homa and Southern Wyoming. His
skillful management Of the details of
the construction of the six-mile tun-
mel under the mountains to the Uucom-
pagre Valley, which tunnel President
Taft recently opened, brought him
rapid promotion, but now he has re-
signed to accept a much larger salary
IN private employment. Some have
been arguing from it that the recla-
nation service must increase salaries.
However, the experience is only that
of other government bureaus.
All the agitation. pro and con. prom
ises to define the reclamation service
in the public mind as a great business
entity. \ very large majority Of the
people unfamiliar with its projects and
operations have been regarding il as
little more than an experimental mat
ter. But reclamation has grown into
a mighty government institution in
which the entire country properly has
some concern. as il must have in the
Panama Canal and river and harbor

very excellent force of competent
engineers. Every time a private cor
poration picked off one of these engIu-
GERS by offers of larger salaries. the
cry went up that this trained corps
had become discouraged because Of the
unfriendly attitude of the authorities
higher up.
Be shat as it may, the reclamation
service is having an identical expert
ence with its trained men that other
bureaus Of the government have. Pres
ident Roosevelt decided to put army
engineers in charge of the Panama
Canal, for one reason, because capt.
talists in New York and elsewhere
were offering tempting salaries TO
every civilian engineer on the Isthmus
who was making good but had become
little tired. Treasury experts in M.
merous lines almost invariably gravi-
tate toward private employment which
is more lucrative. No year passes
without the government losing scores
of valuable trained men. because. as
a rule. government employment pays
less. Their places, however, are filed
by others. whom the government trains
for its business, and the reclamation
service will follow the same course.
A deal of emphasis has been laid
in reclamation circles on the resi- gna-
ton a few weeks ago of Ira ". Ne
Connell, an unknown man this side Of
the Mississippi Valley, but famous IN
the West as one Of the greatest and
most successful Of reclamation engin-
GERS, He was supervising engineer for
