The rivers and harbors committee spent a large part of today in consideration o projects on the Pacific Coast, but reached no definite conclusions. man Burton has not materially changed Our object haS alwaVS been In the last few days, lie is persistent in , : i. fUpVKpqf rfrnftfU for .lilnn iihn rvilln Canal, thouch 10 TU1I11S11 XUli UCbt gOOUt XU1 willing to make adequate appropriation for the mouth of the river, but he is just as unyielding in regard to strictly Wash ington projects as he Is regarding the Co lumfola River. Burton has set his foot down on the Lakes Union and Washington canal, so Ktnmgly urged by Seattle: he has de clined to consider either of two projects which arc being urged for Tacoma har bor, and is unwilling to permit an appro priation for a new jetty improvement at the entrance to Gray's Harbor. If his opposition prevails the three most impor tant projects in "Washington will be elim inated from the bill along with The Dalles-Cclilo Canal. Burton the Whole Thing. Tt lias become very apparent in the last few days that Chairman Burton is the whole rivers and harbors committee. "Whatever he says goes. "Whatever proj ects ho favors are adopted, those that he opposes are knocked out. "With one or two exceptions members of this commit tee are mere puppets doing Burton's bid ding, interposing no objection to his plans, insisting upon nothing that he opposes. Representative Jones of Washington Is one exception to this rule. Jones has been standing out from the very first for rec ognition of the Celilo canal project and today had another long personal confer ence with Burton about it. He has not been able as yet to get any assurance that the project will be recognised, though he does not despair of winning out in the end. Because of the attitude of the other - members of the committee, Jones has liad tormake a lone fight, get ting his whole support on the outside from Representative Williamson and Sen Rtor Fulton. These three men have worked incessantly with Burton in the interest of the canal and have offered various propositions, but none has yet been accepted. If the members of the committee had any backbone and acted for themselves Jones might be able to get Inside Influence behind the various project's which ho is pushing. His work Is all the more difficult because members of the committee, noting Burton's posl tlon. arc unwilling to consider projects on their merits. Only Hope Is the Senate. It looks at this time as though the committee would provide for contlnuin Improvement at the mouth of the river and authorize small appropriations for maintaining projects heretofore built along the Oregon coast, make no pro vision for the Celilo canal, nor authorize tlu purchase of tho Willamette Falls ca nal and locks. Only the smaller projects In Washington seem to he regarded with favor, those mo.t desired by Seattle and Tacoma being in disrepute with the House itimmlltce. If the House bill cuts out all the: projects, the Senators from the North west will make a mighty effort to have amendments inserted when it reaches the Senate providing for the Celilo canal, for Tav oma harbor and nossibly Gray's Har boT. The Seattle canal seems ever be yond the roach of the Senate. It is blacklisted. est point, and it looks very much as If the economic principles would be carried out quite rigidly at this session. Among many men, both in and out of Congress, there is a belief that the rigid economy of the Government, such as cut ting off river and harbor improvements, public buildings and building the navy, will result In a great curtailment of Indus tries and be the beginning of general business retrenchment outside of Gov ernment works, and be harmful to the country. The idea of these men is that the Government should first see that the revenues are sufficient to meet the ordi nary expenditures of the Government, and the extraordinary means should not be adopted to save a deficit in the treas ury. 1 other words, these men hold that the Government should not be first to enter up"oo, a curtailment of baetnees and force the discharge of employes and the reduction of the general output of the country. I Irrigation Bills Delayed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. IS. Efforts were made in the Senate today to secure passage of bills introduced by Senators Fulton and Bard clearing away obstacles that threaten to defeat the Malheur and Klamath irriga tion projects. Senator Gorman objected without stating reasons, and the bills had to go over. They will be pressed at an early day. 1 MRS. CHAD WICK A WBECK. KELLY POSTMASTER OF BURNS Waters Was Indorsed, but Storm of Protests Caused Withdrawal. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. IS. President Roosevelt has withdrawn the nomination of Edward Waters, as postmaster at Burns, Or., and substituted the nnme of Harrison Kelly. Waters was recommended for re appointment in Dccembor, but since that time reports have come to hand showing him to bo disqualified to continue in of lke. For that reason Kelly's name was substituted. Kelly is the personal choice of Senator Mitchell. At the time the delegation indorsed Waters for Postmaster, no reason was Known why he should not be reappointed. Since that indorsement was made, how ever, every member of the delegation has been Hooded with letters setting forth ery material charges which justified them in withdrawing their support. By letter he delegation asked the President to re call Waters' nomination and to nominate In his stead Harrison Kelly, an old-time 'riend of Senator Mitchell. The entire delegation indorsed Kelly, and at its re quest the President acted. Has Physical and Mental Collapse, and Can't Stand Trial. CLEVELAND. Jan. IS. Mrs. Cassie L.

First Floor. The Jap-Russo war affects the "white sales" in the linen store. Vast quantities of flax are produced in Russia, handled by peasant "women and boys under war age, so tbe crops were saved in fine shape; 20 per cent better than the previ ous year's quantity v and quality. The result has been to set linen men all over the world a thinking and a selling. Perhaps this has helped to make our annual January linen sales greater and bargains better than ever before.
