asked for an opinion as to the
practice of outside liquor dealers in
shipping liquor into Kansas. The
shippers are now trying to work up
an express business whereby they
can sell liquor through an agent. 1t
is claimed that by this method there
will be no violation of the prohibitory
law. The courts will soon be called
on to settle the question.

Would Divert the Water.

In letter to Congressman Scott,
of lola, State Senator Stewart IA
vors plan to hasten the flow of wa.
ter in the Neosho river in times of
flood. The stream is so crooked that
the water in its channel travels two
to three times the distance actually
necessary to get out of the state.
In view of this he thinks systematic
plan could be arranged to make cut
offs Of good sized bitches all along
the river where tortuous bends are
found so that when the water gets
near to the flood stage it would start
through these bitches and thereby
get the water out so fast as to pre-
vent an overflow. There are places
along the Neosho where water could
be taken across bend and reach a
given point below and not have more
than oDe-third of the distance to
travel as now. Again, passing
through this cutoff the water hay
ing so much greater fall would make
double the speed. If this should
prove true there would be large
quantity of water passing off five
times as fast as at present. Sen
ator Stewards suggestion is not in
tended to construct such bitches as
would at once divert the whole vol.
ume of the river into a new chan
nel-although that might eventually
be the result-but simply to dig chan
nels whose bottom should be above
the low water level, and which would
therefore come into use only at high
tide, and would serve then as sort
of safety valve, helping to hurry the
water down stream before it could
pile up enough to do any damage.
