afternoon. The same day this chief

That is Leavenworth which is in the

liquor is crime against the state and all
this is done with the knowledge of the

of Leavenworth and because public

of affairs the governor is "powerless."

The number of saloons in operation in
Leavenworth is doubtful, but 200 is

JUDGE SUTTON IRRIGATEs.
Member of the Irrigation Board Making
an Experiment Himself

All AAAAASOA4s
Judge W. B. Sutton of the state irriga-
ton board is not only xperimenting in
irrigation for the state, but is making
some practical experiments on his home
farm on Salt caeek down in Russell
county.
Judge Sutton is always ready to talk
about irrigation. He has just put in q
new pump at his home irrigation plant
which is attracting considerable atten-
| ton.
Judge Sutton has gone to work in a
practical manner, by putting cenvrifu-
gal pump in the creek, laying out his
bitches and going to work with the trac-
ton engine which is used with his
threshing machine. The pump is sim
pie in construction and cannot get out
of order. 1t has a capacity of 1850
gallons per minute. The ditch is
| between three and four feet wide at the
bottom and about eight inches deep 1t
edcloses an area of from ten to fifteen
acres. It has fall of one-half an inch
| in 100 feet. Run at less than two-thirds
| its capacity the pump fills the ditch
through four inch pipe.
This pump will raise sufficient guam
tity of water to irrigate successfully fifty
acres of land-possibly one hundred
; acres.
Judge Sutton has plenty of water at
the point where the pump is located.
There are many other places on all the
streams where they wind around and the
| fall is very slight where dams might be
safely and cheaply constructed, which
would give plenty of water TO irrigate
the adjacent land. The water in time
will work its way back to the stream and
be available to others. There is no waste
of water in irrigation.
Judge Sutton's pump is a portable one
and can be taken up and removed to any
| point The traction engine is doubtless
| The cheapest power that can be used al
present, although there Will be cases
when a stationary engine would be more
| economical,
