The Mules Understood.

A story is told of Senator Knute
Nelson. who spent some of his early
years in logging camp. He there
discovered the necessity of certain
emphatic language in order to make
mules move. All varieties Of
tongues were in demand in that camp:
Scandinavian, German, Italian-but
none of the words used seemed to
have the explosive force to adjust
the tempo of the mule to the desired
pace. Along came a strapping Irish
man, who used some popular exple-
tives, usually indicated in print by
blank. blank. or - The mules
moved. There's language all
mules understand" said the Irishman

Teton Project Delayed.

A dispatch from North Yakima
states that from present indications
the Tieton canal project, which is to
reclaim 900 acres of land in Yaki-
on account of the scarcity of labor
and inadequate service of the rail
road in carrying supplies. The
ditch was supposed to have been COM
pleted by 1908, but it is hardly pos
sible now to finish it until late in the
summer of next year, which will
cause the loss of next years crop.
! Work on opening the portals of
the three long tunnels has progressed
as far as possible until more machin-
cry arrives and the power house is
completed. Joseph Jacobs, the engi-
neer in charge, finds it impossible to
secure sufficient laborers, although
they are receiving 1925 for day OF
eight hours. About 60 men are now
at work on the portal of the long
tunnel, about 10 miles from Naches
City, and he wishes to increase this
number to 80 at once and has sent
to Seattle for 80 men.
| It Is the intention to place 700 men
at work as soon as drilling machin-
cry arrives. The government is do
ing the work itself as the bids for
lconstruction were rejected because
they were excessive. Mr.. Jacobs as.
serts that he will probably ask a
number of small contractors to take
contracts for small portions of the
work and handle few stations. He
believes the contractors with small
capital will be anxious to do the
work, and thus relieve the govern
ment of considerable worry. Com
lmodious bunkhouses and dining
rooms have been built and the work
men have more comforts than usual
in camp life. Preparations will soon
be completed for opening the tunnel
and as soon as the machinery arrives
dirt will fly and the real work will be
begun.
