Under the agreement to sell the canal, as signed by Secretary Hay and Mr. Cromwell, there being no stipula tion to the contrary, the company was not bound to continue the heavy daily expenditure on account of labor and material and superintendence involved in the continuation.

WORK WILL BE OF THE VERY BEST First Five Schemes W ill Consume Entire Sum Appropriated by Congress for Irrigation W ork. Washington, April 13.— The opinion prevails among certain government offi cials acquainted with irrigation works that the five projects recently authoriz ed to be undertaken under the general irrigation law will cost considerably more to construct than has been esti mated. Secretary Hitchcocs announced that the five works could be built for approximately |7,000,000, but these persons, who are familiar particularly with the Milk river project in Montana aud the Truckee canyon project in Nevada, say that those two scheme« alone will consume the greater portion of that amount. It is pointed out that government work w ill be more expensive than pri vate irrigation anyway, because, to a great extent, private companies have se cured possession of all tbe sites where cheap irrigation can be practiced, and those which the government w ill have to improve are all of a more expensive and difficult character; second, the economical showing made by private companies is due in many instances to the temporary character of the work, which it has been intended to replace with more permanent and expensive plants when the profits began to accu mulate; third, when congress passed the irrigation law it incorporated there in a provision that all work Bbould be done under an eight-hour labor con tract. and that no Mongolian labor should be employed. These provisions have resulted in materially increasing the cost of the work to the Federal authorities.
