shaft opposite the cage upon which
Fehland was ascending at the time of
the accident. \ monkey wrench was

Various opinions are given respecting
the accident and its cause. The shaft
of the Blue Jay is an incline of about
"A degrees. The foreman thinks that in
ascending, Fehland struck his head

HINT FOR KANSAS.

Colorado farmers are selling potatoes
in carload lots at $1.10 for 100 pounds,
and the hay crop is of splendid quality
This is a condition of affairs that few
states or territories aside from Colorado
can boast of this year, as in most places
there were failures or curtailment of
crops caused by the drouth. But in the
Centennial state the abundant harvest
is undoubtedly due to the efficacy of the
irrigation system under which much of
the land is cultivated. Crop failures are
unknown in most portions of that state
this season. s.s
Reports from the sugar beet crop of
Larimer county show a sufficient yield
to keep the Love1and factory in active
operation night and day until next
April
The wheat returns have been most
profitable also. due of course, to the
generous irrigation methods prevailing
throughout the eastern portions of the
state and along the foothills. The seed
ing time was dry until May, and July
and August were without rains, but the
farmers have little complaint to make.
The splendid success of our neighbor
state should start Kansas agriculturists
to experimenting more freely with
water bitches wherever possible. To be
sure Colorado has the first opportunity
to tap the Arkansas river for irrigation
purposes. and has freely done so, but
there are other available streams that
might and could be utilized with ad-
vantage. Western Kansas has need for
all of the water available for years to
come, and Colorado's success of irriga-
ton is a hint or tip towards making
the short grass" section drouth proof.
1t might be good policy for the gov
ernment to encourage the homesteader
in an effort to upbuild the irrigation
system of the short grass" country,

WHICH IS WHIcHP

The Wichita Eagle. the Newton Kan
sas and one or two other papers of the
southwest part of the state delight in
talking about the ''hoggishness of the
northeast corner" with reference to
politics. To judge from a perusal of
their editorial columns one is led to be-
lieve that Topeka and the First district
are exhibiting a desire to be the whole
thing in Republican politics next year.
To quote from a recent issue of the
Eagle referring to Topeka. the streets
and alleys of that town are full of lofty
aspirants for all Of the highest posi-
tions in sight
Now the Eagle will undoubtedly ad
nit that Topeka, as the political center
of the state, is liable to have more can
didates for office. than a city to which
candidates are not attracted by the
nature of things Not only is Topeka
the political center of the state. but by
reason of it's being the slate capital the
legal interests here are much greater
than in other towns, and the conse-
quence is that there are a greater num-
ber of able attorneys who make To-
peka their home than can be found in
any other two cities in the state, and
these attorneys nearly always take a
great interest in political matters. One
would naturally suppose from these
facts that Topeka and the First district

SAVE THE PARKS.

Those citizens who enlist in the fight
against the proposed tax levy for the
creation of Central park are enlisting
in a general warfare against the park
system of Topeka. If the Central park
project fails, with it is likely to fall the
whole legislative structure upon which
it was proposed to build a public park
system for this city.
The strength of the opposition to the
proposed Central park is an unknown
quantity. 1t is certain. however, that
if it is generally understood that the
object of those who attack Central park
is to destroy the foundations of the To-
peka park system at the same blow, the
opposition would not be as strong and
assertive.
Apparently it is the object of the men
who are leading the fight on the park
to destroy the park commissioner law
and all other laws under which Central
park was credited. If the attack is
successful. all the progress which To-
peka has made in the development of
parks will be lost. 1t will be necessary
to begin again at the bottom of the lad
der
Aside from the likelihood that the en-
tire public park system will stand or
fall with Central park, there is a
ton.
1t is the question of whether or not
public parks are worth having at ALL
If they are worth having, they are
worth paying for. Somebody must pay

if a park is created. But Indirectly,
the whole town receives benefit from

The benefit district is merely an ar
bitrary territory, of which the extent
is determined largely in reference with
the possible location of other parks in
other parts of the city. If the plans of
the park commissioners are carried out
there will be parks located convenient
to all parts of town.
No one denies that the land to be
used as Central park has been pur-
chased at a bargain. 1t can be con-
verted into a delightful public resort.

ment; the avant courier of results. The
street pavements were enjoined, but we
have the pavements. The bridge was
enjoined. but we secured the finest
bridge in the state. The Auditorium
was enjoined, but it is a proud reality.
Now the parks are to be enjoined, but
we will have the parks.
But what a struggle it all is Nothing
is easily done in Topeka but an in
junction and it is certainly overdone.
Lawyer Ferry and his abettor Kinney
who live on South Topeka avenue,
down near the fair grounds, are the
latest movers in the injunction pro-
ceedings. They have inflammation of the
feelings because the fair grounds are
not to be Immediately improved and
steps taken to turn them into a park.
So they now will try to defeat the as
sured Central park enterprise.
If the proposed mass meeting should
be held it should be sit down upon such
selhshness. The method pursued if
successful will not only defeat Central
park, but would deprive the city of inn
proving any of its parks under the leg

sustain their personal feelings. They
also impugn the motives of such good

MARKET FOR OUR HORSES.

There is one phase of the war in
South Africa that has been beneficial
to the people in this country. That is
the demand which it has made upon
our products, particularly the horses
and mules which we raise.
Most of this class Of live stock which
has been imported into that country
since the hostilities broke out were
from the United States. It has been
found that while horses and mules from
other parts of the world are fairly
healthy and stand the climate well, they
are not so strong and hardy as those
from America. The very best mounts
which the British could secure for their
troops came from the states and terri
tories of this country west of the Mis-
sissippi. The ponies used by cattlemen
in the west proved themselves partic-
ularly we'll adapted to army uses in the
British Boer war campaigns. One thing
which has worked against the animals
from here showing themselves to a fair
advantage has been the fact that after
being taken across the water they were
given opportunity to recuperate
from the effects of the voyage but in
stead were pressed into service immed-
lately Then the demand was so great
upon them that they were not able to
stand up to it. Recently, according to
the reports of Consul General Stowe
British officers have held sales to dis
pose of many of these broken down
horses and mules.
On the other hand, the Beers have
been furnished with excellent horses.
Their mounts were acclimated, did not
eat so much as those of the English and
understood the situation much better.
They seem to have been trained to the
demands made upon them in time of
battle and stood without hitching.
In one or two of the larger cities there
have been importations of fancy car
riage horses and with the proper care
being shown them they have acquitted
themselves acceptably.
The requirements which have been
made upon the farmers Of that country,
have placed them in such a position
that when the war ends, if it ever does,
they will be practically without stock
to carry on business. For this reason
that country will continue for long
time to be good market for the horse
and mule output of the United States,
or of any country that is able to supply
what will be wanted. An excellent mar
ket has been esta blished at Capetown
and with the facilities which it has for
furnishing the needs of the same it will
be for some time yet the main destina-
tion of stock shipped from the outside
world.
