ENGINEER ARRIVES TO START
WORK ON ANG0sTURA.
FORCE Will ARRIVE SOON
BIG PROJECT WILL SOON ASSUME
CONCRETE FORM AND WORK
WILL COMMENCE

E. T. Pease, an engineer from the
Reclamation service with head
quarters at Denver, arrived in the
city Monday morning for the pur-
pose of starting the government sur
vey of the Angostura Project. On
tuesday in company with Judge p.
+. Ward, chairman of the Irrigation
Committee of the Commercial Club,
he visited the dam site for the pur-
pose of selecting camp site for the
men who will do the testing for the
dam.
Mr.. Pease will be in charge of the
work done on the Angostura, but
will put in part of his time on the
Wind River Project in Wyoming. Mr..
G. Stubblefield, who arrived Wednes-
day will be in active charge of the
work here. AS soon as all the equip
ment arrives Mr.. Stubblefield will es-
tablish a permanent camp at or near
the "Narrows," one crew will with
the aid of diamond drill test the
dam site while another crew will do
the survey for the canals, bitches,
etc.
This is perhaps the most impor-
tant work that has been undertaken
in this section of the state for many
years and it is to be hoped that every
one will assist these gentlemen in
every possible way. Every indication
points to a realization of the hopes
and dreams of the many Fall River
and Custer county ranchers who will
be effected by the big project. From
this survey will be based the estim-
ates which will be used by con-
gress in making the appropriation to
complete the work.

The editor of the Star is in recent

of this city, telling of his trip in the
west with his grandfather. It is
a very interesting letter and the
young mans many friends here will
be pleased to hear from him. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Sir
thought I would take this op:
portunity to write to you and tell
you about what 1 think of this
country.
Since leaving Hot Springs 1 have
seen some beautiful scenery, but if
it were not for the heighth of the
mountains and the profusion of the
wild flowers, l could have imagined
that l was in the Black Hills.
l arrived in Seattle four days ago
to-day, and I have been taking in
the sights.
Seattle has extensive shipping, in
fact, 1T ranks second in the United
States, New York having the honor
of being first.
crossed the ferry with my grand
father. Judge Jesse Holdom, of
Chicago, and saw many boat houses
and also large bathing beach.
Nearly all of the houses had dis
tinctive names, one being Bringing
up Father" and few doors away
another one bearing the name ''Din-
ty Moore's." Other names were {:
Sleepy Nell" Happy Bill" patsy
Flannigan's Diggings," etc.
l left Seattle this morning and ar
rived in British Columbia about one
thirty this afternoon.
1t seems very strange to see the
Union Jack floating from all the
principal places instead of the "Stars
and Stripes" and it makes one feel
as if he were in truth, "a long, long.
way from home"
There are great many wounded
or crippled soldiers here and it is a
very sad sight to see some of them
with their feet shot off and others
with other portions of their body
missing.
The street car strike in Seattle is
becoming very serious The COM
pany has imported strike breakers
from Chicago and New York. and
when they attempt to use them,
there will be a great deal worse riot
than any that have proceeded. 1t is
getting late and so l will close.
Very respectfully yours,
ALFRED H. WHEELER.

When with wheat and corn the bins

And the noise of the gathering-in is
stilled;
When the trees are bare, and the
fields are brown,
And the feathery fakes come floating
down;
When the ground is hard and the skies
are gray,
And the skaters skim DER the ice
away;
When the cattle stand in their stalls
content,
And MUNICH the clover the summer
sent;
When the wood-house shelters the

And the cellar is stored with the
things to eat;
When the house is banked 'gainst the
winter storm,
And all within is snug and warm;
When the days are short and the even
ings long,
Then rings the glad Thanksgiving
song. Anon

MEN ARE NOMINATED
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE
FOOTBALL

The high school football team left
this afternoon on the 2:43 o'clock
train over the North Western road
for Marshfield where they will play
the upstate high school for the cham
piOnship of the state.
Marinette telephoned Tuesday for a
game on turkey day with the locals
after it had found out that the locals
were to meet Marshfield Marshfield
challenged Marinette for a game for
last Saturday, which was refused
Both teams were free on that date and
had Marinette accepted, they would
probably be contenders for the state
championship. AS it is they have moth
ing to base their claims on now, for
they refused to meet one of the con-
tenders.
Coach Thomas has been working
the boys lightly for the coming fray,
but in all probability they will not be
in as good condition for the Marsh
field game as they were when they
walked over the Fort Atkinson team
at that time in line for championship
honors.
Four men will don the leather for
the local school for the last time, as
they are to be graduated this coming
spring. They are Alvin Wegemann,
Earl and Kenneth Archie and M. Ka-
minski.
Wegemann at right half and Ka-
minski at left were a combination
hard to beat and will be sure to show
up in the Marshfield game The two
Archie brothers at the end positions
were to be counted upon for gains
every time forward came their way.
Thomas has lot of promising mater
ial with which to fill the gaps and
will no doubt put up a winner next
year.
The officials in the Marshfield game
will be Schreiber, old University star
and coach of the Whitewater team
and Coach Fairchild of Stevens Point.
If either of these two fail to act there
will be two registered officials from
Madison on hand to Judge the game.
