ers iii the immediate future. The set
tlement with the dredge engineers and
firefnen indicates that there is no de-
sire to run "open shop, next season,
It has been limited that all large en-
ployers would make a fight for "opep
shop in the future. So far nothing
has occurred to arouse the fears OF
organized labor in marine circles in
| this direction.
1t is expected that a conference will
be held with the representatives of the
Great Lakes Towing company early
in March. Captain Smith of Buffalo,
the new president Of the tug trust as
sumes office on March 1st.. so that no
date for the conference will be given
| out until that date.
Mr.. Walsh held a conference with
Capt. Smith recently, and it was
agreed between them that they would
| arrange a date Immediately after the
| new officers take their seats. Mr..
| Walsh feels positive that no trouble
| will be experienced in coming to an
agreement with the Great Lakes Of
ficials this year.
There is no trouble at any of the
ports, except at Cleveland which has
! been submitted to arbitration. A de-
| cision is expected at any time.
All minor differences left over from
| last year have been settled by Mr.
Colby and Mr.. Walsh, so that the as
sociation starts in this year with ev-
| erything cleaned UP.
! Mr.. Walsh believes that there is a
better feeling in the east now than
| there was some weeks ago. Business
looks brighter, and there appears to
be a greater demand for steel.
Marine Labor Notes.
Things do not look very rosy for
licensed men on outside craft for the
season Of 1904. It is feared that con-
siderable trouble will be experienced
in bringing about an agreement In
deed it is matter of grave doubt IL
anything but individual agreements
will be made.
The seamen's union has not been
able to patch up it's difference with the
Lake Carriers Association as Of vet. :.
T. J. Dolan and Jas. O'Neill were
the first labor officials along the chain
of lakes to be sent away happy this
year. OF course they deal with. the
dredge owners exclusively, which made
1t. decidedly easy for them to get sto-7
gether. According to their agreements
dredge engineers: will secure a mater

firemen will receive $50 a month, as

PRESIDENT WALSH BRINGS ASSUR.
ANCE OF PEACE AND
GOOD WILL.
No Need of Feeling Alarmed About the

That all Differences Will be Ad.
justed. Dredgemen get Their Scale
Signed. Tug Companies VIII Keep
Closed Shop. This Much Assured.

II believe that before navigation
opens this spring every difference be-
tween the L. T. P. A., and the tug
and dredge owners will be amicably
adjusted" So spoke James Walsh,
grand president of the Licensed Tug
mems Protective Association to
representative of the Labor World this
week.
Mr.. Walsh returned home late Satur-
day after an absence Of five weeks.
Last year he was first vice president
OF the tugmen. At the last convention
of the association he was promoted to
the presidency. Since his election he
has been on the move continually. This
is the time of year when all agree,
ments between the unions and the en-
ployers in maritime work are made.
The Licensed Tugmen's Protective
Association has jurisdiction over all
licensed men on all tugs, or boats
classed as tugs. It's two most i'm
p0rtant factors to deal with are the
Dredge Owners Protective Association,
and the Great Lakes Towing and
Wrecking company. Whenever agree
ments can be made with these, no fear
is felt for the peace of it's members.
for all other employers usually fall in
line with them. On account of the
expected dearth in business this seas
on considerable uneasiness has been
felt all along the line. Some men who
think they know have freely expressed
the opinion that there would be gen.
eral dissatisfaction next season among
all the maritime organizations Of both
the employers and employees. President
Walsh, however, brings the assurance
that there is no ground for fear. So
far as he has been able to ascertain
the best of feeling prevails.
At a conference held two weeks ago
in Detroit, between the dredge owners
and the officials of the union no agree
ment was reached, but every thing in
dicated that further consideration on
the part of the owners will bring about
a favorable adjustment. The dredge
engineers and cranesmen, and the
dredge firemen and scowmen have
closed their contracts with the dredge-
owners, but they. are both dependent
upon a. favorable. settlement with the

The greatest defect OF the rural
telephone line with several families
on It, has always been that every
time any body on the line rang up,
all the other people on the line ran
and took down their receivers to

being remcdied in some localities
by what Is called the ''sclectivc''

A DEMOCRATS OPINlON.

It was wrong In Governor Dock
cry to that boodling hasn't
cost the people anything, says the
Cole County Democrat, remarking
upon some OF the efforts by the
Governor Of late to explain him
self out Of a bad predicament.
True enough. they didn't take the
money out Of the state treasury,
that's the only difference.
Every dollar that Is expended
for political corruption comes out
OF the pockets Of the people. Gov
ernor Dockery says the boodlcrs
bled only the corporations, etc.
But who pays for 1t In the endY
The people must pay for II all.
Every dollar that a corporation
must put up in order to corrupt a
legislature, a politician, "A conven-
tion or a court, must ultimately
come from the pockets Of the pco-
pie. The consumer pays the tax.
The people pay for 1t all in the
end, and they pay for 1t many
times over.
And this Is one Of the strongest
reasons why political corruption
should be wiped out of Missouri,
In no far as the influence OF a gov
crnor can wipeit out. We
do not wonder that the present
governor has mol been more sue
cessful In thwartiDg the corrupt
%ionist. Something more than a
"watch dog Of the treasury" is re-
quired. We want n man who will
vigilnntly guard the rights OF the
people, and will not sit by and
wait for the boodlcrs to loot the
treasury itself. We want n man
In the governors ohice who will
make 1t his first supreme duty to
check and thwart and uproot the
plundercrs Of the commonwealth
who have been lcvying tribute up
ON tho pockets Of the people
through tho medium Of the soul
less, bloodbuying corporation and
It's conscienceless and corrupted
agents. This Ii why we .
are everlastingly and c~tcrnally
opposed to any man who will go
into that high office with the badge
|, OF Butler on his breast and the
mark OF Satan's finger on his
, heart. That IN us. We who are
on the firing line propose to stay
, there. We know what we are
| talking about and We mean busi-
ness.
r The people are tired, heartily
, sick and tired of paying tribute to
corruption in any shape or form,

any longer. This IL the thought

Piping the Malad

The Pocatello Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent, under date of
January 5, has this to say of the
big irrigation enterprise at Glenn's
Ferry, about which so much has
been said and written in the past,
but which contains some very in
teresting date heretofore unpub-
lished
The application by the state of
Idaho on behalf of the Glenn's
Ferry Land e. Irrigation Company,
Ltd, requesting the segregation OF
some $4,000 acres in township 5
and 6 s., ranges 8 to Is E., located
in the HALEY and Boise land dis
tricts, Idaho, is receiving the con-
sideratiop of the Interior Depart
ment. The project is an extremely
interesting one, involving some rath-
er novel features of engineering, II
is proposed to divert the water OF
the Malad river at the point about
two miles above its mouth, and
conduct it across the Snake river
into the lands, the segregation o.
which is desired. The source oil
water supply is from large springs
which have practically uniform
discharge throughout the year O
900 second feet. These springs
appear only a short distance above
the point of diversion and issue
out of the rock at the bottom of 1
| deep canyon. The water from these
sources cannot be diverted by gray
ity onto any other lands in THU
vicinity, and for this reason it
utilization on these lands can neve
in any way interfere with any othe
irrigation development which ma.
depend ON the use of the water Q

the proposed canal where it crosses
Snake river, go if this water be not
used upon these lands it cannot be
used upon any other lands lower
down the valley. This is the only
diversion that has ever been at
tempted from this river. The pro
position is to divert $50 second feet
for the purpose of irrigating these
lands, thus leaving more than 500
feet of surplus flowing in the stream
during its lowest stage, to which no
claim at present exists, making this
water right for these lands one Of
the very best Most of the lands
embraced within the area sought to
be segregated are quite rolling, and
out of the total area of $4,000 acres
perhaps not more than ten or twelve
thousand will ever be reclaimed.
These lands are situated, however,
in the midst of a vast range, and
their development will be surround
ed by conditions which will give
them great value, The novel engi-
neerng feature which exists in con
neotion with this project is the
carrying of the water across Snake
river. 1t is proposed to conduct
the water across this river by means
f two redwood pipes, each AZ inches
in diameter, to be supported OF
cables. These pipe lines will eacf
have a length of about 500 feet
The obstruction of this canal vii
cost, it is estimated, about SIS PEI
acre, and from $50, 900 to 100000
have already been expended.
The scheme is described by pro
minent engineers as possessing con
siderable merit There is no doub
that its successful completion viii

cources of this section of Idaho
