For Machinery For Operat-

A MILLION FOR
RIVER IMPROVEMENTS
House Committee Makes
Makes Largest Appropri-
alton Ever Made to
Tennessee River.

The House Committee on rivers and
harbors largely through the efforts of
Judge Moon, who is a member of the
committee, in it's final bill will recon-
mend an appropriation of $500, 593 for
improvements of rivers in Tennessee.
OF this amount $51, go will 60 for
the work at Hale's Bar The recent
legislation providing the lock and dam
at Hale's Bar, through the cooperation
ofC. E. James, J. G. Guild and asso-
ciates, made it incumbent upon the
government to furnish the machinery
for operating the lock used for naviga-
tion. The $67, 970 in the bill takes
care of this item and insures the use
of this improvement for practical nav
igation as soon as the divers COM
plete their contract. The Oliver COM
pany's contract provides for its COM
pletion in October, 1907, and it is un-
derstood that the contractors insist
that they will complete the job at the
time specified.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH.

The Archaeological Society of Utah.
OF which Colonel f. A. Wall is presi-
dent, has begun a movement to pre-
serve the interesting ruins of ancient
peoples in this state. and to study them
systematically and scientifically. The
movement should he supported by the
whole state and the purpose of the So
ciety furthered as much as possible by
public spirited citizens.
II is not as widely known as it should
be that Utah has some of the most in
teresting ruins OF the cliff jewellers in
southeastern part Of the state are par
ticularly rich in historic interest be-
cause they are so well preserved and
offer such valuable opportunity for
study. Unfortunately these remains
have not been protected heretofore, and
looters have been permitted to take
away much of the material for personal
gain or for museums and educational
institutions of other states
Under the direction of the Archae olog-
4tdi SOtielN IL ought 10 De possible 10
protect all the historic ruins from such
vandalism and keep them intact as OBJ
jects whose worth will grow as study
reveals more OF their significance The
society is anxious to have detailed in
formation of cliff dwellings and other
Genealogical objects of interest. To
that end it urges correspondence with
the secretary. Professor Byron Cum
mings of the University of Utah. Every
owner of such material and every one
who is familiar with points of interest
to the society is invited to write Pro-
lessor Cummings on the subject All
the data collected will be classified and
arranged in such form that il will be-
come available for students and will
aid materially in the expeditions for re-
search which the society hopes to or
ganize.

the more you cut your interest. We
advise every man to maintain a parity

so, that if you can pay $50 a month you

The Troubles of a House Hunter

When the stranger and his family
first come to town they make up their
minds about the sort of house they
went to rent They want a six-room
pressed brick. with bath and summer
kitchen. and dining room just so large
and no larger, because If 1t We're larger
or smaller their carpet wouldn't ut:
they want a west exposure or a south
exposure; they want a lawn that has
been kept in good condition; they want
a barn that's painted brown. and not
red; they want a furnace that doesn (
overhead, nor grow suddenly cold; they
want a bathroom with plumbing that
doesn't leak; they want flower beds
exactly twenty-four feet from the front
door.
That's what they want. and that's
what they propose to have.
After a weeks tramping of the
streets. wheeling the twins buggy
meeting with transforms and other dis
comforts, they come to the conclusion
that a five-rcom house might do Cor
the present, and that. really, il doesn't
matter so much about the color OF the
barn.
After the second week, they don't
know but that four-room house
might serve, and that maybe IL would
be all right if the flower beds we're just
a little farther away. or a little nearer
After the third week they come to the
real estate Offices and say: I'VE hope
you won't throw us out, but We would
like to rent house-almost anything
will do"
