PLANS MADE HERE
With the calling in of the outside
men, the local Office of the engineers
will enjoy a much larger working
force, and the preliminary work on the
proposed feet can be pushed rapid. y
during the winter months. The river
improvement work has been seriously
handicapped in the past because of the
insufficiency Of its feet, and the new
equipment will enable the engineers
TO handle a much greater volume OF
work in an expedite manner.

HANDsoNIEsT DIVORCEE
Mrs. Hill, Wife of Wealthy Connec-
 ticut Iron Man.

Reno, Nev., Feb. 2O.-M1s. Mary C. Hill, who got a decree of divorce here Friday from Ebenezer Hill, veal thy iron man, of Connecticut, was voted the handsomest applicant for divorce in this city by those who heard her relate her story Of unhap- pineSs.
 Mrs. Hill got her uncontested de- cree on grounds of failure to provide. She told the court that from the time of her marriage, at Brooklyn, in 1901, her husband failed to provide her with any clothing. A short time af- ter their marriage he stopped buy ing her any of the common necessi- ties of life, she said, leaving her prac- tfcaIly on her own resources.
 MT Hill is the proprietor of one of the biggest iron works of Connec- ticut and also an officer of the Con- necticut state militia. He is a nephew of Ebenezer J. Hill, representative in
