Broom Corn Raisers Should Manufacture

Broom Corn Raisers Should Manufacture
Their Product.
The low price Of broom corn brush
points out mistake the producer has
made in not providing for the manu-
facture of his product at home. 1t will
be noticed that while the brush is
hardly bringing the grower the cost Of
harvesting, the price of brooms has not
decreased, thus showing thatthe manu-
fscturers are more than doubling their
profits at the expense of the producer.
The manufacture Of broOms is very
simple and the cost of machinery out
a trife. In the broom corn districts Of
the east the producers never sell a
dollars worth of brush in the bale.
Each raiser has his own machinery for
making bFoOms and in the dull winter
season the crop is worked up and sold
in a finished condition to merchants
and commission houses. The broom
corn raiseFs of Sherman county should
do the same.
The conditions under which the
agricultural profession is now laboring
has been brought about in a consider
able extent by allowing everything to
leave the farm in a raw or crude state,
instead of perfecting the product where
it is grown. This practice has permit
ted combinations and trusts to control
notonly the price Of the finished article
but the raw material as well, and the
result has been that the manufacturers
have got the profits and the farmers
the experience.

Yesterday the water commissioner
put in a busy day cutting out hydrants
where the occupants Of office or house
had failed to pay water rent for the
ensuing quarter. This policy was in
augurated to force q general contFibu-
ton from the water users, but it would
be still bet ter plan to remodel the
rates and then force q general payment
As it is at present an of1ceholder
who uses water only for drinking pur-
poses has as much to pay Is tbs OCou-
pant of q residence. Then, again, the
water rent assessed against the owner
Of an Office where the rear is used for
rooming or residence pays no more
than the one who makes his home else
where. A remodling Of rates will do
more toward prompt payment Of rents
than any other course that could be
adopted.

.THE BIG MILL N OPERATION.
The State Irrigation Plant EOW Bun BY 8
Monster Wind-zngins.
Does the Work Of a Ten-HOrss Fewer
Engine without strsin-Is the
Largest Mil Ever Put Up in
Northwestern Kansas.

The big Eclipse windmill, which has
taken the place of the gas engine at
the state irrigation plant, was turned
to the breezes for the first time Satur-
day afternoon, and astonished many
by the ease which it forced the water
from the underaow to the spacious re-
.servOir above. The mill is made esps-
cially for irrigation purposes and cost
s4OO The wheel is % feet in diameter
and is mounted upon a 5O-fOot tower.
It is the largest mill ever erected in
Northwestern Kansas, if not in the
state.
Some idea of the power the mill is
capable of producing can be conceived
when it is known that it operates a six
inch tubular we'll bored TO q depth Of
166 feet through the plains mari into
the second water bearing strata or IN
derfow. The cylinder is a Cooke five
and one-half inches inside diameter
and sixty inches long, anchored 1853
feet from the ground. The plant in a
fair wind will raise 5000 gallons Of
water an hour, and will easily irrigate
a 20-acre tract of land.

The instituted praise of the comrades

Ability and Received the Praise

Present

The special session for the public In
stallation of officers of the G. A. R. and
". R. @. of KanoradO, was held Satur-
day. Preceding the installation of
officers Of the ". R. c., the J. A. Howe,
post No. 267, G. A. R., commander J. D..
Wsreing in the chair, was called to or
der, and proceeded with the installation
of their officers. So far as the secretary
pro TENS knowledge goes, the veterans
was the first public inaugural of any
order ever held in the village; it was
interesting, not altogether because Of
the grace, or ease, or military precision
with which they carried out their parts,
nor for the blaze of military costume
or equipment that graced the scene,
though they did well, but it was deeply
impressive from the fact that they
we're the surviving veterans Of the
grsndest army and from the most ter
rible bsttlehelds the pen Of history has
immortalized.
Let Us hope that the principles they
forever established, and the cause of
humanity they pushed to such e
permanent and secure a height, as
well as our beloved union and country
they preserved, may make it the last
great conflict settled by gage Of battle,
But these heroes are now our fathers,
husbands and brothers, our neighbors
and friends, and having beaten their
swords into ploWshares and their
spears into pruning hooks" and are
now occupied in making happy homes
and developing the country whose life
and Institutions they perpetuated.

Usurr claim Not sustained.

Last week a case was brought in the
justice court before Judge Calvert that
is Of special interest to those fortunate
enough TO be able to borrow money.
G. E. Lee had brought suit against J. S.
Warren for the payment of a promisOEy
note Of small amount which had been
given the plaintiff for a balance owed
on interest. The defense based its re-
fussl of payment on the grounds Of
usurious interest, and the plaintiff
stoutiy maintained that there was no
proof that could be brought before the
court to prove the note was given for
anything but "value received" After
able arguments by Attorney MOntgo-
merry for the plaintiff, and Attorney
Perdieu for defendant, the court rem
dered decision giving plaintiff judg-
ment for amount asked.

Last Wednesday night the barns and

the contents consisting Of farming i'm

feed and 800 bushels OF corn were also
consumed, entailing q loss upon Mr.,

CallOw we're fixed upon the son of Joe
Kolacny and John and Lewis Beneda,
who work upon the Kolscny ranch.
4 warrant was sworn out for their
arrest and the hearing set for Wednes-
day before Judge Calvert. Bail was
fixed at $500 each, and was procured by
young Kolacny only, the Benedas going
TO Jail.
At the preliminary Wednesday the
prosecution was conducted by Attor-
neys Hsrtzler and Andrews and the
defense by Attorneys Murphy and
Eagsn. The evidence brought out the
fact that feud, growing out of con-
test case, existed between the two par
ties, and this, coupled with the fact
that the accused were the first to dis
cover the fire, we're the grounds upon
which the prosecution based its case.
After hearing the evidence, pro and

dismissed.

QUEER WEATHER FOR KANSAS.
Is Western Kansas Getting into the Rain
Belt Limits.


The weather the past week has been,
for this altitude, decidedly queer.
Nearly every night a heavy dew has
fallen, which along toward morning
has turned to white frost, producing
nearly as much dampness as a light
rain would have done. Wednesday
morning a drizzling rain set in, continu-
ing all day, and increasing as the day
advanced, and toward evening turned
to snow.
Old-timers have no reeollectiOns Of
such weather at this time Of the year,
and it is applicable only through the
proposition that the climatic condi-
lions are under the metamorphorsis
that will put the semi-arid regions
within the limits Of the rain belt.
