AN ARTIFICIAL MOUTH.
VIII Be Made by the Government at
the Mouth of the Usage
River.

District Attorney John r. Walker has
concluded arrangements for the govern
ment with Milo Carterr. of Cole county.

acres of land at the mouth of the Usage
river and the transfer will be made as
soon as the present owner completes the
abstract and is ready to receive the cash.
He Is TO receive 800 per acre for the land.
The government intends to make an arti-
fetal mouth for the Usage river where it
flows into the Missouri, and the channel is
TO be cut through the land that was pur-
chased. AS it is now arranged the Usage
souri, and then flows along the bank of 1t
for several miles, gradually getting closer
until it is merged into the channel. 1t is
proposed to cut a channel and force the
water to proceed directly into the channel
Of the Big Muddy where it first approaches
the bank. To do this and make the work
permanent 1t is proposed to construct a
series Of artificial banks reinforced nv
stone walls and the channel arranged with
jetties so as to start the water right and
force it to cut the channel to the proper
depth. BY doing so the government will
save 10 the farmers more than 30 acres OF
fertile land that is not covered with water
or coated with sand banks. When the
water gets into the legal channel and
leaves the winding path it has so long

matter they will not object to. The work
Will be done from the fund appropriated
by the last congress for the Improvement
OF the Usage river.

The Typothetae of Kansas City, repre-
senting all of the big printing and job Of
fees Of the city, carried out to the letter
its declaration, made nearly a fortnight
ago, and as a consequence every job office
was thrown open to union and ron-union
men alike yesterday morning. This was
the direct result of Typographical Union

the Typothetae and lift the boycott which
the union has had on the Hudson Kimberly

Gerard, member Of the firm, had occa-
sion to go into the composing room. He
noticed that one of the printers was alb
sent and some work assigned to him left
unfinished. on inquiry he learned that
the printer had not been there during the
morning. but was drunk
a few minutes later man applied for a
position The only question asked Of him
was as to his ability to perform a certain
class of work and on his answering that
he was able TO do it. he was put to wo-k
1t developed later that he was a non
union man. and the chairman of the chap
ei waited on Mr.. Gerard, asking for the
mans removal. Mr.. Gerard stated that
his office was row an open office. and If
the man proved good printer. he would
remain in his place. Word was sent TO
the eS ecUtive board of the union OF the
affair. and Immediately o. P. Weakley.
chairman of the board, came to the office.
He was talking with the man when he
was told by n member Of the firm to leave
the office until after working hours. as
the rules OF the office prohibited anyone
from talking with employees while they
were at work. For the rest of the day the
feeling was one OF subdued excitement.
Immediately after s O'Clock last night. A
meeting Of the chapel was called. and rhA
nOu-uniOn printer, the first to work in the
Office for several years. was surrounded
and after half an hours conference. he
Was persuaded 10 ~ out an Application
for membership into the union. The matter
was thus settled. and what looked for a
time as sure indications for a waikout on
the part Of the union men was settled
satisfactorily. Last evening the officers
of the Typographical Union expressed
themselves as dsploring the action Of the
printer in not appearing at his work. thus
endsngering the cause of the union by his
action.
Otherwise the work In the different
Offices progressed as it has at any time
during the past month.
Everything remains as It has for the
past five months, so far as the union is
concerned" said President Guyette. We
are simply pushing the boycott on the
HUDSON Kimberly company harder than
ever. No attention will be paid TO the
opening of the other Offices as long as
none of the union men is discharged for
the purpose of filling their places with
non-union men. We will go ahead at our
work as We always have done. and We
will cause no trouble of any nature to
the employing printers. If any trouble re-
suits it will be caused b. the members
