DOUKHOBOR COLONY MAY co NORTH

John l.. Loaf who is in Seattle as Il
representative of the Doukhobors Of
the Northwest Canadian territories
looking for place to locate colony
of his people on the Pacific coast held
a conference this morning with Pub
licity Agent Batwell of the Alaska
Central railroad on the subject of the
opportunities offered them along the
line of the railroad in Alaska, says the
Seattle Jews.
Officials of the railroad are inclined
to look with favor ON tho proposal Of
the peculiar people in question to To-
cate in their territory provided that
can be done with the consent of the
government officials of this country.
The proposal made to the railroad
officials by Mr.. Loaf is thai 200 or 300
of his people, all able bodied men and
experienced railroad laborers, shall
form a pioneering party and go north
TO work ON the railroad. expecting to
induce additional thousands of their
people to follow them within few
years II the country is found suitable
for their settlement
The one concession which Mr.. Loaf
asks from the railroad people for his
people who enter their employ is that
they be permitted to work in camps
separate ana Independent from other
laborers. He asks this, he says, for
the reason that in most railroad camps
the workers are given to drinking,
carousing and fast living. habits which
the Doukhobors do not practice, and
which are offensive to them.
The Doukhobors had some expert
ence on the Canadian Pacific working
in camps with other wurkmen and
Mr.. Loaf says the other workmen irri-
tated them in many ways, pouring
whiskey in their tea, putting soap in
their soup and other like pleasantries.

the conference. MANY of our men
are experienced railroad laborers and
mechanics in many different lines.

CHECK RUNAWAY RIVER.
Competent Engineers Believe They

Sea.

Can Divert Water From Salton
Sea.
Competent engineers who have
undertaken to return the runaway
Colorado river to its original channel
and check the rise of the Salton sea,
problem, says a Los Angeles dis
patch.
The building of four dams and the
cutting out of two canals will be nee
essary to subdue the stream which
has inundated so great a section of
country and which has compelled the
Southern Pacific to build four diff
ferent spur lines around the advanc-
ing flood.
The break is a few miles south of
the Mexican line. Just below the
break. strong bar has formed In the
old channel, making the return of
the stream to its old way doubly diff
ficult. First dam will be built at
spot selected to one side of the
present current. Then, canal will
lead the current to a desired point
where it will be held in check by
this dam.
A dam will then be built at the
point now in the direct path of the
stream, and the waters will again be
returned to their present course. This
is expected to raise the level of the
stream sufficiently to send the
waters over the newly formed channel
in the main newly formed bar in the
main channel and the current will
soon remove the accumulated silt.
When the river is thus returned to
its old course the two dams and a
strong steel and cement headgate will
be built at a selected point north of
the International line, which will be
the permanent waterway for the ir-
rigation system of the Imperial val
ley.
Conditions are particularly favora-
hle to this work just now, as the vol
ume of water in the river is less than
half what it was last year at this
time.
