CIVIL ENGINEERS AT WORK
Engineer Briggs Returns from Doumack and
Joseph Plains Engineer Ogden Prepares
to Open Channel Of Snake.


Edson R. Briggs returned yesterday
from his work on the Doumacq and
Joseph plains between Salmon and Snake
rivers. He has been absent sixty days
on this trip and has done an immense
amount of surveying for the United
States government Mr. Briggs states
that most of the country is rough and
only suitable for grazing purposes but
there are also a large number of fine
grain and fruit farms hidden away in the
hills. The whistle of the steamer
Imnaha seemed to give a new impulse to
that section where no agricultural pursu
could have possibly been followed out
side of stock raising had not this timely
means of transportation been furnished.
AS 1t is large numbers Of home seekers
followed the surveyors and fled ON
choice quarter sections. All of the work
Mr.. Briggs has in this new country IL
not finished aud he will return after
looking after some county work to close
his contract there.
The settlers who have sqnatted on
tracts were oveIioyed to know where
their land is and the surveying crew met
with smiles likened to those Of the men
who leave the land Office on the dual
proof day, feeling that they are I6o acres
richer than they were the evening before.
United States Engineer Dowd B.
Ogden OF Portland arrived last night and
today is busily engaged In preparing his
outti. to 60 up the Snake river and blast
out the large rock at Sheep Camp rapids.
The crew will consist of q cook and four
workmen and the, work will be done
under the supervision of Steward
Winslow who is well acquainted with
the bed of the Snake above Lewis ON.
The steamer Ininaha will devote her
next trip to hau ing blasting material to
the points where Capt. Baughman thinks
It is needed most and no passengers will
be carried on this trip A scow win be
bniit here that can be anchored off the
big rocks to be blasted from the river.
This scow will be fitted with comforts
for the workmen.
There was $a5,ooo appropriated by the
last congress to improve the upper river
channel but on account Of the takiag Of
$4,000 from this sum for the purpose or
building large steel dredging boat for
permanent improvements there ID hut
$1,000 left that is available for present
use. Capt. Baughman says that the en-
tire $4,000 would have placed the river
in excellent conditions for navigation but
the $1,000 can be used to good advantage.
The Lewiston Southern Navigation COM
pany has placed the Imnaha at the ser.
vice of the engineers and the work will
be done as cheaply and as speedily as
possible in order that regular boat
schedule can be. maintained the year
round to supply the demand made by
this growing section for freight and
passenger transportation.

Glencove, May 21 .--E Early this forenoon
the waters Of the Sound were smooth as a
mill pond and no breeze was blowing, but
the wind picked up little shortly after
ten o'clock, coming in light, streaky putfs
from the northwest. 1t was anything but
an ideal day for yacht race, however,
and unless the wind strengthens the race
between the Columbia and Reliance win
be little more than a drifting match.
The preliminary gun was fired at l145,
but ten minutes later the committee boat
signalled that the start would be postponed
until later there being scarcely any
breeze
AS the yachts sailed to and fro near the
line after the preliminary gun had been
fired it was noticed the Columbia moved
more briskly In light air than the Rell-
auee. As the two yachts came near each
other the Reliance with her immense high
rig lowered far above the Columbia.
About score Of large steam yachts ar
rived at the starting line by twelve-thirty
and about two hundred large sailing
yachts and all sorts Of smaller craft.
Shortly before one the wind shifted to
southwest 1t was steadier than before,
but remained a mere zephyr

TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN
Albert Rodisr Identified Beyond Rea.
sonable Doubt BY Montreal
Chief Of Detectives.

st. Albans, May 20. - Albert
Rodier, alias Armand Voyer the
suspect being held in the county Jail for
the Summerskill burglary, and who is al.
so wanted in st. Johnsbury on charge OF
burglary, a warrant from that town now
being In possession Of Sheriff b. F. Kelley
for his apprehension should he Succeed in
obtaining bail, has been identified beyond
the shadow Of doubt as Armand Voyer,
who is out Of the St. Vincent de Paul pen
intentiary in Montreal on a tieket-of
leave. Sheriff Kelley's prompt action in
having Rodier or Voyer photographed de-
spite his strenuous objections has already
resulted in this Identification Today
Sheriff Kelley received letter from Silas
II. Carpenter, chief of detectives Of Mon
tTeal, enclosing a photograph of Yoyer
which settles his identity beyond dispute
Chief Carpenters action was caused by
his seeing cut OF Voyer in la Presse,
which was made from the photograph
Sheriff Kelley caused to be taken.
ROdier's number In the Montreal rogues
gallery is 3,S14; Enclosed with this pho
tograph was another Of ''palp Of Voyer's
who may have been operating here with
him or in this section. Sheriff Kelley has
received telegram from Colonel Sher-
wood, the commissioner of police to whom
Yoyer was supposed to report, asking that
the prisoner be delivered to him for recon-
mitmeDt 10 the penitentlary If he cannot
be convicted here, aud that, in any event,
he be returned to the Canadian authori-
ties when his term Of Imprisonment shall
be finished here This may explain Rod
lier's strong resistance when his photo
graph was being secured.
