stood in an obscure corner of the lawn.
The position of the tank is such as to be-
entirely out Of the way, and yet in a
position to supply all needed pressure
for watering lawns, gardens, etc., and at
the same time affords good measure of
fire protection. In a sixty foot tower,
the tank is thirty feet above ground, and
In a seVenty-foot tower, the tank is
forty feet above ground, which, it will
be seen, furnishes quite a nice water
pressure. Another positive advantage
Of this outfit is that in those located on
the farms, villages and towns where
water pressure is not regularly supplied
by system Of wsterworks, this plan
meets the requirements to a nicely.
With such pressure as may be secured
by one of these tanks in sixty-foot

New Administration Proposes a
Department Of Agriculture,
Similar to Banking and Insur-
ance Departments.
is TO TAKE THE PLACE
Of Numerous State Boards and
Commissioners.
The Project Finds Favor With
Agricultural Glasses.
is TO TAKE THE PLACE

One of the measures that is likely to
be proposed at the coming session Of
the legislature is the establishment of
department of agriculture somewhat
similar to the present departments Of
banking and insurance. It is the idea
Of those that are working on the meas
ure that the officer in charge shall
have the title of secretary or commits
sioner and that he shall either be
elected directly or appointed by the
governor When the department is
created the work that is now in charge
OF several boards will be given to this
department and the boards abolished.
1t IS claimed by the friends of the plan
that this Will not only result in a. great
saving to the state in the matter of re
ducing the number of salaries that are
paid for the work that is done by the
boards and their expenses but it viii
also result in the work being carried
on along uniform plan and under one
management.
If the plan should succeed it would
amount to raising the Office of the sec
retary of the state board of agriculture
to the dignity of an elective state Of
fee and putting the state sanitary live
stock commission the state board of
irrigation, the state forestry commits
siOner, the state grain inspector, the
state board of horticulture and the
state fish commissioner under the man
agement of the department. Those at
work on the measure say that the work
of all these departments IS IN the IN
terests Of agriculture which is one
of the chief sources of income to the
people of this state. That the work of
all these boards could be carried on
under the management of one officer
with the aid of assistants
x-Governor L. D. Lewelling, when
he was in the city a few days ago, said
in regard to the plan:
Il have not had time to make a thor
oueh study of it. but a. cursory exami-
nation leads me to believe that it
might be adopted to advantage. It
would be recognizing the agricultural
interests of the state as being equal in
importance with the banking and in
surance interests and would probably
result in as good if not better admins
-tratiOn of these matters as the present
at less expense to the state OF course
this is only my personal opinion in the
matter. I have not the slightest idea
as to what the governor Will recon-
mend to the legislature in the way OF
needed legislation The party has cho-
sen Senator Leedy to be the leader OF
the party and they have chosen man
of good Judgment and his recomnen-
dations will no doubt have great
vrefght with the members of the legls-
lature in the matter of what is needed
in the way of laws

VIII Expend 100000 at Once
For Steel Rails.
Going to Relay Much Of the
Track In Kansas.

Made SO By President Ripley's
Economic Management.
The New Work VIII Give En-
plOyment to Hundreds.

The management of the Santa Fe
railway has settled upon another inn
portant contract which viii place thou
sands OF dollars in circulation. Heavy
steel rails. the cost of which viii amount
to $3.50 600, will be laid on the line OF
the A, T. & S. F. road proper before
June 80, 1897 The work of laying the
rails viii give employment to hundreds
of men.
The greater portion of the rails on the
line of the Santa F'e road proper, eX-
tending from Chicago to Denver, Colo.
Albuquerque, N. M, and Ell PasO, Tex,
have been down for a number of years.
and the company now finds it necessary
to replace it with new steel. During the
period in which the road was in the
hands Of receivers, much work ia the
way of improvements was done, but
this work was principally in the line OF
building and bridges.
Under the economical management Of
President Ripley the road has reached
a prosperous basis and is now in shape
to make substantial improvements.
Much of the $500 900 worth of steel
rails viii be laid on the lines of the road
in Kansas.
