Thn conclusion seemed to be that it could, and that It prescribed Its own action by its rules. However, these mint prohibited Increasing a sal ary without provision of law. Monday, March 10. Waahlngton, March 10. There were three apoechrs on tho railroad rate bill In tho senate today. McCreary, llalley and Heyburn were the oratora.

Meaturo Oregon Streams, Washington, March 20, Tho Goo logical Btirvoy has formed a now hydro graphic district, comprising tho states of Washington nnd Oregon, Tho bend quarters ol J. O.

Ho la well qualified (or this Important work. Tho Oregon atato Btuvoyor at present co-operates with tho government googaphlcal survey. of Dill Regulating National declamation Work. Wnahlngton, Mnrch 20. In Ha gen eral operation, tho National reclama tion Inw has proven quite as effective as Its If amors expected; Indeed, tho gen eral work of nntlonnl Irrigation la pro gressing satisfactorily. In tho admin istration of tho Iteclamatlon service, however, thoro has boon soma slight friction which ban resulted In delays that havo boon bothersome, If nothing inoro. No ono can real I re this more than tho chief of tho Iteclamatlon service, Mr. Nowoll, and the director of the Geological survey, Mr. Walcott. To obvlato these delays, tho reclamation authorities havo explained tho situa tion to tho preslden and ho baa ap proved tholr recommendations and at the Joint request of these ofllclnla a hill baa Ihjoii Introduced In congress which will, If enacted, prove of very material benefit to tho Iteclamatlon service. Moat of tho friction and delay com plained of is tho reault of red tape that exists between tho Reclamation uillce and tho Interior department proper. Their dealings nro not direct, and In tho roundabout courso they follow many delays are likely to occur. Tho hill that has boon laid before tho house by Representative Cooper docs away with Ibis red tape by providing a more direct means of communication, at the same tlmo giving tho Iteclamatlon aer vlco more leeway. Tho director of tho geological survey ia made the director of tho Reclamation service and he goes nb tail with his plans, mcroly submit ting them to the secretary (or approval and not (or revolw. Anothor Important change ia made by the bill In the matter of apportion ing and expending money (or reclama tion works. At present thla money ia entirely under the control of the secre tary. At this tlmo there Is a very strong sentiment In congress against allowing cabinet officers to handle such funds In a free manner, and tho ten dency Is to restrict lump appropriations and stipulate tho various purposes for which tlio money la to be used. The Cooper bill permlta tho Iteclamatlon aervlco to send to congreaa each year a statement of the expenditures which it proposes to make during the following 12 months, ao that congress shall spe cifically authorize the various expendi tures. Thus, while the Iteclamatlon service will retain tho right to say how the funds shall bo apportioned, their findings are always subject to the ap proval of congress. Notwithstanding this bill Is approved In ita ontirlty by Prealdnet Roosevelt and by tho houto leaders, Reprerenla tlve Mondell, of Wyoming, chairman of tho Irrigation committee, says It is (aulty and has asked permission to mako certain amendments. GREAT TRADE WITH EUROPE. Our Exports Patted the Dilllon-Dollar Mark In 1005. Washington, March 20. Europe takes two-thlida of tho exports of the Unltod States and supplies practically one-half of tho Imports, aaya a bulletin Issued by the Department of Com merce nnd Labor. Of tho 11,021,000, 000 worth of merchandise sent to Ku ropo in 1005, 1230,000,000 waa manu factures, tho other $782,000,000 worth being largely foodstuffs and mnnufac furore' material, In 1000 tho exporta to Kurope crossed tho $1,000,000,000 lino, nnd since then havo avoraged about $1,050, 000,000 por annum. In 1900 tho ox- ports to all sections ol tho world other than Kuropo wero $354,000,000 in valuo; In 1005 they wore $408,000. 000, tho growth alnco 1000 in epxorta to tho uon-Kuropean countries having been proportionately greater than to Kuropo. Prior to 1800, 'the sharo of the Im ports drawn from Kuropo avoraged about 55 por cent; in 1005, it wis 48.4 per cent. This reduction, tho bulletin says, Is apparently accounted (or by the growing demand in the United States (or tropical and subtropical pro ducts, which are supplied almost ex clusively by tho other grand divisions of tho world. Tho value of theso pro ducts into.the United States In 1005 was $508,000,000, against $303,000, 000 in 1S05. Onishad With Iron Hand. Buklium, TraiiBcnurnsIa, Mnrcli 20.

This feather Is said to be worth 10, 000, nnd hns tho distinction of being tbo only ono of Its kind in tho world. It took twenty years to procure It, nnd It caused the death of more than n doz en hunters. Tho reason tho pursuit of tbo iHThvnk Is so duugerous Is because It Inhabits tho jungles and other haunts of tigers. Drafts over deep wells nro usually duo to changes of teniiwnturo or bnr ometrlc pressure, nlr being forced In ns tho pressure rises and drawn out when the barometer Is falling. Hut two wells In thu Vlcksburg Jackson limestone of fouthoru Georgia havo shown tho strange phenomenon of n continuous In draft. This has Ixvu Investigated by S. W.
