WASHINGTON CHAT [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., Jan. 21. That members of congress are taking a decided interest in the increasing number of railroad wrecks throughout the country is made evident by the numerous resolutions introduced in both senate and house, providing that congress shall make a thorough investigation into the causes of these accidents. All of the resolutions aim to compel the railroads to adopt some system that will prevent such loss of life as has occurred during the past six months. The railroad disaster that happened near Washington just before the first of the year and in which forty people were killed, was so close to the halls of congress that it brought the carelessness of the railroads in operating their trains forcibly to the front, and the result is the crystallization of a sentiment in congress that something practical should be done during the present session. It is likely that a joint committee consisting of five senators and five representatives will be empowered to subpoena witnesses, take testimony and compel the production of all books and papers bearing on the subject, in order to ascertain the causes of wrecks and to make such recommendations in the form of a bill to be passed by congress as will give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to make rules as shall prevent similar accidents in the future. The Vesuvius is in being to throw a few mite into the harbor and which chipped some harmless merchant. The Vesuvius is in being equipped as a ship and her first expedition to determine whether torpedo tubes be some of the new battle practicable, the large at present being 18 inch. The navy depaired that some use the "white elephant" on its hands as the taining the vessel and has eaten up consi­tion that could have been ter purposes. The army regulates the subject have been as to provide that Star Spangled Banner the band on a formal military station, or where persons belong tary service are presen­cial capacity, all offici­ed men present shall tion, and if not in shall render the pro­position of the se­tained until the last national air. It is also the same respect sha­t toward the national country when it is pli­ment to official reg­such country. When Spangled Banner" is to subpoena witnesses, take testimony and compel the production of all books and papers bearing on the subject, in order to ascertain the causes of wrecks and to make such recommendations in the form of a bill to be passed by congress as will give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to make rules as shall prevent similar accidents in the future. When Speaker Cannon calls the House to order each day at noon, the resounding "whack" of his gavel coming down on the desk in front of him can be heard all over the big room and there is no mistaking the fact that Uncle Joe means for the "House to come to order." The gavel in question, a handsomely polished piece of ivory, is in charge of a page whose duty it is to place the gavel on the speaker's desk before the house opens and return it to the speaker's room after adjournment. One day last week, the speaker was late in arriving at the capitol, something very unusual. He entered the lower door on the House side, rushed for the elevator and the next minute was in his chair but the famous gavel was not in sight, neither was the page who has charge of it. Uncle Joe was at a loss to know what to do and in sheer desperation pounded on the marble front of the desk with his bare knuckles but the house failed to come to complete order until the gavel was found and the familiar pounding of the speaker was heard. If Representative Chaney of Indiana has his way, the education of boys on farms who desire to follow the vocation of farming, will soon be made smooth and easy. Providing the bill he has introduced in the house is passed, the farmer's boy will no longer have to follow the plow with calloused feet nor thin the corn with an aching back in order to learn the intricacies of when, where and how to sow and reap. Secretary Shaw is aware over the risk he not having fire-proof which to place the treasury, represent aggregating almost all In order to avoid government to the end and loss that would destruction of paper of the secretary has required an immediate ap $3500 for suitable files for the safe keep official bonds of which now on file some 60,000. About five years ago was provided but tha ed only 10,000 bonds, being filed in ordinary which are always su truction by fire. The secretary is imperative receive prompt attention time it passes through red tape at the cap will have adjourned b taken. boys on farms who desire to follow the vocation of farming, will soon be made smooth and easy. Providing the bill he has introduced in the house is passed, the farmer's boy will no longer have to follow the plow with calloused feet nor thin the corn with an aching back in order to learn the intricacies of when, where and how to sow and reap. Mr. Chaney’s bill provides for an appropriation of $100,000 to establish “demonstration farms” for the investigation of farm practice and the inauguration of systems of farm management throughout the United States. It is proposed that one of these “example” farms be established in nearly every state, the farms to be operated in the most skillful manner and by the most modern machinery and where the youth of the state who live on farms, can spend a stipulated time receiving instruction and observing the working methods in force, all without the payment of a single penny. Much interest is displayed among navy people and the public generally in the presence of the famous dynamite-throwing ship, the Vesuvius, now at the Washington navy yard. It will be recalled that this vessel was designed shortly before the Spanish-American war, its mission being to throw a projectile of dynamite sufficient to destroy any vessel that it might hit. The first practical test of the ship was in the war with Spain when she was found be a failure, the best she did betry to throw a few shells of dynatake into the harbor of Santiago which chipped off the bows of one harmless merchantmen. The Vesuvius is in Washington to equiped as a torpedo practice up and her first experiment will be determine whether the 21 inch torpedo tubes to be prepared for one of the new battleships will be practicable, the largest size in use present being 18 inches in diame- . The navy department is gratithat some use can be found for the "white elephant" it has long had its hands as the cost of mainning the vessel and having it idle, is eaten up considerable money that could have been used for better purposes. The army regulations being on the subject have been amended so to provide that whenever "The Star Spangled Banner" is played by the band on a formal occasion at a military station, or at any place where persons belonging to a mility service are present in their officical capacity, all officers and enlistmen present shall stand at attention, and if not in the ranks, they will render the prescribed salute, the position of the salute being renued until the last note of the nanal air. It is also provided that the same respect shall be observed ward the national air of any other country when it is played as a comment to official representatives of each country. Whenever "The Star Spangled Banner" is played as con- by Dr. A. D. Hopkins, in charge of forest insect investigations in the bureau of entomology, who recommended that the service push the cutting and disposal of infested timber as the only means of prevent; ing the spread of the beetles through wider and wider areas. To broaden the market for the timber a clause in the agricultural appropriation bill last winter permitted the exportation of timber for two years beyond the borders of South Dakota. But even this has not brought enough or large enough applications to take the timber which should be disposed of. Hitherto the government has waited for a bidder before advertising for competitors. This procedure, through delay, threatens too serious a loss in the waste of trees now infested and in the spread of the beetles to fresh stands. The forest service will now take the initiative and advertise for bidders, in order to draw attention to this timber, which is a menace to the future supply on the reserve. By securing prompt purchasers for the infested logs and standing trees, and destroying the insect broods by firing the bark and slash, it is hoped that the surrounding forests will soon be saved from further insect attack. The timber attacked by the bark beetle has not lost its commercial value. There is no reason why the desired sales should not more than reimburse the government, besides utilizing a vast amount of pine which would otherwise be wasted. Secretary Shaw is becoming nervous over the risk he is running in having fire-proof steel files in such to place the official bonds in treasury, representing penalties regarding almost a billion dollars. Order to avoid subjecting the government to the embarrassment loss that would come from the destruction of paper of such value, secretary has requested of consign an immediate appropriation of 100 for suitable fireproof steel for the safe keeping of these usual bonds of which there are on file some 60,000. About five years ago one steel file provided but that accommodated only 10,000 bonds, the remainder filed in ordinary wooden cases such are always subject to desition by fire. The request of the secretary is imperative and should give prompt attention but by the it passes through the maze of tape at the capitol, congress have adjourned before action is OD TIMBER SOLD CHEAP Check Ravages of Black Hills Beetle Purchasers are sought by Forest Service. it is hoped that the surrounding forests will soon be saved from further insect attack.

County legislators are curious to know how the city and county consolidation commission views the Broughton bill in the senate for the division of the counties. There is an impression that the bill, if enacted, will affect the plans for consolidation. Should it become a law, it would be possible for Los Angeles county to be divided into three or four small counties, with the boundaries of two or three reaching close to the city limits of Los Angeles. The bill is supposed primarily to be in the interest of the proposed new county of San Antonio, with Pomona as the county seat, but it is so broad in its scope that other sections of the county could separate themselves, so long as each had a population of 6000 or more.
