Men Wanted For Canal Work

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-"W anted
and wanted bad, good men to work on
the irrigation project of the west; good
pay for good men who will work."
This is the kind OF advertisement that
Uncle Sam will have to print in the
papers throughout the country pretty
soon II the shortage of labor continues
about the irrigation enterprises in the
arid lands. The geological survey,
which has a fatherly interest in the
success Of the irrigation work, has
just issued an appeal for help in the
form of a circular letter. which is
given to the press here at the capital.
The circular says in part: "Strange
as 1t may seem, the eight.hour limita-
ton on work is q factor in the labor
er's discomfort. During the long hot
days on the arid plains, the man who
is exercising moderately out in the
sun, with his attention distracted from
the heat, fares much more comfortably
than the one who swelters lazily in the
crowded bunk house with nothing to
think Of but his own discomfort. In
the absence Of all amusements, the
thought Of drink becomes paramount
during those long hours of enforced
idleuess, and in spite Of every reason
able precaution. bad liquor gets into
every camp. Many of the best work.
men insist that, under these condi.
tons, they would prefer to work
longer hours and keep occupied ex.
cept during the time needed for eating
aud sleeping"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The secre.
tary Of the interior has rejected the
two bids received in response to de.

struction Of the Lower Yellowstone
dam in Montana. The grounds for
rejection are that these bids are ma

cations.
Montanans know very little con-
corning the underground resources of
the state, but with the increase in
population there is q growing demand
for information on this subject. 1t is
we'll understood that the discovery of
an artesiau area gives q great i'm.

A careful study of the geological for.
nation by experts means an actual
saving OF many thousands Of dollars
to those who seek for underground
water.
1n.this connection the statement Of
Mr.. N. H. Darton, in charge of the
western division of NEUROLOGY, will be
of interest to the citizens of the state.
Mr.. barton said:
"The geological survey will give
Montana a good deal OF attention next
summer. Mr.. c. E. Siebenthal, one
OF the underground water experts, will
prepare q report on the Sun river
country. which appears to have i'm.
portant artesian prospects. He will
begin about July l and his report will
be ready in about a year. Mr.. c. A.
Fisher, another expert, is to explore
a portion of the southeast corner of
the state in the Prior mountains. and
the northern end of the Big Hole basin
for artesian prospects, coal and oil
fields. A careful study will be made

FORMER ORDER REVOKED
Telegram Received From Secretary
Shaw Stating That the Marine Hos
pitaI is to Remain Open.

A telegram was on yesterday re-
ceived by DR.. Goodwin, who is in charge
of the marine hospital in this city,
from Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
revoking his former order to discon-
tinue the hospital in this city on the
30th of June.
This settles the matter positively
that the hospital is to remain open and
with the port growing as it is it is no
very probable that the hospital in Will
-mington will be closed. The first news
of the hospital not being closed on
the first of July was received on Tues
day night in an Associated Press dis
patch from Washington INT which was
published in yesterdays paper. The
telegram received yesterday by DIR.
Goodwin confirms the report that the
marine hospital in this city is to re-
main open.
The government owns about thirty
acres of land around the marine hos
pitaI and by the expenditure Of a
small amount of money the grounds
could be greatly beautifed. Now that
it has been definitely decided to keep
the hospital open there may be more
hope Of getting the government to i'm
prove the grounds. The grounds now
are very u~nattractive, and as a mat
ter of fact are nothing more than sand
hills.
