PROF. CARPENTERS IMvEsTIcA.
f TlON9.

The result of the Investigations
made by Prof. Carpenter of the State
Agricultural college concerning the
flow of the Arkansas river water into
Kansas, can hardly be overestimst-
ed in connection with the pending
litigation between Kansas and Col.
orado.
The cont Of Kansas has
been that the water Of the Arkansas
which originates in Colorado would
flow into Kansas and maintain the
volume Of the river in that state il it
were not for its diversion for irriga
tion on this side of the state line
For years this has been denied by
Colorado irrigators and engineers,
who have claimed that the water OF
this state would sink in the bed Of
the river before reaching the inter
ior of Kansas. It is evident that If
the latter proposition is correct, Kan
sas would gain nothing by securing
the prohibition Of irrigation in Colo
RADIO. II the water would disappear
before it reached the interior Of
Kansas even If there were no irriga-
tion, the only result Of prohibiting
irrigation would be to destroy agri
culture west of the Kansas line.
It was fortunate that circumstanc.
es enabled so competent an irrigs-
ton engineer as Prof Carpenter to
follow the recent Arkansas river
flood after it passed the head Of the
Colorado bitches and measure its
flow at different points in Kansas.
1t required prompt work, but he was
in time and caught up with the flood
at Dodge City. His measurements
show that from that point eastward
its volume rapidly diminished, until
at last, near the line separating Kan.
sss from Oklahoma, it had almost
disappeared.
The measurements made by him
will form exceedingly valuable evi
dence when the matter is looked into
before the supreme court in Wash
ington, where the suit brought by
Kansas is now pending.
In this litigation Colorado seems
to have the law on its side, because
state has q right to control the
water OF its non nsvigable streams.
Furthermore, congress, by enacting
the recent irrigation law, has recog-
niLed officially the right to divert
water for irrigation, thus stamping
the seal of approval upon the rejec-
ton Of the doctrine Of riparian
rights. Justice is also on Colorado's
side, because it would be unjust to
destory established agriculture in
any part of Colorado in order that
it might be built up in Kansas.
Finally, Prof. Carpenters investiga
ton shows that the facts concerning
the river flow are also on the side of
Colorado.-Denver Republican.

LOOKING FORWARD
Colorado 10 Rapidly BecomIng .
Fruit State.


Fruit State.
When the name Colorado Is men,
toned few can think Of else than
mines and mining. The Rocky Ford
cantaloupe now world famous has
shown that there is another side OF
the story.
The recent census bulletin on
Colorado is OF interest. It shows
Rocky Mountain bees turned out l.,
700, 900 lbs of honey in 1899 and will
do that and more every year in the
1885, 1909 decade. In 1890, less than
900, 900 acres we're irrigated, since
then 72O,538 acres were added or an
increase Of 81 p c. That feature sd-
ded SO million dollars to the value
of farm land.
The Colorado berry, the Colorado
apple are all coming in. The Colo
RADIO potato of the Greeley district
has already a national name.
But it is in fruit that Colorado is
destined to lead and the rapid devel.
opment Of the bitches in the next
decade is expected to double and
qusdruple the fruit interests. At the
present ratio of increase this state
will take a high rank in the value of
fruit produced before the next census
is taken.-Kansas City Packer.

SIGNS OF LOVE.

It is said man is in love with a
woman:
If he is perfectly willing to do any,
thing she may ask, no matter what sort
OF an idiot it makes him appear.
If he is able to tell without reference
to notes what dress she wore the last
week, and. also to describe the color
and design of her hat.
If he'll wear anything in the line Of
haberdashery which she NAV see fit
TO buy or make for him with her own
hands.
If he Is willing to remain up until
dawn for the privilege of escorting
her home from a dance his case is
hopeless. Although, of course. he NAV
be night Waterman by profession or
victim of insomnia.
If he stands around at balls and
parties with a look Of unmitigated
gloom brooding over his beetling brow.
and following with his eyes her every
movement with sort of doglike ex-
preston, he is either in love or his liver
is out Of order.

many ways as gardening. The fruits

great satisfaction. Set against bank
