On Saturday May 10, the state pump
ing plant east of town will be sold at
public sale to the highest bidder for
cash. The plant consists of % foot
wind mill and 81 inch pump. This
wind mill is the largest one in western
Kansas and is capable of running the
largest pump that can be used on
the uplands. There is no question but
what it could operate any one of the
pumps at the city water works and
could keep the tank filed at least most
of the time. Should the city council
see fit to purchase this mill, which will
certainly go very cheap, a great saving
in coal would be made, enough, GER
tainly, to pay for its cost the first six
months of its service. The steam
plant would always be ready to be put
in use in case the wind was insufficient
to keep up the supply of water, and
the city engineer would have ample
time to act as water commissioner also.
where now it takes an extra man. 1t is
certainly a good time for the city to ac-
quire a good mill cheap, and to inau-
gurate a saving that would do much to
equalize the difference between debt
and revenue.

meet the eity's expenses without the
customary saloon revenue. The tax
laws Of Kansas, werei drafted with a
view of levying excise, and wher the
prohibitory amendment was enacted
no provision was made to meet the
deficit in city revenues caused by the
loss of this income. For this reason,
more than any other, prohibition has
proven a failure. The pFOhibitory
amendment should be repealed or pro

Us. Taylor of Smoky township will
this season experiment with some "pre-
historic corn" the seed of which was
taken from a mound near the Missis-
sippi river. Last year the Missouri
state agricultural college planted some
of the same seed and the management
reported favOTa6ly, and was we'll pleas
ed with the growth and yield of this
ancient species Of maize. The plant is
said to be very hardy and grows rapid
", bearing from four to a dozen ears
on each stock. The leaves are very
wide, some measuring a foot across,
and contain more nutriment than the
fodder Of common corn. The seed is
of reddish cast and is Of the dent va
riety. One of the peculiar tiles of this
species of corn is its extensive brace
roots at two and some times three joints
which makes it hard to blow down.
Great things are expected of this new
corn, and it is to be hoped Mr.. Taylor
will have good success with his exper-
iment.
