prompted the city commission to
' seriously consider an amendment to
the present muzzling ordinance. The
commission continued its meeting last
evening until tonight hih time the
proposition of hurrying the date of
effectiveness of the dog muzzling or
dinance will come up. ' At present
the ordinance is effective in June. .
Considerable matters of importance
came before the lommisslon. The :
application of n week ago for a per
mit to build a garage back of the
Home Telephone company's office,
and one last evening to build a coal
shed for use by the Sawyer-Clark
concern, took up considerable time,
and the proposition was - laid over
pending further investigation. The
manager and fire chief found that
both, petitions are techniclly forbid

(Seal) CHAS. REYNOLDS,
Notary Public for Oregon.
Washington, March 13 Every one
remembers the school book story from
Roman history about Scipio and the
and the famous saying with which he
concluded every speech he made; Car
thago dolenda ets:" how when he
first said "Carthage must be destroy
ed," the idea of wiping out then
proud rival had never occurred to the
Romans; ' how his repetition of the
statement brought on the last Punic
war and finally how the proud capital
of northern Africa was destroyed and
a plow run over the place where she
had stood. - -. . '.'..'.-;
But perhaps you do not know that
there is now in the American House
of representatives a man who is mak
ing another slogan as familiar to his
fellow congressmen "Carthago delen-
da ast" was to the ears of the senators
of Rome. ; '
I will waeer that e re this you have
cuessed who it is that has followed
l in the foot steps-ot tne famous Koman
Yes! It is "Nick," Sinnott, representa
tive from the second Oregon, whom I
here and now dub "The Scipio of the
American Congress. ' y
And the best of all the prospects
are that his persistence will bring,
good fruitage in come congress in the
foregrounds of the near future. If
Secretary Lane clings to his declarled
purpose to recommend no more new
reclamatinn projects until those now
under construction are finished or on a
paying basis it would mean that it will
be six or eight years before new irri
gation works will be undertaken any
where by the federal government. If
congress should make Oregon an ex
ception to this and grant an appropria
tion for reclamation wortc in our state,
I firmly believe that this will be due
to this persuasive persistence of Nick
Sinnott. In season and out of season
he has planted in the brains of his
colleagues the idea that "Oregon has
been robbed of its irrigation rights."
To illustrate the effect of what I
have been tailing about I will cite one
circumstance. In the discussion of
the Sinnott amendment on the floor of
the house February 12, 1915, after
Sinnott had made his speech, Rcpre
sentative Sherley of Kentucky said:
"I am sure that whenever the report
comes in fro mthe escretary of in
terior to congress if there is a project
for Oregon it will be dealt with by the
committee, with utmost (fairness and
liberality."
Author of Public Legislation. .
Another thing which the member
from eastern Oregon is entitled to,be
proud about is the fact that although
serving his first term he -is the ''au
thor of two pieces of general- public
legislation. I refer to the Sinnott bill
providing for two absence periods dur
ing a year from a homestead and the
Sinnott bill providing for extention of
the enlarged homestead law so as to
permit entrymen who could have fil
ed on an additional 160 acres before
final proof, to do so after final proof
ana iccuance of patent. Although both
of these pieces of legislation will be
of great benefit to the eastern Oregon'
homesteader, they will also be of ben
efit to the homesteaders in all the dry
land states.' Sinnott thus has the dis
tinction of being a national legislator
in his first term.. In the case of the
last bill, it seemed that the bill would
die in the senate in the final rush of
business; certainly it would have
"died" if compelled to go to confer-

Makes Notable Speeches.
Sinnott has made several sneeches
during the two years here, two cr
three of which have brought Mm many
trioutes irom Ms colleagues and the
press of the east. Probably the most
widespread comment was caused by
ms speecn on the fanama tolls repeal.
Much space was given this sooech in
the New York and other eastern pap
ers ana witnout doubt it inspired the
idea which the cartoonists in the New
York American incorporated in his
enrtoon captioned "Taking on an Eng
lish pilot.."
Among other things which have been
crowded into the very busy two years
of the sixty-third congress by the east
tern Oregon member are:
Increasing allowance of Pendleton
public buildings by $60,000. Report
from public lands committee on water
site withdrawal for Baker and of pas
sage of same through the house. The
favorable action of Sinnott
with Chamberlain bill for exchange
of land in Ochoco National forest in
Oregon. Secure favorable action by
public land committee for exchange of
40,0r acres of forest land between
statt f Oregon and federal govern
ment. Got provisions for survey at
Hood R;ner inserted in rivers and har
bors bil Appropriations for Cascade
Locks, Oregon, for river east of Celilo
and after of passage of rivers and har
bors bill got full amount allotted for
completion left in by chief of engin'

Wherever a boat wa3 moored or

bent, new rigging and enirines install
ed, fresh paint slathered and wood
work and hulls caulked, painted and

The fishing fleets, commercial and
for amateur nimrods, are actively en
gaged in nttmg out. The dollar-a-Sunday
fishing trips will soon be in
full blast. Sunday excursion boats,
up, the Hudson, on the Sound and out
to sea are on the brink of public
solicitation. . . ";; -.-
This is going to be a gasoline year,
according to the outlook today.
Motor boat builders are overwhelmed
with work finishing orders placed
last year. Some speedy races on
the Hudson, are already scheduled in
the near luture. The bon ton boat
houses there and yacht clubs are al
so in the throes of seasonal prepara
tion, Kestaurants and road houses
which seek the water patronage are
being refurnished for another season.
College crews are taking the water in
their shells.
Excursion boats between here and
Albany, Botson, Providence Atlantic
City and the ocean resorts are plan
ning early resumption of their regu
lar summer schedules,.
A new sight for tourists which
promises much business for boatmen
and ferrists this summer from tour
ists is the fleet of foreign ships in
terned near here, mostly at Hoboken.
While visitors except the favored
few with cast-iron credentials, are de
nied a foot aboard the tied-up boats,
they are a mecca of tourist pilgrimage
nevertheless. The leviathan Vater
land is the "star" atti action. If the
war holds out in Europe river boat
man are looking forward to a pros
perous season.
An interesting development of the
war, too, is the prospect of a sum
mer excursion rate war. Stagnation
and tieing up both passenger and
freight shipping by the war has dis
rupted normal traffic conditions.
Owners of some of the ocean eont
craft are turning their attention to the
coastwise trade, while the coasters,
meeting new competition, are report
ed to be threatening invasion of the
excursion field.
Incidentally "dollar excursions
to Atlantic Citv are already being
advertised. Altogether it looks like
a most enjoyable and maybe cheap
er summer for devotees of the
water. '
