 These are days when men occupy ing government tents situated on the
 lower ground are not dead certain
 where they are residing, as a gang | of carpenters and masons living in 1 one of the bunk houses can testify tonight. This morning most of them
 went to work as usual, down at the
 dam, and worked there all day In
 the meantime another bunch of wood ! butchers was put to work on their 1 residence and it was torn down and re-erected at a higher point or, to be
 more accurate, up on Lake Terrace | the latest addition to government | headquarters and situated immedi- ately below the canal When your 1 scribe passed their old location he oerheard a fOrlorn bunch of fellow workers perched upon a saw horse, ] like a lot of chickens deprived of | their home and gone to roost in the nearest tree. Everything else had vanished. Their new quarters were already awaiting them, however, with all their belongings transported and in place. We forgot to note whether the beds had all been prepared and clean sheets and pillow cases placed thereon, but suppose such was the case.
