stretched across for the ben eft of prospectors who are operat- ing in the Texas basin, and says that given a week of cool weather he will replace the falsework and run across the timbers for the truss which are already framed.
 Every little feeder for the Salmon IS now d torrent, lords are practi- cally impossible and large portions of the road are overflowed.
 Bear Viver has raised even worse havoc. The big wagon bridge about a mile from Stewart has gone out and it is hardly possible that the railroad bridge can be saved. Fears are also felt for the Bitter creek bridge. Paddy McDonell's fine gar- den at the American creek road- house has been completely ruined.
 The dry Water-course which runs past the blacksmith shop and the Miner office is now a young river. The Salmon tore around the dam at its head, washing Gus Sundberes cabin away and taking out the foot bridge built last summer by Small and McDougal. Al Chapin came to the rescue shostly after the bridge went out with his team of big black horses and hauled a number of anx- lous ones across. Later M.Meising- seth poled a skiff up and operated an impromtu ferry, With the help of Dan Lindeborg he also succeeded i6 tying up Sundberg's house to the bank, so it will not be a total loss.
 Headed by WLBalch a bundh of citizens formed a bee" and soon had the Nevada street bridge replaced by much more substan- tial structure.

 Protest
"I hate to be a kicker,

ndtc tO Dc klCheF,
 For it does not make for peace,
 But the wheel that does the squeaking
 Is the one that gets the grease.
 Translated from Musings of Noses.
 Wireless station; postoffice, cus- toms office immigration office. These are the subjects which occu- pied the attention of the Hyder Commercial Association last Mon- day night and all came in for con- siderable discussion. The treatment this town has received from the postal department is disgraceful and the association will seek relief by again going after the authorities in every quarter where good may be accomplished.
 Secretary Howard was asked to write regarding the establishment of a wireless station here. The town is entirely dependent upon the Can- adian government telegraph line at Stewart, and this is down a large , part of the time, Last winter no wires could be sent for two months ln one stretch because of the snow, and for the past week the line has been put out of commission by for est fires. When it will be in oper- ation again is problemetical. This at a time when the district is hum- ming with mining activity, is par ticularly deplorable.
 The secretary was also instructed to make enquiries as to when if ever, a customs officer would be stationed here. and also to ask that an immigration officer be appointed.

 The Miner did not really and tru- ly receive this advertisement from MH, Burleson, but has been expect ing to for some time on account of the way the situation has been framing up.
 Under existing laws postmaster is postmaster until his successor qnalifies, so Dan Lindeborg is still postmaster here, although he re- signed more than a year ago and has taken no active part in con- ducting the office since that time. The Salmon River Trading Co. took over the office as an accommodd- ton, with J. V. Clegg octing post master. Long before the latter's withdrawal from the store the com pany was trying to dispose of the office because of the extra work in volved and the fact that the de- partment seemed to care not at all whether there was an office in Hy- der or not, from the fact that there was never any salary check sent.
 Since he became mana9er of the store, w. s. Orr has been acting postmaster. Now the department has added insult to injury by send ing out m lie order blanks etc for the establishment of this branch, but no funds for the payment of in- coming orders. Billy has been send ding orders drawn on Hyder to Ket- chikan, cashing them out of his own packet and waiting for returns on his loans until the postmaster at Ketchikan dug up, This was very accommodating on Billy's part, but it loaded him with a burden he was

not entitled to carry, especially as salary checks were conspicuous by their absence.
 Last winter Oren F. Hill was ap- pointed postmaster and declined with thanks. The idea of running a nhilanthropic institution did not appeal to him.
 Then the department fiddled ar ound until weazened Winter had cast his last frosty mantle over the town and Summer was lolling in the lap of Spring, and then announ- ced the appointment of FL. Meyer. But MT. Meyer said: Nay, nay, not for mine"
 There will probably be another appointment by the time the snow flies again, if the department can find some philanthropic citizen who is willing to undertake the job But anticipation does not help Billy any nor does it help Hyder which, with all other towns of Alaska, must con- tinue to suffer under the maladmin- istration of Burleson and his bunch of bone heads who run the depart ment at Washington.
