PROGRESS OF CANAL TRAFFIC Census Bulletin Shows Tremendous Gaini by Ship Canals. OTHER WATER ROUTES FALL OFF Comparisons Are Made Betwrea Deep Pratt Channels at America aad the Mara Bad Kalarr V.'llbeim 'Caaal. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. April 6. (Special.) In connection w ith the great .conference to be hMd at the White lloune In May, to dis cuss the nation's natural resources, a recent census bulletin Is of significant Interest, rtail and water trannporttlon will form the principal, topic of discussion .when the gov ernors and olhej prominent man from each of the various states of the union meet with President Roosevelt to consider what the president aptly terms the "funda mental problem" before the country. Cen sus bulletin No. 91, devoted to "transporta tlon by water'.' during 1906, gives some In teresting figures concerning the growth of traffic - through canals of deep draft, while a heavy falling off In tonnage Is shown In all other canals. The total num ber of tons of freight which passed through the ship canals of the United Statea during that year was 118,114,267, as sgalnst 38.905,820 tons In 1889 and 5.076,391 In 1880. On the other hand, all other ca nels In the country In 1906 carried but 4,330, 138 tons of freight, as compared with 9,762. 505 tons in 18S9 and 15.967,901 In 1KS0. The enormous growth of business through the canals at Sault Ste. Marie controlled by the Unite-States and Canada, respec tively. Is more readily understood when compared with the tonnage of the vessela passing through the Suea and Kaiser Wll helm csnsls. In 1896 the net tonnage of the American Canadian canals was 17.149.41S. During the same years vessels measuring 8.560.284 tons psssed through the Sues canal and 1,50S,98J through the Kaiser Wilhelm. Ten years later the tonnage passing from and to Lake Superior points through the "Soo" reached the enormous figure of 41, 09.33i tons, while the reports from Sues showed only 13.443.J92, and the tonnage of the German ditch had grown to t.796,949. Soathera Mem be ( Xin School. Members of, congress, especially- those from the western states, ,are rather proud of tho fact that they are compelled to an swer anywhere from twenty-five to 100 let ters every day. But there are a few, poa slbly aa many aa half a dosen. who have to answer tho calls of at least twenty of their (constituents, who visit them In per son, every twenty-four hours. All these have a comparatively easy time cor pared with the demands made upon the time of Representative Charles 3. Carltn of the Eighth district of Virginia. Mr. Carlln's home Is In Alexandria. . only eight miles from Washington, and in consequence he la the most sought after man In congress. Not a day passes but at least fifty of his constituents visit him. They come In pairs, dozens and acores, and the new member has discovered, what he never suspected before election, thet about half of his en tire constituency has Important business on tho District side of the Potomac river. Mr. Carltn la one of the youngest members of the house. He represents the new school of southern members. Not so-man 'yeira ago an essential requlslt for the election of anyone to congress from the southern states was blue blood connections. Just after the war It was easier for a soft-nosed bullet to plerco Krupp armor plate than for a man not to the manon born to be elected to con gress. But today the aalf-made young man of the south has an equal chance with hia mora fortunate confrere to "break Into" congress. I Mr. Carlin Is of that type. He won hia election on hl merits and he has certainly "made good." Since the house met In December he hss not missed single session. He has been one of the most active and painstaking of the southern members. His speech on the "yto restore the words "In Ood We Trust" to the coinage was a historical rev. elation and shows he had carefully searched history for the basis of his speech. It waa through his efforts that the commissioners of the District of Columbia were rrstrslned from paying $1,500,000 to the Pennsylvania railroad as Washlngton'a share of the coat of the grand new Union station, and he made the fight because .the railroad com pany had not yet carried out Ha contract. Carlin Is a "comer," and If his constitu ents show their appreciation of the efforts of the former newsboy aa they ahould he will continue to represent the Eighth Vir ginia district with the htotorio city of Alex, andrla as its principal municipality, for' many years.

The' items of business In the session of the city council Ftldsy pight have called forth considerable .Comment. The first was the settlement of the W. F. Evana Judg ment for J2.000. This resolution was passed on the recommendation of the city attorney and was presented to the council by J. H. Bulla.. .The council first ordered Hhe at torney to appeal. 1l)e case, but last Friday rescinded Its former action. The suit was for personal Injury. Evans was examined by Dr. John Koutsky, at that time city" physician. and pronounced uninjured. When the case Was brought to trial for some reason Dr. Koutsky waa never called as a witness. Nsturally. it should have been the duty of the city claim agent to aee that all the witnesses who had knowl edge of the case should have been called, and especially the city physician, w ho 'had examined the supposed injured party. The assistant city attorney said yester day morning: "I don't believe Evans was entitled to a red cent. Tho Judgment was for S:,500, but Evans agreed to a re mittitur of $,',00 on the ground of Imme diate aettlement. The Judgment cannot be paid this year, for the judgment fund haa been'largely overdrawn. ' J. H. Bulla styled the case aa one of holdup, b,ut laid all the responsibility on the city attorney. The present administration has been apt at settling cases of this kind out of court. The second Item waa the Independent Telephone franchise. The petition pre sented In protest had the effect of killing the ordinance, which waa on Its final paeaage. The council caused another ordl nance to be introduced to submit the question of the Independent Telephone franchise to a vote of the people. The o dlnance names May S aa the date of the apecial election. This Is the same date as tha special election voting court house bonds. The haste of the present council to get the ordinance through Is accounted for In the minds of many ,who have been watching events, when it is known that the democratic campaign fund received fl.SOO from some source pot long ago. The Independent telephone people have been aeeking admission into South Omaha over a year, but the council never seemed anxious to take up the matter until the approach of the campaign.
