Bill Washington, Jan. 10.— The river and mrbor committee lias adopted the pol icy of appropriating only for waterways which are being partially improved at state or municipal expense. Representative William son today laid before Chairman Burton a long state ment showing that the city of Portland has expended up to December a total of I I ,1108,000 in channel improvements from Portland to the sea, and that the state of Oregon has appropriated $165,- 000 for building a portage road from The Dalles to C elilo and $100,000 ad ditional for the purchase of right o! way for a government canal between these points. In view of these large expenditures M r. W illiam son urged the committee to deal liberally w ith all C o lu m b ii river projects The conference of Republican leaders at the W h ite House today, taken in conjunction w ith the announcement of Mr. Burton, is taken to mean that there w ill lie little or no appropriation for rivers and harbors at this session. Before his conference with the Re publican leaders the president talked over the situation with Mr. Burton and expressed in very forceful terms his conviction that it would be wise, in view of the depleted condition of the treasury, to postpone the river and harbor b ill, and to expend any availa ble surplus in carrying out a liberal naval program. Sir. Burton has not yet abandoned the idea of passing a river and harbor bill this session, and his committee w ill go ahead with its work, hoping to complete a b ill by the end of next week. The b ill, however, w ill be small, and w ill provide only for the more important projects, cutting out all small waterways which have no real commerce, and which are not sup p orts! in any way by state appropria tions. I f such a b ill is brought in, it w ill provide for the mouth of the Columbia river— the river from Portland to the sea— and for the Dalles-Celilo canal, and may possibly make some provision for the acquisition of the canal and locks at Oregon City, provided the state is w illin g to bear part of tbe expense. Aside from these items, however, there seems at this tinie to be little prospect that congress w ill do anything this ses sion for the waterways of the North Pacific. Jie, it is learned, is firm ly of the |on that, however dark the out- peace at this moment, when fpect brightens, it is to Presi- loosevelt that th e' neutrals as the lielligeren ts,1 w ill look as frm ediary through whom peace Ions w ill lie initiated.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 6. — The scenes at the adm iralty and war office today were a repetition of those of yesterday, crowd* of weeping women ami children vainly asking for lists of the survivors of the Port Arthur garrison, which could not lie furnished.

Nine inches of b iio w fell, paralyzing trafile, and brought untold suffering to the city s poor. Seven deaths in New Y’ ork and vicinity were reported, w h ile many persons, overcome by cold, dropped to the street, some of them fracturing bones. F ive of the seven men who met death from the results of the storm died from exposure and another slipped on the icy platform of an elevated station, fell in front of an approaching train and was ground to pieces. The seventh, a conductor on the Pennsylvania ra il road, blinded by the drivin g snow, stepped in front of the “ Congressional L im ited ” train at South Am boy and was instantly k illed. It is estimateli that the storm w ill cost the New York city railway com pany over $100,000. Incoming ocean liners report a b liz zard at sea. Today 5,000 men were put to work clearing the streets of New York and tomorrow the number w ill be doubled. The effects of the blizzard were felt at most points along the New England and M iddle Atlantic coast«. So far no marine fatalities have been reported. In New Y ork city traffic of all kinds was impeded, trolley lines were tied up and the streets, swept by a gale d riv ing before it fine snow that cut like sand and piled in great drifts, were practically impassable. Railroad trains from all points were delayed from a few minutes to three hours, am1 elevatisi lines were operated w greatest difficulty, without regi. * 4 schedule.

Everybody has heard of furniture which is given an appear ance o f antiquity by worm eating ar tificially produced. The old crude w a y was to bore holes with a gimlet. A more subtle way Is now In use. The bacteria which bore holes In wood are cultivated on potatoes, and are thence rubbed Into modern imitations. They eat their w ay In; but, ae everybody knows, I f wood Is too much worm- eaten It rots and collapses Into dust Therefore, when the process o f decay ha* gone far enough to give to the "modern antique” a venerable appear ance, but not far enough to make It unsafe to sit down on or to lean agalnat It, becomes desirable to kill off the bacteria.
