A KANSAS ENTERPRISB

The people cf township in FInney
county, Kansas, whose land lies high
and dry and is cut off from the possi-
blllty of securing water from the Ar
kansas, the only stream in the vicinity,
by an impossible range of sand hills,
have under consideration the forma-
tion of all irrigation district on a
very unique and novel plan. The KAN
sas irrigation law provides for the
formation of irrigation districts and the
issue of bonds thereby to construct
irrigation works. The people in ques-
tion are scattered over an area miles
square. What they propose to 90 is to
select Il single section of land centrally
located, lay 1t off in small tracts, reserv-
ing plenty of ground for public parks,
ETC., and all the district move to this
section, the proceeds of the bonds of the
district icing used to put in a pump
ing plant and build reservoir large
enough to irrigate the small tracts
settled upon. Thus they will be
enabled to enjoy the advantages Of
irragated land, a good school and
social privileges, using their scattered
dry farmes to grow such grain and
fodder crops as they may produce.
The plan is excellent if properly earned

INCREASE POTATOE ACREAGE.

It is a remarkable fact that while
American farmers cultivated over 81
million acres in wheat last year.
which yielded but eleven bushels to the
acre, worth 53.S cents per bushel at the
farm, and While the equivalent of over
180 100000 bushell of that crop were
sold in European markets, yet the
farmers are still importing potatoes,
while the farm value of the wheat crop
of 1898 was but S6.16 per acre, that of
the potato crop for the same year was
over S41. The imports of potatoes for
the ten months ended with April last,
were 1880, ,S03 bushels, valued at ports
of export at 1858 ,O54; while for the
ten months ending with April, 1898,
the amount of potatOes imported
8, ,446, 49, bushels, valued at 81 ,697, 191
1t Can he thus seen that the acreage
devoted to potatoes in the United
States, maybe eAtendep somewhat
with profit, while the wheat acreage
certainly should be curtaiied very con-
siderably. by raising no potatoes for
export, the duty OH foreign tubers be-
comes operative and raises the price
not only Of the potatoes imported, bu:
also of the entire crop in the United
States remaining uncOnsumed when
importations are made.-I,Ttgat,on Agt

The state L. \. s. l. u, met at To-
peka, December 5th, and elected j. F.
Willets president and re- elected J. 3.
French secretary. The convention
denounced the issuing of bonds in
times of peace and protested against
the Baltimore plan. referring to free
passes tine convention says: 1.-The
acceptance OF use by any candidate or
officer of free transportation shall make
void his title to the OfIice.'' The
meeting was quiet but the interest was
we'll maintained. Those who think
the alliance is dead reckon without
proper knowledge of the question.
The spirit of cooperation is growing
and funiers are finding out that
while they cannot contro! all of the evil
conditions that confront them, they
can create many conditions favorable
to themselves.

1t looks as if, in the near future,
Fellsburg would have to provide her
self with a church edifice. The inter-
est taken in religion as evinced by
the large, quiet and attentive audi
ences which have been in attendance
on the services for the last month is
something phenomenal. The school
house is much too small to accommo-
date all who wish to attend, and be-
sides it leaves the school room in an
undesirable condition for the next
mornings school session.
Your correspondent from the other
side of town wants to know why Fells-
burg school is smaller this year than
it has ever before been. The only
reason we can think of Is, the teacher
is telegraph operator and pupils do
not attend for fear they will be electro
cuted.

massacres is published 10y the Fossisch-

With these words, holding her baby
in her arms, size dashed herself from
the rock into the abyss yawning at It's

silently followed her example until the
ravine WAS filled with corpses. The
