WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-offi-
cials Of the federal irrigation depart
ment, generally known as the reclama-
ton bureau, do not look faverably on
the bill introduced today by Senator
Hansbrough for the creation Of the
office of supervising engineer to have
charge of construction of irrigation
works. The salary. of $4,000 a year
seems to be the main thing about the
bill in the opinion of the officials. The
senator says the purpose is to insure
the safety of irrigation works by
proper supervisor. This is regarded
as rejecting on the government corps
of engineers and the special consult
ing engineers who are hired by them.
IF we are competent and honest
then we ought to be able to build safe
works." said one of the government
engineers, without having our work
supervised by $4,000 official. If we
are not competent we ought to be re-
lieved of our labors at once

Stamford Comp Correspondent New

 For three hours this afternoon Beauty Steel, blue ribbon Boston bulldog, own ed by Dr. Frank Abbott. of New York, member of the Atlantic Cat club and the Connecticut Cat club, was in a dental chair here this afternoon, while Dr. Beardsey cleaned cavities in two lower front teeth, filled them with gold and put on gold crowns
 Beauty Steel is a feroclous looking, compactly built dog, and at first he made a howl over the operation. But the den- tist, by stufhng a towel in his mouth, managed to prevent the animal from closing his jaws, and then had him at his mercy
 The dog soon ceased to struggle and before the operation was half done was as gentle as a kitten. When the towel was removed from his mouth he strutted about snapping his jaws as If proud of his gold teethM
 'It was my first experience filling a dogs teeth" said Dr Beardsley T knew Beauty's temperament l didn't feel it necessary to administer anaesthet- ics to call on a veterinary for aid. Had l not known the dog well l would not have taken such a chance. The ob- ject, of course, is the same for whcih human beings teeth are filled. Besides there is an element of danger from a dogs biteiif any of his teeth are decayed. With theJcavlties filled this danger is re- moved"
