ASSESSORS TO ASK
What Tax Payers Along the
Arkansas Think
OF THE IRRIGATION SUIT
Will Make Special Report to
County Commissioners.
OF THE IRRIGATION SUIT

The township assessors Of Kansas met
Monday to fix a basis of valuation for
assessment of property. But this is not
all the assessors in counties along the
Arkansas river did IN some Of the coun-
ties they decided TO look up the matter
Of sentiment among farmers as to the
irrigation suit that is TO be brought
against the ditch companies of Colorado.
No formal action was taken in the matter
here, but in Reno county a resolution was
passed requesting each assessor to get
an expression of views from tax payers
on the subject. The Hutchinson News
says:
AT their recent meeting and at the
suggestion Of the board Of county com
missioners, the assessors of the county
passed a resolution 10 get an expression
Of the tax payers Of the county touching
the Arkansas river question. There is
considerable agitation just now regard
ing the question OF the water supply in
the river as affected by the irrigation
bitches Of eastern Colorado and western
Kansas.
''As the assessors go over the townships
they will take an expression from the cit
liens as to whether they want water TO
how in the river and whether they would
favor the county contributing money
toward investigating and lighting irrigat-
ing the land Of western Kansas and east
ern Colorado from this river. II the as
SCISSORS are not ready to make their gen
eraI returns by the first Monday in next
month they VIII report to the commits
sioners upon this special question. At
the next meeting Of the board Of county
commissioners the question in its differ
ent bearings viii be discussed.
The commissioners before taking any
action in the matter, or before consid-
ering any action, desire TO ascertain the
exact feeling Of the people Of Reno county,
and have chosen this way of doing it.
The question is one which has been dis
cussed for a long time. The people Of
Wichita and Sedgwick county favor
fund to test the legality Of stopping the
flow of water in the river.
"As a city question the council of
Hutchinson has already decided not TO at
tempt any interference with western irri-
CATION, believing that western Kansas de-
is worth more to this city than
the stream of water.
by the course now taken the views of
all Reno county can be learned

CALL Of PRIMARIES
Republicans Will Nominate on
March II.
WILL BE A WALK AWAY
For Republicans in the Next
Election.

The Republican city central committee
met in the Office OF Chairman Joe Bru-
bacher last night and called the city pri-
maries for the evening Of March :. from
$50 to O'clock
When the resolution for the matter Of
nominations was offered by Harry Ded-
rick it was supposed TO be a species o.
the Crawford county system Of making
nominations by mass convention, but
after the discussion of various and sun
dry amendments by several committee
men II was seen to be nothing more than
calling the regular primary in the evening
instead Of the afternoon. The resolutions
read;
Resolved, That the chairman Of the
committee call primary at places in the
different wards TO be hereafter designated
to open at 100 p. N. and close at 900
o'clock p. m, TO nominate Republican
candidates for the council and school
board. The clerks and judges TO be select
ed from the voters present al the opening
and to take the names of every voter as
he votes. None but Republicans 10 be
allowed TO vote and the name Of the can
didate having the largest vote shall be
certified TO the city clerk as the RepubL-
can nominee
Some Of the members were opposed to
the plan Of holding the primaries so late
at night, and insisted that if it was not
70 be mass meeting proper it ought to
be held in the day time. They were not
opposed to calling it a mass meeting and
holding 1t at night, but against calling it
a mass meeting at night and holding
It open long enough for a primary.
On the first vote the ballot was eight to
eight.
Chairman Brubacher win after investi-
eating the matter select places for holding
these meetings and publish the list for
inspection.
The committeeman last night We're
unanimously Of the opinion that the cam
paign would be quiet and a walkaway
for Republicans. There are not many can
didates that have as yet made any an
uOuncement.
