The company agreeing to do the work nt the least cost will not be known until late this afternoon, on account of the many provisos con tained in them. It looks, however, as though the Caughreff, Winters & Smith company hade the lowest of fer. The firms competing for the con tract are as follows: North American Dredge company, Tuget Sound Bridge & Dredge company, Johnston Porter, Celilo Construction company, Robert Wakefield & Co., Caughreff, Winters & Smith company and Wise Bros. Ac cording to the specifications the work has to be started within 30 days from the letting of the contract. The total amount available for this work la about 0. 000 $200,000 in hand, $336,000 appropriated In the sundry civil act approved May 27, 1908. and $164,000 to be appropriat ed hereafter.. It Is probable that this last sum will be appropriated at the next sesion of congress. Should congress fail to provide the unappropriated balance of $164,000 before all other available funds have been exhausted, the contractor will be notified to that effect and be given the option of continuing work or sus pending operatlos until more funds are available. The work to be done Is the con struction of a part of the navigable canal between Celllo, Ore., and Big Eddy. The canal closely parallels the O. R. & X. and the state portage railways, and Is approximately 8.6 miles long. The portion of the canal to be con structed under these specifications will begin near Tumwater, where the contract of Smyth & Jones ends, and extend as far ns available funds wljl build it. It Is estimated that at least 14,400 feet of the canal can be built complete in every particular, except as to the reinforced concrete lining of the bottom and sides in sand and gravel sections.

Kern, democratic candi date for vice president, writes his views of the office of vice-president for Collier's Weekly as follows: It has been a rather flippant jest for many decades that the viee-pres-idency h.i.s ceased to be a position of influ-nc-e and high honor. Mr. Bryan has answered this In his speeches and in his written addresses to the American people by declaring that In his judgment the vice-president should be a member of the pres ident's official family and have a seat at the cabinet table. Vice-pres-iri-nts in the past have influenced leg islation largely, but usually by in direction. My own conception of the duties of any public official Is that the In fluence he exerts should be direct, open, obvious and known to all men, I! the vice-president Is to be simply the presiding officer of the senate, with, of course, the opportunity to invite senators Into his room and sug gest to them the views he may have upon pending legislation, he becomes very close to a mere lobbyist. If by the friendship or by the po litical convictions of the president he Is able to come out Into the open, speak as frankly as his chief speaks, and exert upon legislation openly and avowedly as much Influence as any member of the cabinet may, his of fice Is raised to the dignity which was the original understanding of the framers of the constitution that it should possess. I am of course estopped by the pro prieties of the occasion from going into any detail concerning the possi bilities of a vice-president ultimate!) becoming president, either through the death of his leader or by subse quent election. But I do believe that the possibilities are such that one who offers himself as a candidate for the vice-presidency should be frankly willing to express his views concern ing tho duties and obligations of thb (residency. This nation has known many vice presidents who ultimately succeeded to the first office. I think it may be said that nearly all of them attained that high scat of responsibility which the presidency should entail. The vice-presidency Itself, unless there shall be close and friendly relations with the occupant of the Whlto House, furnishes little opportunity for the development of a wide knowl edge of public men and of public af fairs. If there Is this co-operation, the long atretch of Pennsylvania ave nue from Capitol Hill to the White House will be politically and intellec tually very much abridged. But Just exactly as the vice-president is really the servant and not the muster of the senate, so do I believe that the president himself is not to be, nor to attempt to be, the master of congress. This government of ours U a representative government. It Is not to be dominated In one legislative department by the hard hand of the presiding officer, nor In both legislative departments by the determined use by the president of the power of patronage. My concep tion of the presidency, If It be proper for me to express It here, Is that it should remain, as the constitution de clared it s'lould be, distinctly an ex ecutive office. Let congress make the laws with out being Influenced or coerced by any sort of executive interference, other than the recommendations and suggestions In his message which" nre provided for In the constitution. Let the courts construe those laws with reference to their constitutional ity. Then let the president, the chief tycecutlvo of the nation, administer and enforce those laws, whether they appeal to his own personal prejudices or otherwise, but without effort to criticize either the congress of the United States or the courts of the United States. The conception of the duties and obligations of tho presidency which any man. whether a candidate for federal office or otherwise, can read ily form for himself is to be found In the constitution of the United States, which Is at no point more explicit than In its definition of the duties of both president and vice-president. Taft to Meet. Negroes. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 2. It la stat ed that a delegation from the Nation al Negro Baptist association, which will hold Its convention here the mid dle of .the month, will go to Cincin nati on September 22 to confer with William H. Taft on political Issues af fecting the colored people of the country. The candidate has agreed to meet the .delegation on the date men tioned. Every etate and territory will be represented In the delegation. Remarkable how little we are In terested In people we know to be truly good. STOCK PLUNGING STIRS THE MAItKKT Henry Clews says of the present financial condition of the country: Last week's excessive dunging op erations fortunately created only a temporary disturbance. Incidentally they proved the hazardous position of the short side of the market. There are comparatively few stocks for sale; partly because Investors and the public recognize that recupera tion Is the order of the day, and part ly because the big operators are op posing any Important reaction at this time. As long as improvement in In dustrial and mercantile affairs con tinues it will be difficult to check the present hopeful temper which pre vails in financial circles. Wall street always looks far ahead, and Is now actively discounting all the Improvements that Is likely to take place before next January. It may be overdlscounting that prob ability; but If so, it is only moving In accordance with precedent. By far the most Important element In the stock market Just now is the world-wide ease In money. This ease In not so much a consequence of In crease In the gold supply as some would have us believe, although that factor cannot be Ignored. The present glutted condition of the money market Is chiefly attribut able to the accumulation of funds which always follows panic, regard less of the production of gold. Busi ness activity has been at a minimum, and funds came out of hoarding as confidence revived. These two movements caused a pil ing up of Idle , funds In the banks, which now hold extraordinary re serves In spite of the fact that the crop movement has begun, and that usually currency Is flowing freely to the west and south at this season. They also account for the record- breaking accumulation of gold In the American and European banks more than the enormous production of the Rand district. What is the effect of such an ac cumulation of Idle funds? The own ers must Inevitably seek better em ployment than afforded by current low rates on call and time money. Since confidence, though rising, is not fully restored and caution Is neces sary In making Investments, credit expands slowly. Only the best borrowers and the best proposals are welcomed at the bank. Discrimination Is still neces sary; the result being that large hold ers of Idle money nre obliged to In vest In the better class of securities. Money can be much more profitab ly employed in these lines than In or dinary lending; good Investments thus become scarce, and the big speculator with an abundance of cheap money at his command Is af forded an unusual opportunity. This explains the present stubborn ness of the market to yield to artifi cial pressure, also the strong under tone shown In the face of unfavora ble news. Cheap money Is not only a powerful but under the clrcumstan. ces, It Is the most natural stimulant to business that could be expected. With the prospect of low rates of Interest for several months to come there Is little' chance for any Import ant reaction In either financial of mercantile circles, certainly not until money rates advance or reaction Is produced from causes not yet apparent. TESTED AND PROVEN. Idaho IIkIiIIh Mis t. Boise, Ida., Sept. 2.
