WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Fcw departments
Of the public service have been more rife with
petty intrigue and cnbals than the three orgnni-
cations occupied with the Government surveys
in tho West. geological and geographical and
currently known MS the Wheeler, Hayden and
Powell surveys. Tho first is in the hnnds of
army engineers. and tho last two are conducted
by civilians in tho employment Of the Interior
Department. Following tho usual traditions OF
the service. the army engineers have endcavor-
cd to ignore the work Of the civilian explorers
altogether, have duplicated their surveys. AMI
issued volumes prepared in the most costly
style. Eyory year these surveys come before
Congress for IN appropriation. and every year

arnte and disconnected surveys become palmer

to the army engineers IL TO turn the whole

greatly enhance the value of all these
farms by giving the farmers egress and
ingress with their products and mer-
chandise. 1t would also greatly in
crease the permanent population and
add many thousands to the taxable
property Of the county. There are still
many thousand acres Of first-class bot
tom lands vacant in these valleys for
