FORTIFY- HARBOR AS
. COALING STATION
Goes On Record Favoring
Many Reforms and Impro
vements In West.
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. The
Trans-Mlssisslppi Congress today
adopted resolutions recommending
that a board of skilled engineers he
appointed by the U. S. government to
revise the projects for the improve
ment of the harbor of Coos Day with
a view to fortifying the entrance and
making the harbor a coaling station,
also that an appropriation for carry
ing out the recommendations of the
engineers be made Immediately.
With the installation of the officers
who will direct the destinies of the
Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con
gress for the ensuing year, the dele
gates today began the final delibera
tions devoting most of the time to
the consideration of the resolutions.
The report of the committee on reso
lutions was passed by Judge E. F.
Harris, of Texas, and read by W. O.
Hart, of Louisiana.
The committee on .resolutions ra
nfilrm the resolutions passed by form
er sessions of the congress in regard
to the Improvement of the waterways
and harbors of the entire country.
The committee recommended to the
membeis that the movement should
more especially be represented by
the National Rivers' and Harbors'
congress and adopted as "ours" its
slogan, and that there should be an
nual appropriation of at least $50,
000,000 to be expended in the furth
erance of this pressing and indispens
able work.
The report strongly approves the
"progressive, statesmanlike and pa
triotic utterances and actions of the
president of the United States in re
gard to these great measures," and
favors a department of public works
and so far as requisite an increase in
the public debt to maintain the de
sired Improvements. The resolu
tions point out the necessity of the
maintenance of the big docks at Bre
merton and Mare Island to caro for
the battleship fleet, together with
the needed deep channels to provide
for the deepest draught vessels of the
navy.
That the congress of the United
States at Its next session provide lib
erally for the, extension and main
tenance of an American merchant
marine engaged In foreign trade to
secure the supremacy of American
shipping, "and thus safeguard the
national defense and commerce."
Trans-continental railroads are
asked to grant a one-way round trip
rate to Seattle during the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition.
It is recommended that the con
gress enact adequate laws to compel
the railroads to furnish sufficient
cars for the transportation of freight,
especially of perishable freight, and
fixing penalties for violation of such
laws.
The resolutions endorse the prin
ciples of reciprocity between coun
tries and urge the arrangement of
the tariff schedules on a truly reci
procal basis consistent with the
maintaining of Industries In this
country.
On the subject of grazing the reso
lutions, say, "We recommend to the
congress of the United States the
enactment of laws which shall rea
sonably provide for regulating the
use of public grazing upon public
lands In the United States with a
view to a just, reasonable appor
tionment among the users of public
lands so as to stimulate and encour
age the Improvement of grazing, and
for providing water and other im
provements, subject always to the
right of the homesteader and other
acquisition to the title of tho lands
under tho land laws of the United
States, and that the rental charged
for the grazing upon such lands be
made as low as the administration

LACK OF EXERCISE TO
PARALYZE HARRIMAN. 4
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Ed-
ward H, Harriman, who Is being
treated by an orthopedic stir-
geon, Is suffering from stiffen-
ing of the spine. For several
years the railway magnate has
been compelled to wear a cellu-
lold corset. Although there Is
no Immediate danger, there is a
possibility that tho ailment may
develope into paralysis.
Recently his affairs called
him tyo Boston and while jour-
neylng to that city his spine
stiffened and ho was fcbV.v y
racked with pain.
Dr. W. A. Lylo waj rfim-
moned to treat him. Jt was Dr. 4
Lyl3 who designed the cello, id
coi -er which the capitalist
wec-rs both waktng an i sleeping.
Long ago Dr. Lyle advised Mr. O
Harriman his trouble was due 4
to lack of exercise. Mr. Harrl-
man replied that he could not
afford time for exercise. His af-
fairs were so pressing that the 4
only mode of travel possible
was in motor cars and on flying
railroad trains.

of the law will permit, the profits to
accrue as nearly as may be
to tho localities where the land Is
situated for public school purposes."
Adequate provision for the con
struction of roads and trails through
national parks and forest reserves
Is favored as a means of transporta
tion. As a preventative against forest
fires, legislation, federal and state,
which will compel the persons engag
ed In timber or lumber operations to
so conduct their operations, that the
rights of others will not be endanger
ed, Is also recommended.
The United States Congress Is urg
ed to amend the Interstate Commerce
law to give authority to the commis
sion to suspend advances in freight
rates or changes of classification
pending an Investigation of their
reasonableness, and that all rates be
submitted to the commission before
becoming effective.
On the subject of the public dom
ain, it is resolved, "That the right of
way granted by the federal govern
ment for power of development on
the domain should be conditioned
upon tho continued construction
work in good faith and sincerity
with tho prompt completion of the
work for which the rights are re
quested." The movement to create a depart
ment of mines is endorsed.
The work of the international
fisheries commission and the efforts
of the national government to co
operate with tho different states in
the protection and propagation of
fish in interstate and boundary
waters is approved!

With the three famous Harriman
bear hounds pulling hard on their
leashes, Dr. E. Mlngus started for
tho Ten Mile country today deter
mined to land the first big game the
canines trail In Coos county. Col.
Wm. Grimes expected to go today,
but was unavoidably detained and
will be unable to getaway before to
morrow. Then, he and J. Albert
Matson and others will join Dr. Mln
gus in the Ten Mile country, and if
there are any bears or other var
mints left In that country, It will be
because they can outrun bullets as
well as the dogs.
It Is claimed that tho dogs will
not pay any heed to a deer trail, me
rely following bear and "varmints."
This Is probably well as, If the dogs
should unexpectedly get after a fine
buck and chase him within a few
yards of the hunters, tho temptation
fo shoot would bo so strong well

ing of deer run by dogs would bo In
danger of being violated.
