GOLD HILL IRRIGATION
CANAL WORK PROCESSING

John Dubuis, chief engineer Of
the Gold Hill Irrigation project,
states that three miles Of the canal,
reaching from az miles above Gold
Hill TO about opposite Gold Hill have
already been completed. The exca-
vation represents about $1,000 yards
Of material and the work is being
done by force OF some 25 men and
so mules. A concrete dam 140 feet
long and with a maximum height
Of seven feet has been constructed
across Rogue river at the head of
the canal. The work on this dam
had to be done in practically one
pouring, necessitating night and day
work for Sc hours. This damming
of the river presented an engineer
ing problem which was successfully
met and at cost several hundred
dollars below the estimate.
Mr.. Dubuis says he hopes to have
the system completed by January 1.
This will include the construction of
the remaining liz miles Of ditch,
the building Of fumes, head gates
and farmers deliveries.
Indications are that the project
will be constructed we'll within the
estimated cost in spite of the In
creasing price Of material and labor.

quest on the War Trade Board TO

LETTER FROM THE EUROPEAN
BATTLEFIELDS

Somewhere in France, Nov. 25, 1917.
MY DEAR MRS. LEVY:
Sometime ago I received a letter from
an old schoolmate of mine, Stephen
F. Puff, saying your church had sent
me a box of cigars. l certainly was on
the lookout after that at mail time, for
American tobacco of any kind is great
ly appreciated by us boys; and those
cigars were excellent. My bunkies
and myself wish to thank you ever SO
much for them.
Everything that from the
States seems so much better than from
any other place. The people in the
States have done a lot towards our
comfort over here, and 1t has all been
appreciated. Uncle Sam takes the best
of care of us, but nevertheless the
little presents from friends are what
cheers us up during our idle moments.
Again thanking you for your excel
lent present and kind thoughts,
l remain sincerely yours,
e. J. WOOD.

Soldier at Newport News Expects
War 10 End Soon

J. Pennington Dreamer, the National
Bank clerk, recently wrote a letter
home which describes bis life in the
army camp at Newport News, Va.
He says:
"Your mighty interesting letter re-
ceived and sure was glad to get it.
Every bit of correspondence hat we
get here is surely appreciated. l do
not know whether or not l told you
that [ had been assigned to Casual
Headquarters at Camp Hill, but l am
still here, although there is something
IN the air and 1 feel that I will soon be
removed away to some other office.
We have good quarters, fairly good food
and L have not been overworked as yet.
The men over me were all in the Next
can trouble of 1916 and are all cavalry
men. They reached Columbus the day
after the Mexicans had made their raid
on the town and they Immediately
started in pursuit.
"FIom what they cay, they had a
mighty hard time of it, and it is NIGH
ty interesting to listen to their stories.
1--WE have been having it cold down
here ourselves, and for about ten days |
slept under three blankets, an overcoat,
a bathrobe and a raincoat and any
clothing that l could pile on top, and
then L was none too warm. The James
river here froze completely over for the
first time in some twenty-five years,
and all navigation was suspended for
over a week. Our camp is located
right on the banks Of the James and [
guess that is where some of the cold
comes from.
1--WE hear all kinds Of umor as to
the probable duration of the war, and
the general opinion seems to prevail
that it has not long to go. One fellow
here bad a letter from a friend in
France, who is a wireless operator, aud

of July. l hardly look for it hal soon,

ute exercise at Elk a.. m. and some of
those cold mornings it surely made

GOVERNMENT RAILWAY
CONTROL
No State DirectOrs-Three Grand
Divisions

Director General McAdoo declares
erroneous the statement that he was
about to appoint State Directors for the
operation of railroads; no such meas
ure is being considered. He puts into
effect, however, a new system of Gov
eminent railroad administration divid-
ing the country into three sections
East, South and West-and placing a
railroad executive at the head of each.
The eastern division embraces all the
railroads in the territory north of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers and east-of
Lake Michigan and the I~ndians-Illi-
nois State line; also those railroads in
Illinois extending into that State from
points east of the Indiana-IllInois State
line; also the Chesapeake & Ohio, the
Norfolk & Western, and the Virginian
railways.
The southern district is defined ss in
Guiding all railroads south Of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers and east of the
Mississippi river, excluding the rail-
roads specifically named above, but
including those roads in Indiana and
Illinois extending into those States
from points south of the Ohio river.
The western district comprises the
railroads in the balance of the country,
including all west Of the Mississippi,
North Michigan Peninsula, but ex-
GLIDING the roads running into the
State of Illinois from points south of
the Ohio river and the roads from the
east named above.
Railway Wage Commission
Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of
the Interior, Hon. Charles G. McChord,
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, Chief Justice ]. Harry Covington,
of the Supreme Court, of the District
of Columbia, and Hon. William r.
Wilcox, of New York, have been APP
pointed by the Director General as
members of the railroad wage commits
sion. Mr.. Wilcox has resigned as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
The duties of the commission are to
make general investigation of railroad
wages of the United States with the
view to determining the wages of the
different classes oflabor on the railroad.
Work will be begun at once and a re-
port giving recommendations in gen.
eeral terms as to changes that should
be made will be made to the Direc-
tor General who will then make a
decision upon it.
The powers of the commission are
broad and it will consider not only the
compensation of railroad employees,
but the relation of railroad wages to
wages in other industries, conditions
in different parts of the country, the
special emergency existing owing to
war conditions, the high cost of living,
classes of railroad labor.
President Wilson sent a letter to each
member of the commission expressing
his appreciation of his acceptance of
