C0LORADO'S ANSWER.
1t Is Filed i'm Water Suit i'm Il.
s. Supreme Court.

Washington, Oct 13.-The answer of
the state of Colorado to the amended
bill of the state of Kansas in the suit
of the latter state to enjoin Colorado
from The further appropriation of the
waters of the Arkansas river for irriga-
ton purposes has been filed in the
United States supreme court The doc
ument was presented by Ceiorado's at
torney general, N. c. Miller, who is to
be assisted in the case by formidable
array of counsel, including former Uni
ted States Senator Wolcott and former
Justice Halt. The answer sets up the
contention that the United States su-
preme court is without jurisdiction 1t
is also denied that the Arkansas is a
navigable stream or that the use of wa
ter for irrigation in Colorado has the
effect of diminishing the volume Of the
stream in Kansas. The use of the wa
ter for irrigation is defended as in ac-
cord with the custom prevailing in the
arid region of the country and the fact
is set forth that many of the Ditch cor
porations now operating in Colorado
were incorporated by Kansas when that
state comprised the territory now en-
braced in Colorado.
Charles c. Goodale, as solicitor for the
Graham Ditch company also fled the
answer Of that company 20 the COM
plaint made by Kansas against it.

TWO VESSELS LOST.
Reports Are Coming in From
the Carolina Coast.

Norfolk, Va. Oct 13.-The first news
from the Carolina coast since the begin
ming of the hurricane dispels the hope
that the treacherous shoals between
CuTrituck and Hatteras have not claim
ed their quota of missing craft
Two vessels are known to have been
lost on that stretch of the coast, and
further reports are expected to bring
news of more wrecks as at this time
three schooners are missing with one
barge. Two schooners and a barge, in
addition to those wrecked between cape
Henry and Dan Neck were lost during
Thursday and Friday The crews of the
Schooners were rescued but the barge
went down with all on board.
The tug Buccaneer, Captain Joseph
Lane. reports that the barge Oracle
foundered off Cape Henry with Captain
Cook on her, cook and three seamen,
all white Observer A. w. Drinkwater of
the Currituck station reached Norfolk
today by the inland route and reported
the loss of the schooners Mabel Rice and
J. w. Holden Thursday and Friday
The life savers had seen the Rice
about D. m. Saturday with her crew in
the rigging but she was then two miles
out at sea and nothing could be done
for her
At 4p. m. Saturday the life savers had
succeeded in stretching line across the
wreck and rescued the captain and crew
of seven men. 1t is estimated that the
cargo of lumber carried by the schooner
Rice was worth more than $500
The three masted schooner J. B. Hol-
den of Suffolk is ashore near False Cape,
Va. and total loss. Her captain, w.
O. Cranmer of Suffolk and her crew
were taken off by the life savers.
The Holden was heavily laden with
lumber and attempts to save at least =
portion of her cargo will be made. The

Prosperity of Kansas as Shown
in Bank Records.
4 Gradual and Persistent In
crease in Deposits.
DOESN'T SHOW IT ALL.
Reports Cover Only the Money In
State Banks.
Amount Nearly Trebled Since
the Year 1891.

The story Of the prosperity OF Kansas
is shown by the simple table of the
bank deposits during series of years.
The little fluctuations do not indicate a
shortage of money whenever there is a
decrease, for sometimes the farmers
withdraw their money to buy cattle and
feed as an investment. but when there
has been a continual increase or de-
crease the deposits show whether the
state has been prosperous CT otherwise
The state bank department has been
in existence since 1891. From then until
the spring of 1893 there was an increase
in the deposits in the state and private
banks, and they reached about So. 900,-
00O This is less than half what they
are now, but that was high water mark
prior to the hard times. From then un-
til 1896 the deposits f1uctuate1 between
SIS. .Ooo. 900 and $17, SOC, 900, but late in 1896
they slumped down to about $1i, 00e,
the lowest they have been since the
bank department was established and Il
record kept.
In the last seven years the deposits
have been steadily increasing. The rec
ords show that there is always a big
increase between the call in May or
June and the one in September, caused
by the marketing OF the WheaI FROM
September to December the increase has
seldom been large. and once or twice
there has been slight decrease. This
has been caused by the fact that the
cattle feeders then take their money out
of the bank and put it into cattle. This
year, however, the December reports will
probably show a marked increase over
that in September, for the reason that
only a comparatively small amount of
the wheat was marketed in time for the
proceeds to get into the banks by Sep
tember 9, the date of the last call, and
lesfeeders are likely to be slow about
investing this fall.
The deposits in the state banks repre-
sent about half of the total deposits in
the state. The deposits in the national
banks just about equal those in the
state banks.
The number of banks in the state has
| also f1uctuated with prosperity In 1891
when the department was organized
there were Ala state and private banks
in Kansas. In December, 1896, the num-
ber had gone down to 37S, but today
there are over 500 such banks in the
state.
The table showing the deposits in the
state and private banks since the banls
department was organized, and the
number of such banks in the state, on
the dates of the calls for reports by the
bank department., is as follows
