General MacKenilo Recommends the
Building of a Boat.
WashiuKtou, Nov. 7. In hi annual
report General MacKt-nxie, chief of en
gineers, made one exception to tho rule

qulllo river. General MacKenilo had
this to ray about the dredge, for which
the lat conferee refused lo make an
appropriation.

that it could be taken from harbor to

THEIR USEFULNESS DONE.
Administration Would Like to Sen Or
egon's Congressmen Resign.
Washington, Nov. 0. It can bo stal
ed on reliable authority that tho Itooso-
volt administration la In sympathy
with the movement now on foot In Ore
gon to Induce Henator Mltcholl and
Hepreentatlve Hermann and William
son to resign their reata In congress.
Ulllclals ol the numlnlstrntlon sharo

ington that Oregon should not be de

acknowledged that Mitchell, Hermann
and Williamson will never again he
able to render their state effective ser
vices; they certainly cannot do so un
der prevailing condition. It being
apparent that not one of these men
could possibly bo In position to perform
active duty a a member of the Fifty
ninth congress, tho administration
think It ia Incumbent upon them all
to resign.
For obvious reasons, no member of
the coodminlitrltion can bo quoted on
thl matter, but, if the president's
view and those of hi various cabinet
ofllcer could bo prinU-d, the people of
Uregon would havo no doubt as to the
poaition of the administration. Ho far
the administration baa done nothing to
forco Mltcholl, Hermann or William
eon out of congrers, though homo offi
cials of tho department of Justice havo
been urging the attorney general to
ask for an advancement of the Mitchell
case on the docket of the United State
Hupreme court. If this I done, and
tho Uupremo court sustain the finding
of the lower court, Mitchell will be
deprived of hi seat some time thl
winter and Governor Chamberlain will
have an opportunity to appoint bis suc
cessor to rerve until March 4, 1007.

Hecretary Taft inform the Assoc! ed
Press that he was very much pleased

his last trip. He thought from what
he bad already seen that the work on
the canal wa progressing satisfactorily
and wn now cfllelently organised. He
aid be wa happy to notice that the
spirit of the men on the canal bod im
proved, and that the condition of five
or ix month ago did not exist.
The secretary eald the unitary con
dition are excellent and believed that
by continuing the present method yel
low fever could be controlled. He
thought tlio efficiency of the laborers
was not as high as it should be, but he
said that ho contemplated making no
change until the men had been given a
fair trial. The department of Commis
saries, where the men could get proper
food, he added, would ralre their effi

In America legislative inquiry ba al
