THE RIVER IS FALLING
 Al T0NT0 DAMSITE
Though the Weather is Unsettled, it is Expected to Resume the Laying of Masonry This Week.


 and the weather is still unsettled, the river has been falling gradually and by Tuesday the tunnel held the flow. The coffer dam below the dam has been repaired but still lets in consid- erable water. The pumps are at work pumping the water from the eXcava- ton. It is hoped that masonry work may be resumed by the latter part of the ensuing week. Not a great deal of sand has been deposited by this flood and can be removed in a short time. One of the most serious results of each flood is the scarcity of laborers. When a flood comes the laborers are without work and on expense, which is not less than a dollar per day and as it is impossible to determine the length of the delay. many pick up their rolls of bedding and seek employment elsewhere. During the recent floods many have gone and the scarcity of laberers is being felt by the contract OTIS.

Though the Roosevelt office is but fourth class, a great deal of mail is handled here and i2 case of a washout on the rail- road the Globe mails become almost a burden on the hands of the RoOse- welt postmaster.
