Harvest Hands Are Scarce,

KANSAS CITY, June 26. Wages
have taken a sudden jump from 81 to
81 in several counties In Kansas where
harvest hands are scarce. The south
ern part of the state is at present in a
critical condition, as the crop is ready
for harvesting, with few men to do the
work. The number of men sent from
this city far exceeds those sent from
St. Joseph, Leavenworth, Topeka and
St. Louis, and as the rush is practi'
cally over in these cities, it will be
necessary to telegraph east for at leas,
5000 men. About 1000 men have
been sent from this city and this mum.
Der is less by far than any year since
1898, the railroads have taken most Of
them this year on construction and re.
pair work.
The police so.called "dragnet" ia
working overtime now. Every able.
bodied man caught loating in the north
end is being taken to police head
quarters and told of the urgent need
of harvest hands in Kansas at 1892 a
day and found" Loafers who do not
take the tip given out by the police
will be sent to the workhouse.

Gigantic Bridge Near Lethbrtdge.

CHICAGO, June 81 The Record
Herald says plans have been perfected
by the Canadian Pacific to construct q
bridge near Lethbridge, Alberta,
which will be an engineering marvel
and probably will be ranked as one of
the worlds wonders. The plans call
for a structure slightly more than q
mile long and 300 feet above the water
level. AS compared with other bridges
of the world, the Brooklyn bridge is
no longer, and is moi more than halt
as high. The world famed Tyne
bridge in England, which was built by
Robert Stephenson fifty years ago, is
only half as long and less than half
the height.
The Canadian Pacific bridge will
span the Belly river and is to be built
for the purpose of shortening and
strengthening the route between Leth.
bridge and Mcleod. The grade of the
new line will be much easier and heavy
loads can be carried at less cost. The
work will be commenced at once.

Want Millions For Irrigation.

BOISE, Idaho, June 26.-It has been
determined to designate the meeting of
the national irrigation congress, to be
held In Boise in September, as 1.-THE
Hundred Million Dollar Congress-
In other words, agitation is then to
be started to secure a direct appro.
priasion OF 800, 00O, 900 from congress
to supplement the reclaim alton fund.
This has been determined upon after
consultation with many of those who
are leaders in the work of congress.
The present fund is compar atively
small, as compared with the number
OF available projects. 1t is swelled
only by the land sales and by the pay.
ment in ten.year installments BY farm.
ers OF the cost OF construction of works.
The success attained is so great that
1t Is felt the fund available for the
purpose should be expended SO the
work OF opening arid land as homes
for the people could be accelerated.

BLACkFEET BILL DELAYED.
PRESIDENT Objects to Provisions Relating
To Water Rights For Indians.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Black.
feet reservation bill received its qui.
etus today when the president declared
the o amendments vicious and
announced his intention to veto the
bill unless remedied. The bill is dead
90 far as this session 10 concerned.
Today President Roosevelt sent for
Senator Carter and Representative
Dixon to 60 to the white house. At
the conference he said that he had
read the bill as it passed the house
n as amended by the senate, and
that while he would gladly have signed
the bill as it passed the house. unless
the senate amendment cutting down
the time for the digging of the Indian
bitches from five years, as provided in
the house bill, to two years, as pro.
vided in the senate amendment, and
also the senate amendment regarding
the Conrad ditch, were stricken from
the bill, he would veto it.
He characterized the senate amend.
ment as "vicious Legislation" He
stated to the Montana representatives
that he was in favor Of opening the
reservation, and that If At the next
session of congress q bill should pass
covering the provisions of the present
bill as it passed the house, he would
gladly sign it.
Senator Carter pointed out that un.
der the provisions of the bill the al.
lottees had two years. priority right
over settlers in which to dig bitches
and acquire water for irrigating their
lands: that the proclamation could not
be issued for one and possibly two
years yet, so that in reality they had
from three to four years in which to
acquire water-rights. The Indian Of
flee insisted this was not sufficient
time and that they should be given at
least five years after the issuance OF
the presidential proclamation. The
president took this view of it and in.
formed Senator Carter and Represen.
tative Dixon that this provision must
be eliminated and also the provision
relating to the Conrad ditch.
When the bill passed the house three
weeks ago, Mr.. Dixon succeeded in
getting the Indian Office to agree to a
five-year time limit for digging the
Indian bitches instead of the 25.year
period first asked for by the commits
sioner of Indian affairs. The action
OF the senate in reducing the time to
two years and adding the Conrad ditch
amendment aroused the antagonism of
the Indian Office, resulting in the
presidents action today.
