The Elk Mountain pilot., 1908-03-05

One of the new waterways from
which great things may be expected is
the Sabine Lake canal. Is miles long.
connecting the Sabine and Teches riv-
ers and making a new and important
route to the Gulf of Mexico and the At
lAntic ocean by way of Sabine lake,
which lies between Louisiana and
Texas. The first shipment has been
made through the canal in the form of
a load of lumber bound for England.
The canal illustrates in moderate
degree what may be accomplished
through n general plan of developing
deep waterways. Every facility thus
provided will mean additional oppor-
tunities for home and foreign trade,
fostered by cheap and convenient
transportation.

Scale OF Farm Wages.

Greeley.-The officers of the Farm
crs Institute OF this district have re
ceived numerous letters during the last
month showing that the scale
of farm wages adopted at the
institute meeting here last month
and published in local news
papers has been generally copied all
over the country. Many letters have
come from Michigan. New York and
Iiwa from laboring men, inquiring for
places to work on farms at the prices
stipulated. One man In New York city
wants to make arrangements to fur
nish laborers to the farmers.
All of this. the farmers believe.
means relief from the scarcity of help
here to handle crops during the har-
vest season. At the request of the
government immigration department
the scale CT wages has been sent to II
so that foreigners seeking employment
in agriculture NAV know of work in
the potato and beet belt of Colorado.
The scale quotes regular monthly farm
wages with board at $50 a month, or
dinary work by the day on farms at a
81 rs to SO with board. higher wages to
be paid Tor special work and for irri-
CATION. and cents sack, without
board. for picking potatoes. The de
mand for good laborers will be greater
the coming season than heretofore, as
each successive season brings from
$500 to 1000 acres more under cult

OF the goose little bulb with whistle

to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the

coIoradan Reported Killed.

Denvcr.-Informatio that Thomas
Z. Beans. well known Colorado min
ing man. was mysteriously killed at
Gold Circle, Nevada, Wednesday night,
has revealed the fact that about the
middle of the month Beans had long
race with some prospectors whom he
beat to a rich mineral claim by twenty
minutes. Although the telegram an
nouncing his death stated only that
no clue to the murderers had been dis
covered. A. p. Mackey of Denver be.
lieves that a letter sent to him when
Beans made his location will offer the
Gold Circle authorities a clue which
may prove to be a correct one. He be-
lieves that the men who raced with
Beans to locate upon the claim had
something to do with his death.
