KANSAS RAILROADS

Three hundred and eighty-four car
loads of stock were shipped over the
Santa Fe Monday.
A Council Grove special: The Mis-
souri, Pacific railway company is at
work on stock yards at this point.
When completed they will consist of
thirty-two pens, with feeding capac
ity of 10000 head.
Bird City News: The rumor that the
Rock Island railroad was heading this
way proves to be certainty. There is
now no doubt that We will have anoth-
er railroad in the near future and that,
one that builds up the country it goes
through.
Newman Erb, general manager of the
Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwest
ern railroad visited Topeka for the pur-
pose of making arrangements with the
Rock Island for the joint use of their
track between Summerfield and Beat
rice, Neb.
Salem Argus: The vote for the is
suing of bonds and subscription of
stock to the Kansas Northern railway
company, in measure went beyond
the expectations of all. One hundred
and fifty-three votes were cast OF this
number one hundred and twenty-five
were for the bonds, twenty-six against
them, while two votes were cast both
for and against them.
Mcpherson Republican: There is
talk of new road from Omaha by way
of Salina to connect with road now in
process of construction from Hutchin-
son to Kingman. What this road is or
who is backing 1t nobody seems to
know. For that matter it does not seem
TO make much difference. They pro-
pose to build from Salina to Mcpherson
and to use the Rock Island thence to
Hutchinson. A connection with Oma-
ha would be worth considerable to the
people of this county.
At the general offices of the Rock
Island at Topeka, it has been an
nounced that the following appoint
ments had been made: Mr.. Charles
Dunlap, assistant general superintend-
emit with headquarters at Topeka, Kan

was certainly startling novelty in interstate
policy; but it was only the beginning, and
the general government will doubtless have
to fix general rule There are enthusiasts
who say that all the waters of the Platte and
many other affiuents of the upper Missouri,
will In a few years be shut off and soaked up
by the arid lands; that they will in conse-
quence roll no more mud and sand into the
Missouri, and so it will contribute no more to
the Mississippi, and hence that stream will
have a uniform channel in the far south and
cease to do damage. For every acre re-
claimed on the Platte Arkansas and Yellow

President Grant was earnestly besought to
begin his administration with a request Of
congress to enter on the preliminary work
for a comprehensive system of irrigation;
but he unfortunately went a little too far
and recommended plan which ELECTED
feeble smile from far western men, There
was enough good land still in the rainy
regions, and so the matter rested near nine
teen years, when the congressman of the far
west combined and secured an appropriation
late in September, lSSS-Sl00,000 to pay for
surveying and locating storage reservoirs at
the head waters of streams west of the Tooth
meridian" for the purposes of irrigation. 1t
was trifie, but it committed the government
to the policy, and Maj. Powell, director of
the geological survey, soon entered on the
work.
He now estimates the arid area at 400, 600
square miles, or four-tenths of the United
States, excluding Alaska. OF this area he
regards one-ffth as too rocky and rugged for
cultivation, but nearly all other observers
make the rugged area much larger, including
in it, of course, those mountain top plateaus
which are too elevated toproduce grain. His
estimate of ZOO, 900 square miles of land
needing only water to make it productive"
is nearer the fact, but probably still too
large. In 1880 less than per cent. of this
vast area had been redeemed, and with the
most expensive and elaborate works not more
than 20 per cent. can ever be redeemed by
any process now known to man, says Direc-
tor Powell Nevertheless, if but ID per cent.
be redeemed, or 10000 square miles, this in
creases the cultivated lands of the United
States by nearly one-half, and at $50 per
acre adds 81, ,000, 900 to the national
wealth.
Meanwhile the committee presided over by
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has completed
a two months tour, travelling some l4,OOO
miles, examining witnesses aud viewing the
sites for proposed canals and storage reser
voirs, and 2, 800 square miles of alleged irriga-
BILE land have been carefully surveyed by the
engineers and the line of proposed canals plot
ted. So the work has become truly national at
last, and must continue for many years to be-
come amatter of increasing governmental con-
csrn, and Of course fruitful source OF politi-
cal agitation, charges and counter charges.

his administration was "clean and able" dis

was reelected, and gained such reputation as

his enthusiastic friends confidently predicted
that he would soon be governor of the state
