CONTRACT FOR DAM TO BE LET
Engineers of Irrisation work Go
90 belle FohrcAS octo-
her R6.
From a stan Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, oct. n.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-On October 26 the board of consult
ing engineers of the reclamation service
will meet at Belle Fourche. s. D., to con-
slider proposals for the construction of one
OF the most stupendous pieces of work yet
planned by that bureau-the construction
of a great earth dam which will create
the impounding reservoir OF the Belle
Fourche project and seventeen and one
half miles of canals through which It is
/ hoped to distribute water to about 10000
acres OF land in 1906 The dam will be one
OF the largest earth embankments in the
world. 1t will be 100 feet high in the high
est place. one mile long with a top width
OF twenty feet and will be completely paved
with stone TO a depth of eighteen inches.
The work. for which bids will be opened
on October 26, is located twelve miles north
east of Belle Fourche. In involves about
100000 cubic yards OF earthwork, 5000 cubic
yards OF rock excavation, 1900 cubic yards
OF concrete masonry and 1900 pounds OF
steel and castiron.
Especial interest attaches to this project,
not alone from the fact that the agricul-
tural industry of the state will receive a
tremendous impetus, but because II will
make possible the fullest utilization OF
other resources. The development OF the
Black Hills mines has been retarded from
/ the first by the excessive cost Of all food
supplies, as successful farming in the vicin-
| fly is impossible without irrigation.
The Belle Fourche valley is one of the
largest cattle shipping points In the coun-
/ try. but owing to lack OF winter feed the
cattle grade low and fail TO bring tile best
/ prices. With assured crops OF hay and
/ other feed, Tanchmen can greatly increase
! their herds At present the value OF land
/ in this vicinity ranges from s. to SO pei
acre. With proper irrigation It is esti
mated that land will easily be worth s7I
per acre thus increasing by about 5000 OO
the value OF taxable land alone. The Bur
lington is expected to extend its line intC
this territory and there is a strong aossi
bility that one Of the largest trunk line.
from Minneapolis and st, Paul will run int,
the valley.
Albert M. Strong has been appointed reg

the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. The

the castle. Then as many of the royal
guests and their suites, as could be given
space went to the little chapel upstairs,
where the religious rite was performed. A

large crowds OF the brides and groom r

Referred to Department
of Justice.

WASHINGTON, oct 1.-THE charge Of
soliciting and accepting campaign contrtbu-
tions in the campaign of 1902 made against
United States Circuit Judge Baker of In
diana by the Civil Service commission has
been referred TO the Department OF Justice
by the commission.
In connection with the reference the conn
mission gave out an onlcial statement OF
the caSe In which Il was said -s'the statute
of limitation is the only defense which can
be opposed to the charge"
The commission statement in part said
The Civil Service commission, through
Commissioners Greene, conducted an ex-
animation on the 22d and 23d of September
1900, into charge of a violation of the
legal assessments al Goshen. md. In the
course of this investigation Guy c. Boul-
ton, clerk in the postoffice at Goshen
testified that he was told in the fall Of
1902 by the assistant postmaster, Alderman
TO visit Hon, Francis f. Baker, Judge OF
the United States circuit court of appeals
for the Seventh district; that he was sent
during oftice hours to see Judge Baker;
that upon his visiting him he was told by
Judge Baker that 1t was to his interest to
Keep in power the servant of the party to
which witness (Boulton) owed his appoint
ment; and that even IL witness was in the
civil service, his superior would give him
trouble In case of a change OF administra-
ton. He was also told that Judge Baker
paid literally himself for political pur-
poses ana that clerks In the service usually
gave per cent of their salary. with other
statements along the same line In pur-
suance OF these suggestions from Judge
Baker Boulton afterward paid 5 per cent
of his salary, being $50, to ID. w. Neidig.

clerks in the Goshen postoffice gave similar
testimony.
This testimony was presented to Judge
Baker and, without going into the details
of conversation, the facts stated by the
above witnesses were admitted by him 10
be true. The Civil Service commission has
felt some hesitation in taking any action
in the premises, but it is felt by the COM
mission that, inasmuch as violations by
others of the civil service act occurring in
the Goshen postoffice are TO be proceeded
against and punished. IL is not right that
a distinction should be made in favor OF a
Violator OF the law, however exalted his
