Bloomsburg, Pa. THURSDAY, APKIL 1 1, 1901. THE DISTRICT CHANGED- The New Congressional Apportionment Bill Is Somewhat Modified This District One of Those Changed From the Original Draft. The Grady Congressional Ap portionment Bill which has passed the senate and has been favorably reported in the house, has under gone some radical changes in the committee. The districts affected are the t6th, 17th. 1 8th. 19th, 20th and 2 1 st. The district that inter ests the people of this and adjoining couuties is the eighteenth. Under the new proposition it will be com posed of the counties of Northum berland, Columbia, Montour, Union and Snyder counties. At the pres idential election last fall the district gave McKinley 17,952 votes and Bryan 17,514. MacDintj'g Chance- The Quay machine has a chance to prove that it is not urging the Fox capitol bill through the legis lature for any other purpose than to secure a building that will be a credit to the state, at a minimum cost. Senator Flinn has tried to amend the bill by the substitution of four business men for the four politicians who, with Governor Stone, are named as the members of the commission. These are Auditor General-elect Hardenburg. Treasurer Baruett, President Pro Tem. Snyder and Speaker Mar shall. Mr. Flinn has failed. The macnine senate rejected his amend ment. When it is a matter of building poli'ical fences no doubt any or all of the gentlemen named are amply . endowed w'th the requisite qualities to make the job .a success, but in the construction of a capitol we submit that something more is demanded. Witness the apology . for a capitol the state now has, built by just such a political commission us is proposed by the Fox bill. Let Mr. Fox strike out of his bill the four names mentioned and in- sert those ot four reputable business men of some experience in the work they will have to do they need not be the men namad by Mr.Flinn but any level-headea, Experienced men who do not follow politics as a livelihood, and the public will be more ready to accept the professions of good faith which we hear from weak-kneed organs concerning the new structure.

They were employed by the Greene Consolidated Copper Com pany and had interded remaining for several months longer, but the latter's health became impaired by the great climatic changes to such an extent that his father thought it best to bring him home. Mr. Steadman is un decided about returning. Their de scription of the country, and the pos sessions of the Copper Company is quite inlersting, especially to the stockholders of the oiganization. The week before the Steadmans left lor home about one hundred thousand dollars worth of ore was taken out. The work, Mr. Steadman says, is hindered on account of the railroad being so far away from the mines. To meet this contingency and to facilitate the mining the Company has decided to build a railroad, work on which has already been com menced. The mines are located at Cananea, Sonora County.
