The mountains on both sides of the
lake come within Halta mile of the
shore: There is onIs one mountain
stream. flowing Ttnt6 the lake, but
along thew side and south end,
close to the old tako shore line there
are layge;Enumbers of springs that
feed the; lake. AS the Ruby range at
this south end is low aud affords very
little: water these springs must be
fed blythe streams that enter the
main valley from the north end of the
range. Before the valley was settled
and irrigation carried on at the north
end, the lake was full most of the
time; but now, it is almost entirely
dry. There are 10000 acres of good
land in the valley. OF this about l.
500 acres are now under cultivation;
nearly the whole Of the lake bed
covering 1900 acres-can. be irri
gated, and water can be brought upon
part of that left. In reclaiming the
lake bed an entirely different SYSTEM
must be carried on from any other
place in the county except Franklin
lake in, this same valley. The object
here will be to keep tho water from
flooding in wet seasons instead of
attempting to secure more wpter.
Where needed artesian wells can be
sunk and water found. .,
RUBY VALLEY,
Or north and south Ruby embraces
the middle part OF the first large val
10y that lays east Of the Ruby range.
The north end is taken up by the
waterod portion of Clover Valley. and
the south occupied by Ruby lake.
Two and half miles north of Ruby
lake Franklin lake commences, ex-
tending twelve miles northeast with
average width OF 211 miles, and cover.
ing 10000 acres Of land. The lake is
fed by the mountain streams which
flow into the valley, and not by under
ground streams us is the case Of
Ruby lake; but the same causes that
have dried that lake nearly up have
had the same effect on franklin lake,
and only in very wet seasons does the
water in the luke attain any depth
or raise anywhere near its old shore
line. 1t is separated from Ruby lake
by ridge of sand about fifty feet
high at the lowest place; and west OF
this ridge is the only pass through
the Ruby range mentioned in con :
nection with description Of Mound
IValIey) From this ridge the valley
extends in 81 northerly direction &c
miles, the north end being just. south
OF Secret Valley, and six miles west of
Warm springs in Glover Valley.
There are no streams entering the
valley from the east side, except ut
tho north end where two streams

OF the valley, emptying into Franklin
Lake. The Ruby range on the west
side is we'll watered, and numerous
streams flow into the valley from it.
The cultivated lands are taken up
along the foot of this range; and, like
those in Clover Valley, cover lands
Of tho first and second groups. There
arc A6,000 acres of good valley land.
OF this 14,UN aces is now being cul-
tivated, and 100000 acres more can
be irrigated and crops raised upon
them. The remaining $4,000 acres

Assurances Complete that 1t VIII Excel
the Paris Exposition.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Worlds
Columbian Exhibition at Chicago bids
fair to be the greatest exhibition ever
held in any country; greater than the
Paris Exposition of 1889. Advices al
ready received at the Bureau Of Ameri-
can Republics here attest a remarkable
and astonishing interest in the exposi-
tion on the part, not only of the South
American republics, but continental
Europe and China and Japan as we'll.
Every country on this continent south
of the United States from Mexico to
the Argentine Republic has been heard
from and are making great preparations
to place exhibits at Chicago.
In Europe, Great Britain has already
appointed commission, with the Prince
Of Wales at the head Of it, to prepare .
wonderful exhibit for the fair. The Rus
sian government has set apart two mil
lions and half, and leading merchants
and manufacturers Of Strasburg and
MOSCOW dEo plcuBCu Aoi 90 MUM, AANtS
for the purpose Of sending here the
greatest, most diversified and novel ex-
hibit ever before collected by single
government Germany will be present
with wonderful display and France
has given assurance of bringing great
exhibit.
On this continent Mexico will proba-
bly, lead her sister republics in size and
diversity Of display, and has appropri-
ated one million dollars to do so. Mexi-
co, Columbia, Guatemala, Salvador and
Costa Rica will erect their own build
iugs at the fair, and Barbadoes, Jamai-
ca and the other British West India
islands propose to place their exhibit in
a typical building which they will erect,
to be called 1.-The West Indian court |"
Although the opening of the exposition
is two years hence, the assurances are
complete for one of the greatest exhi-
bitions the world has ever seen.

Whv Carvia Is In It.

In these piping times of peace, in
every political movement, the precau-
ton is taken to infuse into it the young
blood of the nation. The young man
and his vote is an important factor in
public life and an active one as well
His place on ticket is always reserved
and always well filed. 1t is one of the
wise provisions of the political processes
in this nation that a youngman of talents
and energy does not want chance to
enter political life. 1t is a well-spring
of continuous activity and a meritable
prevention of stagnation that would be
imminent in the other case.
On the Republican ticket this fall NJ.
A. Carvin occupies this post of honor
and responsibility.
Mr.. Carvin is young man, being 80
years of age, but it is doubtful if any
man of his age has gone through more
varied and in some instances more dan
gerous experiences. Mr. Carvin was
born near Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. %,
1858. His father was a private in COM
pany D, Eighty-eighth Indiana volun-
teer infantry and died in the army. The
following year his mother died aud
young Carvin, a mere child, was left
alone in the world, without money or
Aught else. But the little fellow had his
ideas, and one was that he must have an
education. But some things interfered.
Young Csrvin was bound over TO
farmer. The farmer was good enough
in his way, but he would only allow
young Carviu three months schooling
a year, and our ambitious young
ster bided his time, and az the
proper moment rebeIled and ran
away. still further into big world
in which he had no parents and no
friends to speak OF. But be finally got
to Bryan. Ohio, where he worked for his
board and by dong odd Jobs managed
TO attend school for one year. This Is
characteristic incident of the inherent
push Of the man. showing itself az such
an early age. The next year be went
into a clothing store where he remained
four years. From singing In the Hayes
campaign in &c he contracted serious
lung trouble and set cut for Texas Tor hss

health. In 1878 he went overland from
Texas to Leadville, Colorado. 1t was on
this trip that Mr.. Carvin came near
passing IN his checks and bidding quick
adieu to all that was earthly. Mr.. Car
vim and his companions were attacked by
the Sillman band of desperadoes on
the McAmie trial in the Panhandle. Mr..
Carvin's companion was killed and his
own clothes pierced with the outlaws
bullets. He lost his mules and all other
possessions and was reduced to actual
want. He walked ninety-six miles on
this trail, his shoes wearing out COM
pletely. He took his old white felt hat
on in condition in comparison with
which Robinson Crusoe was a sybarite.
But he held out and reached Leadville.
Afterwards Mr.. Carvin was engaged in
the cattle business and farming in Chau-
tauqua county this state. One year he
spent in the hardware business in Harvey
county. In the early part of the eighties,
he was working for Syl. Dunkin at
Hayesville. Afterward he was engaged
in business in Clearwater where he
married a daughter of William Ross.
Since 'S8 Mr.. Carvin has been deputy
county clerk. He is fine penman and
an expert bookkeeper. his knowledge be-
ing, in that line, entirely practical and
the better because it was dug out under
difficulties. The county clerks books
are today maryels of neatness and accu-
racy and stand proof of Mr.. Carvin's
ability. Mr.. Carvin demands the vote
of the Sedgwick county voter, because
he is a young man, because he is compe-
tent, because he is honest, because he is
a man of the people; man who, though
young, belongs to the Older men in point
of experience, because he is totally self
made, striving in his youth for an educa-
tion and finally gaining the confidence
and trust of his fellow men by his per-
sonal worth, unguided or unaSsisted by
propitious events.

THE COUNTY ISSUE.
The Republican Ticket and the Men Who
Compose It.

The Republican party lives. All that
the proudest and freest Nation of earth,
today is, it owes to the Republican party.
The spirit of this party's patriotism is
crystalized in all our great country's S
laws, and Republican progression per
meates all her institutions. In the
monetary system Of the government is
found that party's wisdom and its hon.
esty; in the federal pension rolls its con-
victions of honor and justice. But for
the Republican party the government
founded by the Fathers would have for
a quarter of a century past been but
tale that had been told, but bright dream
of the oppressed the light and hopes of
which had been wrecked and dissipated
through the selfish ambitions of unpatri-
otic political leaders. There is not a
single blessing enjoyed by the sixty-fve
million Of people who today live in the
sunshine of Americas liberty and pros
perity that is not due the Republican
party, which in preserving the nation
blessed its people with benign legislation,
cementing every part and upholding it
as a complete and noble whole. Every
new party that has arisen in
its history since the war has joined
hands with the Democratic party
which has ever been dominated by its
right wing in the states that went into
rebellion, to destroy the Republican par
ty. But the Republican party lives,
lives to unity and to upbuild and to pre-
serve all that is dear or of value to an
honest, liberty-loving and self-reliant
people. And it only lives through per-
sonal convictions and undivided efforts
as put forth through party organization.
The township primary and the county
convention are the chief corner stone, |
the foundation upon upon which is
built the grand national super
structure that has withstood the
combined assaults of all the
parties that have successively arisen to
join hands with the Democratic party to |
destroy it. The fair fame ofKansas has been
smirched, the pride of the people hum
bled and their credit almost destroyed
by the misrepresentation of the leaders
of the organization of the SO called Peo-
pies party, whose principal allies are the
crafty southern chiefs of the rebellion |
who seek to bring about instability and |
the final wreck and ruin of a govern |
ment Of, for, and by the people.
The first duty, then, of every honest and
intelligent Republican, is to stand by his |
county, state and national organization;
first by his county and its ticket, which |
in Sedgwick county means by a ticket |
composed Of men whom every voter |
may conhdentially trust and honor as
worthy fellow citizens.
