Ehrmann-Herning & Co.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—There
is much disgruntlement among demo
cratic members of the house of repre
sentatives, now in Washington, over
the report that President Wilson, in
the event the republicans are found to
have gained control of the next house
of representatives, will keep congress
busy during the short session, clearing
up purely administration measures, to
the exclusion of other business.
The essential work which congress
must conclude during the short ses
sion if a special session next spring
is to be avoided, is the passage of all
the regular appropriation bills for
continuing the work of the govern
ment. If any of these bills fail of pas
sage before March 4 then an extra ses
sion will have to be called. And it had
been the desire, as well as the pur
pose, of the house leaders to push ap
propriation bills to the exclusion of
everything else.
Control Carries Patronage.
From the standpoint of democratic
congressmen there is a highly im
portant reason why they do not want
an extra session of congress next
spring if the new house is to be re
publican. Control of the house carries
with it an immense amount of patron
age; it also carries with it committee
chairmanships and committee assign
ments.
If the next house is republican the
patronage will be turned over to the
republican majority as soon as the
new house organizes. Therefore, if a
special session should be called and
the house be republican, all democratic
patronage would be cut off as soon as
the house organized and every demo
cratic office holder now on the house
payroll would be chopped off. Like
wise, all chairmen of committees
would be retired and be succeeded by
republicans.
But if the next house is republican,
and no extra session is called, the
democratic patronage will continue
until the first Monday in December.
Changes Are Frequent.
It may be a week or more before it
is known definitely how the new house
will be organized. Changes are oc
curring constantly; there are five inde
pendents and one prohibitionist, in ad
dition to the avowed republicans and
democrats, and these six members,
more than likely, will have the deter
mining say as to which party shall or
ganize the new house, though it may
develop later that their votes will not
be deciding.
Should it be found when the cor
rected returns are all in, that the re
publicans of their own strength or by
sure combinations with independent
members can and will control, then it
is certain that the president must
force through, at the short session, all
partisan legislation which he hopes to
see enacted for the next two years. If
he does that he must sacrifice some
of the appropriation bills, and if ap
propriation < bills are sidetracked for
administration legislation, congress
must be called in extra session to pass
the remaining appropriation bills.
Appropriations Not in Danger.
Of course the president can ask even
a republican house to pass appropria
tion bills, for they are necessary for
the conduct of the government, and,
while a republican house might dif
fer somewhat with the administration
as to what appropriations should be
passed, even so a republican house
would aid the senate in providing suf
ficient money to keep the government
running, for there is, generally speak
ing,no partisan division over neces
sary appropriations. But that is as
far as a republican house would go in
aiding the administration; it would
call a halt on partisan measures.
Until it is definitely known how the
new house will divide, and which party
will control the president will not de
termine or announce his legislative
plans for the coining short session.
The two young ladies who manage
the Two Girls Cafe are preparing to
give the kiddies of Anchorage a treat
that will forever make them strong
favorites with this interesting and lov
able part of the world. Starting next
Saturday afternoon the Two Girls will
give a present to every chid in Anchor
age between the ages of & and 10
years. The present will be appropri
ate and it iB needless to say that the
generosity of the management and the
space room of the cafe yill be taxed
to the utmost, for every child in An
chorage who can qualify will be there.
There will also be other plgpnnnt feat
ures in connection with the affair.
See Bartholf for that new harness.

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pay ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before pure basing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
we'Kht. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of 325 pounds each and drop
tit 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be increased very easily by placing springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow be increased witli additional
weights, which we furnish when necej-sary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 poululs, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces,
screens easily removed—the whole front and back can be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can be easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mil! is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are O K. We can
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing apd jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed jp another
small mill and this pulp run Over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY,
West Tacoma
