SCHEME TO RE-
CLAIM 10000 ACRES.

A most interesting statement re-
specting the plan for draining the
low lands along the Kootenai river is
made by Charles G. Reeder of Spo-
kane, who is now in the -Ity to look
after the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Taylor, providing for ex-
panding Of the power of drainage
districts.
Lands along that stream on both
sides of the Canadian boundary are
overflowed from a somewhat peculiar
cause. The river, flowing north,
empties into Kootenai lake in Cana
da. From the lake the water finds an
outlet through what is called the west
arm of the lake which forms a con-
tinuation of the Eootenai river.
In that portion of the river there
are some glacial deposits which mar
row the channel to such an extent
that when the river is in flood above
the water cannot pass out Of the lake
as rapidly as it flows in and conse-
quently the water backs up in the
river above and overflows the land.
The banks of the lake itself are so
abrupt that this backing up is ag-
gravated. The river at Bonner's Fer
ry is about 500 feet wide whereas the
west arm is contracted to $50 at the
points where the deposits are found.
The plan of those who propose to
drain the lands is to cut back those
deposits in the western portion of the
river forming the outlet of the lake.
thus widening the channel and per-
mitting the water to escape. Widened
sufficiently, the river will carry the
water out as rapidly as it is poured
in above.
These deposits are gravel and boul-
ders which can be handled easily with
steam shovels. One is 1900 feet in
length and another 1900. There are
two smaller ones that are mere
tongues Of land extending out into the
channel.
on the American side OF the line
tributary to Bonner's Ferry there is
some 10000 acres Of land needing
drainage, and on the Canadian side
about half that much. Most of the
land on the American side is in pri-
vate ownership, while all that on the
other belongs to the government ex-
cepting some 1000 acres.
1t is proposed to reclaim the land
by private enterprise under the drain
age system and 1t is estimated 1t can
be done for about SO an acre or some
100000. The land is now worth
about that much, whereas the land
on the American side would be worth
800 an acre IL 1t were drained, and
that on the other side of the line con-
siderably more.
Our drainage district law contains
some defects, one of which is a pro-
vision that the outlet of the drain
age system shall be within the dis
trict, which is impossible In such a
case as that presented at Bonner's
Ferry. 1t Is desired to have that
changed, and 1t is also necessary to
secure authority for the directors OF
the proposed district to pay for hav-
ing work done across the line.
IT is anticipated that the people on
the other side will cooperate in the
undertaking, while the Canadian gov
ernment will grant the necessary per-
mission for doing the work. II the
needed legislation be secured, every
thing will then be in shape for organ
izing the enterprise on the American
side, and II will then be possible to
negotiate definite arrangement with
the Canadian authorities.

WlTTPENN BESlEGED
BY OFFICE-SEEKERS
Suffering from Srain-Has Not Yet Con-
ferred With Davis Over
Appointments.
Especial to the Evening Start

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 12.-Mayor-elect
II. Otto Wittpenn is worn out as a re-
suit of the persistence of office-seekers.
He has given an audience to every
man who has tried to see him since
election day, and he has been kept busy
night and day listening to pleas for
positions.
Friends have advised the Mayor-elect
to take the bull by the horns and an
nounce his appointments this week, if
possible.
Robert Davis, the Democratic leader,
is waiting to hear from Mayor-elect
Wittpenn in regard to the slated APP
pointments so that the matter of
patronage may be settled. Mr.. Davis
is not a candidate for city collector,
although a few of his friends. without
securing his approval, tried to create
a boom for him for that office. But
Mr.. Davis does expect to have much to
say as the head of the Democratic or
ganization about the appointments.
He has been consulted only by proxy
so far. Members of the organization
are ohafng al the delay in the pro-
posed pow-wow between the Demo-
cratic leader and Mayor-elece Wittpenn.
County Counsel John Griffin. who has
been very close to Mayor-elect Witt
penn. is said to have been the proxy
for him in discussions with Mr.. Davis
over appointments.
An effort will be made to settle all
important appointments this week.

TWO LOSE HANDS SAVING
LIVES OF COMRADES.
Workmen on BlackwelPs Island Bridge
Shove Steel Plate from Path
of Fellows.

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-In order to
save several comrades from death, Oil
yer Jude and John j. McGlynn, iron
workers, each lost a hand yesterday.
The two men were at work on the Long
Island City tower of the new Black
wells Island bridge. They were work
ing high up on the structure, and 1t
was their duty to guide into place the
great steel plates on which the girders
rest. Below them were working a score
of other men.
One of the great plates that had just
been settled into place suddenly began
to slid Unless it was stopped it would
plunge from It's base onto the heads of
the men working below. Jude and
McGlynn saw the danger. and, shout
ing to the workmen below, each threw
an arm around a beam. and each seized
with his free hand the sliding plate.
BY a gigantic effort they slipped the
plate to one side so that it rested
against a beam. But they were unable
to withdraw their hands in time and
they were caught between the plate
and the beam. Jude's right hand was
cut off at the wrist, and McGlynn's
left hand was terribly mangled.

ABRAHAM AND DAVID.
GLACIERS, ARE OUT.
Latter Usurped Formers Rights in
Grocery Contract and Subsequent
Row Leads Them to Court.

Abraham Yascolky, of 119 Prince
street. is a glazier who goes about the
city in the pursuance of his vocation.
David Landberg, of liz Montgomery
street, is also in the same business.
Both men are friends, or were until
this morning, when they appeared in
the Second Precinct Police Court be-
fore Judge Herr and told their stories.
It appeared, according to Yalcolky,
that he got a job to put a wind glass
in a Cutler street grocery STORE. He
went home and got the glass. This
morning he returned to the store to
do the work and found Landberg put
ting the finishing touches on the job.
Yascolky demanded that L~andberg
pay him the value of his pane Of glass.
Words followed, and they were so AMI
mated that the attention of the police
was attracted, and both men landed
in the station house.
Yascolky told the judge that he did
not like Landberg's treatment. Judge
Herr opined that it was not a graceful
way Of demonstrating contempt and
might get the offender into serious
trouble.
The men began to start up the argu-
ment, but the judge cut them short
and told them to go home and conduct
themselves like respectable citizens.
Yascolky was told that he had redress
in the civil court if Landberg owed
him money.

AUTOISTS ENDANGERED
LIVES ON FERRYBOATS.

RIVERSIDE, Dec. Illegal pro-
ceedings have been ordered to be
brought against L. D.. Beger, of 81
North Broad street, and Joseph
Reeves. of 203 Bank street, for endan-
gering the lives of passengers'on ferry
boats. Beger crossed on the ferryboat
Beverly, from Philadelphia to Camden,
in an automobile. and refused to ex-
einguish the headlights, and Reeves
crossed on the ferryboat Arctic and
refused to shut off the power, thereby
creating a liability to explosion and
fire and endangering the lives of many
passengers.
The headlights, by reason of their
intense brilliancy, are liable to be mis-
taken for the lights Of approaching
vessels, and thereby cause danger OF
collisions.
The United States District Attorney
has been directed to issue warrants for
both machines, whose machines have
Pennsylvania licenses. 1861 and STA,
respectively.

THIEF ROCKS CRADLE
AS PAL R0BS ROOM.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 12.-"Are you sure
you covered baby well?" asked Mrs.
Simon Kramer as her husband stirred
and yawned. just before dawn.
YES muttered Kramer. The child
wept a little, hen quoted down. Five
minutes later the child began crying
again, but in a few minute its walls
were hushed.
Just then Kramer heard an unusual
stir in the room. He was out of bed In
a second. In the half light he saw the
figure of one man at the head of the
baby's cradle, patiently rocking the in
FAINT, while the other was moving
swiftly from the dresser to the hallway.
Kramer started after them, but was
stopepd by his wife.
Keep still, Simon; you'll wake the
baby again." she complained.
Two watches and $40 in money were
taken.
