The 0fIlcers-elect Of Canyon county are
all good men SO far as our knowledge
goes. There is general impression
abroad that Caldwell republicans, demo
Gratis and populsts throw of on their
respective tickets In order 10 get Cald-
well men elected The vote certainly
shows they paid more attention to men
than principles whether locality cut any
figure or not They stnid with their
home men. To a certain extent this is
commendablc, beyond that IL is repre-
hensiblc and has tendency to array one
section against another 1t was the pur-
suance of policy Of this Kind that led
to the division of old Ada county and
perhaps had more to do with division
than anything else. We hope there VIII
not be repetition Of this system in
Canyon county. The recent election
was held under circumstances that pre-
cluded of fair reflection Of the senti-
menis Of the people The different sec
iions we're arrayed against one another
on the county seat question ana Fay

Irrigation in Kansas.

The ranmaker farce has come to an
end The system. If IL can be dignfied
by that appellation. has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. While
there was moisture in the air it was pos
sible in many cases by bombarding the
heavens and waiting a number Of days
to obtain rain-and a nice sum of money
from credulous people who were rendered
desperate by seeing their crops burned
up. But the game is now played out
and we shall hear no more Of the rain
maker.
The people Of Kansas and Of all the
arid region Of the west should now turn
their attention to some systematic
scheme Of irrigation. Much has been
done and is still being done in Kansas
by tapping the underiiow which is
reached at depth Of fifteen to thirty
feet. The water is raised by windmills
and discharged into reservoirs, from
whence il is conducted over the land as
needed. One large plant OF this kind
will furnish sufficient water for about
fifteen acres
The plan is not very expensive, but IL
can only be used to limited extent be-
cause as one goes north the distanc to
water increases until in the vicinity of
Goodland the underilow lies at a depth
of 1850 feet. Then there is another con
sideration. II the country. becomes cul-
tivaicd and the amount and the velocity
of the wind should decrease as greatly
as Il has in this portion of the state fol
the last thirty years. there might come
a time when it would not afford suf
fcient power for such large windmill
as are necessary.
II is believed by many that the plant
ing Of trees and system Of small pond
would be the best means Of exertinl
an influence ON the rainfall. II by som'
such systematic action good sized pon'
could be dug on every quarter section
when they were once filed full Of waite
it is believed that the evaporation woul'
produce enough moisture in the air l.
insure sufficient rainfall Throughout

his own pond without expense othe
than little time. but Of course

to secure the desired resulis.-EN.

Pullman got the sleeping car idea from

Fields. who lived in Gaines county He
in turn got the suggestion from friend

old days. 1t was years afterwards that

Tiger played an important part in the chase after Evans and Son. tag, and was employed by the south ern Pacific detectives to trail the rob bers in the mountains of Tulare county Detective Will Smith secured several large ferocious bloodhounds to scent out the robbers lair, and among those was Tiger, who so far "outscented" his rivals that he was thereafter looked upon as somewhat of phenom- enon i'll his peculiar line of business.
