Preliminary Work Being Done.

The wisdom of the canal management
has been shown In nothing more clearly
than in the way in which the. founda-
tons of the work have been laid To
have yielded to the natural impotence
OF ul-infoFTned outsiders and begun all
kinds of experiments In work prior to
thorough sanitation of the isthmus, and
TO a fairly satisfactory working out of
the problem of getting and keeping
sufficient labor supply, would have been
disastrous, The various preliminary
measures had to be taken first; and
these could not be taken so as to allow
us to begin the real work of construc-
ton prior to January ! of the present
year. 1t then became necessary to have
The type OF the canal decided, and the
only delay has been the necessary delay
until the 18th day of June, the date
when the congress definitely and wisely
settled that we should have an S5-foot

work began in hard earnest and has
been continued with increasing vigor
ever since; and 1t win continue so to
progress M the future. When the con-

Damages.

The county of NeZ Perez has been
trying for ten years TO get the right of
way for a county road across the al
lotments controlled by Red Heart. or
as he is known best by his Indian
name, Sekustim.' said county Surveyor
Edison Briggs yesterday in discussing
the announcement that the matter had
finally been settled.
And anyone who thinks SekuStim
is not onto his job. let him try to deal
with him. \ new stage road has just
been put in between 1lo and Westlake
and it became absolutely necessary to
close this right of way with Sekus-
tim as the road runs directly across his
allotments.
Last week l went out to see him.
His first question was: Why you
come to see me now?
Il told him l was just journeying
across the country.
You want to get county road he
said not TO be turned aside for he
OWNED my business Then he
dicker began He wanted $500 and
began to cut him down till we got to
$3.50.
Il tried him on the poverty act and
told him of the coming hard winter,
and what lot Of supplies could be
said Come here and took me to the
cellar and showed me IS bushels Of po-
tatoes. 1000 pounds OF carrots and tur-
nips and 1000 pounds of dried beef.

I told him that bad white men would
cut his fence and pass through any,

HE then drew receipt showing that
ne had paid a prominent firm OF attor-
neys to defend him in case this came
to a suit.

to settle for 1925 damages. II l would

The Redheart allotments are on the
