The following dispatch from Kan

of proximity to the cattle growing
districts.

The racing program for the fair
is now out and an examination OF 1t
will please all lovers Of this sport.
The track, which is pronounced one
Of the best in the state, will be in
better condition than ever, and the
purses will be liberal enough to in
sure the best efforts.
There will be a cowboy relay race
each day of the fair. These events
are the most interesting to the spec

the world record for the five mile
relay race a strong effort will be
made to lower it again.
Several good trotting and running
races are on the program, and the
wild west sports on Frontier Day,
August ~, will be numerous and
varied. The reports already received
from horsemen show that great in
terest is being taken in the coming
fair, and some of the best horses in
the state will be here.
The liberal premiums being offered
will bring out the finest displays ever
put together in this section, and
make a very attractive feature of the
fair. The splendid financial condi-
ton of the association at the open
ing of its third season has not been
equalled by any other fair in the
state, and the officers and committees
are determined to make this years
fair even q greater success than its
predecessors.

PROPOSED N0u80B BSoOupSoVVsSo
One of the attorneys for Kansas in
the Colorodo Kansas water suit sug
gests as compromise that Colorado
agree to use only the flood waters oil

Under this agreement, when the
river is at its normal height, ouI
farmers would have to stop using
the water.
This is just the time of the yesl
that they need the water the most,
and inasmuch as but few Of our
farmers can afford to have reservoirs

will give general satisfaction.
The Holly school board held q

to retain Prof. Momyer as principal
but letter from him stating that it
