0A0AUAV0S V4OAI.p JILL Os A04H b00~
tion OF Montana Is very much inter
ested Ia the present national move
ment Tor the improvement Of the In
~ternal waterways Of the United States:
The cause for local interest lies Ii the
fact that Glendive Is omcially and
necessarily the head Of navigation Of
the Yellowstone river. which empties
Into the Missouri about eighty miles
northwest Of here.
Each summer the river steamer
Expansion" has made regular trips
to Glendive, and during the past 9
son at least 800 tons Of freight we're
landed here by that boat.
The navigation Of the Yellowstone
ito this point Is now menaced BY the
construction Of the big government Il
Irrigation dam about sixteen miles be-
low Glendive, at which point waser
will be diverted for the lower Yellow
stone irrigation project. All local ef-
fort to induce the government to put
locks In this dam have proved IN
availing.
Ii an effort to remedy this cOndi-
ton, as well as to further promote the
navigability OF the stream, Senator
Joseph M. Dixon Of Montana has In
troduced in the upper house Of ;
gress a bill calling upon the Scare
tary OF War to make q survey Of the
Yellowstone, from Glendive to the
mouth OF the river, with a view - de-
termine the cost OF dredging tho river
to provide Appointment channel four
feet deep, as well as to install locks
In the government dam. Senator Dix
on Is warmly commended for this
timely action. q. Vi w.H@
Call For Meeting.
Copies Of the call for the first meet
ing Of the Missouri River Navigation
congress have been received here: The
meeting Is to be held at Sioux City,
Iowa, Jan, % and %, to organize Z
permanent association to LOOK after
the navigation interests C the Mis-
souri, and It's tributaries. Il is hoped
that some Glendive business men will
find It possible to atten! that meet
trg.
II the better navigation Of the Vel
lowstone can be accomplisnei--and 1t
can be done without interfering with
any present or prospe .tiye irrigation
proiect-it will not only vastly benefit
Glendive from the transportation
standpoint, but it will also be a grent
boon for the lower Yellowstone valley,
soon to be placed under irrigation
from the government cane, and for
tn. rapid1y-settling agr,ciit t.al Dis
tricts OF Dawson county, as providing
a cheap method Of transporting grain,
stock and other products to market.

Washington. Jan. 6.--The president
made public the following letter o.
Admiral Brownson with the explana-
ton that It was inadvertently ommit-
tea" from correspondence which was
made public. The letter follows:
Department Of the Navy, Bureau Of
Navigation, Washington December n,
1907:
Dear Sir:--In April last l was de
tached BY your order from commander
Of the United States Asiatic meet AMI
ordered to Washington and appointed
chief Of an important. bureau il the
navy department, the bureau which,
under the secretary, Is charged with
matters relating to the personnel, the
discipline and the efficiency cf the
feet.
This transfer from a command
which ranks in Importance after one
which is second to none on shore. com
ing on the Eve Of my retirement from,
active service, while not to my parti
cular liking, was deeply gratifying to
me as 1t appeared to be an evidence Of
your confidence In my professional
ability. @
In order however, that aly efforts
OF mine to maintain a high standard Of
excellence and discipline ii the ser
vice be attended with success It Is
absolutely essential that / should have
the confidence Of the service at large
as well as that Of higher authority.
The efficiency Of the fleet can only be
maintained when the omcers and men
feel that the chief Or the bureau of
navigation has the c%onfdeacs OF the
commander IN chief Of the army and
navy and when a strong military spirit
exists IL the service. Anything that
shows q lack Of c%onfde,ce Of that
tends to break down this military
spirit which has been the safeguard
and principal asset OF tn navy since
Its beginning can but imoair such ef-
1ciency.
"The recent order placing a medical
office, In command Of a hospital shin
is in my opinion and as l have en-
deavored on several occasions to point
out to you. clearly opposed to the in
tent of the law; is a radical departure
from established naval usage, Is
fraught with danger to the efficiency
Of the feet. will tend, / believe, to.
break down the military spirit Of the
service and shows q want Of your con
idence in me in matter SO vital to
the best interests of the service.
II am left therefore, with no alter
native but to tender my resignation as
chief Of the bureau Of navigation,
much as I regret to sever my active
connection with the service to which
I have been devoted and to which
have given the best efforts Of my lie.
(signed) Very respectfully.
N willard Brownson,
Chief Of the. Bureau
The president"
The presidents letter Of acceptance
is as follows:
''The White House. Washington,
Dec. 80:
'sir:-I accept your resignation to
take effect Immediately. You will this
afternoon turn ' your affairs to
Captain Winslow, informing him that
this action appointing him your sue
cessor is approved by me.

ONTARIO TUNNEL.
What a. Camp Paper Says About the
Work Going on There.

Good reports have been coming from
the drain tunnel So regularly OF late
that il has been hard to keep track of
them, says the Park Record. They
all amount to practically the same
thing, however, and that is that from
all Indications and so far as the man
agement is definitely able to determine,
the pent up waters OF the main tunnel
have been tapped by drill hole from
the drift running parallel to the main
waterway, and with the present good
ground and favorable circumstances
the tunnel can positively be drained by
the present method. though IL viii
take some little time. Up until the
present the main drawback in the
work has been bad ground, ana when
ever before hole has been sent
through the drift walls into the tunnel
II has filled up, clogged, caved in, or
in some other way proved uns itisfac-
tory. Monday. however connection
was made with the tunnel by a hole
which has stayed in hard ground all
the way through and which will doubt

lsrsclnI 10 tho News. y

Washington. d. c., Jan. 2I.--Sonator
Hepburn reported To the senate today a
very Important measure from the com.
mittoe on mines and mining, the OBJ
ject of which Is to valitlato the location
of mineral claims heretofore made by
deputy mineral surveyors. the interior
department hnying held that deputy
mineral surveyors, although not oniccra
OF the government, are prohibited from
locating claims on public lands rale
which properly applies TO employees %
the general land Office.
There is conflict OF opinion between
some OF the courts and the secretary Of
the interior as to whether or not dep
uty mineral surveyors come within the
prohibition clause Of section 459 Of re-
vised statutes applying to officers ana
employees of the general land Office.
The statutes provide for forfeiture
OF his commission by any officer on cn-
ploye. but says nothing about the ef
feet OF the law upon the validity OF any
location made by such an officer or
employe, hence the Importance OF leg
islation on this point. in order to set at
rest any question as 10 such locations
and titles passed thereon.
The committee on minSs aud mining
today had under consideration the bill
introduced by Senator Hepburn provid
ing for the establishment here of a de-
partment of mines, which has the sup
port Of the American Mining congress.
