"We visited VI alta last week and found
her TO be the biggest business town in Kansas.
One of her grain dealers informed Us that

Not long since gentleman OF practical en-
perience with wa.erpower was in the city who
engaged a civil engineer and made q survey
OF the land between ihe Big and Little rivers,
starting in the vicinity o. the Weidncr bridge
and running in a northwesterly direction TO
the Big river, and in this survey found that
by digging n race across, tall Of nine feet
ard six inches could be secured. Ii that is
the case, us development into practical use
would be worth more 10 the city thsn two

mills, paper mills, pulp grinding, and hun
dred other things would spring into existence
which would double tee population of our
city inside the next three or four years.
