Result of Stream Measurements.

w. G. Russell, photographer of
the U. s. Geological Survey in Kan
sas, has recently reported facts OF
more than ordinary interest which
were brought out by stream meas
urements conducted in that State.
The past year in Kansas was one OF
exceptional dryness, and the outflow
of the streams was smaller than it
has been for number of years.
Still the measurements show that
the cities and towns which draw
their water supply from the river.
need not fear a shortage. One OF the
smallest streams to be measured, the
Smoky Hill, sho wed a supply sutiic-
lent tor $4,000 people; the Nerd1gris
for 2I5, 600; the Solomon for 100000; :;
the Neosho tor 10000; and the Re
publican for 100000, all at their
lowest stages. 1t was also pointed
out that il storage reservoirs Were
constructed along these and other
streams, and parts of the flood waters
impoundcd, the supply for both
municipal and irrigation uses would
be very much increased. Mr.. Rus
sci particularly emphasized the i'm
portance OF these reservoirs in west
central Kansas, where the rainfall il
often not well distributed through
out the year, and where artihcially
stored water applied at the critical
crop growing period would be OF the
greatest value.
One OF the most important features
of the water supply which is now
utilized in Kansas, as in other States
of the middle west, is the large
amount OF water which sinks below
the sands and gravels of the river
beds and works unseen down stream
beneath the river bottom. Supply
from this source is employed in Cal
iiornia TOR irrigation with marked
success, and the use of the neglected
water from the gravcls of the Kan
sas streams to increase the States
supply is also urged.

What Advertising Costs.

People who think that advertising
is not the foundation OF big fortunes
will find food for reflection in the fol-
lowing:
John Wanamafter pays over $1,000
day just for advertising his Phila-
delphia store. He uses page day
in FIVE daily newspa pers in that city.
They are as follows: Press, 500 600 !;
Ledger, 500 ooo; Times, S5o,ooo; The
North american, SIS 600 and EUeIt-
ing Telegraph, $4,000. Up to a few
months ago Mr.. Wanamaker was
using a page in the Record at the
rate OF SS7, 500 year, which would
have made an annual expenditure OF
S3S2, 500 When he wanted to renew
his advertising contract with the
Record, the publishers asked $4,000,
more Mr.. Wanamaker refused to pa y
the amount, thinking no one else
would pay that sum for the page.
| The proposition was made to Lit
| Brothers, who accepted the contract
without moments hesitation and
they are now paying the enormous
sum of sII2,5oo for the use OF the
page for one year.

HOME strawberry CROP
is SHORT THIS SEASON

Home grown Strawberries have
been in the market several days. but
their advent has not been followed by
any noticeable cheapening of the
fruit. On the contrary, prices for
good fruit remain firm and the pros
poets are that they will continue so
through the season. The consumer
is not likely To have the opportunity
of securing good berries for less than
two boxes for quarter except under
upusual circumstances.
The fact is there is not going to be
much of a crop. Not that the season
has been unfavorable. for the CON
trary has been true. but because last
fall was so dry that many of the
berry patches were killed outright
and others were prevented from max
ing the growth necessary to put forth
and develop a good crop of berries
this summer. The acreage of berries
has been reduced by the blowing up
of the partly killed patches and al
though an unusual number of plants
have been set out this spring, the
crop will be short and the local sup
ply will not be nearly equal to the To-
cal demand.

DIR. JOHN RITTER DIES
FROM 4 PARALYT1C STROKE

Word was received in this city of
the death at his home in Osborn, this
county, of DIR. John Reiter, which
took place last night from the effects
of stroke of paralysis sustained
about four months ago. DIR. Reiter
was a practicing physician in Rock
Island for many years and many
friends here will be grieved to learn
of his demise. He was a native of
Haverhill, Mass, where he was born
20 years ago and his period of resi-
dence here began soon after the civil
war. He was a Woodman and a char
ter member of Camp %, of which he
was one of the first physicians. His
removal TO Osborn took place about
fifteen years ago. The aged wife is
the sole surviving member of the
family. The funeral will take place
Monday at 10 "A. IN.
