Mrs. M, Z. DeGeer called to-day with
her daughter, Mrs, Kate B, Russell, her
successor in the publication of the

five miles from Garden City, and after
building their own claim houses brought
in q large colonization of wealthy
and influential men and women. In
the early spring she started the first
paper in the county, built the first hotel
and opened the first law Office. The re-.
suit OF this woman's labors, assisted by
her daughters, is that beautiful young
city now stands where her claim-house
stood year ago of 800 inhabitants,
with dozens coming in each day and the
whole country nearly settled. Mrs.
DeGeer, to meet the demand of her
many friends in the East, has now
placed her paper in the hands of one
daughter, Mrs. Russell, and her land
and real estate business in the hands of
another daughter, Mrs. Eastman, and
has opened new land and law office
in Syracuse, on the Santa Fe Railroad,
south of Greedy County, bordering on
Colorado, where she has organized a
town company for the purpose of estab-
fishing towns in that county. As in
Scott County, she built the first house

Bulgarian Stolidity.

"It is altogether remarkable" writes a
war correspondent, chow patiently the Bull
garians bear their hardships and with what
busness-like devotion they execute orders
which impose upon them the utmost per-
sonal sacrifice. Foreigners fresh to the
country are amazed at the quiet way in
which the Bulgarians take the news alike
of reverses and victories. They were not
cast down by the disastrous news from the
frontier in the early days of the campaign
nor unduly elated when the tide of fortune
turned in their favor. They are first-class
soldiers, and this was never shown better

The Water Works Extension.
FALL OF ROCKS IN THE TUNNEI.-THE WANT
OF FUNDS INCREASING THE COST OF THE
WORK.
Major Lydecker, in his report to the chief of
engineers on the operations for increasing the
water supply of Washington during March,
states that no work was done on the dam at
Great Falls. No work was done towards com.
pleting the tunnel, and operations were limited
to pumping to keep the tunnel free from flood
ing during the suspension OF progressive work
which has continued for two months. a recent
inspection shows that considerable falls of rock
have taken place in the drift from the east
shaft, and in places a gradual crumbling and
slipping of the rock is reported. The liability
ofinjury resulting from these causes will prob
ably increase with the period of suspension of
operations, and the ultimate cost OF the work
Is correspOndingly increased, for every yard
of this falling rock must be removed
and replaced by masonry and stone packing
During April it is expected that in the absence
of funds operations will be substantially the
same during March.
Work on all parts of the reservoir was car
ried on during the month. On the 3Oth and
31st one OF the heaviest rainfalls experienced
since the beginning of the work occurred, the
water accommodating to such an extent that for
seventy-eight hours the 12-inch drain pipe ran
full. 1t is expected to proceed with the work in
all parts during April.
