ers of the progressive republicans who
vja fnyored the Cummins income tax
amendment. These senators consulted
with their colleagues and ns n result
Lho plan was repudiated by them. Mr.
Aldrlch consulted also with republi
can leaders who are opposed to the
income tax idea and he had no better
success with that faction than with the
pi ogresslves.
By an order of the senate the income
como tax proposition will come up to
morrow for n vote but inview of the
unsettled condition n motion will be
made to postpone action and indica
tions .are that practically all of the

ment.

only thing which seem to have been
improved by the rains.

PROPOSED 14-FOOT CHANNEL PRO
JECT RECEIVES SETBACK.
BOARD REPORTS ADVERSELY"
Board of Engineers Reported to Con-
grcs That Such a Water Way la
Undesirable Recommend an Eight-
Foot Channel In Mississippi.
Washington , Juno 10. The proposed
fourteen-foot water project from St
Louis to the gulf received a blow to
day when the- hoard of engineers reported
ported to congress that such a water
way Is not desirable. The water way
would cost $128,000,000 for construc
tion and $0,000,000 annually for main
tenance , the engineers say.
The report was based on a survey
of the Mississippi river by a special
board of engineers created by con
gress. The conclusion reached by both
the special board and the regular
board of engineers nro practically the
same.
The report of the regular board that
It Is not desirable to construct a navIgable -
Igablo channel fourteen foot deep from
St. Louis or from Chicago to the
mouth of the Mississippi was based on
the conclusion of the special board
that only commerce originating from
sources that do not at present ship
by river would Justify the great cost
of a fourteen-foot water way.
It Is claimed that the present de
mands of commerce between St. Louis
nnd the gulf will bo adequately mot by
an eight-foot channel from SL Louis
to the mouth of the Ohio , and a chan
nel of not less than nine feet to the
mouth of the Mississippi. The board's
belief Is that an eight-foot channel
from Chicago to St. Louts Is the least
that would adequately meet the de
mands of commerce. It adds that such
a waterway would be desirable , pro
viding cost wore reasonable. Present
and prospective demands of commerce
between Chicago and the gulf would
bo adequately served , the board re
ports , by a through nine-foot channel
to the gulf. Estimates for these chan
nels have not been completed but are
promised by congress by next Decem
ber. General Marshall , chief of engi
neers , Informed congress In transmit
ting the report that ho could not stata
definitely whether cither of those chan
nels was desirable until after accurate
estimates were made.

HAY A SCARCE ARTICLE.
New Crop Not on the Market and Old
Crop About Exhausted.
Lincoln , June 10. John E. Erlckson
of Montgomery , 111. , manager for all
C. D. Q. stock feeding yards , was
In Lincoln looking after the company's
yards at Burnham. Incidentally Mr.
Erickson was in the market for hay ,
and hay he found to be a scarce ar
ticle. One shipment was found at
Archer , Neb. , but U was a small one.
It was said that there was not to ex
ceed sixty tons for the market at Hay
Point and O'Neill. The northwest hay
country has been robbed of Its sur
plus.
plus.Tho
The new crop of alfalfa will soon bo
on the market , as cutting will FOO bo
started , but in the meantime hay 'IH
be at a premium. Railroad traffic men
have lately been scouring the country
for hay and have found very little of
it at any point. It is explained by
them that the late range In the north
west caused ranchmen to use a great
deal moro than they ordinarily do. and
that this cut the supply short. The
range was from two weeks to ono
month late In many places northwest
and there the feeding had to bo con
tinned longer.
When customers want a special ar
ticle and can find It no other \v'ay they
RO to railroad traffic men for informa
tion as to where it can bo bought.
Then the railroad men begin a search
of the markets. If they find the ar
ticle wanted It means n shipment for
their road. Because of that fact they
hustle diligently to find it.
During the fruit season traffic men
make up long Hats of shippers and
buyers and in many Instances nro suc
cessful in getting shippers and buyers
together. The idea is to get shippers
on the line of road Interested to deal
with buyers on the same line , thus gtv-
ing the business to the road finding
the business.
