NOVEL IRRIGAr1oN ScnE1rE.

Northwest of Great Bend, Kan, in pre-
historic times was a lake This lake
was formed, no doubt, by the overflow Of
the Arkansas river IN times of great
floods. From the lake leading to the
river was Az outlet which in tines OF
flood acted as an inlet to replenish the
waters of the SHALLOW lake. AS time
passed and a period of drought set In
the water of the lake evaporated. leav-
ing grassy marsh which was appro-
priated by the herds of buffalo as a wall
lows Owing. probably, to the action Of
the buffalo, the draw or ditch which act
lake became filed at several points, COM
pletely cutting OF the lake frcm the
river even in times OF freshets
The country about this ancient lake Is
low, scarcely more than ten feet above
the bottom of the lake bed For years
there has been talk Of digging a ditch
from the river TO the lake bed along the
old water course and by erecting a dam
on the Arkansas river force the sur
plus water during the spring freshets
into this reservoir to be used fer irri-
CATION purposes. This idea at last found
form in an irrigation company which
sought to exercise the rights of eminent
domain in furthering it's purposes. Tne
exercise OF this power was contested and
the question has just been decided by
the supreme court Of the state in favor
of the company.
The work which was delayed viii now
go forward and Kansas will have in its
very neart a model system of irrigation
covering parts of three counties.
There is now before the supreme court
Of the United States a case in which the
state Of Kansas seeks to prohibit the

state of Colorado from using the waters
of the Arkansas river to the detrment of
the inhabitants along the lower reaches Of
the river For number of years past the
irrigation bitches in Colorado have d.
verted the entire flow Of the Arkansas
river, except in times of floods and dur
ing the annual spring rise, which occurs
in June, being produced by the melting
snow in the mountains, What the court
will do, if the merits of the case come
squarely up cannot be guessed. 1t is
quite certain, however, that some restric-
ton will be placed upon the use of water
by the riparian owners along the head
waters of streams.
The action Of the supreme court of the
United States can have but little effect
upon the irrigation scheme above describ-
ed, for the reason that it is proposed to
use only the surplus water at the time Of
the June rise in the river. When the res
ervoir is filed, the sluces in the feeder
will be shut and those in the Arkansas
VIII be opened, allowing the fun volume
Of water to seek the lower levels.
The conditions about Great Bend are
unusually favorable for a storage
of surplus water to be used In time of
need, but there are many localities along
the Arkansas river as well as the more
pretentious Missouri, not to mention hun
dreds of lesser streams where this system
can be resorted to with absolute guaran-
tees of success. These side reservoirs

act also as an effective check upon floods.
The practical workings of the Pawnee
county irrigation lake will be watched
with eager interest by all disciples Of irrl-
cation.

TROUBLE IN oKLAHoMA.


Trouble is brewing in the land of Okla
homa. The presidential proclamation
opening up for settlement the Apache
Kiowa-Comanche reservations seems to
be pleasing to no one but the govern
ment The cattlemen are kicking because
they have leases from the government
which run until October and if the land
is opened they will be obliged to take
their fiocks and depart, or run innumera-
bic risks of collisions with the boomers
who will flock into the promised land
on the 9Th day Of August. 1t is too early
in the season to market their cattle and
next to impossible to move them
The boomers who have been waiting
for months for this grand opening are
disgruntled because the government has
determined to prevent the mad rush for
lands and the resultant squabbles over
the titles, by inaugurating a system OF
allotment after the applications have
been made. This system completely OBJ
literates individual prowess ana cunning.
A weak woman is as likely to get just
what she wants as a boomer of long ex-
perience and i've six-shooters in his belt
and a bowie knife in each bootleg Last,
but by no means least, is the Ind an who
has concluded to resist the laying of this
last straw upon his already broken back.
IN no Of hxr no
ing of these lands will apply for an in
junction preventing the registers of the
land offices where the fling is to be made
from carrying out the terms of the proc
lamation. The ground alleged in the bill
of particulars is the old one of the con-
stitution following the flag. The Indians
contend that the organic act creating the
territory provided that the constitution
should extend over it, guaranteeing to
them the protection of life, liberty and
property; that the present proceedings
are in direct violation of the constitution,
their property being taken from them
without their consent and without due
process of law.
This opening up of reserved territory
is very much of a farce. People Will
clamor for the opening up. of reserva-
tons when better lands are offered every
day for their settlement. 1t is the old
Adam in the man wanting something that
is forbidden for no other reason than
that it is forbidden.
1t seems somewhat strange to the av-
erage practical man, that a reservation
should be opened to settlement on the
9Th day of August, instead of the 9th
day Of March. The authorities certainly
know, or ought to know, that those who
go into that country on the opening day
will be compelled to spend year thout
being able to secure a crop to sustain
either man or beast. Had the time Of
opening been March in that climate
tho eager settlers could have put in a
crop of sod corn and potatoes and oats,
together with garden stuff which would
tide them over the year comfortably.
Coming in in the month of August they
