BURNED THE BARN.

Tramps Supposed to Have Burned the
Teagarden Stable,
The fine two story barn belonging to
George Teagarden burned Monday
evening. The barn cost $500 and was
ensured for $3.50. The fire was suppos-
ed to have been accidently set by
tFamps sleeping in the hay with which
the loft was filed.
The stock, wagons and harness that
we're in the barn we're saved.
The fire was discovered By little
Johnny Fitzgerald, who ran down town
and gave the alarm. The fire apparatus
was got out and a splendid run made,
but as the water mains in that part of
town are only small iaterals no connec-
ton could be made. The fire at that
time was confined to the loft and as it
was seen to be impossible to save the
barn, all efforts were made to protect
the dwelling houses 10 the mldsI OF
which it stood.
As the wind was ia the south. the
only direction in which the flames
could be carried away from the threat
ened buildings, to save them was {
comparatively easy matter. but bad the
wind been in any other point it would
have been impossible to have kept thC
fire from spreading.
In the last six months GOOdlsnd hal
had three fires and in every instsncC
the wind has been in the only qusrtel
/ in which the flames could have bssI
carried away from adjoining buildings

Gives The Kansas City Star Some Tnfsrma-
ton About the Matter.

Gives The Kansas City Star Some Tnf8rma-
tIea Abont the Matter.
Senator Brown was interviewed by
Kansas City Star reporter a few days
ago on the irrigation problem in west
srn Kansas, more particularly as to
what should be done by the legislature
of Kansas and congress, and also the
effect on this country of the decision
of the United States supreme court on
the Wright irrigation case. The sena-
tor was chairman of the state senate
subcommittee on irrigation, and is
solicitor for the for the receiver of tbs
two largest irrigation systems in the
Arkansas valley, and has been the at
torney for several years for almost all
the irrigation companies in southwest
Kansas and is q practical irrigatoF by
farming.
The senator thought the Wright de-
cision beneficial to southwest Kansas
as to the valley people and of imme-
date benefit if they would take advan-
tage of it, and ultimately a means OF
benefit to a large portion of the high
lands.
"EVery western senator and congress
man." Mr.. Brown said, sought to stand
out and not vote for any appropriation
for rivers and harbOrs until congress
will spend some of those millions On a
storage system at the heads of the
streams which in the aggregate make
up the Mississippi river; the trouble
with congress is that it has been work
ing at the wrong end Of the stream, for
each and every year the bottom of the
river bed of the Mississippi gets higher
by means of the soil washing down
from those western states. This would
be in a large measure remedied by stop
ping the food action through a reser-
vOir or storage system; then the water
could be taken out Of these reservoirs
and run out over the arid or semi-srid
states and would gradually find its way
back into the big stream at time
when the water is usually low therein.
Thus accomplishing good to the arid or
ssmi-arid countries in making them the
best farming countries under the sun,
also saving the expense of dykes and
levies and much of the dredging on the
Mississippi and making the navigability
more uniform, and the expense of this
reservoir system would not be much
more than than the steals and waste of
some Of the river and harbor bills, and
the southern interests would thereby
be better subserVed.
"The uplands would be benefited by
partly the same means as the valleys,
but mainly by forming districts and
damming the draws, ravines and low
tplaces and catching and holding the
storm waters and using it when crop
seasons come around. Then canals
can be taken out and when authorized
congressional legislation and run from
the Rockies out across these highlands,
The experiments now being conducted
by the United States surveying corps
show that there is an immense water
bed to the northwest of US and this can
be utilized"
The senator thinks the irrigation
board should be continued under an
