WASHINGTON WOMEN NOT
IN LINE FOR PROMOTION
Government Employees of Center
Sex to Get Only Secondary
Consideration.
special to u. Indianapolls Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May H.-Great excite
ment prevails among the feminine contin-
gent In the executive departments. While
no formal order has been issued on the sub
ject. the word has gone forth that in max
ing promotions women shall be given only
secondary consideration. In one depart
ment it has been decided that no woman
who is receiving 1920 a year shall be given
any more. Those who get $1.4OO will be
lucky If they are not reduced. Women who
are paid 500 year and less will be given
promotions, but in the department under
consideration IL has been practically de-
cfded that the maximum for women shall
be 1920 year If it is possible for the Off
Gals 10 follow out such q programme.
The discrimination proposed against
women Is bound TO precipitate trouble The
women In the departments can create more
excitement in less time than the men, and
they are particularly sensitive on the sub
jet OF promotions. Il am getting 400 a
year. said a bright young woman in the
fostofflco Department tonight I want
Q.6oo- / know that I am getting all I
am entitled to- but somebody's got to get
tne promotion, and l might just as well
have II as anyone else" The rule adopted
by Captain McCurdy, OF Minnesota, the new
auditor for the Postoffice Department, now
known as the famous order issued by tho
Minnesota man the day he was sworn
IN. has worked SO successfully that ii may
be adopted in other departments. This
order IS to the effect that II any clerk has
anything TO say on the subject of promo
lions he must submit it in writing, and
that under no circumstances will clerk
be permitted to personally interview the
head OF the bureau This rule Is severely
condemned by the women, who believe that
q little eloquence does as much as a good
record IN securing promotions.

the DEFICIT IN THE
UNITED STATES TREASURY

The report of the United States
Treasurer for the fiscal year shows a
deficiency exceeding forty-one million
dollars; that is, that we as people have
spent that much more than we have
taken in. If we did not have to pay the
French company for its interest in the
Panama Canal and few other extras
we would have been ON the right side
of the ledger by a few millions, but the
fact is that the revenue has been falling
off, while the expenditure has been
growing. And there must be many
years when it will be the same way.
When our surplus is gone we shall have
to increase import and internal revenue
duties, or borrow, or perhaps levy an
income tax. We could retrench, but
be assured we will not, no matter who
is in office.-The Investor in the San
Francisco Wasp.

Salt Lake Railroad Will Open Up a
Splendid Country.

James A. Denton of Calientes, Lin.
coin County, while in Salt Lake recently
discussed the building of the San Pedro.
Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, says
the Herald. He said:
1.-The road has been built 81 miles be-
yond Calientes. 1t is 20 miles south of
the Muddy river, on which there are a
number of good settlements, and it is
within 2S miles of Las Vegas. which it
will reach by Sept. 1. The grading to
Las Vegas is practically completed, and
the rails will be laid without delay.
Las Vegas is lovely place. 1t is a
charming oasis in the desert, and there
is plenty of water there for farming and
every other purpose.
"Calientes has many natural advan-
tages as a town. 1t is surrounded by
mines, ranches and ranges, and will
make fine railroad divisi on point. 1t
is 1856 miles south of Salt Lake and Ala
miles north of Los Angeles. Many
people are coming there and establish
ing homes. The country is well irri-
gated. there being plenty of water.
Phoebe, the county seat, from which
the Phoebe branch is being built, is 30
miles north of Calientes. In Moapa, at
the head Of the Muddy, where the rail-
road crosses that stream, boom is on,
and town lots are selling at the rate of
% week
Nearly everything that can be
raised in the tropics can be raised at
Calientes and vicinity. Some of the
farmers are raising cotton, while many
others are engaged in raising figs, ap-
ricots, grapes. pomegranates and other
fruits. We get five crops a year
OF alfalfa, which is worth $15 a
ton. The yield is about one and half
tons to the acre. The cotton raised in
the valley took the premium at the
Worlds Fair at Philadelphia in 1876
'The building of the San Pedro road
has done our part of Nevada, the east
ern part, great deal of good, and when
it is opened for traffic from Los Angeles
to Salt Lake, the country will settle up
much faster than it is now doing, al
though there has been good increase
in population. The road is bound to be
of great benefit to Salt Lake"

To Divert Tahoe's Waters.

1t is reported that California repre-
sentatives in Washington have an-
nounced their intention to endeavor to
enlist Federal aid in the movement to
pipe water from Lake Tahoe to San
Francisco, Oakland and other bay cities.
Lake Tahoe is situated on the Nevada
California line, and the farmers of the
Truckee Meadows, in Washoe County
depend solely upon the waters of the
Truckee for irrigating purposes. With
the big cities of California also drawing
upon the lake, the large body of water
would be reduced far below its present
eastern outlet. and in few years the
western side of the lake would be the
only outlet, thus completely shutting off
Nevada. The people of this State
have repeatedly expressed themselves
as strongly opposed to the "big Califor-
MIA City water project" and a petition
will be presented to the Nevada Repre-
sentatives in Congress this Winter pro-
testing against Federal assistance iii

Nevada.

FOR TREATING REBELLIOUs ORE
New Method of COLONIZATION for Ex-
tracing Gold and Silver.

A new process for treating rebellious
ores and extracting their gold and silver
has been discovered by M. vagouny, an
assistant in the chemistry department Of
the University of California at Berke-
ley. If this process should prove COM
mercial and practical success it means
a saving of millions to the mining in
dustry. Mr.. vagouny says his process
will be especially valuable in the ex.
ploitation of silver mines.
"Like the cyaniding process, said Mr..
