Long Beach's Road Fund

The city of Long Beach yesterday began
proceedings against County Auditor Bick-
nell, to compel him to draw his warrant
upon the county treasurer in favor of the
plaintiff for the sum of $SSS.S5, to which
Long Beach lays claim for its road fund
out of the tax levy of the fiscal year 1S9T-9S.
1t is alleged that the board of supervisors
has no control over a portion of the Long
Beach road district for which the money

these thoroughfares is vested in the munic-
ipality of that city.

Where Do We Come IMP

A whole lot of farm lands are being
well soaked up from the big irrigation
ditch.-BARToN COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
Why is it we hear no more about the
great Cheyenne lake? Ellinwood con-
tributed her share toward building the
Koen ditch, but if its ultimate purpose
is only to irrigate the farm land in the
vicinity of Great Bend, we don't see
where the benefit comes in to this COM
munity. Will the DEMOCRAT kindly en-
tighten US?
The farmers of the east end of the
county will 'come in" all right in time.
The big Koen ditch is owned and man
aged by the Grand Lake Reservoir Co.
The ditch is now almost completed
from the Arkansas river to the Chey-
enne bottoms, which bottoms will IN
time become the Grand Lake. Water
cannot be turned into the bottoms, and
from the big lake drawn off to irrigate
the eastern end of the county, until the
lands in the bottoms are secured either
by purchase or condemnation. All
this will take time. When this is done,
then the big lake will be fact and not
a theory. Then Ellinwood citizens,
and Clahin citizens, and Hoisington
and Great Bend citizens, can begin
awaiting themselves of the pleasures and
privileges of one of the largest arti-
fetal lakes in the world; and the eastern
half of the county-at least that part of
it lying lower than the lake bed -can
avail themselves of the irrigation faciIi-
ties already beng enjoyed by the farm
ers between the river and the bottoms.
