change. The meeting was held In the
large dining room of the st. James,
being an Informal luncheon given by
the two bodies To listen TO an address
by George H. Maxwell. executive
chairman of the National Irrigation
Association.
Mr.. Maxwell said that what he
wished TO urge more than anything
else was that the business men OF the
West should act together. II they did
not. there would nothing more come
of any movement than came of the one

years ago appropriated $4,000 for the

went TO pieces for 10 other reason than
that the business men Of the country,
the men who had the most to gain,
never came together, and allowed the
whole thing to he destroyed by per-
sons who had special interests.J
The whole problem, Mr.. Maxwell
said he found to be one OF organiza-
tiOn. II theh business men of the ell
tire West, not OF one state or one To-
cality alone, should agree on propo-
sItiOn, and take care that 1t should be
a sound one, when they should all pull

Well, by bringing all interests together,
as 1t now IL, you can put twice the

OVERHEAD TROLLEY
ATTACKED in COURTS

Chicago, May 3O.-Tbe doom of the
single overhead trolley system in the
United States was apparently fore
shadowed yesterday by Special Mas
ter in Chancery Frank l.. Wean. when
he filed his report In the noted Peoria
electrOlysis" case in the United States
Circuit Court.
Should Judge Grosscup approve the
findings OF the master the street rail,
way companies of Peoria directly. and
all traction lines operating the single
trolley system Indirectly. will be com.
PEELED to substitute double wire, Civ
ing return circuit without using the
earth as medium.
Master Wean rules that the current
from the single trolley wire escaping
into the ground cnuses the decomposi-

Water Works Company therefore has
good grounds for damages.

SENSIBLE VIEW OF
WATER CONTROVERSY

Topeka, Kan. May 30.-W. 4. Reed
er Of Logan. Kansas, In an article IN
the Topeka Capital says:
Having studied the condition OF the
streams and the underfiow In Kansas
with regard to their value In irrigation,
am convinced that detention OF water
In Colorado Is not the cause OF the de-
crease OF the flow Of the water In the
Arkansas river. One reason for the
above conclusion is that all the streams
Of Kansas show like decrease OF
flowing water.
"All old settlers and especially those
TINT live on the streams know that In
the creeks there Is water flowing now
but from few days to three months
each year when, twenty or thirty years
ago, these same creeks had water flow
Ing from eight to twelve months each
year and that no water has been used
from these creeks for irrigation"
Mr.. Reeder says TINT the percentage
of loss has been as great In other
streams as in the Arkansas. He also
says that wells have to be dug deeper
now than in past years. an indication
that the underflow is deeper. He be-
lieves that the use of the water for
irrigation by the people near the noun
tains is not detrment. hut rather n
benefit to the people of Kansas. He
says that the time was when Colorado
was arid that none but sudden heavy
rains ever visited western Kansas, but
now that the lands of Colorado are
more fully cultivated the result has
been decided changes In atmospheric
conditions and Kansas often has gentle
rains which soak Into the soil.
Mr.. Reeder tells the people to throw
iikes across all water draws, saying
that In that way they will receive SIX
benefits: Level roads not made uneven
with culverts; water for stock and
birds; fish ponds. which the United
States government will gladly stock
