The bonds would find ready market; the certificates would be hawked hither and thither, 'and would not meet the demands of the emergency which the reclamation service faces. ' Senator Borah Is championing th bond Issue and has a bill therefor. Sena tor Frank Flint of California thu a far has refused to see the desirability of the bonds, and advocates either direct appropriation or certificates. It Is understood that other members or the irrigation committee or tne sen ate favor the bonds, excepting that Sen ator Carter, chairman, Is not unquali fiedly committed to them.., Camion Tig-ata tha Bonds. 1 Speaker Cannon"" resists the bdnd Is sue, and advocates certificates, it is expected that so long as he remains of this opinion the house Jeaders will fol low him. ' However, Senator Borah purposes to fight hard for the bonds. In order that at one funds may be provided for all uncompleted projects, on some of which delay has been compelled, at great in convenience to the government and seri ous loss to the settler. Few believe that Senator Flint's pro posal for direct appropriation could be carried through this session, with a de ficit ' in the national treasury paring down all assignments1 of federal' funds, It is apparent that western people Instance, them would h a demand for 110,000 for Imnierilut ' uae on a given project t'ertiftoates would bo issued therefor, and It would be nenessary to find a buyer. Imnglne f SU,000,000 dis posed of tn that way. Not always woulcf the amount (f certificates Issued be so small as 1 10,000, but the ISO,. 000,000 would be cut up Into Innumer able sums, to be hawked about In the market, and varying purchasing baaea would result. , .

Borah postal Baaks Bil , Borah's bill for postal savings banks Is another measure whluh will be pushed, but it will meet strong opposi tion from the house and senate leaders.

Jerusalem outside of the walls is; modern and comparatively clean. It Is ade up of conventa and hospices hous ing the holy orders of several churches. of Protestant colonies and BchOoIs, of ! business houses and hotels. It has nothing In cpmmon with the Jerusalem within tha walls. Outside, the streets are broad and well paved and car riages are much used. Inside the streets are so narrow, so steep, and so often cut up by steps that the use of any' sort of wheeled vehicle is im-1 possible. There is. outside the wall, 1 an American colony populated princl-j pally by the devotees of a religious 1 sect founded ln Illinois, which offers i hospitality to American pilgrims of any faith. The colony is engaged In the manufacture of souvenirs which are sold in great quantities, and at good profits, to tourists from the United States. But it is not In bits of Roman pave ment, nor yet In modern souvenir shops mat Jerusalem nsa its greatest hold upon the Interest, the imagination." and the reverence of the pilgrim. The Wry center of holiness in the holy city Is In the Sepulchre of Jesus. New York, Dec. 2f. Stockholders of the Walls-Fargo Express company at a special meeting today, assured them selves of handsome Christmas presents when they gave their formal approval to .the proposition of the directors for an Increase ln the capital stock of the company from $8,000,000 to $24,000,000. The new issue of $16,000,000 is to be of fered to the stockholders, to whom a stock dividend of $300 a share is to be declared. This dividend of $300 a share is to be paid out bf the accumulated earnings of the company. The new stock will bo offered to holders of the old stock lit par, ln the proportion of two shares of hew for one of old. The division of the company's surplus, which will result from today's action of the stockholders, will take its place among the richest distributions of profits by a large corporation In the his tory of' American financial operations. Worked out, the dividend plan gives each stockholder funds for the purchase of two shares of hew stock at par and $100 ln cash. DON'T GET RUN DOWN Weak and mlnerable.
